Mine too.  I much prefer the local chain. (Despite the owner's clear mafia connections.)

The food is without question, superior in every way.

Haha, I bet you'd never guess what's one of the best-known local fast-food chains in Australia? It's a Portuguese-style chicken place.

While y'all are going to Outback Steakhouse, and eating fake "australian" food, we mainly subsist on Portuguese, middle eastern, thai and chinese food, going off the type of places around where I've lived. Hell, a few blocks from my house there's a Hungarian restaurant.

(Always imagines a special room in hell, filled with nothing but a giant platter of weed brownies, and an endless ewer of milk on a permanently immaculate table.)

...

(No matter how many of the weed brownies you eat, the munchies only get worse, and you get sicker and sicker.)

That's a mild hell. Eat as much as you can, sleep trough eternity by slices of 36hours.

Plus, you'd probably get bored and wander off fairly quickly.

I think that you are missing the point that this is hell;

You cannot just wander off. Opening the door that leads out of this immaculately set victorian table setting, laid heavy with brownie delights-- LEADS BACK INTO THE SAME ROOM. There is a convenient loo at the back of the dining room prison, but there is no bed, and nothing to eat OTHER than the brownies and milk.

And like I said-- supernatural levels of the munchies, and all the stomach cramps that go with them.

I feel like this is more comparable to the punishment of Tantalus.

[Jopax]

Kinda dozed while watching random stuff on YT, slept for an hour maybe? I have no idea, only that now my face has that barely slept during the day numbness and that my head hurts like a motherfucker now, yay.

Caught a bit of Ugly Betty. Did nothing to convince me that mainstream TV isn't awful.

"Hm, we need to portray a conventionally unattractive young woman... Better hire one of our extraordinarily pretty actresses, give them glasses and regular clothes and call it a day."

I didn't watch it, but I remember that show being hyped to shit when they were launching it. Now, it's just hyped as shit.

I guess the marketing tactic is that you just bombard the media with the show, and people who haven't seen it (like me) just assume it must be popular. Oh well, it just makes for a more glorious trainwreck when people don't actually like the show very much.

Maybe you could repaint them?

[Gentlefish]

Enamel paints would hold up pretty well, but will be much more of a monetary investment than a second pair.

[Naturegirl1999]

I didn’t know enamel could be used for paint, I only knew it made up teeth

[McTraveller]

Tooth enamel and paint enamel is different stuff, same word.  It's more because they have the same "role" in being a hard, shiny protective layer around something softer underneath.

Tooth enamel is mineral: calcium phosphate.  Enamel paint is usually organic (in the chemistry sense: based on carbon).

EDIT: something tells me it would be possible to develop enamel paint based on tooth enamel.  It would be amusing too - imagine the social media flurry when it is "discovered" that it's made from teeth!

SECOND EDIT: yes sorry I had to be the pedant.

[Naturegirl1999]

Oh, I didn’t know it was different, thank you for the clarification. I didn’t realize we used the same word for very different chemicals.

[Kagus]

I didn’t realize we used the same word for very different chemicals.

Oh, very much! Welcome to a whole new world of delightful language! Things can get a bit silly here though, so take it all with a pinch of salt.

...wait fuck no not that sal-
