Matthew Perry was known to have had relationships with several famous actresses during his life but in his 2022 memoir, he mentioned a lost love that ‘still hurts’ and fans are convinced it’s Neve Campbell.

Matthew Perry briefly dated Neve Campbell
While Matthew Perry’s dating history may include fellow actors such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Julia Roberts, another of Perry’s relationships is arguably more notable.
That being his brief rumored romance with Neve Campbell. The actress is best known for appearing in the Scream film franchise as well as the TV shows Party of Five, and House of Cards. Most recently, she starred in The Lincoln Lawyer.
Perry and Campbell’s short fling reportedly began after they met on the set of the rom-com Three to Tango in 1998, a film which sees their characters fall for one another.
They dated for several months while filming but their relationship had supposedly come to an end by the time of the movie’s premiere in October 1999.

Matthew Perry wrote of a lost love in his memoir
In his 2022 memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, Perry explored a number of his romantic relationships but one account stood out above the others.
Perry mentioned a lost love that he “never got over” and “still hurts” and described meeting an actress on the set of a movie in 1999.
The Friends star explained that the unnamed actress made it clear that “my drinking was a problem” and “picked another guy.”

Fans are convinced lost love is Neve Campbell
While Matthew Perry doesn’t mention her by name, fans are convinced that the lost love is Neve Campbell, as the pair met and dated while filming Three to Tango together around the same time.
On top of that, Neve Campbell went on to date John Cusack between 1998 and 2002 which would also match up with how the mystery actress ‘picked another guy’ instead of Perry.
Discussing Perry’s memoir and his lost love, one fan on Reddit said: “My guess is Neve Campbell. They supposedly dated around their movie and broke up within a few months.”
While another added: “It’s 100% Neve Campbell based off the year he mentioned it was the only film he made that year and she’s the lead alongside him.”
“Mine too! I thought of her because I remembered that movie,” added another fan. “Maybe she chose someone else after the movie, and that was why their romance lasted short.”
And finally, this fan echoed: “I have a feeling that girl could be Neve Campbell.”
A wildlife photographer captured the intense moment a silverback gorilla beat his chest just meters away from a guest on a safari trip. It’s since gone viral on TikTok.
The video, which has since been viewed over 120 M times showed Silverback gorilla standing up and running in the direction of the guest too. According to the caption, she remained calm and collected in the situation.
Viewers have been left amazed by the clip, marveling at the move used by gorillas, but also expressing fear for if they had been in the scene.

What an incredible morning with the @kwisanga_family of gorillas. When we first arrived the clouds were darkening and the vegetation was thick. The trackers were trying to find views for us as the gorillas fed and the storm grew closer. What started as a drizzle turned into a torrential downpour and the gorillas found shelter and so did we. When the rain finally passed all the gorillas started coming out of their hiding places and the males were trying to keep warm by chest beating. While watching another gorilla the Silverback came marching in from behind us and put on a show that won’t be forgotten in a hurry by our cool, calm and collected guest who handled the moment perfectly. She then moved out to make sure we kept a safe distance from the gorillas. In theory we try and maintain a big distance but in reality it doesn’t always work out this way. Masks help us minimise any passing on of our diseases to them and distance is maintained as best as possible. We are also limited to 1 hour with the family as this is the point at which the chance of sharing our diseases with them exponentially increases. This was filmed a privately guided conservation safari which we put together with Arc Earth #travelwithpurpose #theboss #kingkong #gorillas #animalsaddict

The gorilla was filmed beating his chest close to the guest in the TikTok video
Professional guide and photographer Richard De Gouveia was leading a privately guided conservation safari when the video was taken. It was shared to TikTok last month.
The safari tour took place at the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda and the gorillas filmed were the Kwidanga group, made up of 2 silverbacks, 3 adult females, 2 blackbacks and 2 sub-adult females.
In the clip, gorillas could be seen coming out of their hiding places from the rain, Gouveia explained in the caption. “The males were trying to keep warm by chest beating,” he wrote.
“While watching another gorilla, the silverback came marching in from behind us and put on a show that won’t be forgotten in a hurry by our cool, calm, and collected guest who handled the moment perfectly,” he added.
The huge silverback gorilla was documented approaching the group from the side and taking a deep inhalation. He then lifted himself and began to run while beating his chest, coming extremely close to the guest kneeling at the floor. The Silverback stayed in place after finishing and the guest moved out of the way gently.

