Are they terrorising hobart?

I believe that is the current situation. And Hobart could use a little terrorising I think.

Brilliant maths by the MIL this morning. Tow truck finally came to take her busted car away. Apparently she's going to spend $4k to get a new motor put in it, to then try sell it for $5k. We don't know when the car will be back or when it will sell. She has already given the tow truck driver $150 to take it away.

A wrecker offered her $1k to take the car off her hands as is weeks ago. Please someone make this woman make sense for me

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 6 points 1 day ago

$5k is way higher than $1k, that's like $4k profit. And the motor cost $4k which is less than what you can sell the car for afterwards so that means it is worth doing. And the wrecker is just a scammer, they are trying to give her $1k for a car she's going to be able to sell for $5k. Obvious rip off, they just want to put a motor in and get all that profit for themselves.

Your MIL knows what's what. She's not going to be fooled by your fancy-pants 'profit=5000-4000-150'. That's just ivory tower university maths, it's not how the real world works.

Sorry, apparently I can explain the thought process, but nothing can make it actually make sense...

Have to ride to the shops soon..

Good err.. timing. I need a poncho.

Dug another hole for a birdbath base that's going in tm though so that's positive. Hopefully the birds agree not that they need one in this weather.

[โ€“] mertn22@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

The birds here enjoy the bird bath. Some drink, some wash, some just play about in it. The BB needs to be a few metres away from people to give the birds some space if that is possible. No hole digging needed, just a flat place.

[โ€“] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

So now you need a reddit account to view old.reddit.com/whatever.

Lol how dare people use the site without them gathering their precious data.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Funnily, I remembered I have a throwaway account I made to post my ex's message to me lol just for a weird sense of "no you can't private message me, I will blast it idc". I mean, it lead to nothing but that was a few years ago now.

I recently logged back in, just to troll incels/manosphere idiots tbh. I'm having much more fun now than I ever did with my old account. It's kinda funny, especially this dude who hasn't privated his profile, so I got to see him goon over camgirls and hentai and post in an erectile dysfunction sub lol. Absolutely hilarious and brings me a small amount of joy. Especially after he called women "creatures" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Idk what data it's gonna collect, but it's attached to a burner email I made, with fake personal details, so it's whatever lol

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Go Trolling idiots. I gave up Whisper but being evil to stupids was pretty much the whole reason I had the account.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It gives me life tbh ๐Ÿ˜‚

Boys who think they are subs but really aren't are perfect targets. No limits? Really? Let me fetch my chainsaw!

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I still happily troll morons from time to time.

My feed has been curated though, and I don't really get those subs suggested anymore.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I haven't bothered to curate my feed honestly, other than subbing to a few video game ones that I play. So maybe it's because I like video games lol

I also customised my avatar with the non-binary flag, which tends to trigger those types of twats without me even having to try. I haven't had this much fun in years lol

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

It's good fun getting people upset over absolutely nothing. It amazes me how people care so much at times.

You're fighting the good fight lol

Those fucking people are wild!

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

I still have my account, but haven't posted, commented, or voted since the great diaspora. Not sure how much data that gets

[โ€“] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I have an account and that doesn't load.

I'm beat.

Good night everyone. Sweet dreams and stay warm. ๐Ÿ˜˜

Filled up a couple of days ago because I thought the excise going back on would raise the fuel price, but so far price seems to have done nothing. Not complaining.

Casey on the terrace in the snow. Not happy.

( snow pics are hard to take, so bright the camera filtered it down, I don't know the lingo here, just saying what I am seeing )

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

My silly babies I've had over the years lol

Dusty (aka Lil Puss) enjoying mums car bonnet. Had her since I was 8yo.

Elvis, my cat from when I was young and still living with mum

Ruby, wondering why I'm taking photos of her lol

young Mickey, mid sneeze

young Mickey enjoying the foot rest thing

young Mickey, post surgery, in the body suit thing I made from my old leggings so he wouldn't eat his stitches

Shame I don't have photos of Puss (Big Puss), Polly, Sandy, or Tigger (all cats). Or the two budgies I had, Diamond (white, but not albino) and Sapphire (top half of her was a yellow/green, bottom half was blue).

Oh I also had two guinea pigs I don't have pics of sadly, Tom and Jerry lol

Edit:

bonus Ruby pic

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)
