Dude... what kind of beans? How tf can anywhere sell out of beans and rice?!   

[Reelya]

Haven't you been in a supermarket for the past two weeks? Whole rice section stripped, tinned section virtually non-existent. I mentioned in the coronavirus that I make curry which includes: rice, tinned tomatoes, 4-bean mix, tinned chickpeas, curry powder, coconut milk. At one point or another literally every ingredient on that list was completely gone. I'd stock up on the stuff to make this but that apparently now entails going to the supermarket on 3 different days just to get the things on the list. Even right after they've restocked and just opened they didn't have the beans again.

Even the entire cereal aisle was down to about 2 type of cereal out of ~300, and the ones left were weird ones that most people normally wouldn't get. I think the only thing left was Milo breakfast cereal and a couple other things I didn't recognize. Also, in the buscuits section, there was almost no Arnotts left. The only things left at one point were a couple of types of Shapes (the less popular types) and a couple of home-brand knock-off shapes.

The hell is Arnotts

Dropped my phone and the screen broke. That's just fun. At least only the screen's broken, and nothing else, probably. Hopefully.

@Reelya: I dunno, I've been in some supermarkets but I guess it's like I said in some thread or other: it''s kind of a good time for me to be in rural Queensland, as much as I hate being stuck out here. Just about everything I'd normally want to be heading to is cancelled anyway, plus there is at least slightly less ridiculous panic in the food-and-sundries-buying department.   
Ventolin was jus' about sold out, though. Apparently cunts are panic-buying that, now, too. Ugh.

Morons who are worried about everything disappearing from the shelves made everything disappear from the shelves.

It's like things that are food, except these arnott.

Little-known fun fact: there are brands of things which aren't American.

They sell knock-off shapes in Australia? Does that include concave polygons and cardioids?

Such a strange place.

what do you mean, knock off shales. I didn’t think shapes could be copywrited/patented

That reminds me of my physics (one?) notes in college. For about two weeks I had notes that said "tree-uncle?", because none of the students around me had the slightest clue either. Then the professor drew a tree uncle, which is a three-sided shape. You could hear the entire 200-person class say "OOOOOhhhhh" at the same time.

What word is Ohriego supposed to be?

I think it's chri-e-go. It looks like they're trying to teach kids to spell based on phonics again.


Edit: We recognize the shape as triangle, because we were taught to spell words based on how they're spelled. Seriously, people trying to teach English with phonics like they ain't heard what James Nicoll said.

I don't understand what word Chriego is supposed to be either

It's a synonym of tree uncle
