I live in Montreal, Canada and a few weeks ago we had a ''cold wave'' northern vortex as it's call with temperature of -40C with wind. Yesterday we had a magnificient blizard, cold, snow and wind. I woul not trade my northern country for yours. I love, love love winter but not so much the -42 thouh. Still would not trade it..
Reading signs may not seem like a good idea but when you're on a very long stretch of featureless road for hundreds of kilometres reading the signs can prevent eye strain.
The “stacked rocks” is amazing to see in person. People stop (as did I) and add to or create a new stack (lol, as did I). That pic didn’t do justice to how huge and amazing the whole area really looks😍
I grew up in an old farmhouse with about as much insulation as a tent, no AC and only a fireplace for heat in winter. We kept the butter in the fridge in summer to keep it solid, and in winter to keep it soft. 🤣
Look up Tamworth country music festival. It’s held January each year. It gets so hot during the day, your shoes get stuck in the soft bitumen. They close streets so you can wander around viewing the buskers. But when the temperature hits 45 Celsius (around 113 Fahrenheit) you find the nearest pub or swimming pool.
The rock is called a zebra rock and comes from the top of Western Australia. The produce is a brand called The Odd Bunch and you can get all sorts of fruit and vegetables.
Surprisingly a lot of people still have no air conditioning here in Australia, all new houses do but older flats and houses sometimes don't unless the owners install them. A lot of the time it's older people who don't have it which is really unfortunate as they need it more than most. My friend lives in a government funded rental and he has no air conditioning and I think no ceiling fans? I have no idea how he copes. Our house didn't have any when my family bought it, I just wish I had aircon in my bedroom, it's so hard to sleep sometimes 😭
I own an older flat, never bothered getting an aircon installed and I'm not sure how I cope haha, especially when drinking in Summer. Just gotta stay hydrated with a powerful fan.
@@cherylcolautti5401 I live in tropical QLD so I'm blasting it like half the year at least 😅 it's like me and jackets, I can't justify buying them when it's coldish for like a week haha
re: the melted soap and your question about AC: yes most homes in Australia have AC, but not all, and even if your place does have AC you wouldn't leave it running while you're not home, that's a waste of electricity and electricity isn't cheap.
I only turn mine off if the outside temp drops below 20, otherwise it’s set to automatically stay at 21C all summer long. The thermostat makes sure the power is only running when the room gets too warm, then it adjusts the room temp and goes back into standby mode. The A/C manual recommended this method as the cheapest way to run it.
Yes we have police horses. In fact, the New South Wales Mounted Police is the oldest continuous Mounted Police unit in the world. It was formed in 1825. The Mounted Unit has been at its current location in Redfern since 1907. Yes, older thanthe Canadian Mounties who weren't established until 1920.
The icecream was named Gaytime before the alphabet crew took the name for themselves, hence chagngjng the meaning. The word gay originaly meant happy as was used alot here, therfor saying eating the icecream is a happy time.. We have a song/nursery rhyme created in 1934 called Kookaburra, part of the lyric in the song "...gay your life must be". The song is all about the kookaburras laugh, they appear to always be happy due to their laugh.
@@dubiouswretch na, the box jellyfish vinegar is a bright blue colour, which I very much doubt anyone would want on their fish & chips. Particularly around the Barrier Reef, the area's so tourist orientated that the British tourists in particular just see it as an extra service Australia's providing for tourists & use it for their fish & chips, unless doing so will turn their whole meal blue. Obviously works, cause they've been doing it for decades
I live in an arid zone, our summers are HOT! Even with the AC on if you don’t put your butter in the fridge….it melts 🥺 and yes soap can and does as well. A lot of houses don’t have AC in every room 🤫
We have the regular veggies that are straight or have no bumps erc. Then the shops also sell what is called the odd bunch ..which are veggies that would normally be deemed irregular and not be sold. Now they sell these fruit and veg slightly cheaper
I can definitely relate to all the hot weather pictures. It was 38C (100F) today in Adelaide Australia! It's still 33C (91F) at 10pm. Can't wait for summer to be over!
Hoover dam had no drone signs when I was there. Lots of homes down south don't have AC necessarily. Although that is very much changing with the heat waves in the last 10 years but traditionally has been more temperate weather here.
I really enjoyed that video - made even more fun by your bewilderment at many of these things that most Australians don't think twice about BUT some of them I hadn't seen before either.
