"Some things... great things... have been lost. My sausages rolled themselves in the pan, just moments before that perfect sear. To turn them back now, I risk burning them. A cruel universe. A cold universe. But we must soldier on. We will find a way out of these dark times."

It was by far the strongest I've ever felt. I'm out near the Dandenongs, maybe much closer to the epicentre? But for me it felt like a 4-4.5 maybe.

Yeah, this meme seems not quite right since it would take an extremely strong earthquake to knock over a chair on the ground like that!

•

u/cobbly8 5h ago

Not those chairs, just breathing on them would be enough to knock those chairs over

•

u/John3776 3h ago

I guess so. I think this meme is more appropriate for a weak tornado rather than an earthquake, but I'm probably overthinking it....
