We walked around a local lake yesterday. And we saw babies! Baby goats, baby turkey, and a baby beaver! Best walk ever! Only got pictures of the goats though.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post office your own.

Hello everyone! Loving these daily posts with the animals, figured I'd finally make a lemmy account, as well.

Goats are cute; delicious milk, too; if I ever end up with my own farm I'd have goats and chickens.

In the process of making some travel plans. Found out that airbnb is the most annoying website ever made :p

Let's all say it together, class: enshittification.

This is real and true.

I mean, at least the apartment itself looks nice, but the process of booking it made us consider going over to booking.com and getting a place through there lol

I've heard there is mandatory cleaning fee, but, also, if you don't clean the apartment, they charge you another cleaning fee. Things like that.

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Some places seem to have a cleaning fee as part of the total, but the one we booked doesn't.. there also doesn't seem to be complaints about cleaning fees in the reviews, so we'll see I guess :3

And check for cameras. I remember "what is this thing I found at my airbnb?" being a common post. Good luck and have fun!
