@james_xond Well, apart from actual physical activities, we TALKED on the phone, the rotary or pushbutton phone. Every night during my high school years, I talked to either a girlfriend, or my best friend, Jerry, for 2 to 4 hours. Every night. And I remember it as time well spent.

People who were teenagers before social media existed, how did you survive being bored without scrolling on your phone for hours?

@Kristinartz My daughter is Madelaine, my grandmother was Marjorie and my great grandmother was Margaret. They all ended up getting the same nickname from their friends: Madge

I'm looking for a ridiculously old girl's name. Think great grandmother type of name. Very old and

@DaizyZeeX @Ravenismeee I do that and generally remember everything on it. If I miss something I say "they didn't have any"

@Ravenismeee Yesterday scribbled a grocery list, forgot it at home like always

Be honest… when was the last time you wrote something with a pen on paper ??

@Leonie31522242 @robynbryant33 I was born in 1956. My dad was a very keen competition rifle shooter so I spent most Saturdays on Anzac Rifle Range at what is now Wattle Grove.The club houses were in those old nissan huts

@robynbryant33 I was in the second intake in the new Liverpool Girls’ High in 1955.My classmates were mostly European migrants, some from the nearby Nissan Hut accommodation they’d been given as refugees.Those girls were high achievers and came to school in National dress.

I taught in a very multi cultural school. At one point I was in charge of making all the scenery and props for the school concert. I had 18 large backgrounds to undercoat, 50 boomerangs and countless other things. I sent a note out to the parents to say I’d be at school at 9 am

@james_xond Maybe 11. It was a.22 rifle. My dad was a competition shooter most of his life in the oldest sports club in Australia so I practically grew up on a range

I’ll ask again because I’m trying to prove a point: How old were you the first time you ever fired a gun?

@FalconbridgeV01 @lady_valor_07 Jumping from the plane door to the top step of the exit ramp is jumping off a plane no matter how far off the ground that is

@lady_valor_07 Well even if a plane is on the tarmac, the door is still 8-15 feet off the ground I know if I jumped 15 feet I'd probably hurt myself 🤔 So depends on the plane, if its a small aircraft then yeah you can just step out 🤣

Almost no one gets this right Try if you can

@DrNeilStone To be fair, you would also need to check of it is just the wearing of the parachute that saves lives, or does it also have to be opened.

A new parachute design comes out Should it be tested to compare it against a) The old parachute design b) No parachute at all Now do you see the problem with demanding placebo controlled trials for every vaccine??

@GrandpaHarris65 It makes perfect sense. Trump supporters accept anything he says without question or even listening. Trump is the same when it comes to King Charles, Putin and Netanyahu

It's still insane to me that the King of England came here and insulted Trump to his face, over and over again, and it all just went right over Trump's head.

@TheExtremeMusi1 Andy Fraser

What BASSIST had the MOST charisma of ALL TIME???

I’ve lost faith in the media in recent years but credit where credit is due. Those journos who whacked off the wine from the tables as they were being told to leave…they’re the unsung heroes in all this. I wonder if they were Aussies 🤔. That’s the Aussie spirit right there.

@Mr_Husky1 If they comment, just say the cats must have done it

I had a best friend who recently had a loss in their family. I'm feeding her cats while she is away. Would it be weird if I tidied up her apartment while I'm there? Not that it's dirty! She had to leave in a rush to catch a flight. So like wash the dirty dishes in the sink, wipe down the counters. That type of thing. I feel like if I lost a family member, coming back to a tidy home would take so much weight off my shoulders. Anonymous

When you wake up in the morning and think how can I be the biggest wanker in Australia today?

@sigaJohny that's easy, they'd didn't have one but I do remember my mother's work number BO152

Alguém que cresceu antes das mídias sociais ainda se lembra do número de telefone fixo de seus pais?

@ArchaeoBenjamin I wonders because bike trials is a fascinating sport. I really don't understand how they manage navigating obstacles like rocks, logs, or urban structures on a specialized, seatless bicycle without letting feet touch the ground

*TRAIL, not "trial." Look, G-d saw fit to fuck me up in more ways than one.

Actual conversation I had on the bike trial today: Person: “Why does your vest that say ‘Deaf Cyclist’?” Me: “To alert other riders that I cannot hear or react to them unless I can see them.” Person: “But you’re not deaf. You’re talking to me right now!”

@catshealworldd I have 3 cats. They respond to their individual name and ignore the others

Question do cats learn their names like dogs do???

@CBlueStrike @luxemiaa Maybe she heard Brassilia instead of Brussels

@luxemiaa I think they misheard you. You said Brussels and they thought you said Brazil?

“Where are you flying to?” “Brussels” “Where is your visa” **shows visa** **ignores visa shown and flips to another page** “Your Brazil visa expired” “OK, but I’m not travelling to Brazil, I’m going to Belgium” “Where’s your visa?” “The one I already showed you” “That one is for The Netherlands” “You’ll figure it out soon enough” “You need a valid visa for Brazil to go to Belgium” “I do not” **blank stare** **blank stare** “Let her pass, all her documents are in order” “Oh, you know her?” 😐

@KeruboSk In 1970 at high school, I had a horticulture teacher who was a pupil at the school when it first opened in 1907. That would have him born in about 1895 to 1897

Just out of curiosity… who out there has actually talked to someone born in the 1800s during their lifetime?

Name a movie scene with a train 🚉

@Shaun_A_Ernst @SusieAcacia @learning_yohei Probably capitals score extra govt funding and infrastructure

@StephenJ_Hall @SusieAcacia @learning_yohei What are the practical implications of state capitals? Just the seat of government?

世界の文化に興味を持つ日本人です🇯🇵😄 オーストラリア人に質問があります🇦🇺🙋‍♀️ オーストラリアの首都ってシドニーですよね？🤔 多くの日本人はシドニーって言ってます🇯🇵🤝🇦🇺

@SusieAcacia @learning_yohei New York isn't even the capital of New York state

@learning_yohei I was asked this in the US, and when I told them it was Canberra they asked “why isn’t it Sydney?”. I responded with “why isn’t it New York?l.
