Left-spiralling snail Ned dies before finding a mate The rare snail's quest to find true love has come to an abrupt end.

Very sad news today. Ned the snail died last week without finding love. I am working with urgency to get him into the Recent Deaths section of the Wikipedia home page.

Any chance you could update the app/website to let you add the library card to Apple Wallet? I did a DIY hackjob on my phone to put it in there. Way more convenient than an app!

Abel Tasman mountainbiking trail pushed to boost region's tourism Regional leaders are pushing for a mountainbiking trail in the Abel Tasman National Park.

“[Nick] Smith said they were keen to expand Nelson’s reputation as the mountainbiking capital of New Zealand.”

Even I know that’s Rotorua and I despise mountainbiking

A while back the guy in the bunny costume stole a bunch of money from a community hockey group. He also complained when a cat got a community service award, because it “devalued” his own community service award.

Christchurch politics is a weird scene.

Apparently this is an unpopular opinion in Christchurch, but I like having chlorinated water. I hardly ever notice it and (this might just be me) I prefer not to regularly have torrential diarrhoea.

It takes one sip of Dunedin water to realise how good we have it.

A facebook post from Health NZ South Canterbury that reads "Hi team, 
Just a quick note - Currently, if you google "phone number for Timaru Hospital" Google's AI will sometimes suggest you should instead call Sopheze Coffee Lounge & Catering. We've asked Google to fix this.
Please note that Timaru Hospital's number is 03 687 2100.
To avoid any confusion:
Sopheze = Coffee & Catering ☕️🥪🥙🌯
Timaru Hospital = Surgeries & medical procedures 😷👩‍⚕️🚑
In emergencies, always dial 111."

Included is a screenshot of the Google AI Overview recommending ringing a hallucinated phone number

A screenshot of a facebook post of Sam Uffindell (National MP) holding a giant pumpkin. However, the way he is holding it looks nearly exactly like the ancient internet shock-meme called "goatse".

Political parties need to start educating politicians about disgusting early internet shock humour.

Stuff asked police if a bigger digger would be needed, but a police spokesperson advised after 11.15am that a “special tow truck” would be needed and that would take around an hour to arrive.

This is the most total strategic defeat for the US in decades. An international embarrassment. Trump needs to be removed from office ASAP.

I really hope peace can last.

A tweet from Trump that reads: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!
Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President
DONALD J. TRUMP”

What a nutter

I had wondered about LPG. I’ve been meaning to de-gas my house and I think this might be the thing that pushes me there in the short term.

A splitscreen showing a still from the movie (a house that is supposed to be in the USA somewhere but is clearly just Huntly) and a Google Streetview screenshot of the specific house in real life.

Why yes that is the Huntly Power Station in the background and yes of course it has been dressed up as a potato factory for obvious Minecraft story reasons
