    I’m utterly convinced that Australian slang is derived from being a relatively recent prison colony, like it’s not comparable to anything other than prison or street slang.

    Also for some reason my autocorrect wanted to turn colony into colon loop.

      This is what happens when you conquer half the world and forget to tend to them.

      You end up with cunts and people eating giant mutant grass called “corn”.

      Also, today I discovered that we didn’t know how to cultivate sweet corn until 1779. Multiple Native American tribes independently discovered how to do so a long time before then. It literally took us three hundred years to finally sit down and ask them.
