Snag - Aussie for sausage. Bunnings have sausage sizzles. NOT a hotdog.
AND the sausage sizzle is traditionally the event, not the product.
Yeah, exactly.
Though hot dogs as Americans know them are also what we call hot dogs.
@swingsloth my favourite sausage is the Democracy Sausage. We need more elections. I just love the school sausage sizzle at each election.
@@kevinfrancis1583 democracy sausage is the only enticement I need to vote. If only the yanks knew the luxury...
We also have american-style hotdogs in fresh baked bakery breadrolls with spicy lamb sausage, grated cheese, chopped fried onion, minced bacon, chili sauce... those ain't bad.
A few years ago I had a flat tyre in a shopping centre (Brisbane) carpark late at night. I had just gotten the jack and spare tyre out when a group of young girls and guys came past. Two of them came over and in a very short time finished the job. I mentioned how well they were doing it and the two guys said their job was doing this. In no time, they put everything back tidily in my boot and were gone catching up with the rest of their group before I even had a chance to thank them. I am in my 70s and could have changed the tyre, but was very impressed with the way they did it all quickly and were gone not expecting anything. :)
Any American calling a Bunnings snag a ”hot dog” will likely be arrested and deported if they’re visiting here, or permanently barred from entering the country if not.
Let’s go through the basic facts of Aussie life: a “snag” is a sausage. Commonly a beef sausage, but could be pork or lamb or whatever. When you wrap something in a slice of bread or put it between slices of bread, it’s a sandwich. Cheese sandwich, peanut butter sandwich, salad sandwich, ham sandwich, or sausage sandwich. There is nothing else which is a sandwich. A sandwich is also known as a “sanger” or “sanga”.
You saw a photo of a Bunnings sausage sandwich. Or Bunnings sausage sanger. Or Bunnings snag sanger. Some people just call it a Bunnings sausage. Or Bunnings snag. All these are the same things. It is not, and never will be, a hot dog unless it’s in a long bread roll or hot dog bun.
See sausage sizzle for more content 😂
Even if it was in a hotdog bun, it still wouldn't be a hotdog due to the massive differences between a beef sausage and a frankfurt.
And it’s not an actual sausage!
@@SnowyRVulpixEven a frankfurt is way better than a hot dog!
Bunnings provide barbecue, sausages, sauce, bread & onions for fundraising groups. They’re very popular.
Come on Ryan. You’ve been an honorary Aussie for a while now, you should know what a Bunnings Snag is.
Not unless he's seen it in a video. You may like to be helpful and suggest one for him
You could look up “democracy sausage”, too. Good info.
@@Fiona-zc6oz I can think of at least 4-5 videos Ryans has reacted to with sausage sizzles, snags and Bunnings Sausages sizzles in them - so he knows :)
@@Fiona-zc6oz I’ve been following Ryan for over a year now and he has done vids on them before. He’s not well and probably forgot.
Cmon Ryan
It's a snag, not a hot dog
That's not a hot dog, it's a sausage in bread.
Aussie sausages/snags are bought from the same section in the supermarket as steak, chicken and other raw cuts of meat that are displayed in trays wrapped in plastic wrap. They are totally raw before they are bbq'd/grilled and are soft, floppy and pasty before cooking. When cooked they are hearty, flavourful and juicy and I can't think of a comparison food that the US might have. American hot dogs are pre-cooked from factory, can be eaten without heating and have a texture of fritz/devon/luncheon/bologna and yes Australia has them too...we used to just call them frankfurts/saveloys and in the last twenty years we started having US style skinless franks/hotdogs.
Hotdogs (the bread roll and sausage with mustard and sauce) are a thing in Australia but aren't very popular but they do have them in nearly every takeaway shop...with mustard and sauce or with the lot which includes bacon, onion and cheese.
Very thorough description. Thanks.
Edit:
When my daughter’s old school had sizzles, we’d bill the snags first to make sure there were NO half-raw ones, then just brown them up on the barbie.
EDIT: BOIL! Not bill. Stupid autocorrect.
Sausages are only pasty if you buy the nasty cheap ones that have sawdust as most of their filler
@@tamarapetrov4990
The meaty ones that look a liitle like mince inside are not really snags, they are European style sausages.