A show did a documentary on how much produce was wasted because of the shopping centers only taking the perfect size and shape fruit and vegetables. People were disgusted at the waste so the supermarkets started selling the odd bunch fruit and veg at a lower price. You should look into how much food is wasted from the need for the perfect shape. You will be shocked
According to the UN, globally it's 40% of fruit & veg that's wasted 30% grains 20% meat & dairy That's waste by volume, waste by price would be very different numbers, meat & dairy would be much higher
Hi Ryan You're definitely not too old to learn to surf. You're just a young lad. Hope you get a chance one day to give it a try. Bit hard for you living so far from the coast😕 Love your Channel. (Sadly, miss Hey Hey though). You're my favourite Yank, keep up the good work 👍💞👏 Ps my absolute favourite thing about the American language is when an American man calls me Mam. Australians never use that term. I've had it a few times over the phone with business calls, when an American guy is on the other end, and says "good afternoon Mam, or thank you Mam, or have a good day Mam". It just sounds so beautiful to me and always make me think of a handsome young American guy, in my minds eye wearing a Marine or Army uniform (don't ask me why, just my wild imagination) or maybe dressed like a cowboy with a Stetson hat and boots, and it gives me goosebumps. ☺️
How do you know this? I've emailed several time to advise of a package I sent and tracking number and received no response. It's been awaiting collection since the 11th of Feb. It's not about patience, or about mail time, its about making sure that the item was picked up before it gets sent back to me....(aus post only keeps parcels for two weeks for example). According to Australia post the package has not yet been picked up. I always receive a delivered to recipient notification when a package has been picked up. But I've only received notifications to say it's stil awaiting collection. The lack of communication has disappointed me.
Aircon only works up to a certain point and then you have to head for water. I can't get my house cool when the outside temps get past 40C (104F) and in summer my husbands and my bedroom gets over 50C (122F) in the afternoon because it gets the western sun. Nothing short of a freezer with 1m thick walls could cope with that heat. It's just a fact of life. Thanks for your vids, we really enjoy them.
Lmao I live 15 minutes from Fremantle (Also known as Freo) and the way you said it sent me reeling. It's free-mantle. Also if you want to see art in Freo (Home of the Freo Dockers), see the statues, they're much better and they really tell the rich history of the place. Also, Wave Rock was made by water running down the cliff face eroding it, and giving it it's distinct shape, as opposed to the water hitting the cliff from the side. Also, the Tetris building isn't really known by anyone here I think. The best thing in Perth is probably the bell tower, and even that's pretty shitty. I'd erecommend taking a stroll through King's Park though. That smoke would be from a bushfire most likely from somewhere a bit north of Perth. Also we call red solo cups, "red american cups", but usually we use clear plastic ones or the styrofoam kind. Golden Gaytime is one of the best flavors know to man, but I've never heard of the unicorn version. So many people fuck around with drones and they're so fucking annoying that we make no drone zones and they're pretty common. We have hologram birds on all our notes, and they're really fucking cool. THey've got Aussie ihistorical figures on them like Banjo Paterson and the such. Thanks for the great vid Ryan, keep up the great work!
The road sign trivia is used on long, straight, empty stretches of road, like the Nullarbor Plain... it's to help keep the drivers awake. Also, these sections of road often do not have heavy traffic, so if something happens, it could be a while before it's found. The health rating on food came in awhile ago... it's also used in the school system - food under a certain level can not be sold in school canteens. We don't have cafeterias with set meals like in the US (assuming movies/TV are correct here.) Over here, we don't use those solo cups... we do have disposable cups/plates etc now, but they're all compostable/recyclable, and mostly made of paper. The 2 storey trains are in Sydney (possibly other cities as well) mostly used for the airport line. A friend of mine used to live in a suburb on the Sydney airport... the train was always jam packed. I live in Queensland - the last month or so, we've frequently been having temperatures around 40 degrees C... this is common for us, and we have ceiling fans, air conditioners etc. But a lot of houses in the southern areas don't, as the weather doesn't (or usen't to) get that hot.
Hey Ryan, You are never too old to learn to surf. You don't have to be good at it, just give it a go. I surf, I'm 57, my brother surfs, hes 69 and has a new hip. So much fun and it is a kind of connection to the sea. Fall off, get back on, get wet, live 😉
I'm 72 and I have never lived anywhere with A/C. I do live in Melbourne though where summer is mostly unreliable and short. If I lived in my native Qld, I think I'd need A/C. In my youth when A/C was rare, we'd head to the nearest Airconned pub or a cinema or swimming pool or a creek or the beach.
