trying to explain the difference between an aussie sausage sizzle and a hot dog to an american friend. What would be the closest equivalent?

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

Hot dogs are boiled. Sausage sizzles are 'broiled'. One little consonant makes a mighty difference to the end result.

My sister has been given a secondment to another team. She's had to change her email signature, so it's got her new role, its subteam, then team, then wider department. A whole lot of words to say what she's doing.

What's the point of silicone free shampoo, when its conditioner has silicone as the second ingredient? 🤦‍♀️

Advertising to the gullible. Which includes practically everyone who sees XXX-free on the label and thinks "That's gotta be better for me!". I am looking forward to fat-free soap.

I’m constantly back at Mts Washmore and Dishmore.

The premade ‘cleaning music’ playlists that come up kind of suck. lol. Idk, I’ll probably just try to find some older ones with 80s/90s music - bonus for the fun kind of corny

What kinda music? The DT will make you a playlist.

I found my sewing machine. I wonder if it still works well, or if it’s full of dust.