Thin beef bbq and pork thick sausages are the typical snag served at sizzles and basic bbq's.
@@stevenbalekic5683 I was speaking of the cheap yellow/orange pasty snags you get at Coles and Woolies. They're not sausages...if you think that you've been eating cr*p all your life. I guess it depends how rich the area is as to what they sell at the sizzles... I've seen it with the Democracy Sausages in various areas....But i've worked in a butchery... those yellow things are not sausages, but waste meat product with fillers. You really think good meat is that colour?
@@tamarapetrov4990
I don't remember saying they were good or that they were quality...just like no one believes American hotdogs are good or ouality.
And Bunnings does indeed use Coles sausages at the sausage sizzles.
Not many people will buy quality sausages in Australia because they would rather just buy steak or chops because sausages all have additives, fillers and inferior meat cuts.
Hi Ryan, Bunnings is like Home Depot. One of the iconic things about it is that community groups (footy clubs, kindergartens, schools etc) have a "sausage sizzle" outside on weekends to raise funds. This is a sausage +/- onions +/- tomato sauce (ketchup) on white bread. Yes, snag is slang for sausage, so this is a play on words. The onion thing is a bit controversial. At one stage, Bunnings, in a fit of OH&S overzealousness decided that the onions have to go under the snag rather than on top because it is more likely to fall off and cause a potential slipping hazard if it goes on top of the snag. I believe that common sense subsequently prevailed and freedom of onion position has been enshrined in the constitution.
😂😂😂 I’m Australian and had no idea about onion controversy
Nope, many also put them on rolls. In fact, I've never seen placed between bread.
@@kevin_mitchell Interesting, never seen it in a roll at Bunnings. Maybe it varies by region?
@@michaelfink64 Yes, it would vary by region. As a side note, it doesn't look as appealing in a slice of bread as opposed to a roll. It looks like the fillings would drip and spill out easier, making it messier to handle.
@@kevin_mitchell Yes, but at least in Victoria, this is the classic version. Has to be crappy white bread, too.
Most school children in Australia have uniforms.
I was on the side of a (residential but through) road with a flat tyre about 6pm, twilight. I know how to, and have changed tyres, but I was a week out of a cast for a broken wrist, so had no chance. Called the NRMA.
Lovely people from the house where I was parked came out to see if they could help. They proudly told me that they were newly naturalised citizens, having migrated from Vietnam five years ago. They had applied as soon as they were eligible.
After 90 minutes, an NRMA guy drove past, slowed, put his head out the window and called "I'll be back." It was now full dark.
The people from the house came out again, bringing me a very yummy sandwich and a bottle of water. Still no NRMA.
Another ten minutes, a late-20s guy pulled up, asked the question, and proceeded to change the tyre. Chatting with him as he fixed the tyre, he was on his way home from work. He and his wife were going to set things up for the party for their four-year-old twin daughters' birthday the next day.
After he finished, I tried to give him money, he refused, until I told him to buy something for his girls since I'd kept their daddy from them. He waited until I drove off to make sure all was right.
I was home when the NRMA called, over three hours since my call. This the only time in many years that they'd let me down btw.
Aussies are some beautiful people.
Maybe because the service was busy? their servicepeople and vehicles cover a wide area, and many country ones are operated by the local mechanic workshops as contractors.
@@belleriffraff Yes, it was very unusual. I wasn’t meaning to NRMA bash. I live 15 mins from Sydney CBD, I’m a gold member, so I’m supposed to and usually do get priority service that is professional, courteous and prompt. Not get left on the side of the road in the dark and cold, in pain (because I couldn’t take pain killers for my wrist while driving), for 3+ hours, as it would have been. Where I was, he could only have been coming to me, but for some reason he left, and for a very long time. They were very apologetic on the phone when they eventually did ring to say he would be there in 15 mins, and I explained that a kind stranger had taken care of the matter. That call was after 9pm.
But the point of my story was just one instance in my life of the kindness of Aussies to a stranger.
Not a hotdog. Charities and school sporting teams sell a snag on bread to raise funds, usually at Bunnings. Sometimes they will add cooked onion.