Why gorillas often beat their chests
When gorillas beat their chests it produces a loud sound that can be heard from a great distance and through thick forest. The action is thought to be a way for gorillas to both intimidate rivals and attract mates.
A study in 2021 published in Scientific Reports found that larger gorillas produce different sounding sounds when they beat their chests, meaning it can be used to tell others their size.
The research team behind the study worked at the same Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda and used audio equipment to report the sound frequency, rate, duration, and amount of chest pounds. They found that the sound frequency equated to the size of the gorilla. Larger body size in gorillas is found to relate to reproductive success and social rank, reported The Guardian.
Chest-beating can therefore be used as a way for gorillas to let others know their size, in order to help them assess the fighting ability of each other and decide whether to retreat or escalate, and also attract females. Although gorillas can of course see the size with their own eyes when within seeing distance, the sound can travel through dense forest and so send the signal even far away.

The gorilla has since gone viral
With 120 million hits, the video sparked various reactions across TikTok from amazement to fear.
“They seem so unreal to me, but they are 100% beautiful and terrifying,” wrote one user.
“My soul would have left my body,” added another.
“Why did it seem like he was just being silly,” joked one TikTok account.
Popular influencer Jenny Appleford has shared that she’s living her final days, after live-streaming the news to over 400,000 viewers.
Jenny Appleford is a 36-year-old mommy blogger who has authentically shared her journey battling lung cancer since her diagnosis in 2021. On YouTube, she goes by Jenny Apple.
In a recent live stream on her YouTube account, Appleford joined with her husband to share the news that she was now in hospital and was living her last few days, according to a doctor.
Fans have been pouring in support and gratitude to Appleford for allowing them to follow along her journey.
Jenny Appleford has been open about her cancer journey online
In 2021, Appleford was diagnosed with lung cancer despite being a non-smoker. In July, she was told she had less than a year to live.
In the years since, she’s been open and brave across various social media platforms, sharing every step of her tough battle, including shaving her head with her children. On Instagram, she has 15,000 followers while her YouTube account has over 100,000 subscribers.
Still from Jenny Apple’s YouTube video,
She shared a heartbreaking live-stream yesterday
On Sunday, Appleford and husband Kyle started a live stream on her YouTube channel simply titled “I’m dying.”
The stream brought sad news to followers directly from the hospital bed. “I’m actually dying right now,” she told the camera. “I’m so scared. I don’t know what to do.”
In the video, Kyle explained that Jenny’s breathing had “labored” and she was put on a high-flowing oxygen machine, which is only able to run at a hospital. Due to this, Appleford is unable to return home as she wanted.
A scan showed that Appleford’s left lung is now mainly tumor and the doctors said she may have days left.
In an emotional moment, Appleford asked her followers to take care of her family and notified them that her husband is able to one day fall in love again and marry. “I want him to be happy, so let him be happy,” she asked.
“I hope I’m happy. I think I’ll be happy. I’ll be an angel sparkling in the sky. I’ll be sparking over you guys,” she added.
Keeping humor, Appleford jokingly compared her breathing tube to Mario, but later added that despite “trying to make this a funny thing with jokes” she was really “heartbroken.” “I am devastated,” she spoke honestly.
Followers have been sharing their love
You don’t have to go far to see just how loved Jenny Appleford was by the community she created online.
Comments were flooded with messages of support for the creator, sharing their appreciation for her in her final days.
“Jenny is such a strong and courageous woman, facing death with her head up and still cracking jokes. We will pray for you,” wrote one subscriber.
“It’s been such an honor following you guys. So many hugs and prayers,” added another.
Matthew Perry was a beloved figure on our TV screens for decades but despite appearing in over 230 episodes of Friends, countless fans never noticed that the Chandler actor was missing the tip of one of his fingers the entire time.

Matthew Perry lost the tip of his finger
Matthew Perry lost the tip of the middle finger on his right hand when he was just three years old.
He suffered the injury at nursery school when his finger got trapped in a door that was violently slammed shut.
Perry discussed the incident in a TV interview where he went on to explain that between the ages of three and eight, he would hide his injured hand in his pocket. But that changed when he met an airplane pilot who was also missing the tip of a finger back when young kids could visit the cockpit of planes.
“I was so distracted that, for the very first time, hand not in my pocket. So I was just like pointing at things and I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “The Air Canada pilot said ‘Let me see your finger,’ and I was like ‘Ugh, I can’t believe it, the one time for eight years my hand’s not in my pocket.’”
“And I reluctantly showed him and he showed me that he was missing the exact same part of his finger on the same hand,” he continued. “And I thought to myself, ‘He’s operating this whole big plane and he’s fine.’ And then I was better about it.”

