      I’ve done didgeridooie

      We found a prosthetic leg in the park and my mate did a legie from it

      Less disgusting than allowing children to be slaughtered so that feeble excuses for men can own firearms to compensate for their inadequacies

      Less disgusting than the genocide in Palestine

      Less disgusting than Uighurs being used for slave labour because of their religion

      There are many disgusting things in the world, this is light-hearted fun

        Ah yes, the two choices: drinking beer from a shoe or committing genocide.

        I get that you’re upset about these things, but they don’t really have anything to do with this post.

        Even the comment you’re replying to is asserting a different kind of disgusting.

          I’m Australian, and people often seize the shoey as a way of telling me that we’re all uncivilised filth

          It’s a sore spot, especially when it’s just a laugh

          I’ve never actually done a shoey

            To be fair, the Aussies that are doing shoeys are uncivilised filth. Ive also done a ton of shoeys and they are disgusting, you can taste the shoe.

            I get that you dislike the stereotype, but it still doesn’t have anything to do with the issues you listed.
