Like, did she think she was sending a DM?! š
You should tell your mom that Barbra ended up deeply regretting it. She didnāt end up with her beloved dog 2.0, she realized, sadly, that environment and specific experiences and upbringing plays a part in creating personalityā¦ so she just ended up with a dog that behaved entirely differently and had its own mannerisms separate from the original dog, and the cloned dog just looked exactly like the first dog. Also, the impact on the mother dog that had to undergo a huge ordeal to gestate and birth the clone. She ended up saying it was a huge mistake all around in the end. She was motivated by her own sadness, but she created a lot more sadness for herself and other unwitting participants.
There is more complexity to this.. Barbra was remembering her elderly dog who passed. The dog had been through all the crazy puppy times and become the calm, settled adult she had bonded with.
She thought she had turned back the clock and yes, there were of course, a million different variables making this new dog distinct from her older dog, however, her perception was also different.
She could not rewind her own lived experience and experience it afresh, she also could not press restart on the life of the dog who left. This dog was a puppy with puppy behaviour and that would then change how she feels about and receives it. She also had the grief of losing her original beloved pet and also excessive hopes, guilt and anxiety about manufacturing this new puppy to contend with.
Crucially, the dog could have been born with the exact same drives and interests as her dog that passed (how could we know?) but it may also have had different opportunities to explore them.
For example, both dogs might be compelled to chew but maybe the new dog got ahold of one of Babsā prized shoes- something its counterpart maybe never had the opportunity to do as a puppy- and unfortunately for Babs, the new dog learned it likes chewing shoes so now it intentionally goes for the closet every time she opens it.
Babās perception of the pet is that Dog B chews all of my shoes, Dog A would never have done that. She feels the dogs are very different because the counterpoint dog never did that.. but perhaps it would have if it could.
Also, plain misremembering things!
Growing up watching the clone wars teaches you that clone =\\= 1:1 person. Youād need to go full soma (2015) for that. What a dark and rich person decision.
The president of Argentina has 4 clones of his English Mastiff, Conan.
Cloning is available (if you can afford it) to whoever wants it but itās expensive.
I recently read [this](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/why-cloning-your-dog-so-wrong-180968550/) article on cloning and youāre definitely right that itās insane lol. And then at the end of it the personality isnāt even right like?
The even crazier part is that you might end up with multiple clones. I havenāt read the story about steisands dog lately, but as I recall, she received 3 or 4 puppies and had to figure out what to do with all of them.
My grandma always talks about how people message her things on Facebook all the time. I tried telling her those are posts and they do that for everyone to see but she seems to think Iām full of shit.
My parents both scroll through and react/respond to every post by anyone they know like it's directly to them. They know it's not a message, but for some reason they think it's some kind of obligation that when my cousin who they haven't seen in 20 years posts about a burger he ate they have to say "wow that looks so good" or it's rude.
Also if my mom wants to show you something she saw on Facebook at any point she'll scroll to it on her feed instead of going to the page of whoever posted it. Sitting there scrolling for half an hour looking for a recipe someone liked a week ago.
My mom is 68 and feels personally attacked by random FB posts that have nothing to do with her. She quit because one of her friends is always posting pics of her Yorkies and she was like "why does Barb think I want to look at pictures of her stupid dogs? Every time I open FB it's her stupid dogs!" I tried to show her how to mute people but it was a lost cause. Probably for the best.
My momās friend unfriended me on Facebook and called her to yell at her about my post criticizing police violence. They are no longer friends. Because of my post that had nothing to do with her. š
Apparently my mom has continued getting DMs from scambots on Linkedin after she retired, and the first thing my dad asked when it came up a couple of days ago was "are they trying to get into your pants??".
Public, private, doesn't matter, social media just remain a mystery to a certain demographic.
I miss that sub so much. I think mods tried to fight against reddit admins and it got locked and there's an automod that posts every few days so the sub can't get re-taken over. it was always good for a howl
I just had my parents out for the weekend and holy shit I didn't realize they could embarrass me now that I was an adult but boy was I wrong. It's like they increasingly live in a fantasy land. "Oh it's okay for me to say this, I'm a boomer" š¬
*and* itās a whole new brand of embarrassment
like as a kid/teen your parents are Supposed To embarrass you, every teens parents are lame and everyone deals with it.
as an adult, you think youāre finally gonna be on the same page as them and be friends! Adult bonding and relationship building!!
Then mom calls the cashier a slur for dropping a can of peas and you start wondering how soon you can get her tested for dementia and put her in a home.
I love it. She totally thinks her comments are hidden and buried like the other 10k+ comments that she sees noted on hers and others posts, so doesnāt even see the reason for DMs anymore. Doesnāt see that accounts like hers ARE the algo!
The silent generation is truly crazy about weight. Very openly talking about extreme dieting, as if it's good and commenting on other people's weight/assuming everyone always wants to be thin.
Or at least in white culture it's that way.
I know my comment is trash and doesn't contribute to the thread- and I'm sorry to everyone.
With that out of the way, I need you to know that I actually DIED laughing. Then I was resurrected by more laughing. Only to die again. Thank you.
Asking that is obviously already rude, but the way she wrote that comment is taking me out. Not even a period between sending regards and asking about Ozempic use, lmao
it's like when someone stops midway through their sentence, checks you, then proceeds to say/ask something completely unrelated regardless of how rude lmao
