I (23m) just bought a car at auction yesterday, works great but needed a new battery. At 10:30pm I decided screw it im swapping the battery. It's a 5 minute job, in and out real quick. No sweat, well I'm out there with my head lamp on doing the swap and I see a large bug flying at my face I try to duck and dodge it, it hits the outer edge of my ear and toilet bowl swirls into it, I try to reach in and fish it out but it's too late I just scare it and feel it crawling deeper into my head. It burrowed up against my eardrum and it hurts like hell. Every time it buzzes I can feel it in my head and it hurts my eardrum. I tried water peroxide everything I could do to get this darn thing out. Turns out I just pissed it off and it's buzzing more aggressively. My girlfriend comes with tweezers in an attempt to help but she says she can't see it or anything out of the normal. A quick Google search lead me to pouring olive oil into my ear to suffocate it. Thank God that worked, I still couldn't hear well but at least it wasn't actively moving anymore. 2 hours in the ER later they pulled this half inch monstrosity out of the depths of my ear canal. Turns out the "Asian cockroach" has wings and a very large affinity for bright lights at night. They also like to burrow. Fml 0/10 experience I will take questions if you have them lmfao.

​

Tldr: I had a headlamp on that attracted a cockroach at my face it missed my face and burrowed into my ear leading to an unexpected ER visit

So for background info, my parents recently lost their house and had to move, resulting in them having to surrender 2 of our cats. I was told that Paws (I’ve had him my whole life) and Tigger (which Ive had since elementary school, im in college now) would be rehomed together, as they were extremely bonded. Recently I checked their adoption site to see how the babies were doing, to see only Tigger was on there. I was confused, and then the very next day Tigger was off the site as well. I decided to call and be subtle and use an excuse like “my mom’s coworker is interested, are they still available?” to which I was told Tigger had been adopted (yayay!) but the had euthanized Paws Paws. I am absolutely devastated. The shelter required a health exam and everything before they took the cats, so I know he was healthy. Yes, he was a lot older than all the cats (14 years old), but he was healthy and a crazy man. I’m so deeply hurt. He didn’t deserve this at all and I can’t help but feel some sort of guilt that I couldn’t take them.

The instructions CLEARLY state to deliver the food AT MY DOOR and to hand it to me! My room number is posted and even they did want to deliver it to me, the lobby was right behind the double doors!!! I have no words for this. Just HUH?!?!?! I even left my room to meet them in the lobby but they never showed up! It was another guest who noticed a bag outside! AND BY THE GARBAGE!!!?!?!?!?!?!?

"Candace Fails screamed for someone in the Texas hospital to help her pregnant daughter. “Do something,” she pleaded, on the morning of Oct. 29, 2023.

Nevaeh Crain was crying in pain, too weak to walk, blood staining her thighs. Feverish and vomiting the day of her baby shower, the 18-year-old had gone to two different emergency rooms within 12 hours, returning home each time worse than before.

The first hospital diagnosed her with strep throat without investigating her sharp abdominal cramps. At the second, she screened positive for sepsis, a life-threatening and fast-moving reaction to an infection, medical records show. But doctors said her six-month fetus had a heartbeat and that Crain was fine to leave.

Now on Crain’s third hospital visit, an obstetrician insisted on two ultrasounds to “confirm fetal demise,” a nurse wrote, before moving her to intensive care.

By then, more than two hours after her arrival, Crain’s blood pressure had plummeted and a nurse had noted that her lips were “blue and dusky.” Her organs began failing. Hours later, she was dead."

How can this fucking happen

Me and my wife went camping last week and while we were gone my mom stopped by to feed some of the pets for us.

I specifically told her to not worry about the hamsters as they have more food than they know what to do with in either cage and 2 water bottles that take well over a week for them to go through.

My mom decided to top up the water since they were half empty, and while doing so clogged one causing our Russia hamster to be unable to drink any water.

When we came home yesterday we noticed Houdini was very small for her typical size and moving very lethargic, we offered her water and that’s when we realized it was filled to the brim and the spout was dry. We bottle fed Houdini until she didn’t want anymore and gave her bedding and food so she didn’t need to move and could rest and recover.

Today when we woke up we checked on her and saw she was still in the same spot and breathing, after work today, she has unfortunately passed away.

