Things that sh*t me the seventeenth

Dear real estate agents.

Stop with the ads with no prices!
Please do “offers over” or a price range.
If it says contact agent, i skip

We have had disrupters come with hotels (air bnb) and taxis (uber) - for crying out loud we need a disrupter to come for the real estate industry!
You guys are not celebrities. We don’t want to see your faces and names in lights. Just tell us the price that will get the sale done.

Shits me

Mum tried selling her place 10 years ago, agent flat out refused to put a price on the listing.

Ended up with **** all interest, no bids at auction and he tried to get her to take an offer after the auction of well under asking price.

Still lives there today.

... which would royally **** you when you try renting from elsewhere. Estate agent shitlists are a real thing.

My last rental I nearly spent the equivalent of the bond on cleaning and fixing holes to get the bond back but too stay a wanted tenant with no black marks if needing to rent again in future.

People insisting that Australia is an island.

It's a continent you morons.

Has this come from a Twitter thread about Australia being larger than Greenland and thus should be of more interest in Trump?

 

[cats_09]

Maybe its a continent island!

I remember being taught that in school but from a geographical point, the definitions for what constitutes an island & a continent changed a few years ago

Geographers define an island & a continent as two separate things - an island is a mass of land that is both “entirely surrounded by water” and also “smaller than a continent.”


That's why Greenland is now recognised as the largest island in the world

I was kinda joking

Music from fifty years ago when we were teens was Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington.

The Beatles felt like they were from fifty years ago in the 80s because most of their clips were in black and white, ancient stuff.

In reality they were only 20 years ago back then, 20 years ago from now I was listening to The Strokes, Bloc Party and Gorillaz.

Greenland isn't as big as it appears on maps. It gets distorted on flat maps that try to represent the round world. WA is bigger than Greenland.

WA is similar to Greenland, it is big but only the South West of WA is habitable only the FIFO morons go north of Perth for money.

I've lived in WA lor most of my life and the furthest north I have been was to Yanchep or Two Rocks when Atlamtis was there.

Trump’s interest in Greenland is strategic. Russia and China are interested too.

Should replace John Farnham's "you're the voice" as Australia'a (unofficial) national anthem!

Been clenching my jaw so hard that my face aches

Head cold

YouTube algorithms and their dumb ads.
Yeh I know I'm over 40 now so I'm "old" but STOP recommending those cringe nostalgia videos about "90s kids will only understand".
And also, no I do not want to learn how to do a chair workout or sign up to Temu.

This could be in the "Things that make you old" thread too I guess.

And get the FKCU off my screen unskippable ads.

That was music your middle aged mum liked when it came out and I'd argue age hasn't done much for it.

Youtube have found a way to annoyingly make adblockers annoying

I have one and they now start the video with an ad that doesnt switch - my solution is to go back to the home page and re-click - which is annoying if they put 5 in a row - click back press click back ugghh

My a.d.b.l.o.c.k.e.r has been reduced to FKCU all on YouTube now.

WTF!?

So I can't even mention a certain add-on on here.

That's stupid.

Funny thing is my mum loved it back in the day
She hasn't liked his music for years.

Yet I'm still a die hard Farnsey



Get around him!

Pluto is still a planet.

Was it size or something else that saw it "declassified" as a planet?

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Cos it hasn't 'cleared its orbit' of other debris apparently
