that quokka is fresh from throwing her baby at a predator to escape, she needs a good meal

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

Psst, who wants to let me in.

So, I'm not Australian and, until I recognized the animal, I kept thinking the sign was pronounced Quo-Kah. Had to google how to pronounce it. It's pronounced Qu-ah Khah. Anyone else struggle reading that?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Wikipedia says /ˈkwɒkə/ which I think was your original pronunciation.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

That's so rude! What a quokk a shit.

Me after stealing all the food off everyone's table while they are distracted by the quokka I let in:

Well he seems very polite so I'll make an exception

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

I understood that reference

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago

Dude. I'm totally letting the quokkas in.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm gonna. They can't stop me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (3 children)

stops you and bans you from the restaurant

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Hmm.

I suppose quokkas are a protected class.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Any restaurant that doesn't let me let in the quokkas probably isn't even a place I want to eat. They can't ban me, I ban myself!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

What are they going to do, put up a sign that says "don't let in [email protected]"?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Never heard of our seen one before. Sounds like a name for something in Australia. Is that where this is?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yep, quokkas are only native to Australia.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

I mean it just sounds like an Australian word. Super cute creature.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

I'd a called 'em Chazzwozzers

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

They are very cute and have no fear of humans.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Why? Are they bad tippers?

Rottnest Island, Western Australia

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

This place is magic, and so are quokkas.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Fuck the police.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

We have to meet our daily ~~quota~~ quokka

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How many can I feasibly let in?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I was thinking I could probably carry 5-6 in my arms and at least 2 in my purse. I'll be getting a booth for me and my friends, tyvm.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Excellent plan!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Gonna have to fetch them some takeout then

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Somebody give me some context. Is it just to avoid having the little creatures associate the place with food, because they smell or is it just a well humored take? Last time I checked, quokkas don't speak.