@@philippaking1732 when I lived in Brisbane we’d often have blackouts in summer when the grid was overwhelmed by everyone using fans or A/C. Like you, we’d head to the cinema at night and when it closed we’d sometimes just drive around in the car with the AC on (back when petrol wasn’t so expensive!)
@@philippaking1732 I remember hanging out in pubs as a teenager, drinking beer as slowly as possible because I only got $10/week pocket money. Walking through the door was like walking into a different part of the world, and not only because of the cold air and cold beer.
I really think that it a great idea, Ryan, about parking a wrecked car in front of a highschool with notations such as "this driver was Texting". I wish they would do it here in Oz.
Hi Ryan! I’m from Baltimore, Maryland but live in NSW in the Blue Mountains. I rent and don’t have ac. I have fans I bought and it get awfully hot. Hope you all come over to see this beautiful country.
The building with the Face depicts the face of the indigenous people of the area. It is one of the buildings of RMIT University.(Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University) RMIT University buildings occupy a good sector of Melbourne and Southern section of Carlton. This is surprising to most since the Univesity of Melbourne occupies buildings mainly in Carlton.
@Official_Ryanwas One of tgeajor differences between USA snd Australia is our laws. You say a lot about our gun laws but we also do not have capital punishment, we have no fault divorce and there are no penalties for extra marital romances, so privste detectives are not chasing partners trying to get photos... We also have one if the most or the most stringent WH&S im the world snd our building safety regulations are also the most stringent in the world... All of these thing have government supervisionregulating them and all work very well. Litigation is more balanced as it is done through a body which specialises inthat area, so it is fairer. These would all make interrsting topics of discussion. By the way, even though since 1970's we have no fault divorce we don't have more divorce than USA. We also have a policy since 1992 that tried to give equity to children of people in lower income groups. I have not checked in the US but I an unaware of a similar policy to try to deal with child povdrty in the USA. Also, we have a Closing the Gap 20 year program to raise education, careers and health of indigenous people in Australia...notall governments since its inceptiom in 2008 have done their best to keep it on track, and there should be more done to raise the standards. When they started msternal and infant mortality was high and the life expectancy across the board was vastly different. There should be discussion about such issues.
😂😂😂 gotta laugh that we upside down love it! Yes some roads are very very long so I’m sure the signs are good to help, but in my driving journeys have always stopped and had a rest if I’m tired 👍 btw Australia isn’t always hot haha
Those trivia road signs are great the first time you read them. The next time you drive by though you alredy know the answer, so they become redundant. Especially for like Truck Drivers, who drive on the same roads daily. If they change them into electronic billboards that can change questions and then have the answer change a little while after so the questions and answers match up fior drivers, that would be very effective.
yup, they should do that! If they feel that's too much cost or difficulty, maybe truck drivers & others regularly using the road could be allowed to create their own signs (with some limits in place on what's allowed). That could really create some fun & interest :) Give them sets of letters & make the signs those boards where the letters get stuck up individually to write whatever's going into them
America seems to do that whole house system (I've forgotten what it's called now), so their bathrooms would be cool too. Even with air con here, we tend to do just a couple of rooms, not every room 24/7
@@mehere8038I have ducted reverse cycle air con courtesy of the previous owner, it’s in all the rooms but not the hallway or bathrooms. If I leave all the doors open it circulates into the hallway and bathrooms. Im on the east coast now but when I lived in Perth I put in ducted evaporative air con which uses a lot less power but you can only have it in places with very low humidity. A high percentage of Perth homes seem to have air conditioning but that’s not surprising, the north east suburb I lived in had a summer average in the mid thirties Celsius.
I was waiting to see ow long it would take for you to comment on the second carrot. On a different, and more wholesome, but terrifying note.... Given the snakes and spiders in Australia....No way I am reaching into that Coke machine. I love the Police Horses with lights.
My air-con is broken, so I'm surviving by zooper doopers, cool showers, spicy food (not sure why that make me feel cooler but it does), and electric fans
Those fatigue signs are in places with nothing you can hit without actually falling asleep or letting go of the wheel, and there's just dirt and highway (very broad, flat, featureless highway) for as far as the eye can see. You can try to veer off the road into the actual sign if you like. Plus they're really short and you can see them from forever away because there's nothing in the way.
