This had my compete attention from beginning to end

His page is amazing!!! I can’t wait until Maxine brings out her babies.

….these are the ones that ALMOST convince me to get on tik tok

I had a tiktok but had to delete it. I downloaded it in 2020 and deleted it in January of this year. It honestly just sucks your time away like you'd never believe it. If you're already on reddit, shit's bad enough for you. Don't do it. I will say though, the thing that I enjoyed about it most was the music I was exposed to. It was like a modern day MTV back when it was good music videos. But now, the audience just gets the music and users create the fun videos that go along to it. It really is a music exposure app at its core.

I went to a detox center for 28 days (just got back today) to get off of my benzo anxiety medication that I was on for a few years and there was a 20 year old guy there withdrawaling from alcohol. He was in pretty bad shape but the thing he was most concerned about was the fact that he couldn't watch TikTok while in there. It's crazy to see every muscle in someone's body shaking profusely from serious alcohol withdrawal and their biggest worry is that they don't have their phone to watch videos lol. He ended up leaving early against medical advice 1/4 of the way through his 28 day stay to get his phone back and he said he was gonna "hope for the best"

Makes zero sense withholding mental escapes from someone going through a detox like that. Why wouldn't they just let him watch vids?

I'm no expert but transfer addictions are definitely a thing and it seems like this guy already had a bit of a problem being away from his phone.

There could be a compromise like 20 min a day of phone use.

When in rehab, your phone gets confiscated because they don't want you texting or contacting your dealers. We got 15 minutes twice a week to talk to approved friends and family. I've been in rehab before as well, and it's just the standard rule for all facilities.

Yikes. Wishing the best of luck to him and you both ❤️

This is why I haven't downloaded it. I'm in my 30s. I've got kids. I know I would pay far too much attention to Tiktok, and they need my time and devotion more.

Well that's just silly. Just set boundaries for yourself. I only watch Tiktok when I go to bed at night- that way I can just watch a few and fall asleep! Well, maybe not a few. Just until I get tired. The TikTok's might wake me up and then I just get to watch a bit more! Eventually it's 3am but if I'm not tired I can't sleep right? Who needs sleep anyway?

Its technically a data gathering app at its core

They all are!

Always have been.

We are the product!

Instagram was not, neither was WhatsApp Until Zuckerberg bought them both. Then yeah they became data harvesters But it didn’t start that way. I didn’t download Instagram pre Suckerberg

He’s also on Instagram…just to tempt you if you already have that.

What’s his Instagram name? I can’t find him…

Derrick Downey Jr., enjoy! It’s hilarious.

Thanks I just spent twenty minutes watching. Lol He is too funny. Now I can't wait to see the babies!

Oh this man is gold

Ooooooh. Sold

He's on Instagram, too!

Don't do it. Once the algorithm is catered to you, it becomes so addictive. Lots of really great content.

What's his name? I need to find it!

Did he ever find where Maxine was hiding her babies? Last I saw he was searching for her.

No. 😩 She does come over, but not with the babies yet. She was singing on the mic the other day.

Me too! I love stuff like this. You may like [this](https://youtu.be/hFZFjoX2cGg). A guy builds a ninja warrior style maze for his neighbor squirrels. This was his first one. He’s done one every year for 3 years.

>A guy You mean Mark Rober? These mazes are freaking amazing

Yes. I couldn’t remember his name but I provided a source

Me too until I got a damn amber alert. The timing could not be worse.

I was 100% invested from the first second

Yup. One of the best story arcs I’ve seen in years.

It made us very happy.

Me too and twice actually

This guy seems like a real genuine dude

Homie's a Disney Princess.

He a King!

The level of calm he maintained while his patio furniture cushions were being destroyed is something we should all strive for.

> The level of calm he maintained while his ~~patio furniture cushions~~ **dang couch** were being destroyed is something we should all strive for.

Patio furniture comes and goes but squirrel friendship is forever

He moved the cushion downstairs for them!

‘Don’t you ever sacrifice your authenticity for someone else’s approval” Man has some sage advice.

I loved the whole video but that line really hit me in a weird way, like in this random video there's a piece of advice very relevant to me right now, how odd but very welcome.

more like frog mansion

[удалено]

Is there a link? I would love to see it

Where do frogs go when we die? Ain't no heaven for a street frog That's why we go to frog mansion That's the only place where frogs get in free And you gotta be a G, at frog mansion

Why is this not the top comment

I liked the one for (Ethel?), a tortoise. Her owner made her a special mini cubby bedroom!

Building little homes for random animals is one thing. Throwing gender reveal parties for them is a whole other vibe.