Snag is slang for sausage
Ryan, your accent is sounding more English with every day!
Sausage sizzle, AKA a snag sanger.
You can tell the cup fad has come from the U.S. by the massive size. The average Australian wouldn’t drink that much of anything.
@@amygone2pot Very true! I just don’t understand the Americans wanting free refills, where are they putting all that liquid? 350ml is my limit for at least an hour. Plus the best insulated mugs are not en masse at Kmart or Target. They come from top brands and cost way more than $15 but you only need to invest in one good one and it will last you for life!
I'm in WA, I met a dude LAST WEEK drinking coffee out of one of those, who needs that much coffee!?
BEER!
@@mizpahshearer1659 true - I forgot about beer!
The love for Stanley cups will dwindle as the teens grow up unlike Stanley knives that have been around for decades and essential for many tradies.. We're very KEEN on these knives.
My nieces love of Stanley cups is bordering madness levels. She has one in every colour, with one of every top colour, and makes sure to mix and match as her mood dictates. Pink body, green lid? She's feeling zesty and snarky. Blue cup, yellow lid? Feeling a bit sad and lonely. Same colour for lid and cup? Out of sorts and grumpy. You can tell how she's feeling by what cup is currently with her, though sometimes she mixes it up even more and carries extra lids with her to swap around when she feels like.
I have a feeling we're going to be dealing with a lot of craziness once she hits her full teen years (she's just turned 12). As for how she got so many of these cups? It's all she wanted for her birthday and Christmas last year. She has 6 uncles, 3 aunts, both sets of grandmothers, one grandfather, two great grandmothers, a grand uncle and a plethora of assorted adopted family members. Between all of us, she somehow managed. Girl is MOTIVATED. She was hitting everybody up like we were on a rollerdex. Never underestimate the power of a pre-teen who does well in school and knows that's going to reflect well on her to the family. Helps that she's very charming, sweet and kind, and a hell of a go-getter.
I remember when my daughter said Box cutter and I thought What the heck is that, because I only know them as Stanley knives XD My Dad was a carpenter, so I only knew the metal ones growing up. They are still the best, decades later
G' day Ryan. I love watching your contenr, you have quite a few aussies, following you. Im from Qld, Australia, and i love seeing our country through your eyes. Things we take for granted here is so new and fresh for you. Where will you be visiting first when you and your family visit our beautiful country. You are so cute trying to pronounce our slang words. ❤ i love it,
Ok Ryan. You should really know this by now, however........Bunnings stores usually have fundraiser tents outside their stores on the weekends with their "sausage sizzles", and it's not a hot dog at all. It's a grilled (usually beef) sausage placed in a white piece of bread (traditionally) with some sort of tomato sauce and onions. The sausages are also called "snags", hence, the "we've hit a snag" error message, which also translates to "we've had a problem" (probably coming from the terms when a boat has hit a "snag" in the water). And also, First!!! And also 15:37 American version is an "Opossum", not a "Possum". They are definitely different, just to be clear!
Great explanation. I'd just suggest 'with tomato or BBQ sauce' as a BBQ sauce lover. Cheers,
@@Bellas1717 Hahaha! Of course. That was so remiss of me!
Why should he know it unless he's seen it in a video? You may like to be nicer and more helpful and suggest something to him
@@Fiona-zc6oz Just saying that he's been watching a crap-load of Australia videos, so I would assume that he would really know by now. Not being nasty, just assuming with all his Aussie reaction vids. PLUS! I didn't shame him, just thought he should know by now. THEN I explained the whole sausage sizzle process to him to HELP him. So jog on, Fiona.
Ryan repeats the same misinformation over and over. It's all part of a scam to get more comments. The more comments, the better as far as the you tube algorithm is concerned.😢
SAUSAGE SIZZLE....traditional Fund Raiser. First customers usually are seagulls.
That's a sausage sizzle not a hot dog 😂😂 love the channel ❤
Sausage sandwich actually. Sausage sizzle is the event
Why does he keep calling the sausage sizzle a hotdog?! Why must he hurt me so????
If a kid is going crazy on the plane and the parents are ignoring it. Get the whole family off the plane. Its not the kid thats untrained. That ones down to the parents.