Worth noting how big Australian states are. While Australia doesn't hold the biggest "state" in the world because Yakutia in Russia is bigger, Western Australia is Second. Queensland, where these signs come from, is 6th. Alaska is smaller than Queensland. Texas is 26th. 1/3 the size of Queensland. If Texas was an Australian state it would rank 6th. How many states do we have in Australia again? :) We have Shires or Counties roughly the same size as Texas. Hell, we have farms about the same size as Texas.
Mate I'm as true blue as the rest of us and I can assure ya we don't have farms as big as texas itself - bigger than the biggest farm in texas yes, but not the actual state. There are localities I believe in WA which are larger though!
@@Macmumoz Anna Creek Station has an area of 23,677km/sq, which is enormous, but the Shire of East Pilbara (Western Australia) has an area of 372,571km/sq - over ten times bigger; and that’s just one example.
The beat up car exhibit saying about drink driving, inattentive driving et al was done at my former workplace in the South East of South Australia which is a very small populated area and many are Country Fire Association volunteers who are first responders to such things so the management were told to piss it off as it was causing grief.
Not everyone has AC and it's quite expensive. But Australian homes are required to have heaters, which is stupid as winters are mild and only last for 6 weeks.
I haven't used my AC this year because the cost of electricity is so high, hopefully I will get solar panels installed before the next summer comes around.
The speed bumps were melted because people do burnouts on them 😅 you can see the tyre marks if you look 🤣 it does get ridiculously hot and sometimes shit melts but that speed bump in that photo was skidded on a couple of times and not even that bad 😂
Ryan. You need to react to "Voyager promise" Australia's entry for Eurovision 2023. See if it's your kind of song. Plus the music video has some scenery you may enjoy of Australia
They're probably branded 'college cups' because we only see them in films like American Pie, Van Wilder etc. I've seen non U.S people on fb/Reddit/etc ask if they exist in real life or if it's just a thing in movies. Ha.
Not every house here in Australia has AC. A lot of us live through high 30, 40-degree days and nights as heat waves like this keen last from 3 to 5 days.

Yes you genetically modify to get the perfect shape and colour… But a big part of that process is throwing out all the ones that arnt, instead of selling them as they are perfectly good food still
yup. Crops like carrots actually have nothing to do with GMO, it relates to ensuring not a single stone, or anything that can cause the carrot to split & go 2 directions while growing, additionally, to stop splitting of the skin, they must be watered daily, for a fixed time, all of which is very wasteful just for appearance, but then on top of all of that, they still use misshapen ones in processed foods, then throw out around 40% of the total crop in addition to that, so as to ensure only the good looking carrots make it to supermarket shelves. Better just to eat the ugly ones too!
@@miniveedub peeled first though & it's easier to peel when straight, so people hand picking from shop shelves will choose the straight ones, leaving the deformed ones behind, so stores just choose to only buy the straight ones, so they can just pile fresh ones on top of the old when stock gets low & not have to worrry about some rotting due to being repeatedly left by consumers. Notice how "the odd bunch" are always in bags, never for consumer selection? At least at woolies/coles, Harris Farm does entire sections of cosmetically defective produce, with green bags to put it into, instead of white ones, so as to make checkout prices easier to do
A friendly request, the bottom of the video you are reacting to is always cut off meaning we can't read the text and sometimes the content of the video, there is always plenty of "head room" at the top of the screen so it should just be a matter of lowering the camera position?

It's not about patience, or about mail time, its about making sure that the item was picked up before it gets sent back to me....(aus post only keeps parcels for two weeks for example).
According to Australia post the package has not yet been picked up. I always receive a delivered to recipient notification when a package has been picked up. But I've only received notifications to say it's stil awaiting collection.
The lack of communication has disappointed me.
Aircon only works up to a certain point and then you have to head for water. I can't get my house cool when the outside temps get past 40C (104F) and in summer my husbands and my bedroom gets over 50C (122F) in the afternoon because it gets the western sun. Nothing short of a freezer with 1m thick walls could cope with that heat. It's just a fact of life. Thanks for your vids, we really enjoy them.
Nutritional information on food packaging was started in Australia. As was health warnings on cigarette packaging.
