tbf that's not unreasonable per se if someone is wondering what happened to their cat, at least it might help someone find closure. idk if it has spoiler tags or can just link to it unembedded though. at least compared to flood of racist dogwhistle paranoid baby bomber nonsense that makes up 2/3rds of nextdoor. the other 1/3rd is people asking for babysitter/plumber/CHEAP(!) contractor recommendations

I wish I had the screenshot, but I moved neighborhoods in nextdoor, so I can't see my old posts.

We had a particularly irate man complaining about how he feels unsafe in his neighborhood because he saw an african american gentleman receiving fellatio in his car on the street. It's a dangerous world people, stay safe, stay armed :shrug:

"If you are giving away or rehoming your pet please read
This is not a soapbox post just a warning to folks out there getting rid of their pets for whatever reason. You might think that your dog or cat is going to a good home but many times they are sold for bait in dog fighting or could be used for horrific animal testing. I just received this picture and wanted to warn everyone who is getting rid of a dog or cat."

This actually happens in my neighborhood, especially with cats :(

e: for dog fighting, not for animal testing. Some 19 year old just got like 6 years in prison for it.

For some reason, people around here never lock their cars even though it's a real poo poo neighborhood. And every day on Ring there's people complaining that someone went into their unlocked car during the night and stole cash that was left laying out.

My favorite thing about this is that unless your car is from 1996 or earlier, I have no idea how to leave it unlocked even if you wanted to. Like every piece of poo poo car I've had that was made after 1994 would lock its doors automatically after a minute or two, to the point where if I wanted them to not lock I'd have no clue how to even do that.

my local NextDoor currently has a thread full of people complaining about the police helicopter circling at night. Mind you, this is a neighborhood 2.5 miles from the airport and 3 miles from downtown in a heavily urban area.

Not Nextdoor specifically but the town next to me has a dog park that has been there for at least 15 years. A lady has been trying for a few years to get it shut down because she purchased and moved into a house that was next to a dog park.

Yeah but why not go "Hey I saw a dead cat. If you're missing a cat, let me know and I'll send a picture".

I already live in an urban area, so nobody's spooked by a person of a type, so it's more like 99/100 Cheap Labor and 1% DEAD CAT

Sex trafficking scheme at Wal-Mart !!!WATCH OUT!!!!

I heard this from my sister over near Akron, but it's happened at many other places too. You will be walking back to your car and suddenly see a dog with a collar. When you get near the dog it will release a knockout gas!! Then sex traffickers come and take you away, this way they don't even need to follow you to your car!

Police are trying to stop it but they keep getting stopped by Sanctuary City laws!

WARN YOUR FRIENDS! Don't get near any dogs in parking lots!

I've seen so many variations on this its unreal, where an innocuous everyday thing is actually a portent of doom and you should live every day on edge!

If a car flashes at you dont flash back!! Its a gang initiation squad and they will follow you home kidnap you and harvest your organs!!! I didn't see it but my daughters friend did!!

A small piece of trash on your driveway means you have been marked by a cabal of blood warlocks and if you clear it away they will come into your home at night and take your blood!! PLEASE SHARE

Same. Plus NextDoor posts from the PD reminding everyone to lock their cars because preventing theft is really that simple. And every drat week it's followed by "30 thefts from vehicles were reported this weekend".

My adult son recently ran away and has not been seen for four hours after an argument regarding Nintendo Switch usage at his grandfather’s wake. He is a husky boy, last seen wearing a Minecraft t-shirt, grey Crocs and blue/grey ‘digital style’ combat pants.

He is very afraid and likely hungry. Could you please check any outhouses/garages in case he has gotten stuck? Thank you.

URGENT! RED TEXT CAPITAL LETTERS! I SAW A DOG

Serious post, I seem to have been kicked off of Nextdoot and I’m bummed out about it. I’m not sure what I did but my account got deactivated and it won’t let me make a new one. No reason given. I don’t think I trolled too much but I used a very fake sounding name. The last post I made was imploring a gang of boomers to not call the loving cops over someone playing guitar badly during the day. :shrug:

Such an entertaining app, great for identifying the panicky cop callers in your area. The 4th of July fireworks chat is always hilarious. Someone made a post saying they saw some :siren:hummingbirds:siren: in their yard and if they are dangerous. Also, apparently someone was jacking off in a van like right across the street from my house one day. Stay safe!

It's strangely common here for people to complain about the noise from the airports/train tracks that were there before they were even born. I don't get it.

What I doubly don't get is how you don't learn to just phase it out after a while. I grew up directly under an LGA glide slope and after a bit you don't even notice that a plane is passing by overhead so close you have to pause your conversations for 5 seconds.

The one thing I miss from my previous apartment is the train whistle. There's something very relaxing about hearing that at night.

poo poo, looking at the dates again I just remembered the one that I posted I actually know what the bangs were because it happened down the road from me. It was the sound of someone dying. A lady driving down the street got T-boned (Boom #1) by another car pulling out of the American Legion (drunk) followed by the lady’s car crunching into the embankment on her side of the road (Boom #2). It was crazy loud and didn’t really sound like a car crash.

I see them about once a week. NextDoor posts generally boil down to one of the following:

1. I lost my dog/cat.
2. I found this dog/cat.
3. Suspicious youths/minorities.
4. In search of handyman to lowball.
5. What is this bug and will it kill me?
6. Did you hear that boom?
7. Buy my garbage.

There's like a 90% chance that any time you look, one of those will be the first thing you see.
