Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I discovered the Quoakka thanks to Lemmy, they're really cute little things. I found a cuddly toy version for sale! I've used the brand before it's solid and well made so I've ordered one.

There's a whole island on the west(I think?) coast of Australia where you can visit little quokkas!

The last time we visited Australia, we were only in Victoria and Tasmania, but found a wildlife park that had platypus encounters. They let you put on wetsuits and get in a tank of chest high water to "play" with a youngish female platypus (no spurs, no venom). By "play" we had to stand pretty still and let her explore us. She was very curious. And then they let us hand feed her. My soul left my body. It was the best day ever.