Hi Ryan in Victoria rural country the bitumen can melt and get over the tires of the car goes back to liquid tar
The skinny building at the end is the Dental Hospital near Central Station in Sydney..
Lmao I live 15 minutes from Fremantle (Also known as Freo) and the way you said it sent me reeling. It's free-mantle. Also if you want to see art in Freo (Home of the Freo Dockers), see the statues, they're much better and they really tell the rich history of the place.
Also, Wave Rock was made by water running down the cliff face eroding it, and giving it it's distinct shape, as opposed to the water hitting the cliff from the side.
Also, the Tetris building isn't really known by anyone here I think. The best thing in Perth is probably the bell tower, and even that's pretty shitty. I'd erecommend taking a stroll through King's Park though.
That smoke would be from a bushfire most likely from somewhere a bit north of Perth.
Also we call red solo cups, "red american cups", but usually we use clear plastic ones or the styrofoam kind.
Golden Gaytime is one of the best flavors know to man, but I've never heard of the unicorn version.
So many people fuck around with drones and they're so fucking annoying that we make no drone zones and they're pretty common.
We have hologram birds on all our notes, and they're really fucking cool. THey've got Aussie ihistorical figures on them like Banjo Paterson and the such.
Thanks for the great vid Ryan, keep up the great work!
The road sign trivia is used on long, straight, empty stretches of road, like the Nullarbor Plain... it's to help keep the drivers awake. Also, these sections of road often do not have heavy traffic, so if something happens, it could be a while before it's found.
The health rating on food came in awhile ago... it's also used in the school system - food under a certain level can not be sold in school canteens. We don't have cafeterias with set meals like in the US (assuming movies/TV are correct here.)
Over here, we don't use those solo cups... we do have disposable cups/plates etc now, but they're all compostable/recyclable, and mostly made of paper.
The 2 storey trains are in Sydney (possibly other cities as well) mostly used for the airport line. A friend of mine used to live in a suburb on the Sydney airport... the train was always jam packed.
I live in Queensland - the last month or so, we've frequently been having temperatures around 40 degrees C... this is common for us, and we have ceiling fans, air conditioners etc. But a lot of houses in the southern areas don't, as the weather doesn't (or usen't to) get that hot.
Hey Ryan,
You are never too old to learn to surf. You don't have to be good at it, just give it a go. I surf, I'm 57, my brother surfs, hes 69 and has a new hip.
So much fun and it is a kind of connection to the sea. Fall off, get back on, get wet, live 😉
A heck of a lot of us Aussies don't have A/C, I don't.
I'm 72 and I have never lived anywhere with A/C. I do live in Melbourne though where summer is mostly unreliable and short. If I lived in my native Qld, I think I'd need A/C. In my youth when A/C was rare, we'd head to the nearest Airconned pub or a cinema or swimming pool or a creek or the beach.
@@philippaking1732 when I lived in Brisbane we’d often have blackouts in summer when the grid was overwhelmed by everyone using fans or A/C. Like you, we’d head to the cinema at night and when it closed we’d sometimes just drive around in the car with the AC on (back when petrol wasn’t so expensive!)
@@philippaking1732
I remember hanging out in pubs as a teenager, drinking beer as slowly as possible because I only got $10/week pocket money.
Walking through the door was like walking into a different part of the world, and not only because of the cold air and cold beer.
I really think that it a great idea, Ryan, about parking a wrecked car in front of a highschool with notations such as
"this driver was Texting". I wish they would do it here in Oz.
Hi Ryan! I’m from Baltimore, Maryland but live in NSW in the Blue Mountains. I rent and don’t have ac. I have fans I bought and it get awfully hot. Hope you all come over to see this beautiful country.
I'm in Sydney with no AC, rented my spare room to a guy visiting from Baltimore once and we spent Xmas sitting around shirtless cause it was so hot.
@@dubiouswretch that’s awesome! Do you know what part of Baltimore?
The building with the Face depicts the face of the indigenous people of the area.
It is one of the buildings of RMIT University.(Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University) RMIT University buildings occupy a good sector of Melbourne and Southern section of Carlton.
This is surprising to most since the Univesity of Melbourne occupies buildings mainly in Carlton.
@Official_Ryanwas One of tgeajor differences between USA snd Australia is our laws. You say a lot about our gun laws but we also do not have capital punishment, we have no fault divorce and there are no penalties for extra marital romances, so privste detectives are not chasing partners trying to get photos...
