You cant die in australia because you cant be in australia. You would fall off the world. Duh.
Um, Australia is required to exist to stop the weight of the US from flipping the Earth plane over. It's literally the counterweight continent.
But its glued to the bottom. So you would just fall off.
Speak for yourself, skywalker, some of us tether ourselves everywhere we go.

I’ll never forget the fall of Australia during the Emu Wars. The siege of Sydney was truly terrible.
Emus? I think you mean cassowaries…
The cassowaries were being controlled by the platypus, who were in turn controlled by huntsman spiders. Drop bears fit in there somewhere......

Thought that was New Zealand, since thats only on maps 50% of the time
New Zealand is technically part of Australia anyway (when you have something we want to claim).
Oof. I think if nz heard you they will haka your ass ;)

Google isn't even sure so at least Bing is providing an answer, not that the wrong answer is great
Bing gets you answers fast.
they didn't say they'd be the right answer tho.
Kagi also believes Australia is not real
Edit: this also shows up if i set the region to Australia

Kind of fucked up that we claim it does exist when you think about it
Search engines don't make claims. They just deliver search results. People who fail to understand the difference have a really hard time interpreting the results.
I wish search engines "just delivered search results". Unfortunately, they now directly and confidently answer questions with complete nonsense.

Australian users of Bluesky and Mastodon
Now that's what I like to see!
Fuck, who's turn was it to pay off bing this month?!
does anyone actually ever use Bing, when not either tricked/manipulated into using it or under some sort of bribe/incentive via ms rewards ?...
I use it for free access to gpt-4 and dalle-3. Can’t say I use it as a browser though.

I will admit that I used it for years for the rewards, and it worked well for me. Once I started using a VPN though, it decided I could only redeem my rewards in Canada (I live in the US). I could have probably fixed it, but it caused me to have one of those "what am I doing anyway" moments and switch to using a SearXNG instance instead.
I got super tired of google a few months ago. "Ah, you searched for these terms. But I am going to ignore that and instead show you results for these diffetent ones, because fu."
So I started using bing instead, I wouldn't say it is worse. Just differently bad. Some search things are much worse, some are much better.
Quite annoying how they keep pushing for "AI" all the time though, so might go back to google soon anyway.
Bing is so much better than anything else for image search in my experience. Anything else, lol.

Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then?
You didn't really think there was an overgrown island with rabbits that stand upright and every animal, including dogs, hellbent on killing you?
These things HAPPEN☠️

#AustraliaIsntReal
Wake up sheeple, time to get with the program. It's finally all coming out...
Australia really is the Wyoming of continents.
...Guess I'm from Queensland, New York now.
Welcome to the states, friend! You picked one hell of a time to join
Australia is really New Zealand, everyone knows that.
Whats the one that "ackshually" doesn't exist? Its like some running gag or something
Finland.
Or New Zealand if you are a cartographer.
NZ
Yessss

I mean have you heard an Australian accent? It's like "this is totally a legit accent, we're speaking English, mate, jabbamawong!" half of it isn't even words they just make it up as they go like they're not being sarcastic.
Never bought it.
It would've been better if they just kept it... I mean, the theory has everybody already
