Sweet video shows man rescue baby deer and return it to mom

Baby animals are just adorable no matter what animal it is unless they're the frogs hatching off of the back of a mama frog, I will never be able to unsee that. Aside from those frog back babies, there's something about baby animals that make you want to let out a long "awww" while you thing about all the ways you wish you could snuggle them.

This also may be the reason that people will risk their own lives to save baby animals they see In the wild struggling. Some sort of protection instinct kicks in and you just have to go save the little baby. With the convenience of having tiny cameras in our pockets at all times, we're catching more of these rescues on film.

One woman filmed her husband saving a baby deer, a fawn for you fancy people. The little deer was following its mom and somehow found itself trapped behind a chainlink fence unable to reach the safety of its mother. That's when the woman's husband comes in.


The man stopped the car and jumped the fence to rescue the deer that was running frantically back and forth trying to escape the chainlink barrier. His wife can be heard off camera sweet talking the deer who is too far away to hear as she films her husband and checks back on the mama deer who looks at the situation from the edge of the woods. Eventually the man makes it over the fence and another driver stops to help. They both chase the fawn until the woman's husband finally grabs it and carries the struggling baby back towards its mom.

As soon as they reach safety, the deer is placed in the grass where it takes off running and the two deer disappear into the tree line. The sweet rescue can be seen below.

Implementing simple energy- and water-efficiency upgrades in US households would save nearly $200B per year in residential utility bills.

Unfortunately, these upgrades are often unaffordable or inaccessible for the average US home.

Growing up in West Virginia, my community was largely part of the 1/3 of Americans who can’t afford their energy bills, let alone the efficient home tech upgrades that would make these bills affordable.

This is why Kaitlin Highstreet and I founded Scope Zero, where we created the Carbon Savings Account™, or CSA. The CSA is similar to a health savings account, where employers and employees both contribute funds to the account. With the CSA, the employees use the money for home technology and personal transportation upgrades that reduce their utility bills, fuel spend, and carbon footprint.

CSA-eligible upgrades include everything from Energy Star refrigerators, low-flow showerheads, smart thermostats, and LEDs, to home solar and EVs.

Samantha has trouble every time she gets a new work email.

The recent trend of parents going out of their way to give their children unique names has brought up a lot of discussion on social media. Some of these names sound cute when a child is 5 years old. But will Caeleigh, Zoomer or Rhyedyr look like a serious adult on a job application in a few years?

A recent viral video on TikTok is a unique twist on the current discussion surrounding names. Samantha Hart has a name that doesn’t seem like it would draw any negative attention in professional circles. However, her parents didn’t consider email conventions when they named her back in the late ‘90s when email was new.

“My name is Samantha Hart,” the 27-year-old said. “Most companies use the email designation of first initial, last name, meaning my email would be shart.” For the uninitiated, a shart is an unintentional release when one thinks they only have gas.

Woman shares her positive experience with plastic surgery.

There is an age-old debate over whether someone should get plastic surgery to overcome their insecurities or learn how to accept them by talking to a therapist.

Plastic Surgeon Dr. Chales T. Slack says that plastic surgery can’t solve all someone’s problems. “Perkier breasts won’t save your marriage,” Parker wrote on his blog. “A new nose won’t guarantee a promotion. And while cosmetic surgery can give you a boost of confidence and add to your self-esteem, it cannot fix big underlying psychological issues.”

Studies show that for some plastic surgery can be a big boost to their self-esteem, while for others, such as those with body dysmorphic disorder, it can lead them to feel even worse about themselves.

This 4-year-old's reaction is all of us after a long day

There's one thing you can say about little kids that's pretty consistent no matter who the kid is, and it's that they're brutally honest. Whether you have something stuck in your teeth or you've gained weight, a small child will inform you - loudly, and usually in front of others. But one preschooler's moment of honesty is going viral for how relatable it is.

An exhausted and cranky 4-year-old named Jude has had enough. The little boy had just gotten home from school when he must've been asked something before the camera started rolling because his response was a #same moment.

"Listen. No, do you hear me? I'm cranky, I'm tired, I worked hard at school," Jude says to his dad.

Jude's mom, Amber Tinker uploaded the video to TikTok where it went viral with over 14 million views and over 1.5 million likes. The tiny grumpy human was clearly not interested in whatever shenanigans his dad was up to and he let him know it.

Club goer's experience has people wondering what Gen Z is doing with their hands while dancing

"You know what's giving away your age? You keep putting your hands up."

Millennials are debating where Gen Z puts their hands while dancing

Look, going to the club after 30 is not for the meek...or those of us with bad knees from Snoop telling us to drop it like it's hot too many times in the early 2000s.

So walking through the doors to let your hair down after a long week only to be reminded of how old you are can be discouraging. But one Millennial club goer's recent experience has people scratching their heads.

Gus Rosas, a Millennial on the younger side at just 32, told his TikTok followers how he found himself in a strange predicament while at a dance club. He explains that he was dancing with a girl in her early 20s at a club in Los Angeles when the girl kept telling him to put his hands down.

"I was dancing at the club last night with this girl and she was like, 'you know what's giving away your age?' She was like, 'you keep putting your hands up.'"

Look, teachers aren't perfect.

Education has certainly changed over the years, and is continuously evolving. That goes for teaching methods—utilizing more technology, providing more resources to students with special needs, and incorporating more personalized approaches—as well as what information is actually being taught in classrooms.

Surely, if you think back to your childhood, you'll remember certain "facts" being drilled by your teacher that nowadays seem like straight up nonsense. And if not, you can copy off of the Reddit community's homework.

Redditor u/authorized_join31 recently asked "What’s a fact that was taught in school that’s been disproven in your lifetime?" and people did not disappoint with their answers.

Baby repeatedly pranks her parents, making them think her arm is stuck in a jug

The acting chops on this tiny human are hilariously next level.

This tiny prankster knows how to put it on.

Some people are natural-born comedians. When and how a sense of humor develops is a fun psychological puzzle, but it's clear to anyone who's been around lots of children that some kids tap into their funny bone very early.

Some kids are also natural-born actors, and when you combine those early drama chops with an innate comedic impulse, you end up with a hilarious little baby prankster.

Case in point: This video of a baby seeming to have her forearm stuck in the top of a water jug. It starts with the little darling in distress, crying and fussing for help, with her arm appearing to be lodged into the narrow bottle opening.