We also have one if the most or the most stringent WH&S im the world snd our building safety regulations are also the most stringent in the world...
All of these thing have government supervisionregulating them and all work very well.
Litigation is more balanced as it is done through a body which specialises inthat area, so it is fairer.
These would all make interrsting topics of discussion.
By the way, even though since 1970's we have no fault divorce we don't have more divorce than USA.
We also have a policy since 1992 that tried to give equity to children of people in lower income groups. I have not checked in the US but I an unaware of a similar policy to try to deal with child povdrty in the USA.
Also, we have a Closing the Gap 20 year program to raise education, careers and health of indigenous people in Australia...notall governments since its inceptiom in 2008 have done their best to keep it on track, and there should be more done to raise the standards.
When they started msternal and infant mortality was high and the life expectancy across the board was vastly different.
There should be discussion about such issues.
the first picture is Wave Rock in Hyden Western Australia's wheatbelt which is east of Perth
that sculpture with the crushed car is right outside my work and I just tell clients to look for it when they're trying to find our office hahah
😂😂😂 gotta laugh that we upside down love it! Yes some roads are very very long so I’m sure the signs are good to help, but in my driving journeys have always stopped and had a rest if I’m tired 👍 btw Australia isn’t always hot haha
Not everyone has AC, I Always buy the odd bunch fruit & veg, heaps cheaper, always good, wave rock in W.A, Love ya videos❣️
Everyone in WA has aircon.
The first photo is of Wave Rock in a place called Hyden in Western Australia
I have been driving through the country in Australia before and some of the road has been partly melted
Your such a nice guy,l hope you and your family eventually at least come for a holiday,l really enjoy watching your channel ♥️
@Official_Ryanwas Hi Ryan,l got a message from you which you highlighted,you wanted me to contact you.. Christine 🌻
I cooked an egg on the pavement when the weatherman said it was 100F- I was a kid🇦🇺
Ryan, all Prisons have a no Drone zone that covers the perimeter of the location. We have a lot of Prison Farms etc.
36 degrees /88 degrees Fahrenheit here in Melbourne. I put the aircon on low, turned it off as it got a tad cold lol.
Those trivia road signs are great the first time you read them. The next time you drive by though you alredy know the answer, so they become redundant. Especially for like Truck Drivers, who drive on the same roads daily. If they change them into electronic billboards that can change questions and then have the answer change a little while after so the questions and answers match up fior drivers, that would be very effective.
yup, they should do that!
If they feel that's too much cost or difficulty, maybe truck drivers & others regularly using the road could be allowed to create their own signs (with some limits in place on what's allowed). That could really create some fun & interest :) Give them sets of letters & make the signs those boards where the letters get stuck up individually to write whatever's going into them
Yes the soaps inside. It has been 104 outside and 95f overnight with evap air cond. My handcream even melted in its bottle
5:32 I didn’t even notice the second carrot until you pointed it out 😆🤣
Red Rocket
That white building on the beach is The Indiana Tearooms.
The “maze” on the beach is a meditation labyrinth. Never seen one done in seaweed before.
not all houses have ac. I've tried those golden gaytime ice creams, the original one is best 😋
Even if a house has air con, it's basically never in the bathroom so melted soap is not uncommon. But there's no excuse for the melted butter 😅
America seems to do that whole house system (I've forgotten what it's called now), so their bathrooms would be cool too. Even with air con here, we tend to do just a couple of rooms, not every room 24/7
@@mehere8038 It's called ducted air conditioning over here. Wish I had that!
@@mehere8038I have ducted reverse cycle air con courtesy of the previous owner, it’s in all the rooms but not the hallway or bathrooms. If I leave all the doors open it circulates into the hallway and bathrooms. Im on the east coast now but when I lived in Perth I put in ducted evaporative air con which uses a lot less power but you can only have it in places with very low humidity. A high percentage of Perth homes seem to have air conditioning but that’s not surprising, the north east suburb I lived in had a summer average in the mid thirties Celsius.
I was waiting to see ow long it would take for you to comment on the second carrot. On a different, and more wholesome, but terrifying note.... Given the snakes and spiders in Australia....No way I am reaching into that Coke machine. I love the Police Horses with lights.
