Society & Culture Things in life you just don't understand - Part 5

That sounds alright to me to be honest.

Fried icecream that resembled a jam donut would be sensational

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

My mum got jam donut flavoured ice-cream. I don't understand why someone thinks the world needs that flavour of ice-cream. I also don't understand how having had me and my sister try it that the two who like jam donuts didn't like it and then you have me that likes it but hates jam donuts.

If I have a jam donut, I want the texture of a jam donut. Not ice cream

I really want a warm jam donut now

 

[Roobs321]

Jam donuts were definitely one of my fave foods as a kid

On the way to afterschool swimming squad my dad often went via the bakery and got us some jam donuts or finger buns to fuel up

People going on and on and on about the rain. 1 in particular at work, every time it rains. Easily 10 mins complaining, checking out the window every 20 mins for when it's 'safe to go out'.

STFU indeed. Farmers are screaming out for some as the crops need it desperately.

Yep , I share farm my property , we’ve had one good crop in the last 5 years. A region near us hasn’t had adequate rain in 6 seasons. My crop is just shooting now but we’ve had maybe 12mm of rain in the last few months so things aren’t looking good.

Stuff all rain, cold weather and frosts. Terrible mix

We do need frosts at times as they help set the stone fruits like apricots out here , but consistent frosts are no good too.

 

[Beerfish]

I'm more than happy for the farmers to have every drop of our rain.

Yeh try being a builder in winter

Rain triggers me like nothing else these days

Hate it , would love to be able to enjoy but all I think about is

Lost time
Erosion
Leaks
Uncovered materials
Soggy sites
Bogged trucks
Ruined concrete
Flooding neighbors
Earthwork rework

And on
And on

6 months over summer in WA and 6 months over winter in SE Qld?
Work forever!

I followed the sun for about 18 months in 94/95. I saw Test cricket in three countries but I did miss the winter.

You make good points. We are always thinking about the farmers. But no one thinks about the builders.

It’s either

Rain and food for people
Or
No rain and dwellings for people.

If I was 20 again maybe
Could go up north to the mining cash cow like everyone else but I like my bed too much
(Been there done that didn’t love it )

Thank you for your understanding

For disclosure I did choose to live in the wettest area of my state so it’s of my own doing

Luckily it’s drying out over the last 10-20 years

The old locals reckon it used to rain 9 months of the year and drop off the trees the other 3

Between the rain , following the Dockers and getting old I live in a perpetual state of “grump “

Women's magazines.
We sell them where I work and I still don't know how they sell.

Make up shit, clickbait front cover, unsubstantiated claims - most likely lies.

My self esteem significantly improved when I stopped reading women's mags.

Raining in the cities doesnt really help the farmers anyway (i think).
