It’s so dark 😓
I almost want to turn the heater on for emotional support. But it’s 19 degrees inside so I will refrain. But it looks cold.
It really doesn’t help that I’ve just returned from 10 days in a tropical island resort. It’s like being plunged into winter all at once.
The dog is harassing me for food. He doesn’t understand daylight savings.
I’m a bit peckish myself. It’s steak night 🥩
i too bought steak, and frozen cheese mash from aldi
Much the same here, oven baked chips and a fancy salad. Do you use a BBQ for the steaks, or for anything much?
just salt and pepper on a frying pan
Just had my first porrdige of the season. yummy
Have made a report about last night’s yard screamer. The more I think about it the more it seems like a SA situation.
Can confirm, new Bluey is funny until it’s not
How so? What changed? I didn’t even realise there was a distinct “new Bluey”
new episode today, and a 28min episode next week
New episode released this morning. There’s another next week
tonight for dinner I am making tex chili
5pm rave choon.
7:30 and I’m ready for bed. Was awake at 6 tho.
I didn’t think DST was that big of a difference from real time
Movie Review.
This is my 3rd movie about tv weather guys. Ground Hog Day, The Weatherman and today’s movie, All Hail.
All Hail, from some of the team who brought you The Revenant and Bardo.
This movie has the same feel as Bardo. I admit I love this kind of cinematography, it uses familiar ways to set the scene, it’s feels up close and personal looking at actors without making you feel uncomfortable, it all feels natural and it’s so easy to let the story happen. Every actor is perfectly cast. Every set and location is just right.
It makes everyday life and our world look so beautiful .
Seems to me this team loves to use the elements to tell a story, fire, ice, water, air, earth. There is always an interaction between people and the elements that is part of the story.
It’s the story of a very well educated tv meteorologist who starts to believe the hype of his own forecasting record. It’s about pride. Not as bad as Bill Murray who brought a curse down upon himself by saying “I make the weather”. This guy, Miguel, brings a mild curse by saying “I guarantee it”.
So he fails, is condemned and he must find redemption and grace by getting back in touch with real people and his family, not just users and stans, and getting back in touch with nature.
I had to look up who Professor Neurus was. 🤔
4.5 hobbits. So easy to watch, that’s why I think watching twice would be a good idea.
Hello Melbourneians? Melbourneites? Person from almost the other side of the world here.
How come this community is so active on Lemmy? I haven’t seen any other city pop up on my feed as often as yours. You regularly get more than a hundred comments each day in these discussion threads.
Many of us are Reddit blackout immigrants.
Because we’re actually a cult and everyone’s welcome to join. Even you. Sign up with a picture of a pet. We’re open 24/7.
You can checkout but you can never leave…
It’s often 300+ on a Friday.
We’re coming at you from the future just now because daylight savings time ended overnight.It’s an active community because it’s an active community. Any community with 50+ daily commenters could be as active.
Because ithe internet is made of cats & boobs, and we have cute cats 😝
I have neither of these things. 😞
Poor deprived bubba
My cat is indeed cute. My boobs however, not so much.
We’re just that cool!
Really tho? I’d guess because of the dynamics of Australia, whereas else where people are more spread out we all live largely in 2-5 cities.
Melbourne is over 5 million people and the largest city in Australia. We can all gather and talk about the same place and things.
We also speak English so others internationally can engage more easily with our community.
Oh and both work, but we generally use Melbournians.
G’day! Melbournian is the most common term for us, although I’d usually drop the o to emphasise its Mel-burn and not mel-born (although it’s usually said Melb’n, but that’s a whole other story!)
My theory on why we’re so active: these daily threads were previously going on the melbourne subreddit for years, so when r/Melbourne went dark for the protests, there was a lot of oragnising to get people here. A few people came, and since everybody in the DT knows each other, they told everyone else and then everybody started moving over here. A few people refused to come, but enough people came, and enough others were forced to come when the sub vanished that we formed our own community.
If you want your mind blown even more - look at the thread from June 15th 2023. Over 600 comments on it! A few of those people went back to Reddit as soon as the subreddit reopened, but enough stayed that it didn’t just become a group of 3 people like a lot of other communities. Our other city communities like !Brisbane@aussie.zone sometimes have DTs too, but only get 5 or 10 comments, so that’s meant that our DT kind of ends up attracting people from all around australia since we’re so active and such awesome people (lol)
It’s actually a pretty even in terms of comments between us and r/Melbourne. Their thread is currently at 159 comments and ours is at 119 (this thread was actually posted 5 hours early)
Not sure if any of this actually answered your question, but the TL;DR is that these DTs were happening on Reddit for many years and the community split in 2 during the shit reddit pulled last year. Most of the long term active people moved here, although a couple stayed back on reddit.
We were a pretty active community back on Reddit,. especially during COVID.
Many of us migrated here last year during the Reddit boycott/fuckery.
We share random mundane shit and talk shit with each other.
Most of my posts are me being annoyed with me neighbours mowing their lawn twice a week or watering the same lawn when it’s raining.
Feel free to join us. You don’t have to live here to talk shit 😊
And most of my posts are really long rants about minor, mostly inconsequential shit
Cat photos and the job hunt from me.
I serve breakfast daily, as compensation for the end of donut (zero covid) days
Looking forward to the reunion for mafs, last few episodes have been a snore fest. Don’t think I’ll be watching future seasons though, been getting more and more obvious with the forced storylines by the producers and clear terrible matches.
Sometimes I read the mafs subreddit despite never having seen an episode.
It’s oddly entertaining.
I’m sure it makes me Officially Old but Extraordinary Escapes with Sandi Toksvig is one of my favourite tv shows. I would love to go on a gentle and beautiful holiday with Sandi.
I love that show and reckon Sandi would be excellent company. I also like having a stickybeak into all the houses
Omg it’s 7pm not 7am
Lol I used to have this am pm shift happening when I did rotating day/night shift. I’d wake up in a darkened room with an analogue clock and no idea whether it was say 2am or 2pm. Very disorientating!
Walk walked. Groceries shopped. New pair of fingerless gloves bought (merino+possum for extra coziness). Bluey watched. I think it’s time for a cuppa and to dig out the oodie