It's 3:40 PM in Adelaide, I'm sitting under the air conditioner, outside is 114 F
My air-con is broken, so I'm surviving by zooper doopers, cool showers, spicy food (not sure why that make me feel cooler but it does), and electric fans
Those fatigue signs are in places with nothing you can hit without actually falling asleep or letting go of the wheel, and there's just dirt and highway (very broad, flat, featureless highway) for as far as the eye can see. You can try to veer off the road into the actual sign if you like. Plus they're really short and you can see them from forever away because there's nothing in the way.
Worth noting how big Australian states are. While Australia doesn't hold the biggest "state" in the world because Yakutia in Russia is bigger, Western Australia is Second.
Queensland, where these signs come from, is 6th.
Alaska is smaller than Queensland.
Texas is 26th. 1/3 the size of Queensland.
If Texas was an Australian state it would rank 6th. How many states do we have in Australia again? :)
We have Shires or Counties roughly the same size as Texas. Hell, we have farms about the same size as Texas.
Mate I'm as true blue as the rest of us and I can assure ya we don't have farms as big as texas itself - bigger than the biggest farm in texas yes, but not the actual state.
There are localities I believe in WA which are larger though!
You can drive for days in WA and still be in WA lol
@@psychedelicprawncrumpets9479 yep! Especially when bridges are washed out with detours
@@S3pra I thought Anna Station was slightly bigger.
@@Macmumoz Anna Creek Station has an area of 23,677km/sq, which is enormous, but the Shire of East Pilbara (Western Australia) has an area of 372,571km/sq - over ten times bigger; and that’s just one example.
NSW has the oldest continously operating Mounted Police unit in the world.
The beat up car exhibit saying about drink driving, inattentive driving et al was done at my former workplace in the South East of South Australia which is a very small populated area and many are Country Fire Association volunteers who are first responders to such things so the management were told to piss it off as it was causing grief.
health star rating is food in that catergory so if you see 5 star chips DO NOT replace it with 4 star fruits for ever
Not everyone has AC and it's quite expensive. But Australian homes are required to have heaters, which is stupid as winters are mild and only last for 6 weeks.
OMG l laughed so hard with the KIM JONG YUM and the rocket , I’m Ozzie and have not seen this , what a blast 👍🤣🤣
In England too they sometimes sell not 'perfect' vegetables too.
If you subtract the health rating from five, you get the "Yummy Rating". So Tim Tams have a Health Rating of 0.5 stars, but a Yummy Rating of 4.5.
🤣😂
Most people in Australia live without aircon. People use ceiling fans or other fans a lot.
Every house has individual AC not everyone can afford it & it gets damn hot😊
Our produce isn't sold by the pound, it's sold by the kilogram.. 🇦🇺
I haven't used my AC this year because the cost of electricity is so high, hopefully I will get solar panels installed before the next summer comes around.
Dude I spit out my cereal laughing with you carrot comment 😂
The speed bumps were melted because people do burnouts on them 😅 you can see the tyre marks if you look 🤣 it does get ridiculously hot and sometimes shit melts but that speed bump in that photo was skidded on a couple of times and not even that bad 😂
Ryan. You need to react to "Voyager promise" Australia's entry for Eurovision 2023. See if it's your kind of song. Plus the music video has some scenery you may enjoy of Australia
They're probably branded 'college cups' because we only see them in films like American Pie, Van Wilder etc.
I've seen non U.S people on fb/Reddit/etc ask if they exist in real life or if it's just a thing in movies. Ha.
Not every house here in Australia has AC. A lot of us live through high 30, 40-degree days and nights as heat waves like this keen last from 3 to 5 days.
Not all houses has air con especially rental properties
The stacked rocks are call cairns people build them to reflect
We actually sell bananas as individuals if you order online, in the supermarket they sell them by weight.
That sign is between Rockhampton and Mackay.
hey ryan back in the day i stepped on a dried out puffer fish on the beach at lakes entrance, hurt like hell cos even dried still some toxin. so i hopped my way off the beach to the local hospital. alas as i was crossing a side street a car came screaming around the corner. i had no option but run , kind of run and jump. yeah straight onto a 6 inch rusty nail that went most of the way into my heel. ouch. yeah a bigger dose of anti tetanus that hurt like hell too. was 3 weeks til i could walk normal again. ya tia , this is australia everything can kill you. did u see the severe storms in sydney lately? and brisbane and newcastle? but what does not kill you only makes you stronger. yeah everything melts in the heat washed up jellies n bluebottles. beware of the seat belt buckle, hurts like hell, so does the steering wheel. heat? try 50 to 51C. where my back yard on the central coast nsw and hartz range nt. me and my bro shared the only shade for miles around with some cows.
