This isn’t trolling, it’s just the article author making up unfactual bs

The articles also unsourced and just sounds like bullshit

I’m also Australian and have never heard of such a tradition

I’m Australian and I’ve never heard of it

Going to need a fact check on this because this sounds like a situation where someone posts obvious bullshit and people believe it until someone who actually live in the country question it

Edit:

Just had a look at tje article and none of it has sources, mental floss just links to other articles on their sites with keywords

This article strongly smells of bullshit to the point that it’d start the black plague again with how much bullshit is just left lying around

When there’s a countdown in a movie where something must be done before it’s finished but the entire scene takes longer than the countdown.

Going to have to tell people what country you live in so they can help you because one countries laws and services are not the same as another.

So they skeet and yeet on your face.

I had heard of that but didn’t know the name and forgot about it

Becase some devices require a signal on their comm pins to negotiate the correct voltage to charge the device.

Whats weird is that my usb c wall powered hub will charge devices on its own if I plug it into a computer (or sometimes an android phone) first and then unplug it and plug it into the device I want to charge

This feels like a bot post with AstroTurf comments

Just going to comment this here for anyone else who’s reading this and has a pet

LEMMY USERS ARE NOT MEDICAL EXPERTS AND ARE NOT VETINERIANS AND EVEN IF THEY CLAIM TO BE A MEDICAL EXPERT AND / OR A VETINERIAN YOU CANNOT VERIFY THEIR CLAIM

TALK TO AN ACTUAL VET / MEDICAL EXPERT

This comment may feel useless but I feel much better commenting it rather than someone potentially taking on dangerous advice and potentially harming their pet

Just replying to say to make sure you ask and confirm with a vet because random lemmy users are not medical experts and you could kill your cat

If you did that in my town you’d be on the local crime watch group and be called a drug addict and have your local image tarnished

That took a second to sink in how bad this would be

Yes, I have a friend who is extremely progressive but is still very much a slut shamer. She really looks down with disgust on women who like sex or have more boyfriends than she deems acceptable.

I had forgotten about this kind of problem and I absolutely hate it

It reminds me of progressive people who want to ban anything lewd or sexual because it’s a “problem”

Or shaming women and LGBTQ+ people for liking sexual or lewd things and claiming it harms them, have these people even browsed the internet because there’s a whole culture of women and LGBTQ+ people liking lewd and sexual stuff and even creating it

I’ve even seen some progressive people shame LGBTQ+ and female creators of lewd and sexual content because it’s “harmful”

It’s not just men who like and create lewd and sexual stuff

I’ve disagreed with the whole fuck cars movement because it introduces more problems that are absolutely not worth having and they are ignorant of a lot of things

I’m also introverted and autistic and I like having my alone space when I need it, I don’t hate interacting with people but I only like interacting with people when I feel like it

Cars allow for that alone time where I can he alone when I want to and getting rid of cars and having to be forced to ride public transport would make that worser

Please do not co-opt my post, this has nothing to do with veganism qnd if your the type who thinks I should be dead for eating meat them you can kindly get off my post

I’m left-wing, progressive and I eat meat

I hate that writing this comment made me think of jar jar binks from star wars

Jargasm

I’ve had a private message from a user who’s a starting with ‘v and ending with n’ and that’s all I say because if I say the full word I know some angry Internet people are going to show up

They responded with that passive aggressive question tone

I’ve also run into some lemmy users that spread misinformation about Japan to discredit it which reads like foreign actors intentionally spreading disinformation to discredit a country and its people, the sake kind of misinformation about Japan is much worser on reddit but its not a good thing that it has started to show up here
