Apparently, The Land Down Under Doesn't Exist...

The mysterious American Kangaroo.

Does America Have a Secret Kangaroo Population?

The referenced article ignores the large number of cases where privately owned animals have been released accidentally or intentionally when the owners find they can no longer care for the animals and they choose not to call the proper authorities or dispatch it themselves. for example,

Emus roaming the area of Shawnee National Forest

Hmmm. The longer this thread goes on, the more I think I should have posted it in the Jokes/Games forum...

Maybe if a Mod could notice and move it????

Looks like its been moved bit no "moved to" notice yet

The other way you can tell so called "New Zealanders" are poorly constructed bots is to simply ask them. They'll instantly deny being bots, which is, of course, what any simple bot impersonating a real human WOULD do, thus exposing themselves as second rate fakes. QED.

Hahaha. Google "the Emu War". Those things will take over your country and there's nothing you can do about it! Once the emus are holding the territory, under international law it officially becomes part of Australia. Invasive emus is how we're gunna conquer the world

 

[Kangaroo Feathers]

Been, its definitely there and its no joke. Wonderful place, well the places ive been. Never been stuck in the outback, don't suppose that us wonderful. Or funnel web spiders either for that matter?

Of course Australia is wonderful. New Zealand is the joke you can't actually visit. The Hobbits and elves and dragons really should have made it obvious that it's imaginary.

Well... to be fair, New Zealand isn't a "joke"... people like and enjoy jokes

Pretty tough talk from a country that is only a hoax!

this fact-checking site investigates the internet claims that Australia is all one big hoax...

I wasn't sure if this should go here in discussion of science and technology, or under jokes/games/etc...

I'm pretty well convinced that the place is real...how about you?

Australia: World's biggest hoax?

I mean, I've been to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.... Sooooo, I'm pretty sure the place exists. But who knows *shrug*.

You know, when I clicked the link I thought it would be some kind of joke article like the onion. I don't want to be a member of this species anymore.

I have more evidence that Jesus rose from the dead than Australia exists.
At least, more people around me claim that Jesus rose from the Dead and they have evidence, than claim that Australia exists and produce evidence.

Maybe agumentum ad popu something is a logical fallacy? I don't know much Latin.

[Vinayaka]

Obviously Australia is a myth. The proof is in that nonsensical animal, the kangaroo. That thing is about as logical as a pretzel loop snake.

 

[Brickjectivity]

I believe it's real because otherwise, several RF members would be fibbing to us.

Airlines, too. Actually it might not be our memberships fault. Anyways its personal opinion, and if you believe in Australia in your heart who am I to object?

Australia: World's biggest hoax?

I've been saying for many years that Australiastan doesn't exist.
- The animals claimed to inhabit it are fanciful inventions.
- The claimed location is in the middle of nowhere...how convenient.
- The accent is just a parody of lower class Brits.
- No one would really eat Vegemite.

Seriously!
Who would believe that a billed mammal laying eggs actually exists?

Religionists, who believe whatever they're told to believe, that's who.

Sure, sure, Australiastan exists in literature.
For example....

But being a country on The Simpsons doesn't make it real.

Besides....could a country really be filled with such stupid people?
Accepting a call from the International Drainage Commission....criminy.

Of course it doesn't exist.
It's hoax!

And all them silly animals they photo-shop ........ you'd have to be bonkers to believe in any of it.

Then Brigadoon must exist too, eh.

The accent is just a parody of lower class Brits.

No brit of any class would say cobber or fair dinkum.

To a brit the Ozzie accent sounds like upper class american ;-)

This is further evidence that Australiastan is an invention.

But you're wrong about accents.
This is upper class Americanian speech....

Btw, at about 40 sec, they refer to that
fake country, the "little island", Australiastan.