Friends fans never noticed
Even though Friends premiered almost 30 years ago in 1994, many fans of the beloved US sitcom have taken decades to notice Matthew Perry’s injured finger, with several taking to social media to exclaim their surprise.
“I have watched this so many times and just now realized Matthew Perry is missing his fingertip,” said one fan on Reddit.
While another added: “I’ve seen every episode of Friends multiple times yet I’ve never noticed the tip of Matthew Perry’s middle finger is missing.”
This fan echoed the same message: “I’ve seen every episode literally 20+ times and never noticed.”
However, this fan had noticed the injury: “I have watched all seasons twice and have always noticed it. Weird how they can cover it up so well.”
And finally, following Matthew Perry’s tragic death, this fan on X (formerly Twitter) joked: “Matthew Perry is finally reunited with the missing tip of his finger.”
Matthew Perry’s childhood injury ended up inspiring a joke within Friends itself.
In the season 5 episode, The One with All the Thanksgivings, Monica plans to humiliate Matthew Perry’s character Chandler after he called her “fat” the year before.
Her attempt at getting revenge sees her trying to seduce him while holding a sharp kitchen knife.
But the prank goes horribly wrong when she accidentally drops the knife which severs the end of Chandler’s toe, leaving him in the hospital.
The entertainment world is in mourning following the tragic death of Friends star Matthew Perry. Social media is awash with touching tributes, none more tearjerking than a stunning viral artwork dubbed ‘The One Where We Lost a Friend.’

The One Where We Lost a Friend artwork goes viral
The death of Matthew Perry has prompted an outpouring of heartfelt messages from the actor’s friends, colleagues and fans across the world. But one tribute in particular has caught the attention of those on social media.
An artwork showing Perry’s Friends character, Chandler Bing, walking off into the distance alongside a chick and a duck has gone viral, with fans reposting the image alongside their dedications to the late actor.
The wholesome watercolor image is the work of UK-based artist Lucy Claire Dunbar, known on Instagram as @lucyclaireillustration. She posted the artwork alongside her own loving tribute: “I truly have no words. Sending love to his family, friends, everyone around the world. Thank you for the laughter.”
As well as sharing the artwork on her Instagram profile, Lucy is also selling prints of the piece on her website and Etsy store, priced at $45 / £36.
The chick and the duck were beloved characters
As well as Chandler Bing, the adorable artwork shows Matthew Perry’s character walking alongside a chick and a duck, something that more casual Friends fans may not be familiar with.
The birds are references to the pets Chandler and Joey adopted in the season 3 episode, The One With a Chick and a Duck.
Imaginatively named Chick and Duck, the birds were well cared for by Chandler and Joey, with the pair looking after the animals as if they were their own children.
Chick and Duck’s final on-screen appearance came in season 6, after which they disappeared, with the rest of the gang telling Joey that they had gone to live on a farm, when in fact they had died of old age.
Lucy Claire Dunbar’s artwork has received more than 560,000 likes at the time of writing, with more than 3,000 fans commenting on the post, either to add their own tributes or to commend the touching picture.
“A perfectly balanced tribute, as always,” said one fan on Instagram. “A comedy light just went out.”
While another added: “So sad. The duck and the chick though …🥺”
“This is beautiful. Thank you for always doing these lovely illustrations when someone passes. It really helps,” wrote this fan. “I’m so very sad. Friends helped my mental health so much and I’m grateful to everyone on that show.”
This fan commented: “So devastating, beautiful sketch and tribute to the one and only Chandler Bing.”
And finally, another commenter said: “Oh this illustration is so beautiful and brought tears to my eyes…so so sad 💔 I’m a big fan of Friends and I loved Chandler…and the chick and the duck 😢”
The ‘AITA for not letting my cousin experience motherhood’ story has Reddit warning about the consequences of giving in to family members’ bizarre demands.
Reddit is filled with mind-boggling stories of family drama and relationship troubles and this one is no different. Many of the platform’s users shared their thoughts after reading an unbelievable story. It sees the OP facing family members who demand she loan her baby to a dying relative for a few weeks.

