@guigirl O.M.G. !!
There are effectively two companies I can choose between for my (pretty mediocre) home internet and they both cost around $80 (£60) a month.
Should we start a GoFundMe for our US colleagues

@tbgbe Alternatively, order in extra B-Arks?

I heard that the CEO of IKEA was taking over and that’s he’s assembling his cabinet now. -

A man walks into a suburban bank branch in Sydney, asking for a loan for $4000. “Before we lend you the money we are going to need some kind of security”, the bank manager says. “No problem,” the man responds, “here are the keys to my car. You’ll see it, it’s a black Porsche parked in the back of the parking lot.” A few weeks later, as the man returns to pay off his loan plus the interest of $11, the manager came over. “Sir, we are very happy to have your business, but if you don’t mind me asking, after you left, we looked into your accounts and found out that you are a millionaire – why would you need to borrow $4000?”
“Well,” the man said, “It’s simple: where else can I park my car for three weeks in Sydney for $11?” -

@hlehyaric I heard they were last seen boarding a plane...

@guigirl To Australia?
-
@hlehyaric Depends. If they're Strayan snakes, our fascist govt will deny them re-entry [due to the Zombie Apocalypse; afaik we're the only western "democracy" [chortle] whose ex-pat citizens have been actively denied re-entry]. Otoh, if they're refugee/asylum-seeker snakes, our fascist govt will imprison them on a tame tropical island bribed by us, with indefinite detention, & defy all UN admonitions about our blatant
humanspecies-rights violations. And, a majority of our selfish venal myopic racist populace will happily turn a blind eye & keep voting for this evil gov't.Sorry, what was the question, again?

Are the snakes going to Australia, adding a snake invasion after a spider invasion (due to floods or something like that)?
But, yes, they will be denied entry. -
@hlehyaric Our vicious drop-bears will repel them!

@guigirl Breaking News: they seek asylum here!

@hlehyaric I'm pretty certain that one is already a resident

In Europe, Christmas beetles are called “cockchafers”. In the year 1478, they appeared in a French court to stand trial on the charge of having been sent by witches to destroy the laity’s crops (and jeopardise the church’s tithes).
The judge, addressing the beetle as “Thou irrational and imperfect creature”, writes EP Evans in the Criminal Prosecution and Capital Punishment of Animals, found them guilty and banished them. Were the beetles to “think you have some reason for not complying”, they were to re-appear six days later at precisely one o’clock, “to justify yourselves or to answer for your conduct”.
In 1479, the cockchafers were accused of “creeping secretly in the earth”. Again the court ordered them “banned and exorcised”, adding that they, “through the power of Almighty God shall be called accursed and shall daily decrease whithersoever you may go”.Gee, i wonder why i utterly mock religion?
