I thought we were just having an enjoyable and lighthearted conversation about baking and cultural differences, I think everything you said is fine 😊

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

I wouldn’t go back to someone who says a vaccine with a 90-97% effective rate for 10 years is a waste of time

Oh, and this is another thing about NZ culture, we often have long drawn out off topic discussions in someone else’s thread 😆😬 Sorry George!

As someone who works in a profession where old ladies often bring us baking, I can assure you that slices can be rectangular 😃

Seven years on, it's finally public knowledge that Neo-Nazi Wargus Christi, Dominion Movement and Action Zealandia co-founder Jack Captein/Johann Wolfe is the New Zealand Army soldier that is currently imprisoned for attempting espionage. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/crime/jac...

The gall of Luxon saying that Te Aka Whai Ora / Māori Health Authority didn't achieve anything when his govt disestablished it so quickly. #nzpol Oh, and now he's saying that Three Waters was divisive! Gaaaah!!!

I think so but I’m not sure if it is just my perspective

still odd how giant new zealand outlets like 1NEWS report on a story like this, going out of their way to minimize webworm's involvement. to be clear: we led the reporting, & there WOULD BE NO REPORTING if we hadn't broken the story after a year of research: www.webworm.co/multiverse/

Not that you’d have baking every day but often celebrations or appreciation days will take the form of a morning or afternoon tea. Also, morning and afternoon tea (with or without the baking) are an important break in the day where you can sit informally with colleagues to catch up over a cuppa.

Lamingtons are deceptively simple because the sponge is the star and can be tricky to cut into squares, coat in the cocoa powder or rasberry gelatine icing, and roll in dessicated coconut without the whole thing falling to bits or having dry, bland cake. A perfect lamington is perfect.

Sarah @notsailingalone.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I think slices could be called bars but are a little different. Slices (or ginger crunch) often have a dense baked base (but not always) with a thick icing that sets on top. But I think bar is close enough that you get the idea. I think Golden Syrup is the key to the difference to NZ baking.

Sarah @notsailingalone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

In NZ, tea is the evening meal. Morning tea and afternoon tea are the breaks at those times. We don’t have cucumber sandwiches. We might, if we’re lucky, have lamingtons and ginger slice.

I’m sorry to inform you, Malcolm, but holocaust fiction has been a very popular genre for a long time. Many of our old people are reading nothing but holocaust nonfiction and fiction with the occasional abandoned, abused, and neglected child nonfiction and fiction.

Read Maria Semple’s Go Gentle. It’s hilarious, devastating, and batshit. And addresses this.
