For a foreigner browsing 'All' : what's a 'democracy sausage'?
Edit: by the power of Internet search engines https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_sausage
The drongo in the first pic doesn't even have onions! After the no vote winning, I'm not sure I can also handle that picture being on the The wiki page!
Onions do make Democracy Sausages taste better, but some people don’t like onions and some people can’t have onions.
The whole point of Democracy is that we get to choose!
Unless you want a Vegan sausage…
Thank you, I immediately went from "the fuck?" to "ugh, 'muricans", then I saw the magazine and got actually interested.
We are increasingly America-lite, after all...
As I was witheringly told by an American lecturer a decade ago when I bitched about Oz becoming the 51st state.
"Don't get too big for your boots son. The 51st state is Canada and if you're lucky you might squeak in at 60 after we've sorted Puerto Rico, Guam Mexico and whichever Middle Eastern countries seem like a good idea"
I don't quite understand, I couldn't see a magazine.
Just to be sure, it is an Aussie thing...
Magazine is just kbin term for community.
Ah, that makes so much more sense... I went looking for a pic of a mag on the wiki link... nothing!
I was so confused, sorry for doubting you dear kbinner
I refuse to believe that that's a real thing. It's just aussies being aussies and messing with the rest of the world again. It's that dropbear shit all over again
How dare you, the dropbear is a deadly predator and this sort of misinformation costs dozens of tourists their lives every year!
The democracy sausage underpins our nation, without it we’d have fallen to the commies.
Hail the democracy sausage 🔥