Ryan, a sausage sizzle is not a flaming Hotdog, different thing all together
You can smell the onions cooking at Bunnings fundraising stands - it’s a sausage snag delicious better than a hotdog
The funniest thing about sausage sizzles is that once you throw the onions on the BBQ, the queue generates itself. You can smell them from pretty far off and the smell stimulates the appetite. You just HAVE to drop by and grab a snag. Perfect food for fundraisers.
A sausage is fried on a hot plate, a hot dog is red & boiled then put in a hot dog bun... 😊
A snag is Australian for sausage. Also, online snag means interruption like a fisherman "snagging " his line. A sausage (snag) can be beef, pork, lamb, chicken but a hotdog is mad3 from mystery meat ( still taste good).
Sausage sizzle with a slice of bread, sausage onion (snag), onion,sauces, (tomato sauce barbecue sauce Mustard are optional
Best snack on the planet. Had it for breakfast this morning. Afterwards a bowl of watermelon chunks
Converting American to Metric… doesn’t work when recipes call for a ‘stick of butter’. We don’t have ‘sticks’. We just have pats (250gms or 500gms size).
Bunnings Snag.
Just a sausage in bread. We call them snags. They're basic as but awesome.
In rolls - not bread!
Why propagate misinformation?
To be clear, they can be in either, but to assume that everywhere in Australia is the same as where you live is worse coming from an Australian that should know better than from an American that gets their misinformation from reddit and propagated in the comments section that should know better.
Our Hot Dogs are boiled sausages made from pork products. Our Sausages are made from Beef known as Snags and are our BBQ favorite. They are either fried or grilled. Eaten in a slice of buttered bread with Tomato sauce and fried onion.
favourite* 😊😉
They aren’t ‘boiled’. They are cooked on the barbecue.
sausages, beef, pork, chicken, kangaroo, not just beef
It's really funny watching you being confused about the bunnings website; hotdogs and sausages and snags and such. The website error page hit a snag(ahitch or a spanner in the works) so they show you a snag(sausage [in bread in this case]) as a joke. Onions if present are always put on the bread before the mystery bag(snag).
If you pay your mortgage fortnightly it makes an extra months paid each year( 26 weeks /payments =13 months). You can get ahead and reduce your overall interest costs by reducing the principle faster.
YAY for a $1/fn saving!
Bunnings Warehouse is similar to your Home Depot except for one amazing thing, the Sausage Sizzle!
“Bunnings is committed to participating in the communities in which we operate by contributing to local, regional and national causes, charities and organisations throughout Australia and New Zealand. During the 2022 financial year our team supported over 54,000 local community activities helping raise and contribute more than $29 million for community groups.
As part of our commitment to meaningful and active participation in the community, our stores provide ongoing assistance to a wide range of local community groups including:
schools and kindergartens
local sporting groups
service clubs (for example Lions, Rotary)
local community groups that assist the disadvantaged
local health and wellbeing
junior community groups (for example scouts, girl guides)
For more than 25 years, the Bunnings sausage sizzle has provided grassroots community groups a simple way to raise funds to continue their important work in our communities.
Not-for-profit organisations are able to book a sizzle with their local store - they need to bring volunteers and adequate supplies and Bunnings helps with the rest.”
British Imperial liquid measures and American Imperial liquid measures are different. Eg. the American pint has 500 ml. the British 600 ml.
Worth pointing out.
NOT A STINKING HOTDOG
It's a Sausage also known as a Snag.
Calling it a hotdog is ground for been deported.
A bunnings sausage not a hot dog. I honestly don’t even understand why Americans call sausages as hot dogs. I don’t think they are made of dog.
How did that name even come to exist in the first place 😂?
I don't know that they really have a version of our sausages. Their 'weiners' are more like our frankfurters, which is what we would put on a hot dog. It's certainly not real meat... 😂
Good question.
It isn’t like hamburger which is named after a place (maybe?).
Had a flat tyre. I was starting to change it and the police stopped to help. My hero's always.
Happened to me once too. Late at night, police pull up and get out, shining their torches on me and for a second I was worried. I don't know why. They just asked if I needed a hand. 👍
It’s definitely not a hot dog. Blech! It’s a beef sausage in a folded slice of bread with caramelised onions and either BBQ or tomato sauce! Yum!
