Here’s another fun fact about certain kinds of wasps. If you own honey bees, I’d recommend getting another box & have that one filled with Paper wasps because paper wasps will chase away & kill yellow jackets(that will target & kill honey bees), but won’t touch honey bees. I know a few farmers who do this & they say they haven’t seen yellow jackets on their property ever since getting paper wasps.

Can confirm
Not Australian but yes. Also if you ever needed proof of dinosaurs and birds being related check out the Cassowary (also native to Australia of course). Most evil looking bird ever and about as vicious as raptors from the Jurassic Park movies.

I am waiting for the Liberty Mutual commercial where they replace the Emu with a Cassowary and it claws Doug to death. It would be tragic and yet funny.

But what would they name the cassowary? That’s not an easy word to find a rhyming name for.
that reminds me of an aussie i raided with during WotlK.
We were taking a break during raid and he was like “brb, gonna get some maccas”
Due to his accent, we all thought he said “mackers.”
So when he got back we asked him “what’s mackers?”
He then told us “it’s not mackers, it’s maccas”
We were all like "…right, mackers. that’s what we said. what is it?
He then got angry (he must have thought we were messing with him) and he was like “IT’S NOT MACKERS, THERE’S NO “ER” IT’S MACCAS”
But we all heard “it’s not mackers, there’s no “er” it’s mackers”
good times
And if they’re on the bottom of the earth, how do they not fall off?
how other nations have not shortened the name of the biggest franchise in the word is the really baffling thing. Calling it Mc Donands makes it seem far classier than it is. Maccas, you know what what your getting.

I have it on good authority that they use ground-harnesses.
Micky-D’s is fairly common. Though, at this point you should know what you’re getting no matter what you call it.

Micky D’s is the only thing I’ve ever heard here in the U.S., which isn’t really shorter… LOL
Most everyone I know calls it Mickey D’s.
I think Australians have bigger things to worry about than the temperature and wild life