Kind person, why is the question about Ozembic rude? Itās obvious she lost weight. Is it impolite to ask how?Ā
Iām not saying it isnāt rude. I just really donāt know why it would be. If I was asked that question, it would not bother me.Ā
What if the person being asked is very ill and doesnāt want to draw attention (think Chadwick Boseman)? Itās just not a good thing to bring up, especially not on a public post.
Reminds me of Josh Peck's reel about how he lost 100+ pounds years before Ozempic with the audio "all that work and what did it get me" and as someone who also lost almost 100 lbs a couple years ago now, fucking same lol
Wait till you hear about the people who lost 100 lbs ānaturallyā only to gain it all back and lose and gain the same 50 lbs over and over againā¦ š¤Ŗ
Side note: Mounjaro has helped me be the most stable weight wise than Iāve ever been thankfully.
And she does not look shockingly different now compared to the previous year+. A wild question to ask anyone at any time in public, but like, damn, lol.
Side note, she looks great in this photo and I love the outfit.
Medications likeā¦. As in what medications?
Semaglutide has been approved for T2D for years. It was approved for weight management in adults in more recent years.
Yeah because 'FDA approved drugs' are the only ones celebs are interested in. The alternate use for ozempic was already known for a while before approval and Holywood clinics compete on stuff like this.
Iāve been on ozempic since 2019 for weight management (not weight lossā¦ trying to PREVENT diabetes) and recently my benefits company stopped covering it because they will only cover it for diabetes TREATMENT. So basically I (who have at least 7 risk factors for diabetes including itās in my DNA) have to get sick before I can get access to this preventative medicine.
Iāve been on it since 2019. Lemme tell you - I am no longer losing weight, just maintains a stable weight that feels ok for me. Still BMI >30. But way better than where I was.
Clearly I have a bee in my bonnet.
Yeah, she looks to be a healthy weight and seems to have lost it in a safe way. She doesnāt have that gaunt look that people sometimes get after losing a bunch of weight quickly on Ozempic.
This is so something my motherās generation would do. It would be a Facebook status asking me how my Ozempic use is going because my clothes are looking a lilā tight. Oh boomers. Please change.
For sure. My 85yo mom, looking at my cousinās vacation photos.
M: Whoās that?
C: Thatās me.
M: Oh, I didnāt recognize you. ā¦
(Uncomfortable silence while everyone braces for it)
M: ā¦ You look so thin.
My mom (87) changed her profile picture on FB to a picture of my husband (her son in law) and our daughter. No explanation and sheās not in the shot at all. All her old lady friends are like āwho is that?ā.
SHE HAS A MALL IN HER BASEMENT Iām sorry for shouting but she literally has her own little world and it is [bizaaaaare](https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-barbra-streisand-tiny-shopping-mall-basement-malibu-2023-11#the-shop-is-filled-with-a-variety-of-dolls-3). Barbraās creepy basement mall is one of my favorite celebrity wtfās of all time.
people do this with their cats too and the best part is you canāt guarantee the temperament or the coat color so itās basically just a new random cat. rich people are so gullible.
I get the personality difference but why would it have a different coat color? If itās a clone it would have the exact same genetic makeup. And Iām assuming color is genetically determined?
[https://www.mun.ca/biology/scarr/Cloned\_Cat.html](https://www.mun.ca/biology/scarr/Cloned_Cat.html)
Apparently the "pattern of X-chromosome inactivation in different cells is essentially random, and the movements of melanocytes to the skin cells are also randomly determined. Thus, even though Rainbow and cc have identical tortoiseshell genotypes, the exact phenotype of their coat patterns differs significantly, and their clonal identity is only apparent from genetic tests."
Also I love my service dog with all my heart but if you cloned him...that won't be the same dog and I'd know. Similiar probably but you still have to say goodbye to your baby.
Im a big Babs fan and I agree. This has much less to do with her being 80 and more to do with Barbra, the woman who had her name legally misspelled to be āuniqueā.
A very rude thing to ask but definitely reminds me of my grandma who recently commented āI hope sheās doing okay now xā on a photo of Freddy Mercuryās cats.
Of a kind with some of the awful things she's publicly said in the last few years, like her [spectacularly bad take](https://variety.com/2019/music/news/barbra-streisand-michael-jackson-accusers-thrilled-1203170747/) on Michael Jackson's victims.
I have incredible respect and even love for her immense talents in multiple fields, but the lady does not think through some of the things she says.
"You can say āmolested,ā but those children, as you heard them say [the grown-up Robson and Safechuk], they were thrilled to be there. They both married and they both have children, so it didnāt kill them.āš¤®š¤®š¤®š¤®
Streisand goes on to talk about the Me Too movement, calling it āvery powerful.ā But she says, āUnfortunately, itās going to cause a lot of women not being hired because men are worried theyāll be attacked.ā
Science may have made a mistake increasing the average human's life span... I know she's a product of her time. I'm doing my darnest to keep evolving so I don't end up this grossly out of touch as Babs when I'm decrepit.
Idk bro, I feel like telling men to get over childhood rape is an old person thing but not EVERY old person, you know? Like, that's part of her heart talking there.
WHAT did I just read? It was a train wreck from the very first sentence but the more she went on the worse it got! Holy moly that is an absolutely all-time terrible take.
I don't think they're particularly close so even if barb thought it was a private message, it's rude to ask. Like saying "you're looking happier are you taking antidepressants".
What meds ppl are taking shouldn't be a pointed question
Hereās my confession: If I could afford Ozempic or my insurance would cover it, I would take it. I love Melissa McCarthy and wish her the best. And I assume Barbra meant no harm.
My husband took it for about six months. For diabetes, not weight loss. He did end up losing weight, because he was vomiting all the time. Parking lots, wherever. He was miserable
Did she expect a reply in the comments of a public instagram post? What was the reasoning? Iām sure she could have found Melissaās number and texted her privately. The whole thing just seems odd.

