I love videos on how to speak English, and also the cultural challenges of moving to live in England. They all say the same things but I can't get enough of them

I follow a lovely man living in Denmark who posts videos about his camels and donkeys. He goes out into the wider community so that the disabled and the elderly can meet with the animals.

He leads a beautiful life.

I am a little bit obsessed with a beautiful elderly baboon called Cindy.
She was orphaned as a baby and brought up on farm in Namibia who rescue animals, they are not pets.
Shes now 30 years old and blind so needs more care, but what a character she is, she acts as a foster mother to the meerkats and wart hogs, but doesn't like sharing her food. The love this family have for her is incredible.
I follow the posts on Facebook.

Eyebrow threading. I watch every video I can on Facebook 🤣🤣

Chocolatecustardcreamsrule · 04/06/2025 12:22

I’m really enjoying one that’s filming how they are looking after chickens. Two hens are in a battle over who’s the mum to the chicks. I haven’t a clue about chickens yet read every single comment.

I like watching videos of people cleaning their house and also the ASMR restocking videos of people filling up containers with fabric softener or stocking the fridge with fruit etc. I find them weirdly relaxing and satisfying.

DeSoleil · 04/06/2025 16:22

I also follow Cindy the baboon!

The adventures of Patrick the Shetland pony is another one.

DeSoleil · 04/06/2025 16:27

The kangaroo sanctuary Alice Springs is lovely.

EscapeTheCastle · 04/06/2025 16:31

Lawn cutting services when they do it for free. Usually US properties. Usually presented in extreme fast forward.

Estate Sales again in the US. Usually made by vintage collectors. When someone dies everything in the house is for sale and people queue up outside and then tour the home and buy anything inside that's priced up. Every now and again it's someone famous. Recently it was Tom Pettys house in LA.

Decluttering videos.

Mymanyellow · 04/06/2025 16:33

I like grass cutting, pool cleaning, and decorating before and after.

XDownwiththissortofthingX · 04/06/2025 16:36

Turtle cleaning, nuclear disasters, maritime disasters, camping in Yukon, and documentaries about the DDR's attempts to become a major player in the semiconductor industry in the 1980s

Jobwelldone · 04/06/2025 17:04

Mostly animals-kangaroos, pandas, elephants, bears-mostly rescue type stories-it used to be all fashion, skincare & recipes but I need an antidote
to all the awful things going on in the world.