Your food isn’t genetically modified they just throw away the odd shaped ones
Yeah, nah, you can't leave butter out in the summer even with the air-con on, the soap doesn't melt but some candles will definately soften
Gaytime was my favourite icecream as a kid, apart from chocolate paddle pops... the ads for gaytime used have the jingle "its hard to have a gay time on your own ... " Ha!
two summers ago we had a week of over 48 degrees celsius (118degrees f) here in adelaide i reckon that was taken then ,the soap melting i mean
Magpies are Swooping ALWAYS.
My son loved the odd shaped carrots when he was a kid.
The cans werent made black and white, being in the sun makes them fade. But diet coke here is silver. But red does go black grey in the sun. We also have black cans for one or 2 of the varieties. I think no sugar.
Not every house has air con, some only have it in the living room, not the kitchen or bathroom.
Australia is actually full, And a terrible place under no Circumstances should any more ppl come. Australia is full. Just Saying
Happy Arvo Ryan,
Also Australia doesn't exist, which you already covered iirc
You're never too old to learn how to surf.
Tell that to my knees 😂
Happy ARVO Ryan! 👍😁 😎🇦🇺📸🙃 Poor quality soap! 😏 Roast fish! 😄 Visual aids! 🥸 Paper planes! 😂 Maccers rules! 😆 That's not a rock! 😳 Cycle your phone! 😁 Chillax! 😎 Rainbow clouds everywhere! 😍 Box of vinegar! 👍 Gaytime icecream! 😋 You are not too old! 🤨 No drones, could be the US base!? 😵 Money! 🤩 Not quite America! 😂 See ya! (30,000 jobs on offer in WA! 😉🙃)
Yes you genetically modify to get the perfect shape and colour…
But a big part of that process is throwing out all the ones that arnt, instead of selling them as they are perfectly good food still
yup. Crops like carrots actually have nothing to do with GMO, it relates to ensuring not a single stone, or anything that can cause the carrot to split & go 2 directions while growing, additionally, to stop splitting of the skin, they must be watered daily, for a fixed time, all of which is very wasteful just for appearance, but then on top of all of that, they still use misshapen ones in processed foods, then throw out around 40% of the total crop in addition to that, so as to ensure only the good looking carrots make it to supermarket shelves. Better just to eat the ugly ones too!
Carrots usually get chopped, sliced or grated, I really can’t see the point of only selling straight ones.
@@miniveedub peeled first though & it's easier to peel when straight, so people hand picking from shop shelves will choose the straight ones, leaving the deformed ones behind, so stores just choose to only buy the straight ones, so they can just pile fresh ones on top of the old when stock gets low & not have to worrry about some rotting due to being repeatedly left by consumers. Notice how "the odd bunch" are always in bags, never for consumer selection? At least at woolies/coles, Harris Farm does entire sections of cosmetically defective produce, with green bags to put it into, instead of white ones, so as to make checkout prices easier to do
I never peel carrots; just scrub them. There's a lot of goodness in the skin of fruit and veggies.
Go in an turn your microphone off on your phone for goggle app etc . As they are listening in ,until you limit apps with microphone access .
A friendly request, the bottom of the video you are reacting to is always cut off meaning we can't read the text and sometimes the content of the video, there is always plenty of "head room" at the top of the screen so it should just be a matter of lowering the camera position? Please, pretty please?
Dude your phone is 100% listing to you. Stop using apple. Power by Kenotic Energy has been around for centuries. I don't think I have seen I double Deka train? Also you should subscribe to the channels you get content from its an Aussie thing. Keep the vids rolling love them.
Occasionally my Android says I need to enable voice recognition, and I clearly explain that I don't need to do anything of the sort, and why I don't want to.
It never gives up telling me the same thing anyway.
Sometimes I wonder if it listens to a single word I say.
@@oakfat5178 I think it listens even when we don't give it permission. Like during the pandemic sometimes I'd banter with my mum some nights then after the call ended my news feed was recipes for the exact foods/meals we were talking about.

Health rating on food - the lower the number, the lower the nutritional value but the higher the taste and comfort factor.
