Quick Tumblr Thread Is An Australian Rosetta Stone


This ended up being Rosetta Stone for a single language. This quick and funny Tumblr thread takes us on a quick tour of the many ways we can express one thing, when it comes to language/cultural references.

Text - merinnan "Good sir, if you are a resident of the United States of America and coming to visit the sunny land of Australia, allow me to inform you that you should be rather more concerned about being sucker punched by a gentleman named 'Dane' who is likely to be seen wearing a wifebeater with a beer company logo on it than by any of the dangerous spiders that exist on this lovely continent".

Man Accidentally Sends Private Message To Whole Company


This guy accidentally sent an email intended for a certain set of eyes, to the whole company. One can only imagine what kind of panic and embarrassment he must've experienced upon the realization that he'd sent the email to a whole lot more people than intended. Oh well. It must've been a good laugh for the rest of the people that got to see it.

I thought it would be funny to reply with "Good News! I finally hit puberty!!!" except that message wasn't private - it went to everyone on the call... like everyone - without any context around it. Just imagine sitting there on a company webex call listening to the SVP of Sales and out of nowhere your coworker sends you a message saying "Good New

Man Cheats On Wife In Car, She Applies Heating Cream To Car Seats


The very definition of getting burned. This husband thought he'd get away with cheating on his wife, but little did he know she'd find out, and do something about it. Oh yes, she proceeded to secretly apply a heating cream to the seats. So, the next time the cheater was out and about with his side chick in that car, a very real burn ensued. Ouch. Good riddance, my dude. 

1.

Text - r/pettyrevenge + JOIN u/pinkfluffyunicorn212 • 6h You better lock your car if you want to cheat in it. First off this is my moms friends story and yes, I asked for permission to post this. So my moms friend, let's call her Anna, was married to a man we'll call cheater, who had a Porsche convertible as his „fun car“. It was his pride and joy and he took care of it like a baby. He always tried to get her to be more enthusiastic about it, but she wasn't into cars.

2.

Text - At some point she found out he had been cheating on her with a young woman he worked with. Sometimes when the weather was right he would pick her up with the Porsche, they'd drive to the woods and have sex in the car. She found out because the woman told another coworker who was a friend of Anna (which she didn't know), about it and she told Anna. Anna was furious, but didn't want a divorce immediately because their daughter was just 4 months away from finishing school and she didn't want

3.

Text - Still she wanted revenge. So she bought a very intense heating cream, that gets horrible when it gets warmth. The kind that you better don't use if you want to take a bath later that day. After he went to work on a Friday, she went a head and polished the leather seats of the Porsche with this heating cream. She said they looked really nice and smooth. When he got home she showed him as a surprise and he was so happy that she finally showed interest in the car and told her how good everyt

4.

Text - leather seats heated up nicely. Unfortunately we don't exactly know what happened when he was gone, we can only guess. But when he came back he was furious, slammed the car door and went straight to shower. Anna said she peaked and saw his back was bright red and did look pretty painful. Of course the shower made it even worse. He never confronted her about it, but since that day he kept the car locked and took the keys with him when he left. She divorced him after her daughter graduated

Laughable Liars That Got Outed Online


Seriously, these liars just keep going around and around, trying to spread their different sentiments of pure fiction. It would seem that as long as the internet is around, we'll have folks trying to get away with weaving their webs of lies, and assuming that someone else out there won't fact check them to oblivion.

Text - The Logic of Science Let me try to explain it this way. Sodium is extremely reactive. It literally explodes when it touches water. Chlorine is highly toxic at anything but very low doses. Table salt (aka sodium chloride) is 50% sodium and 50% chlorine. Does that mean that it will explode when it touches water and give you chlorine poisoning? Obviously not. When sodium and chlorine are together, they change each others properties, and neither chemical behaves the way it would by itself. Th

Umm, what? You have a master's in animal science and you think that? It must not be in anything horse-related... Well you gon' learn today! First, a quick lesson on equine anatomy.

Text - Additionally, a horse's head accounts for 10% of its body weight; therefore, a 1000-lb horse has a 100-lb weight on the end of a 2-3 foot long pivot point, which in itself weighs several hundred pounds. This is another aspect of their anatomy that varies significantly from a dog or cat, whose heads generally weigh 5% or less of their body weight, and their necks are not nearly as proportionally long or heavy. A horse carries approximately 60% of its weight on its front legs. Imagine havin

Text - Horses' guts are also designed to roam around 20 hours of the day grazing (they only sleep 4 hours per day, generally). This becomes much harder with only 3 legs, especially if the missing leg is a front limb and must support that heavy head and neck leaning forward to graze. They also, generally speaking, do not lay down to sleep, so their remaining limb would not get any rest. If the missing limb is a hind leg, they are also automatically missing half of their "stay apparatus," which is

Text - Third, let's talk about an awful condition called "support limb laminitis." Laminitis is a condition where the vascular support structures (blood supply and cushioning) of the hoof get inflamed. We don't really understand what causes it, but we know there are certain things that predispose a horse to getting it. At best it is just very painful; at worst, those support structures break down and the bone inside the hoof rotates and can penetrate through the sole of the hoof. In a normal hor

Radiology - LM So - how does this relate to amputation? Well, one of the main things that we know can predispose a horse to laminitis, is a period of time where the horse is bearing more weight on one limb. This is called support limb laminitis because the limb that is supporting more weight develops laminitis. It usually happens

Text - when the horse is lame (painful) on one limb so it spends more time standing on the unaffected limb. Back to Barbaro - he is one of the most famous cases of fatal support limb laminitis. He was being treated at one of the top equine hospitals in the country for his broken leg - and his broken leg actually healed. However, his left hind leg (the unaffected leg) developed support limb laminitis. Even the top equine specialists in the country were unable to control that laminitis despite hav

Text - Regarding prosthetics, @lizziedoesvetpath has done an excellent synopsis of why they aren't viable in large animals here, but basically it boils down to a combination of all of the above, plus what's in her synopsis, plus the fact that you can't take a prosthetic off of a large animal due to their sleeping habits, and prosthetics are painful and animals can't understand why they have to undergo pain in order to be able to walk around, unlike humans. So basically, the only thing that was c