Sausage Ryan!!! We're Aussies not Yanks🤨 •
Sausage & onion bbq'd (or grilled for you) served in sliced fresh white bread with choice of tomato/barbecue sauce/ mustard.
On weekend mornings good Samaritans cook & sell these a few $$ to raise money for charities.
You're being OBTUSE
The one being OBTUSE is you, not Ryan. And for your information, they're served in rolls too. Frankly, the obtuseness is the fact that many Australians in these comments section don't appreciate the fact that not all parts of Australians the same, and purport to speak on behalf of all Australians. You're not a real Aussie with an attitude like that.
re: "bbq'd (or grilled for you)." Really? Americans do understand what bbq means, it's you that doesn't understand other cultures, and that includes cultural differences within the same and different areas of Australia.
Bunnings snag is a sausage and fried onions with tomato sauce.
Can we please not use a Pommy accent for Aussie comments?
To be fair to Ryan, the Aussie accents (We have three main ones) seem to be impossible for Americans to replicate. Hollywood keeps trying and failing... and the only way they can get an accurate sounding Aussie is to hire an actual Aussie actor :P
The Aust accent is actually closer to an English accent than American so that's how he would hear it. American accents are closer to Irish. No need to be mean
Not being mean, Ryan really has been doing these for years (like pre-baby) & his “Aussie” accent is always excruciating. Part of the fun, right, Bellas1717?
@@Fiona-zc6oz How did you read a request as mean? Are you a hypersensitive ENFP? I don't see the need for any accent at all, just his own voice.
@@SnowyRVulpix I know a little about accents, thanks. I taught literacy to new arrivals for seven years. The point is, being fair to Ryan, why change from his normal speaking voice at all?
The sausage sizzle is the genius Aussie fundraiser, selling for small change and easy and cheap to set up and prepare.
there $3.50 ea now?
@@scummyinoz
The last time I bought one it was $2.50
Admittedly it was a long time ago.
It is the kid kicking the back of your seat
I just wanted to say, thank you Ryan. You seem like a genuine good person and we could all learn something from you. People are generally good, displaced by bad situations. Let's hope we can meet in the middle and be friends..WUB
A hotdog is comprised from a frankfurter on a bun. A sausage on a slice of bread is a sausage sanga
Aussie Sausage Sizzles are used as fund raisers for charities & community sporting groups. Pretty much every Saturday & Sunday they will have a sausage sizzle at your local Bunnings. $3.50 for the sausage sizzle, and $1.50 for a can of soft drink. When you have a Sausage Sizzle at polling booths on Election Day (also cake stalls, some even have a full on Barista f]doing artisan coffee), they are called a Democracy Sausage. There is a website where you can check on which polling booths in your electorate have the best offerings.

And that chart was REALLY old. I’m sure I had one the same, like 30 years ago.
Most people who are paid monthly, will pay mortgage monthly. If you are paid fortnightly, it is better to pay fortnightly. And if you are paid weekly, pay it weekly…. Weekly is the best, because you are paying less interest over the period of the loan. Fortnightly is better than monthly (12/mth v 26/ftnights).
Come on Ryan, its a snag in bread, not a hot dog. I am sure you have seen multiple references to Bunnings Sausage sizzle by now. Hot dogs are a completely different type of sausage in a long hotdog bun.
No onion if its for the dog
Hey Ryan, do you read the comments on your videos?
Everything points towards NO!
He's a young dad. Doubt it
@@Sydneysider1310 I agree. I think as viewers we're just chatting amongst ourselves. If he did read the comments and made the odd reply maybe the number of subscribers might increase.
@@shez5964 I feel the same way. It’s not just the interaction but the nature of his channel; learning about and discovering things about Australia and the culture. The comment’s section is choc full of replies to all the questions he asks as well as corrections for the things he gets wrong, which he’d find so worth the read!
If i got a cooking conversion magnet from my real estate agent when renting a place, i'd be asking why the oven hasn't been changed since converting to the metric system.
