For a foreigner browsing 'All' : what's a 'democracy sausage'?
Edit: by the power of Internet search engines https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_sausage
Thank you, I immediately went from "the fuck?" to "ugh, 'muricans", then I saw the magazine and got actually interested.
We are increasingly America-lite, after all...
As I was witheringly told by an American lecturer a decade ago when I bitched about Oz becoming the 51st state.
"Don't get too big for your boots son. The 51st state is Canada and if you're lucky you might squeak in at 60 after we've sorted Puerto Rico, Guam Mexico and whichever Middle Eastern countries seem like a good idea"
I don't quite understand, I couldn't see a magazine.
Just to be sure, it is an Aussie thing...
Magazine is just kbin term for community.
Ah, that makes so much more sense... I went looking for a pic of a mag on the wiki link... nothing!
I was so confused, sorry for doubting you dear kbinner
