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 love those reaction videos - especially young people listening to old songs from the 80s (which I love) that they've never heard before! Also watch ASMR fluffy mic whispery videos, to get to sleep!

Not ridiculous really but there are a lot orphanages in Uganda and some are very active on social media - the kids are so adorable.

Grass cutting, especially the edges with a strimmer. Pool cleaning. Rug cleaning. Blocks of soap being cut.

IzzyHandsIsMySpiritAnimal · 04/06/2025 22:40

Not exactly ridiculous but I like to watch videos of people making seaside rock/candies, rug cleaning, and any featuring Emanuel the badly behaved emu.

Cow hoof trimming
Colour mixing (whether it’s silicone, paint or slime)
Miniature food cooking
Cooking videos in foreign languages so I don’t know what anything is but the food always looks amazing
Lara Cakes
The dogs that wear crochet hats of food while eating the same food
Good Boy Ollie (and baby Tato)
Cookie decorating
Illusion make up

I used to love rug cleaning but I’ve watched so many of them I’m sick of them now.

Restocks. For some reason can not stop watching even though I can’t fathom taking stuff out of packaging to put in different packaging 😂

also love it the haircut transformations for some strange reason.

At the moment it’s an estate agent in Turkmenistan who gives tours of houses up
for sale or rent. Some are complete shit holes and others are so opulent and absolutely massive. Floor to floor rugs and lots of grey black and gold trim.

I watch a man who looks after horses hooves !!!

Is he the shirless sexy very good looking one, or a toothless old man, as I can direct you to some better content. 🤣

Goldenboysmum · 04/06/2025 22:53

I love funny cats and dogs, but any animal stuff really.

I follow a farm where 2 donkeys(Mary and Star) gave birth overnight, sadly 1 donkey had a stillborn foal but both of them have claimed the other one as theirs.

So the baby (Sol) feeds from both of them and both mums are bringing him up very happily.

The farm also has the cutest pygmy goats, I could watch the kids all day and never get fed up ❤

Shadesofscarlett · 04/06/2025 22:53

AI kittens saying they want chocolate and the guy who shows you round teeny NY appartments to rent and says would you rent this for 5k a month, how about no. and the other one who bumps into people randomly, except it isn't. And asks them how much rent they pay then they show him round a huge house they own in NY worth billions.

And another guy who has a whole 1980s series and he plays all the characters and it is just fabulous. Like Dynasty and Dallas on acid. A characcter Paloma does sub bits where she has been cheated out of an oscar and all sorts. JulianSewell, the man is a genius.

@Martymcfly24is it Cecelia (and Grim)? If so, I love her too.

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.

Me toooooooo! I just love Cindy and her lip smacking.

My latest obsession is watching clips from friends where the cast have been AI'd to look like babies. Baby Rachel is gorgeous 😍

Also rug cleaning, cake and cookie icing, pimple popping, soap making, candle maker cleaning wax etc

Why is pimple popping so popular? It sounds vile!
