      I once tried to explain Belgium to an American colleague when I was over in Philly, that started the conversation with the classic "oh yeah, Belgium, that's in Brussels, RIGHT??" and I had to stop because I'm certain I was starting to see smoke come out of their ears.

    The Australian reminded me of a friend of mine who had done part of her PhD in the States and some years later was at the US embassy in NZ to process some documentation for her daughter who was planning a trip passing through the US . The reception clerk while processing the documents pointed out that my friend's green card needed renewing. She said to just let it go as she didn't need it any more. The official was stunned "but this let's you live in the US" she explained. My friend said that she knew this but had no interest in doing so. The shock on the poor woman was palpable. In my friend's opinion she felt as if she had said something rude and inexplicable. Yes, there are other, very happy countries out here.

    In the late 90's I met a guy from the States in Norway, who after learning I'm from Finland asked me: "How did your life change after we liberated you from the USSR?" I was like: "Bitch, we fought Russians in WW2 who used your Lend-Lease stuff against us and we never lost independence." And he claimed we were always part of Russia until USSR collapsed and that USA didn't help commies. I couldn't make him understand we were the only country who fought with the Nazis (my point was against the Soviets) and never lost our capital. His claim that I was mistaken, that he had studied history of Europe and that I didn't know my country's history left me speechless. I won't even touch his zealous missionary mentality.

    Other thing I never really get about the USA is like, why you're so focused on where people "are from" (even if they're from USA), to talk about heritage and stuff
    It's a pretty common thing in the south of Brazil as well (where I'm from) but the rest of Brazil makes fun of it and it's not as "strong" even here, here it's more like "Ok, my parents come directly from ____ therefore I grew up in a pretty _____ household, so I have some _____ culture", but it's not like "Oh, I'm 10% _____ so I consider myself a _____"

    In Australia are living some of the most lethal spiders in the world. One is very small and can live underneath your porch. The famous tarantula´s may bite (when they feel attacked) but apart from a lot of pain for some hours usually not much happens. Normally one can let walk a tarantula over the hand and it will be completely safe.

    Aussie spiders: There's some that are genuinely dangerous, but they're rarely encountered by humans, and we have antivenom (which is free btw, universal healthcare ftw), and no one has died from a spider bite in Australia in quite a few decades. We do have some rather large ones, but not as large as the South American tarantulas, and the ones you most commonly see are harmless. The ones most people are terrified of because of their size are huntsman spiders (also known as wall puppies), which are the large grey to brown hairy ones, despite their large hairy creepy spidery appearance, they're so harmless they're considered friendly. If that doesn't put you at ease, we also have a variety of delightful little peacock spiders, one of which has the name Sparklemuffin Spider. I kid you not, look it up. Peacock spiders are tiny, brightly coloured, completely harmless, and even for a spider they're super cute.

  • @FaisLittleWhiteRaven
    @FaisLittleWhiteRaven Рік тому +11

    We have a LOT of spider species but yes there are deadly ones, namely the Funnel Web spider (lives up and down our eastern coast area) and redback spiders (I think all over the country) both of which usually mind their own businesses in dark, dry areas like under houses or in 'not cleaned out enough' garage sheds but are ones most Aussies learn to identify on sight just in case.
    There are also quite a lot of 'mid level' nasty ones like wolf spiders and white tails which in the worst cases can cause necrosis (rotting) bites which vary visually by area. White tails btw are probably the species most likely to wander about homes and bite people, but generally their bites do not cause any kind of extreme damage so... Yay?
    Our BIG spiders that most people scream over are actually kind of harmless though? The huntsman spider for example gets freaking huge (average is hand sized) and the way it moves is terrifying but not only is it arguable if they even have venom, they rarely if ever bite humans, and in fact are considered a good 'ally' spider to have around as they eat other kinds of spiders as well as pests like roaches, wasps etc.
    They're really big and scary looking though so its fair to be freaked out by them *Says as someone who also gets spooked seeing them but very much requests people remove them from the house peacefully via the container and paper method rather than killing them just for existing*
    Side note: If its hanging in the middle of a web strung out between tree branches its probably harmless (if possibly annoying/panic inducing if you walk face first into a web in the summer). Most of our poisonous spiders are more 'active hunting' kinds or trapdoor/'undergroung/indoor web' spiders. The classic 'small outdoors web spinners' are allies in our endless fight against all the damn flies XD
    Hope that was helpful for your 'Aussie spider knowledge'; if nothing else you should be able to look more into them which the species names listed

    I think that every person lives in their own individual reality, with their own specific knowledge base.

      To be fair, though, I can understand how people from countries where a lot of people emigrated to the US, like Ireland or Italy, are growing a bit tired of it, because they're the ones that are probably hearing this kind of stuff the most. Like, after hearing for the tenth time someone reduce your whole country and culture to a number on their DNA, I can understand being annoyed.
