Orphan Crushing Machine

A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.

The rules:

1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight "Yay, the problem is solved!", but ignore "Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?" at the same time.

2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.

3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don't be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; (c) no spam; (d) don't attack people; and (e) don't abuse the report button.

They don't care about the content obviously, but they love when you just give them attention. You can see the dogs are very engaged with their child.

Plus, don't forget that the kids also get practice time reading, so it brutally slaughters 2 birds with 1 stone

Heyhey, we don't say that here. We say crushes two orphans with one machine!

Ya, practice with a non-judgemental listener that's really cute even

Yeah, I just have the idea that they prefer a ball to a book.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Probably true but I'm still happy that someone spends some time with them. Perhaps they get to play with the kids as well
