That is the wettest sounding bat I've ever heard. :')
In fairness Australia does actually have "bat rabies" so you should still be careful handling bats, but it's a lot more controllable than normal rabies (which we do not have). This person clearly knows what they're doing though.
Well when you are entirely surrounded by water, you have somewhat of an advantage in keeping out anything a migratory bird can't carry across the ocean. We don't have rabies because we don't let it in. Eventually some fucking arsehole who thinks he's more important than our entire country will dodge quarantine for an infected pet or something but so far we've kept it out. We were varroa mite free for a really long time too until somebody fucked that up.
He forgot he was a cat
Describing war to an American
No, wait, seriously. Wasn't there some real conflict where America was running ice cream to the men on the front lines, and it fucked with the morale of the other side, or even intimidated them by having a supply chain so robust it supplied luxuries?
WW2 Pacific theater, there was different ways of doing it.
Had the refrigerated barge for one,
then we had bomber ice cream.
And another
I remember reading accounts from German soldiers from WWII, on, "When did you know that Germany was going to lose?" One soldier recounted how he found a dead American soldier after D-Day, and went through his things, and saw that this enlisted man had coffee, chocolate, and cigarettes on him; in the German army, those were luxuries, only afforded to the officers. But if just your average American soldier had that...
I passed on including this in the ice cream bit, but it fits with that comment, which I remember reading at one point as well.
One documentary I watched had someone quoting Napoleon I think it was at one point, short version of the quite was something along the lines of.
'wars are won or lost through logistics'
Can't feed or arm the troops they might as well not be there,
Which reminds me of another German soldier's story: During D-Day, he was sent to spy on the American landing force, to see how many horses and veterinarians they had, to determine their logistical capabilities. Only to discover that the Americans had no horses or veterinarians; their entire army was mechanized. And that's when this particular soldier realized that Germany didn't have a chance.
There's a story of a German guard for a POW camp who knew that the war was lost whenever a POW's family sent him a whole cake with frosting to him.
Because of COURSE he did a video about this. And it's because of prohibition!
[simple video description: a person dances in a smooth, modern style while in a Double Dutch jump rope. Many times, their dance moves carry them over the rope without looking like they are leaving the ground, like sliding the feet up and over as the rope passes. The rope never catches on the dancer nor falters until they leave. A hip hop song, "King Kunta" by Kendrick Lamar, plays in the background. End VD.]

Found out about chargeback scams today.
Some guy wanted to donate $2800 to my paypal!
I was skeptical so I aimed him at my GoFundMe instead.
GoFundMe has protections to prevent people from finding any kind of personal information about you, and has protections from chargeback scammers.
Which I only found out because after he demanded I send him either a Cash App or a PayPal link instead of a gofundme, I did some googling and found out that scammers will do the following:
- They set their Cash App or PayPal primary form of payment to a stolen credit card
- They send you all the money on the card
- They change their Cash App or PayPal primary form of payment to their bank account
- They wait 1-20 days
- They do a charge-back and get a refund, pulling the money out of your account without warning
This is called a Chargeback Scam.
GoFundMe prevents this by only processing chargebacks to the payment info that the donation was made with, while Cash App and PayPal don't have that protection.
If someone wants to "Bless" your Cash App or PayPal with some random amount of money: That's the amount of money on the stolen credit card's checking account that they just stole.
Obviously nobody would say "No" to a random gigantic amount of money being donated to them no strings attached, right? That's how they getcha.
Be safe out there, everyone.
Scrolled past this agakn and just can't get over how much I love it. We need to make things beautiful again and this is such a wonderful example. The beadwork on the wires of a utitarian object, contrasted with the grey concrete.