OP’s cousin wants her baby for a few weeks
The OP reveals in her post that she has a 22-year-old cousin by marriage who is dying of cancer. “It was always her dream to marry and be a mom and now that’s not going to happen,” she reveals. The cousin also has a fiance, 30. They had a symbolic wedding ceremony to give the cousin an experience of getting married.
Her family then began looking to have access to a baby for a few weeks. This would help her fulfill her dream to experience motherhood. However, unsurprisingly, they have had difficulty finding a baby.
“There’s not a lot of ways to do that safely,” the OP notes. The OP and her husband are the only new-generation couple to have children in the family so far. They have two kids: a 23-month-old and a 10-month-old.
The OP had feared that, once the cousin’s parents ran out of alternative ways to fulfill her dying wish, they would turn to her. The cousin’s parents asked the OP if they could borrow her 10-month-old for “a few weeks.” The cousin and her fiance want to role-play as parents with their baby. They will do photoshoots and the cousin’s parents will also join in.

‘AITA for not letting my cousin experience motherhood’ deemed ‘creepy’
The OP notes how this all makes her really uncomfortable and how it is “creepy.” She also empathizes with the cousin who won’t get to live her dream but still believes that this is not the answer.
“I’m worried it will be traumatic for my baby. She’s almost a year old and will, well, notice that her entire family will just vanish overnight for what will seem like forever” the OP says.
She also notes how it’s a dangerous precedent to put her child into guardianship. Hence the OP said no to the cousin’s parents, who are hounding her now. They accuse the OP and her husband of being selfish because the cousin’s time is running out. They then offer “actual dollar amounts” for the OP to give up her kid for a few weeks.
The OP and her husband then filed a police report and informed the husband’s parents and siblings about what was going on. The husband’s family has blocked the cousin’s family on social media now.
Reddit users weigh in
“You are never the asshole for not loaning your baby for a 3-week make-believe photo shoot,” said a Reddit user. They further say, “What your cousin is going through is tragic but this is insane. Hard no and never feel guilty about this.”
“Man, that’s just messed up for so many reasons. Don’t put your family through hell due to your extended family’s lapse in sanity. Kid should come first,” said a second user.
A third user warned if the OP gave up her kid, the pictures from the photoshoot the cousin’s family does could backfire on her. “I can’t even imagine what would happen with those pictures down the road….imagine having to look at it at Christmas???” the said.
“Yeah… imagine being the kid and seeing all these pictures of them as an infant with their parents and then cut to the same baby with different parents… wtf?” said another person.
Ryan Gravenberch has once again been singled out for criticism after Liverpool’s Premier League newbie made the ‘not appropriate’ decision to turn down a call-up from the Netherlands U21 side.
It is a debate which continues to rumble on without an end in sight. Dutch under 21 coach Michael Reiziger once again quizzed about the former Ajax and Bayern Munich ace, and making it clear that the decision Ryan Gravenberch made at the start of September has not yet been forgotten.
Gravenberch rejected a call-up for the Dutch youth side because, as the country’s FA explained, he wanted to focus on getting settled into life at Liverpool, having moved to England only four days earlier.
Understandable, maybe. Forgivable, in some circumstances.

