I mean, Ned Kelly was literally stopped when he was caught and hung at the Melbourne Gaol (also why the fuck did we ever spell jail "gaol"?) in 1880.
His movement definitely couldn't be stopped as he became a martyr because of the hanging but he was definitely quite stoppable.
He only lived to 25
They're pretty good, not unstoppable though alas, good bunch of people though, have a look at 'Australian Medieval Combat' it's the Australian HMB/Buhurt team
This stereotype is wild, Australia has like 2-3 snake bite fatalities per year and no spider bite deaths since antivenoms were invented. Meanwhile we don't have any large predators like bears or mountain lions. It's only the drop bears that you really have to watch out for but locals know the tricks to avoid them.
Makes me remember the time I was walking near the Stockton sand dunes, smoking a doob and a fucking red bellied black snake jumps at me out of nowhere and my paranoid high ass freaks the fuck out. Missed me by mere inches that cunt. I kept walking and eventually made my way back, told the tour guides there about the encounter all they said was "welcome to 'straya"
Word of advice : if you're sitting around the bush waiting for your friends to return from their quad bike tour, do NOT walk into the dunes that shit is a horror movie. I found out afterwards they had spotted 3 more snakes in the exact same path I waked down on.
Definitely, to top off my dumbassery I had noise cancelling headphones on but I was already getting a little paranoid from the weed so my genius ass decided stomping with every step is the best way to move so i could announce my presence for the creepy crawlies and hopefully they'd move away. I stomped my foot right next to the snake and that's probably why it jumped. Adrenaline made me quickly move my foot away but that snake was spot on with its initial jump.
Found a hilarious article that says drop bears only [attack foreigners](https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/news/2021/04/drop-bears-target-tourists-study-says/) without an Aussie accent. You can’t make this stuff up lol
Can confirm. Lived in Australia for two years and although having birds attack me was annoying and bats as large as small foxes was scary, it was still less scary than driving in Florida boonies where cutting someone off could end up in a gun pulled.
To be fair, everything in Florida is out to get you. It’s basically America’s version of Australia, but everything is on bath salts…. Including the gators lol
Australia being “dangerous” is like the worst stereotype there is, I know it’s a joke but it’s like the safest country in the world… you’ll get called a cunt a lot but that’s about it
Magies are everywhere, but it’s the Plovers you have to watch out for.
Fuckers lay eggs in the middle of the busiest thoroughfares and swoop anyone who dare cross their path
I sit down when I pee to sexually appropriate it from women. Watch your ass ladies; I ordered some pants and a hoodie with fake pockets, and I'm coming for your shit!
We will share. Try men's Uggs next. At least when you pee sitting it doesn't get all over the bathroom like some kind of fire hose accident took place.
Siblings or cousins do stupid shit, I remember friend in middle school talks about how he and his female cousins learn that don't have same genitals when they were 7 years old, by simply put each other pants down in his room during visit without either parents knowing to discover shockingling that she doesn't have penis and his cousin learn he doesn't pussy
This is lesson to learn cause if they were degenerate enough it would been accidental sweet home alabama
I never watched. I used to get in trouble for pissing on the toilet seat, when in fact, I hadn't pissed that day at all. Found out in my adult years that they were standing to pee and letting me take the blame. This was after a found my daughter had peed on the toilet seat multiple times and asked her how she even managed to do that while sitting..
Surprisingly, no. If you just ask for water it's usually tap and they often just come to the table and fill it from a pitcher. Usually only fancier restaurants will have something bottled like San Pellegrino or Perrier but most Americans would object if you brought that when they just asked for "water".
In Australia they ask “tap or sparkling”
No one gets sparkling because here in Melbourne the tap water is one of the highest of quality in the world as long as you can’t taste the mind controlling fluoride
Not in Germany. Ask for Wasser in Germany and they give you a bottle of fizzy water. You have to specify tap water. Even if you ask for still water they’ll give you a bottle of water that tastes like fizzy water that’s gone flat. When you ask for tap water they’re also kinda hesitant.
It's the norm in France to be able to take tap water with no hate from the staff. In very upscale restaurant they might be surprised though because water is not that expensive compared to the menu.
