Literacy is clearly not their strong suit.

THIS is why I hate paper bags!

This is how the woolies cashier packed it. I don't drive and I can't lug extra reusable bags around with me because it's not practical. I fucking hate this trend. Bring back plastic. Everything else we use is fucking plastic.

Cheapest place to get prescription sunglasses?

Hi guys, last year I got a pair of glasses from Specsavers excited about them costing $199 and getting a pair free (I wanted sunnies). Nek minit my glasses end up costing $500 (to no fault of theirs, I got the extra anti glare thing and some coating or something I can’t remember but I was shocked by the price). But then I couldn’t even get a free pair because I would’ve had to pay an extra $200 or something?? My memory is foggy because at that stage I was barely sleeping due to my baby being up all night (who also was the one who pulled my first pair of glasses off and destroyed them lol). Anyway that aside, if anyone knows anywhere where I can get a very cheap pair of sunnies for my prescription above I’d be so grateful. I don’t understand any of the numbers or if the reason my glasses are pricey are because of my eyesight being worse than regular folks! Or would it be better for me to get contacts? Idk. At this stage they don’t need to be fancy, just anything to help me get by while driving/being outside. Tia. (Pls be nice lol).

Would it really be that hard to line up the ugly concrete side to make an attractive street wall Melbourne developers? Or at least decorate it in some way to be harmonious?

Have you seen this bread?

Has anyone seen this in store anywhere in Melbourne? Woolies website claims it’s in stock some places but it’s never actually on the shelf when you look, and I haven’t seen it in a Coles for years. Help hunting it down is greatly appreciated!

Why does the media always post these “whoopsie, bought a house” articles?

Furious over Shane Gillis' new stand up special.. Melbourne, tell me it isn't true.

He starts of his new special "Beautiful Dogs" with some jokes including Aussies and Australia which I thought were brilliant. Funniest comedy special of the year so far. Are the journalists writing these headlines because they know it will cause people to engage with the article or are they truly furious with some jokes?

UFO dug up from Fountain Gate shopping centre

There’s alot of strange things happening in the US on the topic of UFO disclosure this year. Recently whistleblower David Grusch, a high ranking airforce officer with GS15 security clearance [testified before congress](https://www.youtube.com/live/5NE9IhP5mZw?si=3F_Ce4anbx4tBijj)on the retrieval of crashed UFOs. David Grusch testified that the US has over 12 recovered non-human craft and alien biologics in its possession, as well as secret reverse engineering efforts that have been concealed from oversight by aerospace contractors. In addition to David Gruschs claims, senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer introduced bipartisan legislation in July called [“Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act of 2023’’ or the ‘‘UAP Disclosure Act of 2023’’. The legislation is super weird and mentions non-human intelligence 22 times aswell as crashed craft](https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/4101345-non-human-intelligence-schumer-proposes-stunning-new-ufo-legislation/) Only time will tell if these unusual inferences will materialise into evidence backed disclosure that we share our planet with other intelligent beings. Tonight when scrolling twitter, I stumbled on a rather odd news paper article from a local Berwick newspaper from 2001. The article goes into unusual details about the interruption to construction work of an extension to Fountain Gate because the builders claimed to have unexpectedly dug up a buried UFO in the spot where the fountain gate hotel is now located. I was very surprised to see story like this make it’s way into the paper. What perks my interest even more, is that in David Gruschs claims, he mentions that some of the craft in US possession were ancient and were the result of archaeological digs. There isn’t a lot of information on this event online besides a now unavailable article written by the herald sun. I live super close to FG and want to know more! I figured it would be fun to post the article up here on r/Melbourne to see who knows what. Maybe the sub will be keen on a ‘don’t fuck with cats’ type investigation to dig into the case? If there’s merit to the story, someone will know someone that knows something. Digital cameras were very much a thing in 01 and if the builders truly dig up something other worldly, I would put money on it that there’s photos somewhere. First things first, we need to figure out who the builder was? Are you, or do you know a tradie that worked on the 2001 extension of Fountain gate? Are you a cop or military and were called to the site? Are you a random who knows more about this story?? Dig in because if there’s truth to the tale, good old Narre could blow the lid off the UFO mystery and produce the photographic evidence every one has been asking for! ✌🏼 🛸 👽

Is this a pedestrian crossing? Local Coles. Cars don't stop. Local FB group says it is to guide pedestrians. Are cars obliged to give way here?

Went to Melbourne in April of this year and out of all shop names, this one stood out to me the most:

Help to find owner for this cat’s collar found in Spotswood. If you recognize it, please let me know as they likely experienced an unfortunate animal incident. It was found surrounded by a lot of fur and hair. If you recognize this please pass on my message and my sincere condolences.