We got a pretty useful one with local numbers (emergency, take-aways, shops) with their opening/closing hours and places to put our own numbers in. Another one had a thermometer and yet another had a 1m measuring tape/rule included. It's always a bit of a shock when you find one that is just plain useful and it does engender so positive feelings towards the peeps sending them out. God knows how many times we've used the ruler one to measure small things around the house (and it's flexible enough to bend to fit weird spaces). Kudos to the (unfortunately now-gone) upholsterer. Keeping that one on the fridge until it breaks.
Is not a hot dog completely different thing altogether this is a sausage don't knock it till you try it
we do have hotdogs too, but as others mentioned these are "snags" or sausages in bread
LJ Hooker is a large Realtor company in Australia.
They want your property to sell.
Stanley cups & their knock offs have been around here since they started being popular in the U.S. My adult daughter bought one & I laughed pretty hard at her trend obsession, however, I soon changed my tune when the ice stayed frozen for days. Tbh I was impressed. It certainly helps her stay hydrated during summer 😂
Wait what? You don't use the word "keen"? 🤯
It’s definitely an English term. I guess it didn’t make it over the pond & halfway across the country to Indiana.
They don’t use it much as it’s an English saying (keen as mustard) but I have heard it now and then in the U.S.
There are two Australian in-jokes in the Bunnings "technical issues" page that might not be obvious to someone outside Australia. Firstly, sausage sizzles offering what you see in the picture are frequently hosted outside the entrance to Bunnings (a chain of big-box hardware stores). They're held typically as fundraisers for community groups. Secondly, "snag" is Australian slang for a sausage.
I pay mine every week. It cuts the interest owing as you reduce the capital. The faster you reduce the capital the less interest you pay.
That’s why being paid weekly is far better than being paid fortnightly or monthly.
Not helpful to pay weekly if you are paid monthly
@@waza987 Paying people monthly is insane. Weekly or, at the worst, fortnightly is the best option. I used to be paid weekly, and I would make payments for bills on different weeks to spread things out.
No bro it’s not a hotdog - that’s a snag
Sausage sizzle is the best ever with dead horse (sauce) you can also ask for just a snag yummy
I usually do this, and pay the same price.
You probably have your mortgage repayments period to match the wage/salary payments you get. We do have a lot of 2-5 year fixed rate terms, but you will never find any bank willing to fix more than 5 years out and often you are paying more as bank builds in to anticipated interest rate rises.
LJ Hooker is a local real estate agent firm. In reality most Aussies don't carry around reusable cups or mugs, but water or drink bottles have been in for a while, but even then - we haven't adopted the supersized containers that most Americans carry around. The majority of homeowners in Australia have variable rate loans or split their mortgage and only fix for ~3 (on ave) @ a time. Most home loans can be repaid daily, weekly, FN or monthly - whatever suits your income cycle. Keep in mind that with the variable loans (especially) the quicker you pay it down, the lower the overall interest cost is.
Bunnings have a sausage sizzle every other weekend. Usually it is for groups like schools or other community groups as a fund raiser. Smells great, tastes awesome and not called a hotdog. The sausage is known as a snag, and you whack it on a unbuttered slice of bread then add cooked onion and sauces to taste. This is an Aussie thing for sure.
It might also be a Democracy Sausage. When we vote, we reward ourselves with a sausage sandwich.
A snag is a sausage. Not a hot dog.
Snag is the sausage . Sometimes cooked on the BBQ or frypan
You have still so much to learn young padawan. A snag is just the sausage, cooked on a bbq. This is a sausage sanga. Every Bunnings store has a bbq that organisations can use to raise funds eg junior soccer club, scout club, footy club etc A hot dog is the same in Australia as USA.
Except hot dogs in Australia usually come in red casing.
@@mindi2050 not all. Depends on who makes them. Some are brown/greyish casing and others are red casing.
No, that's not our "hotdog", a hotdog is a hotdog.. We have sausages "Snags" Snag with some dead horse and onions, nothing better. When are you coming to Australia to experience all these great things first hand ?
Ryan " He doesn't know how to change a tyre" .... Also Ryan " I hope we're not losing that aspect of our culture" hahahahahaha sorry but that was gold. The post was about how kind the Aussie dude was and before reading it you made a little comment.