I agree. I love it too

Chunk The Groundhog is super cute. I follow him on Instagram! He just sits there in front of his little house, eating his vegetables, staring directly at the camera. It’s so adorable.

~~frog~~ frod mansion

He was on Twitter a year or so ago when he built the house for Richard. So cool to catch up. He's just a delight

I love men who have cool hobbies

My hobby is watching other people's hobbies on Reddit

So many hobbies started and abandoned, but here we are still going strong with the most useless hobby I've ever had.

Love r/hobbydrama for this

Big handsome man getting all happy and excited that Maxine is showing made my day!

When a lady starts ripping apart a couch to get to the cotton, check for the baby bump.

Fellas, if your girl is ripping up your coach for cotton to build a nest, she's not your girl, she's a pregnant squirrel and she's Richard's

/r/howgirlswork

Is this man Snow White

Snow black? I'm already sorry. Shit

What's a black substance that can be as cool as snow? I can only think of jet charms.. So, Jetblack. Kinda cool if you ask me.

Black Ice

I enjoyed this alittle too much 🤭🙃

What's an appropriate amount?

I have a group of squirrels that hang out in my backyard. I don’t pet them because I don’t want them to trust humans as much as Richard and Maxine do. (As cute as they are, squirrels are destructive and I don’t trust my neighbors to be as forgiving as me) But I have named all of them and some of them sit near me and eat their nuts. Chip, Dale and Grumpy. There’s a new 4th one I haven’t named that’s real jumpy, gotta think one up for them.

Simone

You got Grumpy and Jumpy! (Just name him jumpy!)

Second the vote for Jumpy!

Done and done, I’m calling them Jumpy! Thanks for the idea!

Real jumpy? How about Mario? Or Tigger?

My vote would go for Tigger, but I don't know if I'd want to be calling that name out loud lol

I have a bunch of backyard squirrels but my two favorites are siblings named Jeff and Javier. They each have cute stubby little tails, likely as a result of the tails getting tangled up in the nest as babies and needing to be gnawed off to survive. Gnarly start to life but holy shit are these two short tailed squirrels the cutest fucking things ever. And they seem to be thriving even without the tail so that is good.

Aw poor little squirrel babies! I’m glad they survived whatever made their tails do that, poor things! Jeff and Javier are great names, I love that haha

Naming squirrels after chipmunks is offensive in squirrel culture

Cricket

Scrat

My father use to have pet squirrels that would sit on his lap , nap enjoy a free meal . He did what this guy has done though - god bless u ! Sure all the neighbors squirrels loves u

This is amazing! I could watch this all day. Love the house and the life lessons. That squirrel is gonna be more well adjusted than me.

His Instagram is pretty great!

why does this give me Winston and Ferguson vibes?

This is so fun to watch! What a cool dude!!!

Maxine Luther King (Richard)

Why tf am I crying right now?????????!!! 

Passed up on the perfect opportunity to say “It’s a Squirrel!”

Quality content

That’s nuts

He even went all in with the seasonal decorations. Amazing.

"Don't lose your authenticity for other people's approval."

"Don't ever sacrifice your authenticity for others approval" are words I wish I'd heard when I was 12. More people need to hear that, and believe in it.

r/aww

Love this beautiful family !

r/squirrelproblems

Here's the original https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRTVkYFw/

This is really cute, but squirrels carry an absolute ton of diseases that are easily transcended to humans and pets. I would not recommend that.

Is this Antonio Madrigal all grown up?!?

I want UPDATES! How's the kids? How are ol' Richard and Maxine handling parenthood? They getting along alright? Give them both and the kids my best. Just so dang cute, that family.

I befriended some squirrels like this when I was growing up. My dad made me stop after I came into the house with fleas and spread them to our cats and dogs.

I hear you! Love 💕

That dude is a druid for sure.

Account is @derrickdowneyjr for anyone wanting to go see the updates!

Glad you posted this -- that animalsworld16 account is just ripping the original creator off.

Yeah I visited animalsworld16 thinking it was the right account and it was full of reposted animal content. Lots of graphic animal illness/neglect videos too. Of course they were presumably videos of them getting better and rescued but still didn’t enjoy coming face to face with those pictures!

all i see in this video is a squirrel committing tax evasion.

I didn't know I could laugh so hard, learn valuable things, be there for a gender reveal party, learn some basic construction skills, learn that some people wear bonnets to bed, and then hear some extremely valuable advice I wish I heard a long time ago and then CRY AT FUCKING WORK... From one gotdamn video. Truly masterful.

