Daily Discussion Thread 🍻 Friday 19 Jan 2024
(aussie.zone)
This community is a place created for the people of Melbourne and Victoria. We are a positive, welcoming and inclusive community. We might not agree about everything, but we always strive to stay civil and respectful.
The focus of our discussions is based around things that effect Victoria, but we are also free to discuss our local perspective on wider issues. Or head to the regular Daily Random Discussion thread to talk about anything.
Ongoing discussions, FAQs & Resources (still under construction)
Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
I love how one of the selling points of my phone (which was all the smart "AI" crap, one of which being the ability to transcribe a recording) completely falls apart the moment it's not an American talking directly into the microphone.... I don't think it's actually understood anything I've tried to use it for, even in person and very clear discussions. But my favourites are trying to record train announcements:
"Now arriving at Berwick [Berrick]" > "now I'm riding ash ferric"
"Next [unintelligible] is Narre Warren station " > "best mattresses marijuana station"
"Berwick [Berrick]" > "Spheric"
And bonus from Sydney: "Saint Peters" became "simp penis"
I've always had a thing for Ash Ferric.
