Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Spotify wrapped is out and there is no surprise that Closing Time is our #1 song followed by Dreadlock Holiday.
My Apple rewind or whatever it’s called is completely wrong and I’m disappointed
My wife has brutalized mine. Who the hell is Stone Sour. Still, blink182 came out on top so its deffo right. I think this is the first year Glass Animals - Heatwaves isnt in the top 10
Stone sour were my #3! Is your wife okay!? Seriously, they’re my ‘everything is wrong so I must listen to music that understands’ band.
Hahaha. I don’t know who Stone Sour is but Blink 182 seriously mate.
Just discovered this - upload an audio file and search for the animal/bird/reptile that is closest to it. A20 Acoustic observatory Full article on abc Could be a lot of fun when going bush/hiking.
There’s also BirdNET from Cornell University. Need to have data connection though. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tu_chemnitz.mi.kahst.birdnet
Edit. Seems this might be the old version of the Merlin app.
What do people do for lunches? I’m having one of those days where I want something but I don’t know what. Stare in the fridge, stare in the pantry, decide I don’t want anything but know I’ll end up eating too many biscuits because I’m hungry. And I know it makes no sense to stare in the fridge and pantry, because I know exactly what’s in there because I did the shopping!
Soup and a sandwich. Both can be minimal - eg cupasoup and peanut butter. If you want to get fancy put a couple of slices of bacon in the peanut butter sammo.
Eggs. Scrambled, omelette, sunnyside up on toast.
Today I air fried a few dim sims and made a ketchup/aioli mixture dipping sauce
In the office today so it’s a sandwich (pickle and lactose free cheese),some fruit, a little cucumber and cherry tomato mix, and a little jelly cup.
Fry up some mushrooms, onions and sausages (or your choice of protein). Add eggs, mix vigourously. Put into warm tortillas and wrap them up.
Have a pickle/salad/sauerkraut on the side.
10 minutes from fridge to plate.
This moment is the closest we may have ever been to legalising cannabis in Victoria.
If you think it’s reasonable and fair enough that we do, now would be the time to email Jacinta Allan.

Looks like the red christmas bows are slowly being rolled out in my area.
So I declare today… hot take thursday
Those bows are stupid.
And another hot take…
Anyone who get a fade hairdooo are secretly trying to make their head appear less big.
What you got against bows?
Also as someone with a huge melon we will do whatever it takes. Don’t head shame us big-brainers!
Truthfully nothing really.
But fades are a conspiracy by the AHC to keep you going back every 2 weeks.
I’ll vote for you. Where do I learn more about your policies?
Also, I hope today hasn’t hurt as much as you thought it might.
Next thurs. I’ll be updating my banal policy platform.
But yea… I really put my foot in it yesterday family stuff. I will update that too once the storm passes.
Banal for bottom being anal!
I thought it might be family stuff :( wishing you strength, definitely hits differently, difficult conversations can be particularly draining
Surprisingly, I really enjoyed this year’s Spotify Wrapped. It’s so far out of the genres I usually listen to, it included podcasts and I’m surprised I was in the top 3% listeners worldwide (contextually it’s a bit ambiguous, it might have meant when I peaked in June).

been watching videos on narcissism 😔😟😭 every single emotion and thought and insecurity I have has now been pathologised
Friendo, while you might have picked up some maladaptive behaviours (maybe) an actual narcissist wouldn’t care.
It would just be everyone else that was wrong and no need to self reflect.
I have a two week cough (and counting). No signs of letting up, my voice is destroyed. The only good part of this is the cough medicine I got prescribed. It’s delicious and makes me feel woozy.
I had one of these when I was 20 and they gave me liquid codeine. That tasted awful though but forced me to go ni nighs. Not just a gentle “hey, wanna go to sleep?” but more like a “haha sleep time, idiot”. Magic stuff.
Ooooh, I gotta get me some of that

sleep and drink a lot of water
Okay okay I’m playing Hot Take Thursday too.
I think trams are inefficient… they are so inflexible with rerouting, you can’t have express services, they can get majorly delayed by traffic, and because they can’t overtake, if one breaks down a whole lot get stuffed, and I still think it’s wild you often have to walk into the road to get on/off trams. And new routes are next to impossible to establish these days. I think people defend trams for the romantic charm but I think they are increasingly impractical for a city this size. Would rather see electric buses with bus lanes or fully separated light rail, not this worst of both worlds kind of thing.
🔥 🚒
This is a good hot take I like this.
Aggressively dings at you

Trams are garbage. They manage to be both shit trains AND shit busses.
Reminder that no matter how much marketing and weird hype there is from McDonald’s and Americans… the McRib is garbage and they only bring it out once every now and then to capture the curiosity of those who fall for the hype.
They should name it the McRip
Hot take thursday
I’m here for it.
Saying McDonald’s food is garbage is not really a Hot take is it ?
Not a fan of regular ribs, I don’t think I’d ever voluntarily consume simulated ribs.
I do like their simulated chicken though.
You know when you go to Aldi and discover something so you go back and buy 8 packets because you know they’re gonna disappear. I present to you macadamia lamington balls
👁️❤️🎾🏀⚽️
I wish ALDI delivered
I was just thinking that
I had to google what Hot Take means and I want in too. I just gotta think of something. Brb
Today I made 108 large lasagnas. I discovered a little hard lump in my hand, right where my rude finger joins on the palm side. You can move it around a bit, it’s kinda freaky. Doesn’t hurt too much but I’ll swing by a Dr next week and get it checked out.
You and Raven trying to out bulk-Italian food each other? 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌
Given Raven is doing it as a home cook and I’m doing it in a factory setting, I declare Raven the winner. Doing that kind of thing at home is truly impressive.
😮
Today will hurt for me.
but for the rest of us may it be kind.
You okay mate, or have you just eaten too many chillis?
Please shout if you need some support ❤️
hugs