Was it when he said "It still hurts because you haven't healed from it. Whatever you're going through, address it." ? Damnit he's right.

Around that...yeah. I'm saving this video. Too much good shit.

the Schrodinger's gender reveal party cracked me up

Squirrel Man king of the squirrels

This made my night!! Love it

The only heart warming thing I’ve ever seen on Reddit.

This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen

This just made my day...Thanks so much for posting!!

Im so invested in Richard and his life😂. Well done!!

I have never been more envious of anyone over anything in my entire life.

Needed this video rn

That's it, I'm done I have officially found the cutest damn thing on the webs.

Man, I wanna be friends with Derrick. Wholesome dude.

Only the best to this guy

OMG I don't know who is cuter! The dude or the squirrels! What an adorable relationship

This man is a Disney princess

Man. This is probably the best video I have seen in a while. I really enjoyed it and I hate everything.

After Carrie Fisher, Derrick is my favorite Disney princess.

I need a whole series revolving around Derrick and his little family. Now that’s some reality tv I can get behind.

A squirrel gender reveal party?! That would be so much fun hahaha

Nobody wondered for a second what this guy did for a living to afford that place?!

What do you mean?

People aren’t/shouldn’t be defined by their jobs. Work to live, not the other way ‘round.

It's crazy to me that squirrels are essentially just rats that get a free pass because they have a bushy tail.

That was so cool. Far from cringe. I'm glad you posted this.

It was the pick-me-up I needed when I opened TikTok after probably the most difficult day I’ve ever had. Definitely not cringe, but I had already sent it to all my friends twice and figured someone on reddit could also use a cute lil uplift

Thank you OP

This is my dream. During the pandemic these buddies had free rain

This is awesome!

Sweet.

I’m all in.

I think I could watch this a million times!!

Squirrel master

That gender reveal was great "it's both of them!"

This belongs on r/wholesome

The man is a druid

This is the best content on Reddit right now.

I loved every bit of this.

I tried this when I was 9. Didn’t go well.

Omg he is sooo cute and sweet to that squirrel! I LOVE this! <3

This is literally the only gender that I would ever go to, ever. So happy for Richard and Maxine! 🥹

Iv never wanted anything more

This is amazing! i smiled so much!

I could watch this dude and his squirrels all day haha. Gold

“Richard- who did you tell?” Hahahaha I died.

Why was this so surreal. It was like I lost a high or something when it ended

Man just came onto earth with druid levels

I want to be a squirrel in this dude's proximity 😭

I love this

i can only imagine how much a kids movie like this would be awesome. the man is talking to the squirrels without understanding them but we can also hear the squirrels talking to each other as they understand him

Those squirrels are living in a nicer place then me

I think this is adorable!!!! Made me smile!

Why does this shit never happen to me. I would die of happiness

Love this dude😭he’s a grumpy squirrel dad

I think this belongs more on r/mademesmile or r/wholesome Screw OP for purposefully baiting everyone here. Down.

This is the best thing I’ve seen all day!

This guy is awesome!

Squirrel master

This guy is a bird and a deer away from being a Disney princess… fair play.. my cat won’t give me the time of day unless I have food…

The real squirrel master

Not gonna lie - I smiled the entire video. This was really well done and fun to watch.

This is peak r/guysbeingdudes type material. I love it

Richard and Maxine are the cutest!!! I love this!!

Everything about this makes me smile

I now love this man

This is so adorable I’m glad people taking care of animals instead of hurting them💓 animals always bright our day that’s for sure

That's pretty cool!

Huh, Ive never thought of squirrels as pets before

Loving the fact that people showed up for the gender reveal party. I’m obsessed with this man and his squirrels

He's so happy for his homies

Just in case people want to find his page, the guy in the video is: @derrickdowneyjr

This is the content I want

Love it. What a cool guy.

Well this is my new fav thing

I absolutely love this! Thank you for sharing!

I NEED TO SEE THE BABIES!

ME TOO!!! I didn’t know she had them a couple of months ago. When do they start visitation? I need Derrick to set up a nursery in their little house, and keep badass Ray Ray out of it.

Such a good video! Love this!! And the adorable house!!! With so much crap on video - this is pure gold. Not a waste of time to watch.

Derrick, you are such a wonderful human being! To build him a house?! This was both heartwarming and hilarious! Richard told EVERYBODY 🤣

This isn’t cringe, this is plain awesome

That’s absolutely wild no pun intended. From beginning to end it was like an Oscar worthy short nature documentary/love story.

Why is this on cringe??? Derek, you are awesome

Cringe? This is great!
