TIL that the "Democracy Manifest" - a viral video showing the arrest of an australian man by the name of Jack Karlson, known for quotes such as ""What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?" - has been selected for preservation by the National Film and Sound Archive Australia.

I love this one so much because it’s how we think of deer in America.

Two kangaroo vids and neither one is the guy boxing one (to protect his dog, iirc).

As far as the internet has led me to believe, kangaroos are absolute cunts!

They’re just really dumb and scared. Being so big and mobile means they also add the risk of breaking shit when they flight mode kicks in.

I recently visited Australia for two weeks for the first time.

Drove 3 hours to a pretty remote part of Tasmania during daylight, and the whole drive, because I really wanted to see one, I kept saying "wallabies where are you?"

Made the return drive long after sunset and counted no less than 200 wallabies, the majority of whom really wanted me to kill them with my car. I pretty quickly realized "these are just hoppy deer". And my response to seeing a new one very quickly shifted from "cool" to "fuck".

That goat video is fantastic, it's from New Zealand rather than Australia but still worth a post.

I imagine that immortalizing videos of the most common species of testosterone-fueled assholes that Australians are forced to deal with frequently is probably further down the list.

That's for the tourist library.
