As I sat in my local café in Melbourne, sipping on a flat white and scrolling through my news feed, I came across a story that left me feeling rather unimpressed. Qantas, our national carrier, had just been fined a whopping $120 million for selling tickets on flights that they had cancelled. Now, I’m all for corporations being held accountable for their actions, but a penalty of $120 million for a company that made a post-tax profit of $1.25 billion last year seems like a slap on the wrist.

It’s not every day you see a giant capybara on public transport in Melbourne, but that’s exactly what happened on the Belgrave line recently. A photo of a man sitting with a massive capybara on the train has been making the rounds online, and I have to say, it brightened up my day.

As I was scrolling through the comments, I noticed a few people mentioning that the capybara was likely won at the Royal Melbourne Show. I’m guessing that’s correct, given the time of year and the fact that showbags often feature oversized plushies. Whoever this guy is, he’s definitely living his best life.

I recently stumbled upon a conversation online that left me intrigued. Someone shared a hack for removing soap scum from shower doors using dryer sheets. I know what you’re thinking - “dryer sheets?” Yes, those humble sheets we use to reduce static cling in our laundry. It turns out they have a secret life as a cleaning hack.

The original poster shared a before-and-after photo of their shower doors, and the difference was stunning. The “before” photo showed a layer of soap scum that made the glass doors look cloudy, while the “after” photo revealed sparkling clean glass. The magic ingredient? Dryer sheets. Specifically, the person used Bounce dryer sheets, but others in the comments claimed that any brand would work.