But not according to Reiziger. Gravenberch was conspicuous by his absence – both from the U21s and from the senior Netherlands side – this month as he bids to earn his place back in the good books.
Liverpool’s Ryan Gravenberch out of favour for Netherlands
“Ryan has great potential, that is clear,” Reiziger tells Good Morning Eredivisie. “He cancelled (on us) and we have sent a signal that this is not appropriate. We are in discussions with him, and it will work out fine.
“(But) you also want to send a signal that it is not normal to cancel. Of course, there are reasons for this.”
Reiziger points out that Ajax starlet Devyne Rensch also pulled out of contention after his partner gave birth. But that, he argues, was a far better reason than the one Gravenberch put forward.
“In Ryan’s situation we did not think it was permissible to cancel,” adds the former Middlesbrough defender, indicating that Liverpool’s £34 million man is likely to remain absent until the spring.
Getting better and better
“We are now closer to the next period (the November break) and we now want to keep the group as it is. After that, we are in March.
“We are talking to Ryan. We also see that he is a good football player, but we already knew that.”
Gravenberch produced his best Liverpool display yet in the 5-1 Europa League hammering of Toulouse, scoring after Darwin Nunez had somehow contrived to hit the post.
As fans mourn the loss of Matthew Perry, Friends fans around the globe are remembering their favorite quotes from the iconic character, Chandler Bing.
The Friends character was known for his sarcastic humor, and one-liners with many fans across the globe saying his jokes ‘got them through the darkest of days.’ We take a look back at our, and Twitter‘s favorite Chandler Bing quotes. We’re not great at advice, can we offer you a Chandler quote instead?
Credit: Netflix/Friends
A quote that will live on, and will be said for generations to come. This quote came in season 8, when Rachel was confiding in her friend for advice on her drama with Joey.
Oh, the relationship that could have been.
“Hi, I’m Chandler, I make jokes when I’m uncomfortable”
Oh, the never-ending drama of Richard and Monica. Poor Chandler could never get a break from the stud with a mustache.
He’s just about to propose to the love of his life, Monica Geller, when her ex Richard comes walking into the restaurant with his new partner.
The line, which sums up the character comes after Monica compliments her ex on his moustache, to which Chandler says to his new girlfriend: “And you don’t have a moustache.
“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!”
So, this one is more about the context than the quote. In arguably one of the most iconic episodes ever, The One with the Cop, Ross Ross decides to move his new couch to his apartment by himself, to save himself on the delivery fee.
In the epic scene, when trying to take the heavy coach off the stairs, in a line that will never remove itself from our brain, Ross can be heard screaming: “Pivot. Pivot! Pivot! Pi-vot. Pi-vot. Pi-vot!”
To which Chandler screams: “Shut up. Shut up! Shut UP!” Honestly, Chandler Bing was a mood.
“Up until 25 I thought the only response to ‘I love you’ was ‘Oh c**p’”
Another way the character just shows he’s a complete mood. The character played by Matthew Perry made people who were unlucky in love feel seen with his quotes.
Just another iconic quote that came from Joey and Rachel’s troubled love story. That didn’t work out in the end, but at least we got iconic Bing quotes to last us a lifetime.
In a huge plot twist, by season 8, Chandler’s married and Joey’s the one struggling in love. Who would’ve ever thought we’d see the day?
“If I were a guy and… did I just say ‘If I were a guy?’”
Once again, he’s offering relationship advice, but he may have gotten a little bit too caught up in this one…
Pheobe’s just told Mike the way he was planning to propose to her was “so tacky” after already saying no in Barbados.
Chandler’s trying to put himself in Mike’s shoes by imagining what he’d do if he ‘were a guy.’ But wait…
Matthew Perry’s favorite Friends quote: “OK. You have to stop the Q-tip when there’s resistance.”
This one is a favorite of many, but it’s also Matthew Perry‘s favorite ever Chandler Bing quote.
In an interview with Good Morning America, he chose the scene with Joey recommending his family tailor. Of course, we know that didn’t end very well.
In regular Tribbiani fashion, Joey gets confused about his age, leaving Chandler to respond with his favorite, most iconic quote.
“And I’m not ‘blah’ I am a hoot!”
Of course, we know a girl would never come between Joey and Chandler, but Kathy, and Janine, played by Elle McPherson came pretty close.
This iconic Chandler Bing quote comes from when Janine reveals to Joey that she’s not too keen on his besties, Chandler and Monica, saying Chandler is too “blah.”
That relationship obviously didn’t last too long, and of course, Monica gave Janine a piece of her mind.
“What’s wrong with me? Oh.. don’t open that door.”
The One With the Vows. Our fave thought he’d never get married, and now here he is writing his vows for the love of his life.
He sees Monica writing words down as fast as Speedy Gonzales, which prompts him to say (in his head): “Look at her go! She must love me more than I love her! What’s wrong with me? Ooh, don’t open that door.”
Even his thoughts are funny.
“What’s wrong with me?…. oh don’t open that door” Matthew Perry gave us Chandler Bing and Chandler gave us countless quotes to relate to. pic.twitter.com/x45GKKDn1k
“I’m funny, right? What do you know? You’re a door. You only like knock-knock jokes.”
Oh Chandler, if those walls (or doors) could talk. But yes, they would definitely say you were funny.
There’s no doubt about that one.

