Australian users of Bluesky and Mastodon were surprised yesterday to find Bing was informing them that the country they were in didn't actually exist.

    I’ll never forget the fall of Australia during the Emu Wars. The siege of Sydney was truly terrible.

        The cassowaries were being controlled by the platypus, who were in turn controlled by huntsman spiders. Drop bears fit in there somewhere…

        The First Emu War was. Emu War II was much more devastating.
