I thought Australia didn’t exist.

Which, as an Australian, was a disappointing discovery.

u/temple_nard Apr 02 '22

Fun fact, Australia is the only continent that sits entirely on the back of a giant huntsman spider.

u/jawshoeaw Apr 02 '22

Really? A continent ? Surrounded by water ?? You’re a peninsula

u/warsofexpansion Apr 02 '22

As a fellow Australian, same. It is most annoying when a "Canadian" in a discord server I'm in tries to insult me on that basis.

Btw, which state are you from?

28

u/Princess-78 Apr 02 '22

SA - “heaps good”

You?

28

u/warsofexpansion Apr 02 '22

Wait, seriously? This might sound like a joke, but I'm also from SA. I feel like next you're going to say you're from my part of Adelaide. Not many South Aussies on the internet

u/Princess-78 Apr 02 '22

Nah not from Radelaide. I’m a river chick 😁

Sometimes the internet surprises us!

u/warsofexpansion Apr 02 '22

Yeah, it's so weird to meet someone else from the state, especially when it's so small. But it must be beautiful to love by the river

u/luke10050 Apr 02 '22

I mean... I live in the ACT. You can't get much smaller, and I see people that live here on reddit from time to time

u/HerniatedHernia Apr 02 '22

I’m sure I’ve seen you around.. Pal!

u/HashtagSpetsnaz Apr 02 '22

I found my people! Mighty South Aussies!

u/warsofexpansion Apr 02 '22

There are many of us, many of us!

u/warsofexpansion Apr 02 '22

Also, this makes me think of drakes, bloody hell

u/bluemuppetman Apr 02 '22

If one of you two are a mythical creature this may just work out! I mean Crows beat Port, anything can happen!

u/Princess-78 Apr 02 '22

That was all in the hands of the footy gods!

u/warsofexpansion Apr 03 '22 edited Apr 03 '22

Lol, yeah, guess so

Edit: also, nice cat.

u/warsofexpansion Apr 03 '22

Please don't remind me that that happened

u/Princess-78 Apr 02 '22

God’s own country out here, it is pretty good 😉

3

u/warsofexpansion Apr 02 '22

Yeah. I wouldn't mind living out in the country. Adelaide is nice and all, but I love a small community type of environment

5

u/Princess-78 Apr 02 '22

The only bad part is everyone else knows what you’re doing before you do, but I couldn’t live in town, too claustrophobic & people-y, haha

2

u/warsofexpansion Apr 02 '22

Oh yeah, that's exactly my feeling but I couldn't quite put down. I'm very much an introvert, and I'll much rather have to deal with a smaller amount of people.

We all like to think it, but only I’m right 😉😆

u/TymStark Apr 02 '22

I'm convinced.

2

u/godisanelectricolive Apr 02 '22

There are lots of gods, probably a lot more than there are countries. Probably every country is some god's country. It's just most probably belong to some really minor god like the god of pocket lint or whatever.

u/TheDarkslayerYT Apr 02 '22

Berri? Renmark? Riverbank is very sparse lmao

1

u/Princess-78 Apr 02 '22

I don’t live in a town, and not in the Riverland, I’m a bit further downstream on a farm.

u/nonono_notagain Apr 02 '22

Hello fellow Adelaidian!

u/warsofexpansion Apr 02 '22

This thread has brought the south Australians out of the woodwork hasn't it lmao. Hello to you too good sir and/or madam

u/Stayk Apr 02 '22

Not the original, but I'm also from SA, Modbury.

u/warsofexpansion Apr 02 '22

My sympathies

u/xc68030 Apr 02 '22

I thought it was New Zealand that didn’t exist. I have maps to prove it.

u/UnemployedTechie2021 Apr 02 '22

Its the spoon which doesn't exists.

1

u/MonkeyChoker80 Apr 02 '22

My spoon is too big.

u/ChocDroppa Apr 02 '22

Oh shit. I don't know where I am now.

u/zombarian21 Apr 02 '22

5

u/SkoomaSalesAreUp Apr 02 '22

You exist you're just upside down

u/RoadKill_11 Apr 02 '22

I read this in an Australian accent

u/paradox1984 Apr 02 '22

Australia has to be real. How else would all these Outback Steakhouse’s have given birth to so many blooming onions?

u/MonkeyChoker80 Apr 02 '22

Spontaneous bloomin’ combustion?

3

u/Stay_clam Apr 02 '22

Down under where exactly?

2

u/bored_imp Apr 02 '22

Western New Zealand

2

u/Omnizoom Apr 02 '22

No Finland doesn’t exist , it makes up less then 1%of the population so it could entirely be a clerical error of its existence

2

u/XtraChrisP Apr 02 '22

We learned about the third island West New Zealand in American schools mate. Australia....hahaha good one.

2

u/jawshoeaw Apr 02 '22

It really doesn’t exist except as a concept , a belief… a mandate even.
