No, this is real.

I was looking into this story a little bit ago and ultimately passed on it, as I think I saw some references to the owl as a pet, but I couldn’t confirm.

Some owls need to live with people in a resident care environment, and that is cool. An owl just to have an owl is a grey area to me, so I stay away from that, as I tend to lean to education and rescue with my platform here.

There are places where one could have a pet owl or go to an owl cafe, etc, but I have conflicted feeling overall about less than well regulated care of wild animals.

Bored Panda has a quick summary and big photo list and a link to the person’s Facebook if you want more.

No issues with the posting of this in general though.

Fair enough, thanks for the info!

Just realized I replied to aww instead of the Superbowl cross-post, so my reply may have sounded a tad snooty out of the context there.

No snootiness was inteded!

I didn’t know a lot of this, thank you for explaining! I wasn’t aware of the background at all beyond seeing the cute pictures haha

Of course! And I don’t want anyone to feel bad or anything like that for enjoying the pics. I enjoy them too. They are super cute.

In researching owls for you guys every day though, I also read way more unfortunate stories than I’d like, and things like this, animal cafes, circuses, private zoos, and just plain keeping wild animals as “pets” or using them as props or parts of costumes are important things to discuss, but since this group of ours is mainly for fun, I’m not sure if this is the right venue for discussing and debating these things.

I just want to know for myself that whatever I share is both factual and that the animal is being properly cared for if it’s captive or left be if it’s wild. And all you guys really seem to care about them as well, so I want you all to be able to make informed decisions as well.

So again, no issues with anyone enjoying the pics of this owl, but I think it’s important everyone knows this is a real owl entrusted to a person’s care.

You guys keep falling for the same parody account.

Who lives in something like this other than royalty? I honestly don’t understand the point of it….you’d never see 90% of it.

merc ,

If money weren’t an issue, I could understand it. You could invite friends and/or family to come over and stay as long as they’d like. If you wanted some time to yourself, they wouldn’t even have to leave, they could just stay in one of the guest-houses for a while.

You could have any kind of special hobby room you wanted. Martial arts dojo? Sure. Home theater? Sure. Laser tag room? Sure. Dance studio? Why not? Kitchen with every kind of tool, multiple ovens, multiple stoves? Of course! Workshop? Why not. Cozy knitting room with every kind of yarn imaginable? Great!

Some kind of good cause you wanted to support? Give them an entire wing of the place. Feel bad for a marginalized group like refugees? Hand over one of the many buildings for their use.

Overall, the world would probably be a better place if no person / family had this much wealth. But, that doesn’t mean that I’d hate to have a place like that if I happened to be insanely wealthy.

PrincessLeiasCat ,

Great answer, thanks! A lot of things I hadn’t thought about. Maybe we should all go in with this guy, lol

(Yes I know it’s satire)

It’s a satire and stuff, but if I’d ever be in this kind of a situation, I’d order something to their table just to confuse everyone. Imagine doing it and looking them in the eyes when staff brings meals or a bottle. You’d better look for where the back exit in this place is.

Yeah buddy that's what getting a loan is. Except in reality, you get them from the bank.

Reality? Is that a different website from LinkedIn? What’s the URL?

ThePyroPython , to LinkedinLunatics in Let's do this 💪

Absolutely no chance this ever happened.

What the hell are these people on? Huffing Mercury?

Not to mention that a property like this likely costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to maintain and pay tax on, if not milliona

And this picture isn’t even real.

It's a fucking parody account.

Feel shame.

So this isn’t a lunatic then… also not on LinkedIn…

glimse ,

That is correct and I hope the mods stick to keeping this place exclusively for real posts. “Close enough” makes places homogenous

    Ok have fun dumbing down every community you post to while thinking that everyone is your enemy I guess. See ya later, dork

    Use brain more.

    TheMauveAvenger ,

    Reddit was really bad with detecting sarcasm/parody/comedy, but Lemmy is on a whole new level of missing the joke.

    hiddengoat ,

    It's the same fucking people, you dolt. Learn how numbers work.

    frunch ,

    Ok so how does 4 work exactly? Do you have to hold onto it until it’s fully charged or is it more like Bop It™ where you quickly have to perform various motions on the fly?

    NOSin ,

    Maybe because there’s no joke.

    “The joke is I can’t afford this house”

    Marvelous

    starman2112 ,
    @starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

    No, the punchline is “I can’t afford this house.” It’s humorous because the preceding story seems to build up to some anecdote about how having some money right now is less important than having more money later, or some other overdone trite non-observation, but it ends with the orator subverting your expectation that he can easily afford the house by admitting that not only can he not afford it, he in fact has no money and must find a way to make the entire $15,000,000 within one year.

    Like all jokes, it’s not funny if you don’t get it, and if you only get it after someone explains it to you, it still won’t be funny.

    mojo ,

    It’s satire

    Dirk_Darkly ,

    I’ve seen multiple communities where people not only miss the obvious joke, but they get angry at how there’s no joke. It’s truly something to behold.

    mindbleach ,

    Some jokes are dumb.

    DaCookeyMonsta ,

    It’s clearly a joke, lighten up.

    RampantParanoia2365 ,

    No, just regular mercury. It’s still bad.
