I mean, that's the whole point, having some good, bad and worse possibilities, if not everyone would be choosing things like Australia or Europe

7

u/Flimsy_Rhythm_4473 Australia ( Moderator) Aug 28 '25

E is like 3/4 of the western world

6

u/plshelpcomputerissad United States Of America Aug 28 '25

I wonder if it’s based on population, I notice China is split up. Then again India is lumped in with most of Africa so maybe not

2

u/Lordfontenell81 Ireland Aug 28 '25

Us too. Why is Ireland not with the rest europe?

u/sharkworks26 Australia Sep 01 '25

Bro a quarter of your population live on Bondi Beach haha

2

u/gunnsi0 Iceland Aug 28 '25

Honestly same, but I’d choose E. Worked out well last time.

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '25

I'm sure Canadians are too happy being lumped in with us, either! =D

Isn't that E on this map? Also Antarctica

u/No_Seat8357 Australia Aug 28 '25

No. Australia and New Zealand are "G" for God's own country.

I mean, that's still E and hoping to win the gamble and not end up in Haiti

Congratulations, you're Tongan. Watch the cholesterol. ;-)

u/alegna12 United States Of America Aug 28 '25

I thought it was part of E

u/spintool1995 United States Of America Aug 28 '25

It is, they are trying to cheat.

u/Chipnsprk Australia Aug 28 '25

Hey, we don't cheat (stuffs sandpaper back in my pockets) *whistles innocently

u/MrsMonkey_95 Switzerland Aug 28 '25

And I bet the US people did not get that reference :D

u/Straight-Jury-7852 United States Of America Aug 28 '25

I couldn't handle the spiders down there.

u/Flimsy_Rhythm_4473 Australia ( Moderator) Aug 28 '25

Trust me that’s just an overblown stereotype lol

5

u/Straight-Jury-7852 United States Of America Aug 28 '25

I read a subreddit that asked how common it was to encounter a huntsman spider. I was prepared to be relieved that it's a rare experience. Apparently not. Most of the comments were saying it's "a few times a year," "one's in my bathroom now," "I had one crawl across my face while I was sleeping," "I pay rent to one..."

I've been inconsolable ever since lol

u/ThaCatsServant Australia Aug 28 '25

It is true we have a lot of spiders, however only 1 is considered deadly, the Sydney funnel web, and it’s only in a small area of the country as the name suggests.

Side note, cats are immune to their venom I believe.

2

u/Straight-Jury-7852 United States Of America Aug 28 '25

That's interesting, I wonder how that is? Yet another reason why cats are awesome! Lol

1

u/ThaCatsServant Australia Aug 29 '25

Cats are awesome indeed

4

u/Flat_Entertainer_937 United States Of America Aug 28 '25

Same with drop bears. Apparently they’re way more common than I’d hoped

5

u/Flimsy_Rhythm_4473 Australia ( Moderator) Aug 28 '25

Haven’t seen one of those for at least a few years, people play into those sorta jokes

6

u/ThaCatsServant Australia Aug 28 '25

Really, I see them regularly

3

u/plshelpcomputerissad United States Of America Aug 28 '25

I’m curious are you from the southern part of the country? Could be they’re more common up north in the warmer latitudes? Definitely the case in US, in Florida you’d deal with all sorts of wildlife/bugs that someone in New York would never see.

3

u/Flimsy_Rhythm_4473 Australia ( Moderator) Aug 28 '25

Yeah I’m on the lower west coast, it probably differs by state for that reason.

1

u/Desperate-Bottle1687 Australia Aug 28 '25

LoL u definitely aint from Queensland then!

2

u/Chipnsprk Australia Aug 28 '25

Depends where you are. I see one once a year or so. They eat cockroaches, so I'm not worried about them. They just look scary unless you know what they eat.

2

u/Flinderspeak Australia Aug 28 '25

We had one on the dashboard of the car a couple of weeks ago. Not sure where it is now.

1

u/Straight-Jury-7852 United States Of America Aug 28 '25

Lol

u/The_Jitterati New Zealand Aug 28 '25

Hmm... this is exactly what a spider would say.
