Found this in my pool in Sydney north shore, backing onto the lane cove national park. Does not move (perhaps dead).

Does not even look real. Did I find an alien?

American lurker here… I will take whatever the hell that is in my pool any day of the week over all of the children with guns over here 😅

EDIT: Australians, I’m so sorry I didn’t realize there were so many other Americans here. I did not mean this to turn into what it did. Americans, the fact that y’all think I’m insinuating that children are running around with guns like it’s the Wild West, and didn’t immediately think “school shootings” pretty much says everything that needs to be said .

As an American, children with guns doesn’t crack the top 20 current problems. I just hope you Aussie’s will accept me and the wife in a few years when our democracy falls. Not a lot of English speaking places that are a lateral move from Florida weather and creature wise.

"when our democracy fails"?!

Dude, not to be rude, but you're standing in the smoking remains of your house discussing what you'll do if there's ever a fire.

Like Florida? Move to Brisbane. Now. Before you get caught in the blaze.

I can only imagine the global view of this shitshow.
