    You could tell me anything about Australia and I’d have little choice but to reflexively believe it. Oh they have a brand of children’s sandals called Flippy Floppy Cunts? Sure, whatever. There’s a shark with gorilla arms holding knives fashioned from goat bones and using them to mug surfers? Of course that’s a thing, no further investigation needed.

    Australia is the world’s marsupial pouch filled with equal parts mischief and nightmarish animal terrors.

      In Australia, kids wear thongs to the beach.

      In the US, kids root for sport.

      Swap the country of either statement, and it gets super creepy.

        i was in utah and there was a leader of one of their mormon congregations reminiscing about how nice it was to do at-home church and not have to come in. he talked about how nice it was lounging around with his kids with their thongs on. something something something ON OUR FEET THONGS ON OUR FEET.
