Welcome to CF Lounge, our weekly off-topic discussion thread.

This post will be up all week for your enjoyment. Have fun!
The other day I learned that Jackson the cockatoo and its owner (Huhniverses) are both AI and I've never felt this betrayed before. I was sick last week and the channel had become my new favorite thing while being sick, only to learn it's all fake. Whoever is behind it is stealing videos of real cockatoos and use them to create this fake cockatoo so they can scam people into buying merch of a bird that doesn't exist. And there was a video where I noticed the feet of the cockatoo looked different but my sick brain didn't connect the dots at first.
Damn. I’m sorry that happened! Ive recently found out a lot of lofi music I listened to while studying was AI
I have finally got a new mobile phone, just finished setting up.
This is weird but recently beef and sausage taste funny to me. Like taste weird. No I am not pregnant I’ve taken multiple tests. I take a test every few months even with the IUD. I’m not sure why my taste would change? It’s only meat.
So, I (knowingly) went on a holiday with some friends who had kids. We all made it back alive, and no one got a stern talking to (except the kids, by their own parents, for typical kid things).
It has only left my partner and I more certain that we don't want (and cannot live with) kids of our own. lol.
Advance disclaimer: we do not hate our friends' kids; we just think they're a bit too much sometimes (as most kids are) and are glad we can step away when that happens. What we do hate though, are children who misbehave and whose parents enable that misbehaviour some way or another.
Are there any good childfree dating apps?
My mom’s friend sent Christmas gifts to my mom & sister. Granted, she just got my sister an ornament about her expecting a baby, but I still thought that it was kind of insulting that she felt that my sister deserved a gift & I didn’t, just because she’s having a baby & I’m not, lol.
As a sole caregiver to a cancer patient, I spend all my personal time either reading research papers or posts from other patients/caregivers. They can be helpful most of the time. But oh let me tell you how freaking selfish some of these breeder people are. They just want to sprinkle their defective genes like fairy dust.
Strong family history of cancer - parent died of it, now they have it themselves and are terminal barely 30 yo - “I want to have a baby!”
Genital cancer in 20s - “I am freaking out I will lose my fertility!”
Blood cancer when just hit adolescence now became infertile from treatment - “why no one told me about sperm banking?” Dude you were like 13 then???
Aggressive reproductive system cancer and already have a 1 yo - “can I avoid treatment as we are trying for another baby?”
Have one kid with cancer predisposition syndrome, who has one of the worst type of brain cancers as a toddler. Proceed to get pregnant again.
Seriously, fuck these people.
