if there's one thing that justifies Australia being in Eurovision it's that Australians somehow had to know who the fuck Schnappi das kleine Krokodil is

Schnappi's single, Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil peaked at #6 in the Australian charts in 2005, rubbing shoulders with greats like Gorillaz, Destiny's Child, The Black Eyed Peas and Crazy Frog

I don't know about other dialects, but I am aware of a peculiar difference between American and British English: in American English, "chips" are the thin things and the long things are called "fries," whereas in British English, "chips" are the long things and the thin things are called "crisps." To generalize this law into a theory, I propose a Processed Potato Snack Continuum, along which the two dialects are shifted by one unit relative to each other...

Dialect	"Fries"	"Chips"	"Crisps"
American English			Unknown A
British English	Unknown B

Our new theory of Processed Potato Snack Verbiage allows us to ask and investigate some quite fascinating questions. To start, what goes in the Unknown cells of that table? In other words: what would the Americans call a "crisp," and what would the British call a "fry?"

Discuss in the comments if you want to. I'm going to bed. I think hash browns or tater tots might fit into this somehow. Fundamentally, this is a question of what change to the food moving in a direction on the Continuum represents.

Do you recognise this game? Were you a bit too online in Perth in 2009?

you may be entitled to compensation I want to know what you know!

this Source mod, Spragoon George's Slazenger, or the Folly of Man: Transcendence of the Goonrift, is a heady mix of online culture of its day (for better and, in many cases, worse), featuring memes, a gun that swears, some stolen content, and a very particular bus stop bench and thereupon advertised realtor, among other hyperlocal content from Perth, Western Australia

unfortunately this mod's site has rotted from the web, and the creators were pretty coy about who they were

if you have any context on the production or context of this mod please reach out, I honestly think this mod needs a deep dive and I don't see anyone else doing it, so…

last week my home AFL team managed the equal fourth largest margin loss in AFL history, and the biggest since Geelong lost to Melbourne in 2011, and it's at times like these I wish Australia had a Jon Bois

this ABC article kind of dips its toes in but it's not quite there

2023's Eagles also appear twice in the top 100 games in this list, which certainly is… something