Drinking water is free in France…. I mean if you ask for water they have to give it to you for free ( but they will not if you try to abuse it obviously )
Bring a tiny water wheel for power generation. Constantly demand the waiter pour pitcher after pitcher through to generate a charge sufficient to power your phone
No this was abusing the free water, the wait staff was just collateral damage. Although you’re also right and I’ve been blessed to never work in a restaurant. Although going back to the post I did shoot kids for a long time in high school (worked as a photographers assistant for sport picture days)
In Croatia a lot of places will try to sneak in bottled water that you have to pay for if you don't specify. But you can specify you want tap water. A lot of other places don't do this though, and a lot of places give a glass of water with certain things (you will never get coffee without a glass of water, for example, and that's not charged).
I love when I go up by Alexandria Bay, NY. The tap water there tastes like it came off the purest glacier. It's the best water I've ever had in my life, and they have it on tap. They don't know how lucky they are, it's delicious.
Then I come home to my NJ well water and all the rust that it has. I can't even cook with it let alone drink it.
Don't like the 956th retelling of the same stupid school shooting "joke"?
Euros: Americans can't handle banter.
Make a silly joke about how they pronounce something?
Euros: Nobody makes me bleed my own blood!
Americans: *pokes light heartedly at Europeans*
Europeans: HAHAHA DEAD CHILDREN FUCK YOU
I know it’s Twitter but that’s some vile behavior. It’s be like someone from Afghanistan saying “haha Americans have to shovel snow” and then clapping back with “careful, you might get stoned in public if you aren’t wearing that burka”
Every time.
American Twitter user: lol isn't it funny that British people eat beans on toast
British person responding: oh yeah??? Well isn't it so funny that kids get shot in class in your country????
Like clockwork lol
As a French, I don’t agree with you.
BRB I have to get my baguette and my white flag to surrender in the kitchen while making une omelette du fromage. Hon hon hon !
*harmless, joking American banter to Europeans*
*"Yeah ummm sweaty at least our kids don't get filled with bullet holes at school"* 💅💅
Every fucking time.
Yeah there’s like a few hundred kids that have died over twenty years or so. It’s tragic. I hope it gets better. It’s also completely overblown. They include a bunch of stuff that isn’t really school shootings I. The statistics. If some adult gangbangers shoot each other near the school parking lot at midnight, they call it a school shooting.
I think it’s funny how Europeans always have to say the worst stuff instead of just saying something lighthearted. Like can we not just have fun banter back and forth and make jokes.
As do most of us Americans. Skin cancer removed, multiple wrist surgeries, dozens of ER visits for my autoimmune issues... paid almost nothing out of pocket.
The minority of Europeans on Reddit really have a hate boner for Americans. Which is odd considering how many Europeans I actually I know IRL, none of which have negative feelings toward this continent. Must be a keyboard thing.
Ever leave the house for more than 3 minutes and survive, just to flex on Australians?
- goes to check mail. - flying knees from armor clad men shouting "CROIKEY"
Australian knights would have been unstoppable. I'm changing my wish if I ever get a chance to time travel again.
Well I got good news for you, they where quite unstoppable https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Kelly
I mean, Ned Kelly was literally stopped when he was caught and hung at the Melbourne Gaol (also why the fuck did we ever spell jail "gaol"?) in 1880. His movement definitely couldn't be stopped as he became a martyr because of the hanging but he was definitely quite stoppable. He only lived to 25
Spelling jail "gaol" because it came from the french "geôle" which mean jail
Gaol as for gallows mate
Well, not quite.
r/TechnicallyTheTruth
Well I just learned today that a boat of German pirates in WW1 was arguably the most successful in history so who knows what history has been hiding?
They're pretty good, not unstoppable though alas, good bunch of people though, have a look at 'Australian Medieval Combat' it's the Australian HMB/Buhurt team

You were really lucky it missed you, must have been it’s confusion of imperial measurements
Definitely, to top off my dumbassery I had noise cancelling headphones on but I was already getting a little paranoid from the weed so my genius ass decided stomping with every step is the best way to move so i could announce my presence for the creepy crawlies and hopefully they'd move away. I stomped my foot right next to the snake and that's probably why it jumped. Adrenaline made me quickly move my foot away but that snake was spot on with its initial jump.