A hot dog is a frankfurt in a roll. That is a sausage (snag) sanger, sold at a sausage sizzle. Anyone saying different should pack and head to the airport.
Keen is quite common in the Australian language due to a saying we have. 'Keen as Mustard' was a slogan from a company called Keen, its advertising slogan from the 1920-30's stuck.
I just checked with my teenage daughters, and they have never seen a Stanley cup in the wild here, they only knew them from seeing Americans talking about them online.
Retired Aussie soccer mum and retired trend watcher 🤣, Stanley cups are definitely an American thing!
Hey Ryan, I’m guessing you haven’t been on a long haul flight with a crying toddler.
Sydney to Vancouver with at least 50% or more of the flight enduring the piercing crying of the poor child. No one complained but it sure plays havoc with your comfort levels!
Actually, it's the listener who's unable to modify their mental state to accomodate the sound of a crying baby.
@@kevin_mitchell a crying baby is supposed to cause stress to anyone in it’s hearing. It’s for human survival. We’re not supposed to be able to “adjust” to the sound but instead address the child’s needs. Evolution.
@@Sydneysider1310 But you can adjust your mental state and still be responsive to a child's needs. That's evolution. You're talking about stagnation.
By the way, what were the response of those "evolved" passengers addressing the problem. Muttering under their breath and glaring at the parent? Placing their hands over their ears in an exaggerated manner while slumping heavily in their seat to show their disapproval? I'm sure those responses helped alleviate the stress of the hapless parent - not!
I guess some people will evolve, but others will stagnate or even regress. The choice of bettering oneself is up to themselves.
@@kevin_mitchell it’s not evolved to “be able to adjust your mental state” when a young child is crying. It’s their distress signal when they are non verbal and again, intended to stress out and or cause anxiety for adults, to ensure their survival. It taps into your empathy, but of course, those without empathy won’t understand.
Plenty of studies over the decades that prove the different response in a caring adult as opposed to any other noise eg power tools like leaf blowers and lawn mowers.
Not interested in any more examples of your stance on this subject. Kind regards🙂
@@Sydneysider1310 re: "It's not evolved." You're the one who brought evolution into it. If it's not evolved, then why include it in your argument only to dismiss it when I responded to it?
re: "It taps into your empathy." I concur. But I also counter that empathy is not a requirement for people to become distressed at the sound of a baby crying.
re: "Plenty of studies..." Okay, but I fail to see the relevance.
re: "Not interested in any more examples." I'll keep that in mind and presented my case without using examples. 😃
They are NOT flip flops… they are THONGS
Or if your kiwi jandals 😆👌

A snag is a sausage, best served with onions, on a piece of bread. But seeing you are fascinated by all things Oz, look up “mystery bag” as a typical piece of Oz slang to describe a sausage/snag. Also the actual hotdog is also variously called saveloys/brats, depending on where you’re from
Snag = sausage. We don’t call the sausage itself a hot dog. A hot dog is a sausage in a long bun (the whole thing not just the sausage). The type of sausage found in an American style hot dog (with red skin) is called a frankfurter.
A sausage in a slice of bread is called a sausage sizzle, but so is the actual event of preparing and eating this dish (e.g. let’s hold a sausage sizzle to raise money OR let’s buy a sausage sizzle for lunch).
the other times you can buy a sausage in bread is at local, state and federal elections. They are called Democracy sausages, so you do your vote then come out of the polling booth and you can buy a barbeque sausage
That's on the East Coast.... In Western Australia they use long bread buns. ☮️
Kids are fine, I want Karren free flights, Karren's come with bad children.
WA invented the sausage sizzle and we use a bun. Anything else is a cheap imitation.
You actually pay less interest over the term of the loan if you make more frequent payments and a lot of people are paid fortnightly so loan repayments made fortnightly instead of monthly makes sense. You would save even more money over the term of the loan if you pay weekly, but most people simply make their loan repayments in accordance with their pay cycle (weekly, fortnightly or monthly).
That's NOT a hot dog for goodness sake. It's a SNAG. 😊
No, that is not an Australian hotdog.
