I know everyone jokes about Australia being full of poisonous and deadly shit, and most of it is exaggerated -- but it really is a bit annoying being into the outdoors here, and having to constantly worry about fucking snakes and ants. I did a long camping trip in the States, and as long as you weren't in bear country, you could sleep on the ground, and didn't have to look where you stepped most of the time. The landscape can be beautiful here, but wearing snake gaiters on every hike in the summer is a pain in the arse. Plus half the country is on fire for 3 months out of the year.
Hang on, let me check wikipediaAAAAHHH OH SWEET MERCY, WHAT FOUL SINS DID THE ABOS DO TO BE CURSED TO LIVE IN AUSTRALIA?!?!?!
Growing up in Queensland is a unfortunate experience. Can’t walk in the grass because of Eastern Browns and Green Ants, can’t walk through the bush because of the Stinging Trees and Magpies, can’t swim because the Bull Sharks and Jellycunts are everywhere. And the sun is always trying to kill you.

>Physical contact with Dendrocnide moroides is not the only way that it can cause harm to a person—the trichomes are constantly being shed from the plant and may be suspended in the air within its vicinity. They can then be inhaled, which may lead to respiratory complications if a person spends time in close proximity to the plant
Bullets are lame and represent a failure of imagination, we should be doing poison darts instead. Can't wait for those new autonomous microdrones that use compressed air to rapid fire microdarts tipped with neurotoxin at anything that moves, that shit is gonna be so fuckin tight
it's a shame that military efforts to find meaningful, large-scale uses for flechette munitions in small arms calibres have failed so consistently. i mean, probably *not* a shame in terms of net human suffering, but intellectually it's a bummer.
we somehow went from DIACBA flechettes loaded with VX, STX biodarts, separable bullets, and the rest of the enwp.org/Big_Five_Weapons all being developed to a status quo where virtually no individual weapon chambered in anything but good old-fashioned bullets has ever been adopted by anybody.
even the APS underwater rifle has been replaced by a friggin non-dart-firing bullpup.
The problem with australia (other than being full of australians, of course) is that humans have only been forcing their will onto its ecosystem for less than 250 years or so. It is still too wild, too full of noxious species that should be exterminated and replaced with more useful and less harmful ones.
No, harvest and weaponise Gympie-Gympie first, the suicide plant demands sacrifices.

go back, homosexual.
That one would be a literal war crime.
Yes, and?
Australia is the bloody hell
Of course, Satan.

Yeah but at least you cunts are on fire atm
if we didn't have that going for us we'd be lost
How do you deal with the ground harnesses?
It's almost like the God was trying to tell us not to live in that forsaken part of the world, huh?
This is why I refuse to move to Australia even though I could earn double my salary here.
Just stay away from nearly cleared bushland and you'll be fine. It struggles to move in when there's established wildlife.

Iirc that venom is a "agonist" to pain, makes it far intenser.
>weaponize platypus venom?
It would be ineffective, V-weapon/Mustard gas tier, useless in the moment.
Historically arrow poison were fast-acting paralyzing alkaloids.

The future that DUNC warned us about.

platypus farm
Now you need a financial model to make it work.
Weaponize giant hogweed
You should weaponize dolphin pussy jelly instead. Blast a load and they'll be blasting loads till they die. It's humane.