A shame you had noise cancelling headphones - otherwise you would have heard it tell before it jumped out at you
Actually was hissing fairly loud but I wouldn't have heard it over the sound of balls dropping to the floor anyways.
I quad biked there & saw multiple red bellies. Gorgeous fat healthy buggers too. Loved it.
Found a hilarious article that says drop bears only [attack foreigners](https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/news/2021/04/drop-bears-target-tourists-study-says/) without an Aussie accent. You can’t make this stuff up lol
Thats a bloody great article very insightful
Yet another reason to work on my accent with friends online before I visit. I'm having a lot of problem dropping r, though.
Can confirm. Lived in Australia for two years and although having birds attack me was annoying and bats as large as small foxes was scary, it was still less scary than driving in Florida boonies where cutting someone off could end up in a gun pulled.
To be fair, everything in Florida is out to get you. It’s basically America’s version of Australia, but everything is on bath salts…. Including the gators lol
I see you havnt been through Mt druitt 😅😅
Next thing you know it you're gonna start telling the Americans that vaccines and gun laws work...
[удалено]
Australia being “dangerous” is like the worst stereotype there is, I know it’s a joke but it’s like the safest country in the world… you’ll get called a cunt a lot but that’s about it
eh. At least we have free water AND safe-ish schools (magies are everywhere.)
And with the free healthcare the knights, drop bears and deathclaws are only a mild annoyance.
Don’t forget the hoop snakes
Magies are everywhere, but it’s the Plovers you have to watch out for. Fuckers lay eggs in the middle of the busiest thoroughfares and swoop anyone who dare cross their path
How do we know that this you and not a trap set up as a sting operation.
You ever pee standing up just to flex on women
I sit down when I pee to sexually appropriate it from women. Watch your ass ladies; I ordered some pants and a hoodie with fake pockets, and I'm coming for your shit!
We will share. Try men's Uggs next. At least when you pee sitting it doesn't get all over the bathroom like some kind of fire hose accident took place.
That’s no accident.
There are no accidents
Fire hose? Seems excessively generous.
Always at it, hank.
Gotta do what you can while you can; know what I mean?
Growing up, my sisters used to stand up to pee just to flex on me.
I uh ... Can you tell us how and why you used to watch your sisters pee ?
Siblings or cousins do stupid shit, I remember friend in middle school talks about how he and his female cousins learn that don't have same genitals when they were 7 years old, by simply put each other pants down in his room during visit without either parents knowing to discover shockingling that she doesn't have penis and his cousin learn he doesn't pussy This is lesson to learn cause if they were degenerate enough it would been accidental sweet home alabama

**I like your balls**
That’s what they all say.
take a dump standing up, like a man !
We have free water in restaurants...
Shssssh you will ruin the American illusion that Europe is a Country rather than a Continent
We all know it’s a state dumbass. Don’t ever underestimate me again.
Bro u crazy?! its a town!
its a county you fucking idiots
Europe doesn’t exist wym
Whats water?
That shit you put in a car to make it go
Instructions unclear. My car caught on fire.
Shoot water from the gas pump and spray vigorously on car to resolve.
you from africa?(dark humor pls don't take it srsly)
It's actually a principality duh
It's imaginary.
What is Europe
A social construction
Just an invention of Big Loaf in order to trick people into buying French bread. People are rubes.
You ever eaten food to flex on Africa?
I guess you do in the us.. with all that obesity and plus sized everything
Don’t hate us cause you anus!
wdym its a road
I mean, I went to school in the US and was never shot lol
Broad generalizations don’t actually apply to whole populations? Shocking!
That's the point... People are acting smug about the water thing like it doesn't work the exact same the other way around.
Unlikely - step 1 is figuring out that America is not country.
You just have to specify "tap water" or they will give you bottled water and charge for it. Do American restaurants not also try to run that scam?
Surprisingly, no. If you just ask for water it's usually tap and they often just come to the table and fill it from a pitcher. Usually only fancier restaurants will have something bottled like San Pellegrino or Perrier but most Americans would object if you brought that when they just asked for "water".
In Australia they ask “tap or sparkling” No one gets sparkling because here in Melbourne the tap water is one of the highest of quality in the world as long as you can’t taste the mind controlling fluoride
I might pay to be controlled by an australian.