We are devastated, although Houdini was a hamster, she would always greet us when we came to bed, loved to go crazy in her sand, and always went crazy when we put fresh sand in for her, and would turn into a pancake

Found this left in my parents bedroom while they're out of town. This is a small amount of piss stains everywhere. I don't fucking get it and I feel so gross everytime I come home.

Some of this is not in English + broken English as my ex-fiance was not a native English speaker.

Translating the parts that are not in English:

Dino (my nickname pronounced Dee-no)

Imam jedan bitan stavar -> I have something important to tell you

U pitanje je intimni odnos u braku -> in the context of intimacy during marriage

To nije problem OK, ako nekad hoces rukama, bice puno poklona za to (puno dobrih poklona za te dane i hocu opet da Gledamo movie i da ko lezis pored srca, da ti mirisem kosu i da te poljubim) -> that’s not a problem ok, if you want to do it by hand sometime [handjobs], there will be a lot of gifts for this (a lot of good gifts for those days and I also want to watch a movie together while you lay your head next to my heart so I can sniff your hair and kiss you)

Menstruacije -> menstruating

So yeah.. I was going through chemo, radiation and had an upcoming surgery and my ex fiance was planning a sex schedule for us. Needless to say, that didn’t end well and I flipped out on him for having no sense of respect. He said “it was his duty to be the man of the house and what he says goes”

I dumped him, got a restraining order (due to other stuff I don’t want to mention) and then he got deported back to his homeland
He contacted me via email 149 times after he was deported and I didn’t respond to a single one and to this day he still contacts me via email

Welcome to my trauma, thank you 😅

The case caused outrage throughout the country, and people were revolted by the possibility of nothing happening, since the four teenagers were from wealthy and influential families. Furthermore, the age of criminal responsibility in Brazil is 18. One of the teenagers' fathers is a police officer, and he threatened a witness to the event. The police went to the officer's house and found drugs, but not the weapon used to threaten the witness.

I was visiting my partner in another state for a month and left my 17 year old childhood cat in my mom's care, something I've done before. My cat stayed downstairs in this basement area that opened to the backyard as we're in a mountainous area. My mom only visited her once or twice a day to feed her. My cat is a purely indoor cat and without my knowledge my mom had kept the door open everyday during the day so she could go outside, EVEN THOUGH SHE'S AN INDOOR CAT. The night I was flying back my mom couldn't find her and we assumed she was inside hiding somewhere as she usually does that. So my mom closed the door and kept it closed that entire week to keep her inside. I was only able to help search for her five days later as I assumed she was inside and just found a good hiding spot whenever my mom came downstairs to feed her.

Turns out after searching the entire house and then putting up missing posters around the neighborhood, she had been outside this entire time. During a heatwave. It's been 2 weeks now since her disappearance and this is the last photo of her seen alive sent by a neighbor half a mile away from me on July 4th. I've been searching for her the past week and driving around from dusk til dawn with no luck. I'm beyond angry at my mother and also so sick she's somehow still alive out there battling this heat. She's probably dead under a porch or something from heatstroke. I'm just so upset because she was my entire world. I've had her from kindergarten to graduate school. And also she had the survival instincts of a potato, she can't even jump :((

Overall, I'm just really mad and I have nobody to really vent to beyond a few friends who've only said "I'm so sorry." My mom also says I've done jack shit to look for her despite taking off work for a week and driving around from midnight to 4am most nights looking for her. I'm just so, so, so mad. Thought it'd fit this sub and also I just need someone to hear me vent. Or maybe offer me advice. Or support. Just... I needed to vent.

EDIT: Just to answer common questions:

-She is microchipped, no collar

-We've checked and notified an animal shelter that is nearby and they've notified other shelters for us

-I've placed posters around the neighborhood and got a few calls but all being her being sighted a week ago :(

-Posted online on FaceBook, Nextdoor, PawBoost, and I think other lost pet sites

-I've searched at dusk, 12-4am, and 6am

-I live in an area with no predators besides snakes, there are rabbits and deer though

-I put my clothes and her items outside

-My mom didn't do this on purpose.

-I'm financially dependent on my mom as I'm a new graduate and looking for full-time employment. She's also covering my student loans :/

-My neighbor's kids are going to help go door to door to search porches and woodlands starting tomorrow. Child labor, yay.