In the most emotional time ever, Chandler still manages to crack a joke. Chandler and Matthew Perry had one of the last quotes in the Friends series, jokingly asking where they should go for coffee, as they move out the iconic apartment, after spending 10 years glued to the sofa of Central Perk.
Even in times of misery, Chandler Bing never failed to make people smile. RIP Matthew Perry.
Matthew Perry rose to fame at the young age of 25, when he starred as the iconic Chandler Bing in the first series of Friends. Little did the cast know, their lives would never be the same again as it became one of the most loved, and watched, shows around the globe.
Although Chandler and Ross were the same age, and older than both Monica and Rachel in the show, Perry was actually the youngest of the whole cast. We take a look back at Matthew Perry’s early days, from his first appearance in Friends to his last photos.

October 2023: Matthew Perry posts for the final time days before death
Just days before his tragic death, Perry posted an Instagram photo of himself in his jacuzzi, which he captioned:
“Oh, so warm water swirling around makes you feel good? I’m Mattman.”
Matthew Perry grew up around his stepdad, journalist Keith Morrison, after his parents Suzanne and John Bennett Perry divorced when he was just one. As news of his tragic death breaks, the three have been seen entering their son’s LA home, where he is said to have died.
As fans remember Matthew after his tragic passing, here’s what his stepfather, Keith Morrison said about the Friends star, three years before his tragic death.

Keith Morrison’s ‘heartfelt words’ about Matthew Perry
Keith Morrison became Matthew Perry’s stepdad when he married his mother, Suzanne Perry, in 1981. At the time, the Friends star would have been around 12 years old.
The two are said to have shared a close bond, and in 2020, three years before Perry’s tragic death, Morrison called his stepson “an intense, talented, focused character,” in an interview with PEOPLE.
“He’s one of those people who always is the center of the room for a reason and it was so as a kid,” he told the publication.
Speaking on him growing up, the 76-year-old said: “He’s an intense, talented, focused character. He’s very bright. That was always the case as he was growing up.”
He then went on to say that Perry being picked for a role like Chandler ‘didn’t surprise him one bit.’
“Him being selected for a role like that does not surprise me one bit. It matched his particular sense of humor precisely, whether they wrote that for him knowing what he was like or whether he adapted it more for himself, probably a combination of the two.”
He then concluded by saying “That character is Matthew. Yeah, and it always has been him.”
Matthew Perry’s mother and father divorced when he was one
In a 2004 interview with NBC News, Perry revealed that his mother and father divorced when he was just one year of age.
“I was one. Yeah. So, I didn’t blame myself quite yet,” he said.
The TV icon’s father, John Bennett Perry is also an actor, and ironically, even played a small part in the role of Friends.
Hardcore fans of the show will remember him playing one of Rachel’s love interests, Joshua’s, dad, in season 4.
Just weeks before his tragic death, Perry posted an Instagram photo with his father, which he captioned: “Here is me, and my father John, both holding a beverage.”

After news broke of the star’s tragic death, his family, including his mother, father, and stepdad Keith were seen attending his Los Angeles home.
Multiple police cordoned off the scene, with a white tent placed next to his swimming pull, and jacuzzi, where Matthew is said to have apparently drowned.
Eventually, the three appeared to be in shock when they turned up at the home, where it is said a coroner’s vehicle could be seen, as per The Daily Mail.

A viral video suggests a couple could have possibly captured the growl of the mythological creature ‘El Cadejos’ on camera during their vacation in Costa Rica, but social media users have a logical explanation to justify the eerie sound.
With Halloween just around the corner, social media is full of spooky videos – most of which are fabricated to keep up with the occasion. That’s what many had to say after watching the footage of an alleged bigfoot presumed to be a man in a costume pulling a prank in remote Colorado. However, the video filmed in Costa Rica is slightly different in nature as you see nothing, but hear enough to not step out of the room!

Scary growl in viral video sparks ‘El Cadejos’ rumors
The video was reportedly filmed by a couple during their holiday in Costa Rica when they heard scary noises outside their room.
The caption posted under the video shared on UNILAD’s Instagram account says the noise “could be the mythically evil ‘El Cadejos’ also known as ‘Cadejos’”
For the unversed, Cadejos is a fantasy animal that finds its mention in legends unique to the Costa Rican culture. The terrifying creature is believed to be a ghost that looks like a big dog with long black hair, red eyes, and teeth like a jaguar with goat feet. It only appears in the night and walks around dragging its chain.
Even though the video doesn’t show Cadejos, the sound it plays and the time of the night it was captured lean toward the theory that it could have been a ghost. But, Costa Ricans refuse to believe it.
People of Costa Rica are sure it’s a howler monkey
A significant number of Costa Ricans have laughed off the rumors about Cadejos and educated people with a more reasonable explanation after listening to the sound played in the video.
The popular opinion claims the scary growls can be ascribed to howler monkeys, which hold a reputation for being one of the loudest primates on the planet.
One comment read: “That’s 100% a howler monkey. I can say that with absolute certainty.”
“Hahahaha, I’m from Costa Rica, and I’m sorry to be a party pooper but that’s a howler monkey. They’re pretty common throughout all of Costa Rica and you can see them travel in groups during the day,” said another.
A third user wrote: “I’m from Costa Rica, that’s a howler monkey.”