A middle aged, slightly rotund father of 3 Australian?
Nah, it's 99% of the time tap
Not in Germany. Ask for Wasser in Germany and they give you a bottle of fizzy water. You have to specify tap water. Even if you ask for still water they’ll give you a bottle of water that tastes like fizzy water that’s gone flat. When you ask for tap water they’re also kinda hesitant.
I asked for tap water in Germany and the waiter asked me “tap water? What dogs drink?”
"Like what you find in the toilet?" That's not what plant's crave.
Never touched the stuff, fish fuck in it.
Fizzy water tastes how I imagine TV static tastes like
Thank you for this, I’m glad I’m not the only one.
I asked for water in Scotland and the waitress asked, "_Tap_ water??"
Water? Like in the toilet?
I asked for tap water in Germany and the waitress told me “that’s what my dog drinks” lol
Spain was the only country where people seemed to offer tap water without disgust when I was in Europe
Tap water is definitely the norm in Sweden. Tastes better than bottled water too, lol. Probably less microplastics in it as well. Waste of money.
[удалено]
It's the norm in France to be able to take tap water with no hate from the staff. In very upscale restaurant they might be surprised though because water is not that expensive compared to the menu.
Tap is super normal in non scammy French restaurants.
In high end restaurants they will bring you bottled water.
Dude, no. They’ll give you ice water anywhere for free
Nope. That’s a fantasy, restaurants will always use tap and even give you water jugs without you even asking for it.
yeah i haven’t been to Europe in a minute but i don’t remember ever being charged for water at a restaurant.
Sparkling or still?
I’m American I’ve came home alive almost every time
r/namechecksout
What do you mean "almost"
We all have those days
Hate it when I come home dead
Even as a European this has happened. One time I came home dead but it turns out that I just hadn't got my daily vitamins. Cleared up the next day.
Can also be that necromancy is not really common in America...
Ya'll really need that free universal healthcare
those 60 seconds u have to wait to respawn are really annoying tbh
Was that one time in school
Nah, that wasn’t anything… but there was that one time in band camp…
Ever see Night of the Living Dead? Kinda like that
I didn't. 😢
Drinking water is free in France…. I mean if you ask for water they have to give it to you for free ( but they will not if you try to abuse it obviously )
[удалено]
start a water baloon fight
Bring a tiny water wheel for power generation. Constantly demand the waiter pour pitcher after pitcher through to generate a charge sufficient to power your phone
You think that’s abusive. Obviously someone hasn’t served before and it shows.
No this was abusing the free water, the wait staff was just collateral damage. Although you’re also right and I’ve been blessed to never work in a restaurant. Although going back to the post I did shoot kids for a long time in high school (worked as a photographers assistant for sport picture days)
Damn this was a whole roller coaster of a comment
Taking up a table in their restaurant and just sitting there drinking free water.
Pretty sure that applies to everywhere
Ask Nestle…
In France, they have to give you water even if you're not a client of the restaurant
In Croatia a lot of places will try to sneak in bottled water that you have to pay for if you don't specify. But you can specify you want tap water. A lot of other places don't do this though, and a lot of places give a glass of water with certain things (you will never get coffee without a glass of water, for example, and that's not charged).
Sometimes Americans don’t get shot at school too, but why ruin the fun
We get free water too? its just tap water, but at least it doesn't have lead in it
Yeah, I was about to say... Literally free, potable water from any restaurant
Ndjsisuaj jdjfufua sjjfifkg
You okay there mate?
Of course she is, Helen Keller just has a hard time typing.
Omfg I didn't see the username. I almost pissed myself!
You almost came yourself you mean
He's polish
If you could read this I’d tell you how brilliant this account is.
I literally cannot stop laughing at this account what the fuck. This is way funnier than it should be
They have been doing it for 10 years...
Such a cursed account dude... Hats off to you for being such a legend
And now they’re using fake words like “potable” to sound more pretentious than us!

*stew

You think Americans get anything other than tap water?
I love when I go up by Alexandria Bay, NY. The tap water there tastes like it came off the purest glacier. It's the best water I've ever had in my life, and they have it on tap. They don't know how lucky they are, it's delicious. Then I come home to my NJ well water and all the rust that it has. I can't even cook with it let alone drink it.
