Parents worldwide have proposed a new group of events that showcase the everyday heroics required to raise children. These proposed events promise to be as grueling as the triathlon.
1. The Family Dog Walk The Family Dog Walk combines canine management with child safety in a chaotic, high-stakes event. Participants must walk two untrained dogs on leashes while pushing a stroller and ensuring a toddler doesn’t dart into oncoming traffic. This event requires world-class coordination, iron-clad patience, and the reflexes of a professional athlete. Extra points for picking up dog poop without the stroller rolling away.
2. The Toddler PJ Wrestling Match Inspired by the ancient art of Greco-Roman wrestling, the Toddler PJ Wrestling Match challenges parents to wrestle a wriggling toddler into a pair of zip-up pajamas that are at least one size too small. Competitors must contend with the notorious “alligator roll,” where the toddler thrashes and flails with the agility of a gazelle. Points are awarded for speed, technique, and completing the match without the parent or toddler crying.

It’s my website and sorry to hear you don’t like it. I found there are niche satire onion-like websites for many different topics such as sports, concerts, gaming, etc but none for parenting so I’m giving it a shot.
It’s well put together, I suppose. I’m not going to criticize you for trying to make a successful website or service in this day and age.
I will say that it looks like most of the text content is ai generated, and the authors also are pretty transparently fictitious. I’m not against ai, but you seem to try to hide the fact by possibly misleading your audience in the about section and modeling the site after existing websites with human authors.
If I may recommend something, try to find ways to be more transparent about ai use, and perhaps find novel ways to integrate real time inference into your site.
Hey thanks for the feedback.
I think you’re severely underestimating how much AI is used in what you read daily that is not disclosed. I assure you writers at Reuters, Fox News, The Onion, etc use AI to assist in writing/editing articles. (emphasis on assist as myself nor any respected journalist would copy/paste a whole AI article). Every company is leveraging AI tools and I run this website by myself so of course I will too. Even both my wife and my corporate jobs at different companies have both had presentations on how to use AI effectively and safely for our jobs.
AI isn’t nuanced enough for satire but I find it very helpful taking my ideas and helping form it into the formulaic style of a news article.
Oh, I know that most websites are shoveling automated slop. “Real” journalism websites are all in a race to the bottom, burning their credibility as pre-ai publications to publish ai generated content.
I think that emulating that is not a sustainable practice, and Personally, I also use Lemmy to avoid engaging with unlabeled ai generated content.