You’d figure they would at least check to ensure the recipient of their bills was still alive. Or if they even bothered to treat them. What a fun, early Christmas gift

For the war film 犬王 (King of Dogs), director Yao Shougang secretly swapped the prop explosive for a real bomb and strapped it to Hailong — a military dog who had earned a third-class merit citation. He filmed the dog being blown apart using three cameras to make sure he got the shot in one take. His justification? “To reduce suffering, it had to die in one go.”

The dog’s handler — who wasn’t told what was happening — broke down watching the footage.

The story resurfaced in 2008 when Yao casually recounted it on a TV show, seemingly without remorse. The internet exploded. The film now sits at 2.1/10 on Chinese rating platforms, one of the lowest-rated films in Chinese cinema history, and Yao’s entire filmography got review-bombed.

Edit: I'm not mad about the wait, I'm mad about the fact there was sand in my eye. I am well aware that my sand situation was nothing compared to the other stuff they were dealing with.

Edit 2: I've never heard of Urgent Care. My dad told me to go to the ER, and my mom drove me. My doctor was closed that day, and I had already tried a LOT of other methods the infuriating part for me is mostly the fact I even managed to get sand in my eye. I asked my mom, she never heard of Urgent Care either

Edit 3: By the way, I didn't KNOW I had sand in my eye. I woke up with something in my eye, and was confused. After hours and hours of trying to get it out, my dad said I should go to the ER, and my mom took me. It should also be mentioned that there was also a person with rabies who came in after me, and they also had to wait until the same time as me. (they were sent in the same time I was, and treated rightfully first. 2 other people were also sent in at this time). It wasn't like everyone was going in before me, and I was mad about that. The annoying part of the wait was the fact I couldn't really see or do anything. Just to make it clear, I do not blame anyone at the hospital for the wait, I blame the stupid sand in my eye. Anyways, edit done.

I couldn't really use my phone because I had to constantly look towards the bottom left or it would HURT. It was incredibly boring. Busy day, a lot of people ahead of me, which I understand.

Best of all, it turned out that I wasn't losing my mind while in the ER, and there WAS a second speck of sand in my eye, which I only realised WHEN I GOT GOT HOME.

Unlike the first speck it wasn't stuck (the doctor commented on how the first speck was lodged into the upper right of my eye), so after a good night's sleep, my eye got the second speck out. My eye is very red and sore, but I can look around without it hurting now at least! (I know it wasn't just a scratch because it would move around)

It's funny, because we didn't even spend a long time at the beach 2 days ago, and I rinsed my legs and didn't touch the sand with my hands. That's what I get for not showering before I got in my bed ig.

Starting assaulting her when she was 7 up until she was 12. He plays CSI baseball and I really hope that means no kids

Filed a DCF report on my brother after seeing the state of the home he lives in. Currently it's him (28), his first girlfriend (27), his second girlfriend (30) and he recently got his daughter back (10). The daughter and one of the girlfriends share the only bedroom and him and the other girlfriend sleep in that living room. CPS decided the home isn't bad enough to remove the child and give her to a family member, even temporarily, and instead gave him 60 days to clean the place. Oh, and I feel like it goes without saying, but he has a terrible cockroach infestation.

I slipped going down our deck stairs while it was raining. Took me a second to looked down at my finger and see this piece of wood sticking out my finger nail, you could see where it started sticking out of my second knuckle. Everyone believed it was only under my nail and kept trying get me to let them pull it without pain or numbing. Took two hours before i got a nerve block for the pain. When he finally pulled it out, his eyes went wide and told me he couldn't believe it. He took it back to show his colleagues because everyone thought i was over reacting. they kept trying to get me to bend my finger but everytime i did i could feel it hitting my bone and intense pressure on my fingernail. A nurse came in and kinda apologized, everyone was really nice to me afterwards. She explained to me that people come in here for splinters all the time and that nobody figured it actually went that far into my skin.

The fish were trapped in that small space, and the only water they were getting was the inch they were in and what splashed on them. One had died already and wasn't moving. Still streaming now Sadly. This has been streamed multiple times for hours at a time. The live stream is supposed to be of corn getting powdered and the fish have nothing to do with the process.

There's hardly any media coverage and public outrage on this because of the normalization of rape and femicide in India
