    I don’t get how Americans are more scared of Australia’s animals when they have goddamn bears! You can get an antidote for a spider or snake bite, you can’t get an antidote for a bear bite.

      In my defense, stranger, I’ve never even seen a bear. And, idk, they’re kinda cute. In theory, lol.

      Most Americans and Europeans don’t ever see a bear in their entire lives, but in Australia there possibility of snake bite your butt while you shitting and there is times when spiders are everywhere

        European transplanted in Australia. Spend time in the outdoors and occasionaencounter snakes most if them hate humans, make some noise before taking that shit (and during) and they will stay away. Easiest way to get bitten is to catch one by surprise and stop on it.

        A hungry bear on the other hand…

      They also have coyotes that wander into towns, an animal that’s bigger than a large SUV aka the moose.

      I live in a country town and I saw a fox walking around for the first time in my life and he looked as confused as to why he was there as was.

      Every time I watch Alone or other shows I am so glad I live in Oz. I can go camping and not get stomped/mauled in my sleep by a huge mammal! You can deal with spiders and snakes no problem, particularly in your sleep but a hungry bear or a wolf? That would put me off sleeping outdoors

    The big ones are fine. The little ones kill you. That one is super fine - probably let’s you pat his belly 👍

    Yeah, sometimes I think those people will probably be the only ones left alive on the planet after a nuclear war… plus no one will drop anything there… most probably…

      They’ve already for drop bears, so hopefully not…

      These days they’re all laced with chlamydia, too, so it doubles as germ warfare

        Koalas carry chlamydia. Tasmanian tigers have face cancer. Drop bears give you super aids, but it doesn’t matter because they have already killed you by the time you are having sex.

    Huntsman spiders are disgustingly large. Thanks for the reminder to never step foot into Australia.

      They’re the friendliest ones.

      I have stopped and set fire to three redback nests this week, but there’s a huntsman happily living in my garage right now who isn’t going to harm anyone.

        I have let huntsman live in my house all my time in Oz! Only rules of engagement are not in the bedroom and stay high up on the wall/ceiling (they do that anyway). I’ve shared my living room with some of them for months at a time, they love watching movie with us.

        Now we have infants around. Unfortunately when found inside they get humanly captured and released in the backyard.

    I propose changing the O in jost to jast.

    I reckon that’s closer to how we talk.
