iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

occasionally people from other countries try to say there's no such thing as Australian food and to that I say,

is the 00s the first decade where the music that everyone despised is the stuff that stuck? like you don't hear captain and tenille or michael bolton or wet wet wet in the wild anymore but boy do you ever get to hear hoobastank and the calling

All these small business owners moaning about the card surcharge like it's not only been relatively recently that places have being doing it? My memory is that in about 2018 the ACCC did a big crackdown on eftpos minimums and then places started doing merchant fees instead?

now why is it that I was basically the first kid in my class whose voice broke and 2 decades later it still cracks every so often

Dunno if it's the lack of algorithm or what but seems so odd to me that every single post on the other site is about that one article but here there's nothing

is there any other country that just routinely puts out coins like this into general circulation?

my thing I learned today that's absolutely spun me out is that the evolution of whales is that they were land mammals who went back into the ocean and that the first "whale" was basically a big dog?

anyway remember when Macklemore performed at the NRL grand final and Peter Dutton said they should get someone to perform an anti-gay song for balance

Flu day nine: fuck the flu so very much

one of my mum's favourite little bits of pedantry has always been to get annoyed when people call a cold they had for 24 hours "the flu" and six days into the real thing: I understand

One of my favourite advertising algorithm things is getting a whole bunch of ads for something I've just bought or done. Do you know how many fucking Queensland tourism ads I'm getting rn

I have an almost savant level sense of direction in 99% of the places I go but something about Brisbane just completely smashes that part of my brain to pieces

Hello from Brisbane’s trackless tram thing. It's definitely nicer than the regular bus but the ride is every bit as rough

josh @punchhappiness.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I know Brisbane is hilly but holy shit could these footpaths be any less even

021

josh @punchhappiness.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

They have the gas heaters on here which is just diabolical. Queenslanders would die if exposed to one "nice" Melbourne winter day

This feels like it shouldn't be legal?

Hello from Brisbane! I have the John Farnham song where he says the illegal phrase stuck in my head

Without wanting to minimise what's alleged I'm curious about how the swans are gonna go with this wrt their whole "we're the woke club" thing. Always been convinced that it's just marketing as cynical as any other bit of advertising but I'd love to be proven wrong

The Doodle Muse did not strike today, so I made something silly instead

A blue post-it showing the face of a person wearing spectacles. Around the face are caption:

Adelaide observation: did everyone here get really into planespotting in the last six months? Every time I've gone past that car park at the end of the runway on tapleys hill road (usually at least 2x a day since I've been here) it's been absolutely buzzing with activity

I am currently on the phone with an emergency plumber and their hold music is don't worry be happy. are you fucking for real

Driving around Adelaide and I have to conclude that the extremely Adelaide version of the big build is a massive effort to widen every intersection in the city

I know it's nothing compared especially to the UK but anyone who insists there's no regional differences in Australian accents is either lying or has never met a South Australian

I think this will make it so that both times when Vic has changed premiers since I've lived here it'll be when I'm out of state lol

After spending the morning texting elderly relatives so they wouldn't get freaked out and think the government broke their phone I did not get the thing.

Forever in awe of people who still wear masks but also still wear them very incorrectly

Remembering the time my mum's boss - an obscenely wealthy businessman/doctor - went to North Korea to play master's table tennis and came back completely sold on juche

family update: I have been tasked with spending tomorrow finding fancy dollhouse furniture. If anyone has a "I am buying this for someone else" shirt I can wear while doing this that'd be great

Deliberately baked a day into my trip home next week where I had no plans or commitments so I could have some actual wind down time and somehow that day is now going to be spent at a funeral for an estranged family member that I did not like lol

why does every guy in Melbourne who rides a bike without a helmet and has an obvious substance abuse problem have the exact same facial structure

something I've never had adequately explained to me is why brisbane votes so heavily lnp at the council level and (relatively so compared to other capitals) federally but votes really overwhelmingly labor at state level

One of the places the next big rugby tournament might be is in Mexico so like a month ago out of curiosity because I'm normal I played around with how hard it is to get there without going to the US. And now every single YouTube ad I get is for airlines that fly to North America

I finally got my long lens fixed and figured I'd come to the footy to practice sports action shots and in great* news: they didn't fix it properly!

Melbourne winter level: missed my train and got the one going the other way several stops so I didn't have to sit in the cold for a second longer than necessary