Find out how to do the Disney Pixar AI dog trend as the adorable challenge circles social media this month.
Bing Image Creator | Microsoft
Disney Pixar AI Dog Trend
The cute challenge involves turning your dog into a character from a Disney movie using artificial intelligence.
You use an AI image generator to cartoon-ify your furry friend and create a movie poster in the style of Pixar.
Your pooch will look just like some of their most famous dogs like Bolt and Dug, and you can design the entire film.
The trend is taking over Twitter and TikTok right now and it’s really easy to do – and doesn’t cost a penny either.
How to do the AI Pixar Dog Trend
To take part in the AI dog trend, you’ll need Bing’s free Image Creator tool which is available here. This is what to do:
Open the Bing Image Creator website.
Type in a prompt. You need to be really specific and describe your dog really well for it to actually look like your pooch. You need to say that you want a Disney Pixar-style movie poster, include your chosen title and give a detailed description of your pet including the breed, fur color, eye color and gender. You can also describe the background of the movie poster.
After that, tap ‘Join and Create’. You will then need to log in to your Microsoft account or create one to generate your AI images.
Then, you’ll get a message that says ‘Please wait. Your images are currently in progress Check back later to see if your images are ready’.
If you don’t like the AI images, you can tap ‘Create’ again with the same prompt to make four more. Do this as many times as you wish.
Click on ‘Download’ to save the image to your camera roll. Then, you can upload it to social media sites like TikTok and Twitter.
Bing Image Creator template
If you don’t know what to write in the prompt, here’s a generic template that will do the trick. Fill in the gaps and then copy this into the prompt box:
“A Disney Pixar-inspired movie poster with the title ‘YOUR TITLE’. A VERY DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF YOUR DOG. The scene should be set in the distinct digital art style of Pixar, with a focus on character expressions, vibrant colors and detailed textures that are characteristic of Pixar animation.”
Here are some examples for the description:
Wednesday is a black, female, sweet French Bulldog with brown eyes and white fur on her chest.
The main focus is a black and tan German Shepherd dog with bright brown eyes and a big smile.
An angry brown Dachshund is standing with a brown-haired woman wearing blue jeans and crying.
16 years later, the video of two adorable cats talking to each other is still relevant!
Cute videos of animals have been of interest to humans much before the advent of social media. Unlike viral moments in today’s world that die quickly after clocking millions of views in a short span of time, some videos on the Internet will never cease to catch our attention. So, let’s revisit the two talking kitties that melted hearts with their most adorable conversation.

Heartwarming video of two cats talking
The video of the talking kitties was first posted in 2007, and their conversation has clocked more than 103 million views and counting!
The cats – Stina and Mossy – are heard making the cutest of sounds as they respond to each other in the viral video. According to the description on YouTube, they kept up with that for almost an hour!
The heartwarming moment between them is described as “odd” because they were often seen fighting with each other. However, they seem to be enjoying each other’s company during the conversation which pet lovers are trying to decode.
It almost sounds like they are trying to meow while purring throughout the video, without budging from their respective spots.
The female cats Stina and Mossy were 10 years old when the video was filmed. They weren’t related to each other.
Adorable moment is still relevant years later
Social media users have unanimously agreed that the video of the talking cats is still relevant and it has the same impact as it did years ago regardless of the number of times it has been viewed.
One user said: “I still remember being like 2-3 years old and watching this video on a daily basis to make me smile. I’m now 14, almost 15, and I get so nostalgic watching this”
“This is really cute. It does actually look like they’re having a conversation with each other,” added another.
A third user said: “This is too cute. I’m grateful their conversation is immortalized on YouTube.”
“16 years later, still speaking facts,” wrote one.
You can actually speak to cats too
TikTok user Alec Newman has mastered the cat language it seems as if his lessons on understanding the animal are very effective. Here’s how you can interact with a kitty:
“Mah Mah Mah” – This mean “food”. When you mimic the sound, your cat understands you’re referring to food.
“Ma-AH” – means, “come here.” However, not all lessons work on different cats in the same way. Alec explains the second lesson may not work on all cats, because they don’t come when approached, unlike dogs.
“Brrrrrrrrr-ah” – This is a gentle “come here” or can be used to wake the cat up when it’s sleeping.
A girl has gone viral on TikTok with a skit in which her boyfriend has planned a couples Halloween costume with his girl best friend.
The viral video has left social media users furious – and many are sadly in agreement that the guy would definitely be cheating in that scenario.

