Australia has a somewhat threadbare welfare state, though is more of a social democracy than the UK. And snakes and spiders are easier to avoid than Tories.
You are several orders of magnitude more likely to be killed by another human than an animal or insert in Australia.
Well that just makes sense.
Through selection pressures the only surviving Australians are highly venomous.
Africa is harder than Australia. Not even close.
Parts of Africa are definitely better than parts of medium tier
I’m gonna be real with you all, I’m in Australia and it’s a little embarrassing how hard you think we have it over here compared to the shit I’ve heard from other places. Like don’t fuck with the animals and don’t put your hands in areas you can’t see and you’re golden. I’ve had to deal with random violence like three times in my 34 years here. It’s pretty alright here.
You can’t fool me. I’ve seen your videogame prices.
One of the reasons stuff costs more in Australia is that there’s significantly more consumer protection. Steam originally didn’t allow refunds at all, and were fined AU$3 million as a result.
In Australia, it’s illegal to say “no refunds” or only exchange or refund as store credit both for physical and digital goods, and customers are always allowed to get a repair, refund or replacement if the product has issues. In the case of a game, that would be things like:
- Game breaking bugs or bug that significantly affects the experience but don’t completely break the game
- Changes that make the game behave significantly differently to how it was originally described on the site or in the documentation
- Games that initially support Linux but the company dropped Linux support later on, etc.
Steam’s policy of only refunding a purchase within 14 days of purchase and less than 2 hours of play time is also not legal in Australia. You can’t have conditions like that on a refund policy. They have a separate refund policy specifically for Australia which excludes the 14 day / 2 hour limits.
Appliances also have to last for as long as a ‘reasonable consumer’ thinks they should last. For example, even if your TV or fridge has a “1 year warranty”, the manufacturer will still have to repair, refund, or replace it if it breaks down in 3 years, as a regular person would assume that a fridge or TV should last more than 3 years. The store or manufacturer has to cover the cost of picking it up and delivering a replacement. It’s also illegal for a store to tell you that you have to contact the manufacturer - the place you bought the product from has to let you handle all warranty claims through them.
huh. that actually makes it sound worth it.
Mexico is so hard-as-fuck that was not included in the list.
Really? How displaced is your view if you consider the USA easy mode?
Also, fuck Mexico. Apparently.
Haven’t you heard? Mexico doesn’t exist it is just drawn on the map to make people think that Canada and The United States are to the rest of the American Continent. Everyone who says they are from Mexico are just paid actors. /s
Also they left out New Zealand, which will not come as a surprise for New Zealanders. They will probably be happy that they are even on the map.
I can confirm that, I’m being paid to said I’m Mexican 🌮 viva México!!
they pay me with tacos btw
and canada, USA plus canada is easy mode. Australia is on some shit right now, they deserve it.
IDK what the others are except for europe and africa, which, yeah that’s about right. Africa is a hot fucking minute away from some spicy shit at the moment, and the other one is probably the same.
What?
The Galapagos deserves its own level at the top of this. It’s literally, “don’t eat any green apples you find on the island, okay?”
