This is like the 10th horrible thing I've heard about australia...I'm trying not to judge, but...
The first account of the "Meanwhile in" meme appeared sometime in February 2010. A flipped image of a Holden Commodore (a very common Australian-made sedan) with the caption "Meanwhile in Australia" appeared on 4chan via /b/ board. The image alluded to the age-old joke that everything in Australia is "upside-down" (due to its southern hemisphere location), and the new meme quickly went viral across imageboard sites, blog networks and aggregator services. Since then, multiple variations with other countries and their stereotypes have been posted.

Janine B. 6 years ago (edited)
Folks, this is not about men in ladies bathrooms. It's about gender equality. So people who don't feel like they belong to the one sex or the other or who don't look rather male or female can use the bathroom as anyone else. Which means without being offended by "concerned" people or without people gaping at them. It's just about tolerance so calm down everyone.

Why do some people always equate 'trans' or 'non-binary' with 'pervert'?! Bloody idiots! No one said you have to tolerate unacceptable behaviour, just have some respect for people going about their everyday LEGAL business. No pun intended.
Before there was the internet and memes there were books. This meme originates from a much older expression "Meanwhile, back at the X," a plot transition technique that is as old as Homer. It rose to popularity in the nineteenth century, when most novels were serialized in popular magazines.

The sentence literally means "thank you for your cooperation for keeping the bathroom clean", which really means "don't get the bathroom dirty".
comboplush 6 years ago
This needs to be a cross stitch and hung above the toilet in every bathroom.
This literary strategy made its way to film and was used in silent movies when transitions were achieved through title cards interspersed between scenes. In the earliest days, studios didn’t make custom cards for each new movie, but instead used a set of stock cards: “One Year Later,” “Comes the Dawn,” and most famously “Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch” were the cards used when the action cutaway.

Radio programs took on the phrase as well for their popular Western programs - such as The Lone Ranger. "During the course of a battle between settlers and Indians or cowboys and outlaws, there would be a flashback to the ranch preceded by the caption (or radio message), “Meanwhile, back at the ranch.” The phrase became part of the common lexicon and was used in casual conversation. During Lyndon Johnson’s presidency (1963–69), according to William Safire, the phrase was used to refer to activities at the LBJ Ranch in Texas.

While not everyone knows the origin, this phrase has evolved to take on a meaning all its own. According to Robert Hendrickson, author of the "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" (Facts on Files, New York, 1997) says: "meanwhile, back at the ranch. An expression that originated as a movie caption in the silent film era at the beginning of the century, these words are used humorously today when someone wants to get back to a story after going off on a tangent."

Asians are more susceptible to heart disease than most other races due to genetics. While someone of African or European heritage may be able to carry 30 extra pounds without much issue, people of Asian heritage are more likely to develop serious health issues. This is because Asians generally have a higher percentage of body fat than other races with the same BMI. They are so if you have four people in a room with a BMI of 25, an Asian is more likely to develop diabetes or cardiovascular disease than the other people in the room because they generally will have a higher amount of fat than the African, European, and South American people in the room. This is why people are shocked about how thin Asians are and their definition of what fat is.

I google-mapped it and went to streetview. It seems that there is a casino-slots bussiness called "Haspenna". Someone might think that this means "House of Pennis" in Icelandic. And because of the type of bussiness (casino), you cannot see the inside of the building. The bussiness is also colored in "manly" black paint. From the outside it looks more like a penis musuem than the actual one. Also the logo of the actual musuem looks more like a flower than a penis.

NOTHING they can do will stop it, and if you are still at home, you are risking their lives by being there.

Maybe Trump should go over there and gift them with his expert knowledge of rakes. It would be a shame if a crocodile took one for the team and ate him.

This happened to a friend. She said a fellow teacher ran into the school to say he'd hit a bird on the way in and it was stuck in his truck grill. He thought it might be dead. The on-duty Sheriff's Deputy went out to check. When the owner of the truck came out, the officer had put "crime scene, do not cross" tape around the bird still stuck in the grill. The officer turned to the teacher and said "I'm afraid I have some bad news....."

Parmeisan 6 years ago
A friend of mine got sick and puked in our actual sink. Don't do it, people. If you can't use a Puke Sink (TM) use the toilet.
DE Ray 6 years ago
Puking in the sink generally isn't a problem if you remember to turn on the tap before you fill the basin with vomit. If the water is running, it dilutes it enough to go down relatively cleanly.

It is a vehicle for public transport called Auto Rickshaw in India. It is mostly expensive than public transport bus but cheaper than a taxi cab car. One pictured here is without body, seats and a canopy. This one here is probably being moved from one repair shop to another repair shop. when completed it looks like blue one in front of it in top left corner.

You need fresh 3 towels just to get in your car from March thru October. 1. 0ne to touch the door handles and open all the doors to let the trapped heat out. 2. One to drape over the steering wheel so you can hang on to it. 3. One to cover the seat so you can sit on it. Even cloth upholstery is too hot to sit on, and towels that were already in the car are too hot to use for any of these purposes.
Tiffany Marie 6 years ago
Yeah Az is hot. I got a lot of 3rd degree sunburns staying outside for only 2 -4 hours as a kid. Scars on my shoulders from it. ... I moved when I turned 18. I enjoy colder climates now. I've become sensitive to heat.
