It can sit for months under heavy books and it still bounces back to its original shape, like the day I got it. Anybody got a better idea?

I don’t have a copy of Recepetin Eats Dinner. Maybe I can try my local library. Do I have to use that book or can you provide a list of other books that will work just as well as that one?
I accepted my fate.
Great cook book that one haha
The flat ones are fake.
(I don’t actually rec this, just thinking aloud)
Give it to a comic presser and see what they can do with it, with the magic they pull on some comic books I’m sure they could do something with a passport even with the materials being very different, a bit of steam to soften it up and then a press seems like it would do a lot more than just a press on those passports
The more expensive the cost of an Aussie price the cheaper the materials they seem to be using, mine lasted a week before deformity
“Do not try and bend the passport – that’s impossible. Instead, only try to realise the truth. There is no passport.
“Then you’ll see, that it is not the passport that bends, it is only yourself.”
You’re dreamin’.
No way that’s enough weight to flatten an Australian passport.

Enshitification meets passport
I don’t care about the passport, as far as I’m concerned it can be as bent as it wants to be so long as it gets you across the border when you travel.
But that cookbook is top notch.
I have a snug 3D printed case. It prevents the curling, and even can undo the curling when it curls up real bad because you are an idiot and leave it outside the case in a humid place.
In Nagi we trust
Maybe we should embrace the curl and let our passports go all fusili.
Pop it in a passport wallet — the leather protects it from bending further or getting damaged
When you show your passport at immigration, they can tell its counterfeit if its flat.
(Actually I just keep it in the plastic sleeve from the old one. It really doesn’t matter.)
When I was cleaning out my grandparents house I found their old passports. Apparently they used to issue them with a cover. Now I keep mine in that cover and it is nice and flat.
How come there was no news about what the passport procurement audit uncovered? It’s been over a year https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-01/18-under-investigation-following-passport-office-audit/104550224
The day it arrived I put it in a freezer bag with dessicant packet and sealed it up. It’s still fine.
My partner told me that before we were together, he carried his passport in a pocket as he traveled through Spain. He sweated on it so much that he described his picture as looking like Phantom of the Opera. He was advised upon return to Australia to have it replaced.
That’s how they tell they’re genuine! If they’re flat they’ll get suspicious.

Best cook book ever
Maybe the bendy covers is a security device. Fake passports may have straight covers. /s