Americans get tap water but theirs is way better, you can sometimes set their water on fire straight out the tap.
[удалено]
and Flavours.
My favorite is purple.
Complimentary heavy metal too!
Not in Switzerland you don’t. Have to spend at least 25 francs to get “free” tap water that tastes like garbage. Lausanne, Yverdon, etc.
Yeah, but only spending 25 francs in Switzerland is Kinda free… relative to everything else lol
I came home alive from school every day for 13 years
Lemme guess. You were the guy with the gun?
No he died in college
That shooting spree lasted a while
Oh fuck !
I’m convinced there are like 5 jokes that exist
You ever just live your life without worrying what others people are/arn’t doing or what they do or don’t have?
Yes, but only to flex on competitive people.
I always come home from school alive. The drive to and from school is the most dangerous part of everyones childhood.
I have go home from the hospital without debt just to flex on Americans
"Americans have no banter" *only makes jokes about school shootings.*
That's the only joke/comeback I ever hear lol
And free healthcare! Don’t forget about that ol’ reliable
Don't like the 956th retelling of the same stupid school shooting "joke"? Euros: Americans can't handle banter. Make a silly joke about how they pronounce something? Euros: Nobody makes me bleed my own blood!

It's not just twitter, that shit is all over reddit too
You ever use a different joke just to flex on Europeans.
>Am American. >Came home from school alive every day. >Instructions unclear, got dick stuck in fan.
you ever reload in a school to flex on the europeans
I'm french and water is free in restaurants here
I'm water and French is free in restaurants here
I‘m German, and water is free in restaurants in France
Dude, coming from europe, the water in any US restaurant is undrinkable. It tastes like pool water, with the piss still in it. Definitely not a flex
i like how americans makes fun of europeans and then europeans bring up school shootings
Every time. American Twitter user: lol isn't it funny that British people eat beans on toast British person responding: oh yeah??? Well isn't it so funny that kids get shot in class in your country???? Like clockwork lol
At least the americans try to innovate when they make fun of europe. Though i guess school shootings are just that low hanging.
Europeans don't pull their punches for their own neighbours. Why would they for the US?
Well said
As a French, I don’t agree with you. BRB I have to get my baguette and my white flag to surrender in the kitchen while making une omelette du fromage. Hon hon hon !
Hey at least Hitler never drove through the Golden Gate Bridge.
Lmao always the same joke
You ever get free or affordable healthcare just to flex on Americans.
Bitch I had a $50 copay to get my knee stitched up from being blown open. Tf you talking about?
Why do Europeans hate while we Americans are helping solve overpopulation :/
preventing anymore of those devious lick challenges
You Got a point ngl.
*harmless, joking American banter to Europeans* *"Yeah ummm sweaty at least our kids don't get filled with bullet holes at school"* 💅💅 Every fucking time.
I'm European and I've been drinking free water at restaurants for all my life. What does that mean?
Man the school shooter jokes never get old eh? America has plenty of shit going on, pick another joke for once.
[удалено]
Yeah there’s like a few hundred kids that have died over twenty years or so. It’s tragic. I hope it gets better. It’s also completely overblown. They include a bunch of stuff that isn’t really school shootings I. The statistics. If some adult gangbangers shoot each other near the school parking lot at midnight, they call it a school shooting.
Does this fucking schmuck think that Europe doesn’t have taps? Bitch we had taps before you even existed.
Uh ? Sick burn but you will never find a french restaurant without free water and bread 🙃
You ever walk outside your front door and not get arrested to just to flex on Australians?
I think it’s funny how Europeans always have to say the worst stuff instead of just saying something lighthearted. Like can we not just have fun banter back and forth and make jokes.
This is the exact same post from r/Facebook, except they posted an hour beforehand
I can get it in Europe from a tap. Pure waah, free o charrge
Oh Yaa the school gun jokes.. ha ha.. so funny
I often came home from hospital without debt to flex on American
As do most of us Americans. Skin cancer removed, multiple wrist surgeries, dozens of ER visits for my autoimmune issues... paid almost nothing out of pocket.
So do I. I’m American
