They should have a choir come out and sing mockingly every time a child falls in it.

Sorry to hear about your gravitas situation, times are tough for many of us 😆

It seems we were both standing quite far back in the queue when they were distributing the gravitas :(

Tourism is weird. I'm Australian and had no idea where the Cadbury factory is in Australia, now I do. Would I take my daughter to the Cadbury factory? Probably not, would I take her to the worlds largest chocolate fountain, where theres also a design your own chocolate bar studio, yeah I would.

I'm probably not going to Tasmania just for that, but if we went down for something else would I extend our trip for a day or two... yeah, I would.

I was so disappointed when they discontinued factory tours because people couldn't keep their fucking hands to themselves when walking past the chocolate machines.

Did they never watch or read Charlie and the Chocolate factory?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Even Charlie got up to no good at one point. Everyone thinks they're the Charlie and won't get in any serious trouble for their antics.

Of course it’s a Liberal politician. They couldn’t use that money on something to benefit the lives of the people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm still searching for a politician that does something for the benefit of people and not just tries to get rich themselves or are on a power trip.

Any kind of political authority is about to fail over time

In the US they’ve got Bernie.

Here in Aus, I’d say the Greens do that.

Well my life would improve with access to free melting chocolate. Just don't know how long I would live after eating from a public chocolate fountain

These are the kinds of election promises that gets you elected :)