Boyfriend plans Halloween costume with girl best friend
“So I told my boyfriend today I was like ‘Who are we gonna dress up as for Halloween like we should do a couple’s costume’,” the girl says in the TikTok clip.
However, he has already planned to dress up with his girl best friend and has been “planning it for a while”.
That’s a red flag in itself. However, the story gets even worse when the girl asks him what they are going to dress up as.
“Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift,” she says in disbelief. “Be honest with me am I being cheated on?”
The NFL star and singer sparked dating rumors in July and seemed to confirm it in September when she attended one of his games.
A source recently told People that things are getting “more serious” between them and they “share a strong work ethic”.
TikTok users are branding him a ‘cheater’
The video has had more than 12 million views and everyone is in agreement that the guy is definitely cheating on her with his girl best friend.
One person commented: “Simple answer. Yes he’s cheating.”
“GIRL, YOU NEED TO SAY SOMETHING NOW,” said another.
A third person added: “Don’t tolerate that disrespect.”
“Been there. That’s how it starts girl,” someone else wrote.
Another commented: “That’s definitely a red flag.”
The whole thing is a funny skit
Thankfully, the whole thing is actually a funny skit and nobody is getting cheated on – but it’s a very realistic scenario.
The clip was shared by a TikTok user called Louise Melcher who has more than 378,000 followers and shares comedic videos.
One recent clip is about how she got broken up with at a Beyonce concert and another says her boyfriend proposed to her at her sister’s wedding.
All of her videos are fake situations that revolve around relationships and often fool TikTok users who think they are real.
You better hope your boyfriend hasn’t planned a secret Halloween costume with his girl best friend!
One Reddit father thought he did nothing wrong by getting his twin children drastically different presents on their birthday, but fellow users think otherwise.
Reddit has become a popular and easily accessible platform to vent feelings concerning anything under the sun. You will find users looking for solutions to problems related to their careers, as well as others struggling to achieve clarity on their dysfunctional relationships with family and colleagues. Today, we are looking at a story shared by a father who is getting an earful for treating his twin children differently.

Father gets different birthday presents for his twins
The OP’s children recently turned 18 and he got them both gifts “accordingly”, without thinking through the consequences of the choices he made for them.
The father says his son always showed immense interest in cars and even has a part-time job to make his own earnings. So, he thought getting him a car, even though not new, would be a great idea.
However, his daughter has always seemed interested in clothes and make-up, so he assumed gifting her a visa card would be the best birthday present.
But, it seems, the OP didn’t take into consideration the huge difference in the value of the presents he gifted his children, which, unsurprisingly, didn’t sit well with the one who got the cheaper gift.
The dad says he was taken aback to see his daughter’s reaction to her birthday present, which according to him was still a very thoughtful gift.
Daughter gets a Visa gift card while the son gets a car
The OP got his son a used car, which he says isn’t expensive, but he got his daughter a Visa gift card worth $300. She was visibly upset after seeing her present.
But, the father goes on to justify his actions by citing his daughter’s interest in make-up and shopping as a reason to get her a gift card that’s much cheaper than what he got for his son.
According to the OP, the value of the respective gifts shouldn’t have been an issue as long as they met his children’s needs.
The father says he wasn’t intentionally showing “favoritism” with his choice of gifts for his twins, but users disagree.
Users call out the ‘sexist’ father
The OP was disappointed with fellow users after a number of them called him a “sexist” for gifting his son something considerably more expensive than what he got for his daughter.
One user said: “She’s never going to forgive him for this. I’m sure this isn’t the first time this favoritism has happened either.”
“YTA dude, you gave him a $10k car and her a cheap $300 Visa card,” said another.
A third person wrote: “A car is also just like a huge life milestone that opens up so many opportunities, the value isn’t just in the money.”
