Daily Discussion Thread: Fri 07 Jul 2023

Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.

This post is brought to you by Bot #001. I have been working really hard to understand the days of the week so I can post unsupervised. Today is Taco Tuesday!! I know it is, because I was paying attention when @halibutherring said so.

  • Heading down the Bellarine today on the train/bus

    The only thing I dread about the 3hr-sh trip is getting through the CBD.

    • Podcasts - Stuff you Should Know. Listen to the one about Ping Pong - really very interesting

      • Sports Bizarre do a really good couple of episodes on table tennis. Very interesting.

      • My favourites ATM are:

        Behind the Bastards, which is hosted by an ex-cracked member where they go into the history of the shittiest people ever alive.

        Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff, which is just the opposite of Behind the Bastards and is on the same network.

        Bad Gays, similar to BtB but about suspected and known LGBTQIA+ folks. I think there's some episodes of both Bad Gays and BtB where they've discussed the same person.

        The Opportunists, sort of similar to BtB but it's more about like grifters and such.

        Forgotten Australia, podcast about moments in Australian history.

        Maintence Phase and Fad Camp, both podcasts focus on diet culture, wellness, that sort of stuff.

        The Weekly Planet, two Australian guys just talk about movies, comics, tv shows and video games. They have a YouTube channel on one of the host's channel, Mr Sunday Movies where they usually put up the main review of a movie, and on Fridays (or Thursdays) they have Weekly Caravan of Garbage. Where they talk about a movie or tv show, they're not all bad... But most are.

        I have a whole bunch more but those are the ones I really vibe with.

        • I like Forgotten Australia. There's one called Grave Tales Australia that's similar but shorter stories.