Hi Ryan I’m from Tasmania, love your content. You would make a great Aussie as you have a great sense of humour 👍👏🏻👏🏻
Not a hot dog a snag with bread
You just can't blame one man for YOUR child's behaviour... 🤔😔
Discipline and respect are taught at home. 😄
Bunnings Warehouse supply the barbecue gear including gas for cooking, a marquee tent and tables to set up outside the store on a Saturday morning. Community groups in the surrounding area get meat, bread, onions and sauces at very low cost from sponsors then sell sausage sandwiches to raise money for things such as children's sports teams, the elderly, public hospitals and other good causes. You don't go to Bunnings on a Saturday morning and not buy a SAUSAGE SANDWICH.
Mortgages are mostly variable as fixed rates are usually short terms only. We don't get America's 15-30 years fixed term. Most we get is 3-5 years.
You have an option to pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
We also have offset accounts, which is like a saving account that reduces your mortgage interest. (A better version of the HELOC hack you guys have)... so this makes the difference between paying fortnightly or monthly redundant
A "snag" is slang for a sausage. One of our classic quickand cheap fund-raising takeaway foods is a sausage on a slice of bread, sometimes with onions or other toppings, always with sauce. Called a "sausage sizzle". Bunnings is known for its sausage sizzles where various groups provide and prepare the food to raise money for their charities or groups. So the headline - "Sorry we hit a snag" is a pun on the slang word for sausage, and also very apt because it is what they are known for - hence the photo of a "snag" from one of their sausage sizzles is a visual pun as well. It is so your play equipment. You had a child to hide the fact. 🤨 I sat next to a woman struggling with a tiny baby crying on a flight from Brisbane to Los Angeles, with a four hour unintended stopover in New Caledonia. It was upset, and probably its little ears were hurting as well, and at times it got annoying. But it was nobody's fault. I was travelling with my four-year-old at the time. Thankfully he slept most of the way. I think the best thing to do is to help the parent cope by taking the baby for a bit for them. After all, there isn't much else to do on a long haul flight. Most Australians are paid fortnightly. But also, paying a mortgage fortnightly reduces the interest faster in the long term. I once had a flat tyre on one of Brisbane's busiest roads and I had three offers of help in a very short time. (I was waiting for the car club - RACQ - to come and fix it). People are good. I will generally stop if I think I can be of use, but I'm not good with cars. I can offer a lift, etc. Being a female makes me vulnerable, unfortunately.
We can pay our mortgage weekly if we want to.
The grass thongs (flip flops) have been around for quite a few years now and are amazing! I'm on about my fourth pair! Super comfy and get mad compliments when people see them.
A sausage in bread, typically from a sausage sizzle as it is called these days, is not the same as a hotdog, though the comparison is easy to see. An Australian hotdog is similar to an American hotdog except that Oz hotdogs are made from pork according to a European recipe for frankfurt[er]s while American hotdogs are made from beef. Also American hotdogs commonly have multiple extras like onions and other things, while Australian hotdogs are more commonly just with a variety of sauces and mustards [although the extras are sometimes available in some places].
Snag not a hotdog can confirm. Bunnings snags are as beloved as Vegemite.
When you were talking about the flights I was picturing 2 planes flying together 1 full of adults seated nicely, 2nd plane 100 kids running around crazy no seats just big playground.
You can pay your mortgage months, weekly or fortnightly. Fixed rates also exist here in Australia but they are only fixed for a few years.
I was on a flight to Bali from Perth (Aus) and there was a baby that "screamed" the whole flight.
We still get our sausage in a bread roll in Western Australia. And we can have onions on top. I used to do Lions sausage sizzles at Bunnings. 😊
A Bunnings snag. How does anyone not know this culinarily masterpiece!
You have to remember that most flights Australian's take are not short hops. We live with the "tyranny of distance" but I don't think childfree flights would be feasible.
The first time I heard about Stanley Cups I wondered why an ice hockey trophy would be popular amongst Aussie teens 😅
Trickle down economics is the rich peeing all over the average person.
If you don't help out someone stranded on the road you're not a real Australian. Hope it stays that way .
We don't have Hot Dogs, we have sausages wrapped in either a slice of bread , or a long bread roll xx
