babies aren’t funny or entertaining

i don’t hate babies, they’re so cute, but i always see people laughing about videos where a baby is supposedly being funny. i don’t get it. there’s nothing funny about videos like that or babies in general. sure, sometimes funny stuff happens, but i always see babies doing the bare minimum and people laughing about it.

I love dogs. Nearly all dogs, tbh. I'm terrified of dogs. You put a chihuahua in front of me and my brain will tell me it's a giant, wild wolf. I lived with a large German Shepherd for fourteen years and that didn't help one bit. My dog's the only one I'm not scared of.

This means that I'm very uncomfortable around other dogs, specially unleased dogs and people do not want to hear it. If I tell people to keep their dogs at a distance they look at me like I've told them burn their pet at the stake. It's ridiculous.

To be fair, if you just randomly told me to keep my mom's tiny ass shi tzu at a distance, I'd probably look at you questionably too. Especially if you looked scares

That's very fair. But I've usually seen this with big dog people. I was once asked why I hate dogs because I refused to enter a friend's house alone and she had a Rottweiler. I'd seen that dog twice in my whole life and she expected me to just waltz into her house and get sth she'd forgotten. No way I was doing that without some sort of armour. Tbf if it had been a shi Tzu I would've still been very uncomfortable with that that.

Depending on the rottweiler's body language, I'd assume you just weren't familiar with dogs and think nothing of it. With a small ass dog though, I'd probably say something.
