I'd guess Australian summer is still more annoying
Nah it's way worse than you'd think, we get biblical level swarms of bugs, magpies turn into into kamikaze bombers with knives for feet, you can't trust anything laying on the floor at all, because it's more than likely a snake or one of many big lizards chilling out, you can't trust hiding under trees because our snakes like to climb trees and divebomb humans or just fall off like idiots, the sun has personal beef with Australia for some reason, not sure what we did, but it's pissed at us.
So far this week, I've seen 3 bobtail lizards, one brought inside by my pug, one blue tongue lizard that made me nope the fuck back inside, it was his yard for a while and the magpies have been taunting me every time I go check the mail, so they're gonna attack me any day now, it's not even summer yet, all of that on my own property.
The earth created an island far off to isolate the most dangerous creatures and people were like "this is where I want to live"
I can understand the aborigines because they probably got stuck and couldn't leave. But everyone else that came afterwards?
It's also a reminder how humans destroy animal habitats and call them aggressive. We caused extinction of so many animals, birds, insect that weren't, so can you really blame them?
I've heard about the magpies, are the lizards friendly?
are the lizards friendly?
They're friendlier than the snakes are, a bit. But if they get ya, they lock jaw on you and good luck getting it off ya and you'll have an infected wound for sure, they will jump to bite you, they're slow walking but man can they jump fast.
I'm less scared of them.
The lizards are friendlier here in North America. Most snakes where I live won't kill you. I've seen a copperhead in the wild maybe once. I quite like reptiles. I'm a big fan of Steve Irwin and Vegemite btw.
Noooooo, my last summer refuge from the mosquito scourge!
(Lol as if I could afford to leave the most prosperous and bestest nation on Earth).
Yikes. They might’ve been jerks in the second Mighty Ducks movie but dang, they don’t deserve mosquitoes. Nobody does.
