Links: Bed and Baroo?

Photograph of a dog sitting on a couch. A caption over the dog reads "random dog in our airbnb?"

And finally: Bird-b-que

I guess the hot dogs can wait, Elizabeth G.

    Bunch of baby bird beaks looks like a bunch of flowers opening up.

    The Air B&B story is just weird. 1. If I showed up to find a large dog I was expected to take care of, I’d be demanding a refund and staying somewhere else. 2. The owner doesn’t seem to know if it’s a he or she. If it’s real, the owner is extremely irresponsible.

      3. I agree with you, Allein! (Also about the baby birds.)

      Is it just me, or is the narration on the wombat story really annoying? Also, does anyone else think it’s odd that the little girl gets much bigger but the wombat doesn’t? I feel like something’s wrong with that story. Wombats, however, are still adorable. And so is the little girl.

      Cat glow-up is amazing.

        On the one hand, a LOT of cute stories on the internet are either completely made up, or attached to videos of unrelated footage cut together to seem relevant.

        On the other, wombats never really stop growing, and can live for decades. I have no idea how gradually they grow.

          I’ve been seeing truly bizarre videos on my YouTube feed, that seem AI generated. The visuals don’t match the narration at all, and the stories are all about someone letting a wild animal into the house on a very cold night, and the critter just curls up by the fireplace. Really stupid/dangerous stuff.

          • Blue Footed Booby May 14, 2025 / 2:54 pm

            If the people making those (or making the bots that make them) cared about how their actions affected the world they wouldn’t be making AI spam. It’s incredibly frustrating.

            • Ricky & Bibi's Mom May 14, 2025 / 4:28 pm

              I’ve been spared these so far, but I expect they’ll be showing up in my feed soon. Thanks for the warning.

        The voice over IS annoying.
        I’ve heard the guy’s voice and seen this little girl before in wombat videos. Whoever put this together was not the original poster. Person gathered up a bunch of photos from the same source, regardless of what time it was, and strung them together. The link below shows a recent vid from this family, who rescues wombats.

        • Ricky & Bibi's Mom May 14, 2025 / 4:31 pm

          Thanks, this makes much more sense. Gosh, I really dislike plagiarists, bots, and AI.

          I try not to police people’s voices, since that is antithetical to my professional mission. But I have a feeling that narration is artificial. Phooey on that.

          • Ricky & Bibi's Mom May 14, 2025 / 5:07 pm

            To clarify: I meant the narration of the AI video.

            • 6Rabbits May 14, 2025 / 5:48 pm

              I agree!

        • DEBG May 14, 2025 / 10:41 pm

          Gomez’s smile! What a cutie!

    • tara May 14, 2025 / 2:57 pm

      I kind of liked the doggy story? I was starting to think about how I could let the Air B&B I’m renting this summer (in the mountains) know I’ll pay extra to have a dog that will go hiking with me.
      But don’t pay me no nevermind… my brain is still all allergy-gunked up.

      • DEBG May 14, 2025 / 3:30 pm

        Sorry you’re still suffering so much. Runny noses do affect the firing of synapses in the brain.

    • allein 🐾 May 14, 2025 / 10:48 pm

      Hmm…the story seems to have been removed…

    The cat rescue is wonderful.

    • Kar May 14, 2025 / 10:16 am

      I can’t believe that was the same cat.

      unfortunately think that the glue was deliberate but thankfully he recovered as is a happy, fluffy housecat now.

    • 6Rabbits May 14, 2025 / 11:59 am

      Unbelievable is the before and after pics! What the heck! Don’t know how he got in that much glue, but by his thinness, he was close to dying. I can’t imagine the hours it must have taken to clean him. So glad he was a foster fail!

    • DEBG May 14, 2025 / 10:42 pm

      Yes, Timothy is a knockout. He and his mom look so happy together.

  4. Kar May 14, 2025 / 10:14 am

    that guy was like, “there’s a birdhouse RIGHT THERE.”

    Oh well. its all about location, location, location.

    • DEBG May 14, 2025 / 10:23 am

      I now want to get a grill just so birbs can nest in it.

    • 6Rabbits May 14, 2025 / 12:01 pm

      Obvy the birb house was not up to par. And gotta admit the barbecue was a safer place!

    • AJ May 14, 2025 / 4:12 pm

      And I just realized, that bbq is very appropriate for birds as it’s called a Big Green Egg.

      • Ricky & Bibi's Mom May 14, 2025 / 4:32 pm

        Oooh, well-spotted! I didn’t see that at all!

  5. Georgiana May 14, 2025 / 12:56 pm

    I am late to the game today , I agree the Air B&B is very strange, I am glad poor cat was rescued and is now safe. Wombat story is definitely AI.

    Have you seen this yet? I love signing dogs.

    • Ricky & Bibi's Mom May 14, 2025 / 4:37 pm

      Oh, I loffs thees! Thanks for sharing it. So much fodder for the Kiffness. (Still sad I can’t go to NYC concert, but health first.)

    • DEBG May 14, 2025 / 10:46 pm

      This may be the best thing WRD has ever done.

    • allein 🐾 May 14, 2025 / 1:43 pm

      Definitely a cow. 🐄

    • Ricky & Bibi's Mom May 14, 2025 / 4:38 pm

      Srsly Moo-Cow vibes.

    • DEBG May 14, 2025 / 10:43 pm

      “finding their moo” has me rolling on the floor!