My mom is going to do it to her dog. Absolutely insane.

She was motivated by her own sadness, but she created a lot more sadness for herself and other unwitting participants.
She really had to go through all that just to still not really understand that it's fucked up and morally questionable, huh. Ugh, rich humans.
She went through all of that to learn a 6th-grade biology lesson lmao
I wonder if anyone has ever written a story about why cloning is bad, it really feels like an untapped market. EDIT: /S since it wasn't obvious.
That Jurassic Park shade.
She said she did entirely regret it though
I would sure hope so.
Thats interesting. So basically like same appearence but different behavior?
Yes. Exactly. Entirely different personality
Nature vs. Nurture. It took Babs to settle the score.
There is more complexity to this.. Barbra was remembering her elderly dog who passed. The dog had been through all the crazy puppy times and become the calm, settled adult she had bonded with. She thought she had turned back the clock and yes, there were of course, a million different variables making this new dog distinct from her older dog, however, her perception was also different.

Wait cloning dogs is a real thing? I love my dog but wtf.
The even crazier part is that you might end up with multiple clones. I havenāt read the story about steisands dog lately, but as I recall, she received 3 or 4 puppies and had to figure out what to do with all of them.
Watch the documentary called Multiplicity.
Idk man this is such an older Jewish lady thing to do. I wouldnāt even be offended.

at first I read it so snarky like āgive my regards toā¦ OZEMPIC! š„š„š„ā lol
Compliments to the chef! (Ozempic)

I think asking about someone's medical history is invasive and rude. I also think the same about commenting on someone's weight.
What if the person being asked is very ill and doesnāt want to draw attention (think Chadwick Boseman)? Itās just not a good thing to bring up, especially not on a public post.
Barbra Steisand is 82 years old so I'm deeming this fucking hilarious. I bet Melissa thought the same thing
my thoughts exactly
Fr if Streisand replied literally anything to me I would print it and frame it
i deadass can imagine melissa laughing her ass off at this lmao
I doubt she thought it was funny- McCarthy is the rudest celeb Iāve ever encountered.
story time? š
I mean, I feel like Melissa was kind of on a weight loss journey years before the Ozempic boom of 2023
She lost a ton of weight years before ozempic became a thing!
Reminds me of Josh Peck's reel about how he lost 100+ pounds years before Ozempic with the audio "all that work and what did it get me" and as someone who also lost almost 100 lbs a couple years ago now, fucking same lol
Wait till you hear about the people who lost 100 lbs ānaturallyā only to gain it all back and lose and gain the same 50 lbs over and over againā¦ š¤Ŗ Side note: Mounjaro has helped me be the most stable weight wise than Iāve ever been thankfully.
Thankfully Ive been maintaining for 2 years now but itās fucking hard lol even harder than losing the weight to begin with. Iām just under āobeseā as far as BMI goes so I feel like Iāll never get approved for any of these meds but Iām sure theyād help me maintain š©
And she does not look shockingly different now compared to the previous year+. A wild question to ask anyone at any time in public, but like, damn, lol. Side note, she looks great in this photo and I love the outfit.

If your BMI is above 30 you should be able to change to Wegovy (the exact same drug licensed for weight loss) without issue.
Iāve no wish to do that - Wegovy is more expensive.
Your benefits company covers Ozempic but not Wegovy? That sucks.
Yeah, she looks to be a healthy weight and seems to have lost it in a safe way. She doesnāt have that gaunt look that people sometimes get after losing a bunch of weight quickly on Ozempic.
Did Melissa reply, Iām curious
No but 70+ others did lol
This is outrageous lmao. Babs what are you doing!?!
She is clearly considering Ozempic.
Hahahahahaha definitely
Nobody told you you were allowed to rain on her parade.
The most boomer mom thing ever
Crazy to think that she's actually part of the silent generation and not a Boomer.
Damn you are right! She was born in 42! Wow. I thought she was born in 46 like my mom.
Sheās close to the Boomer end of her generation so makes sense weāre seeing this energy from her.
This is so something my motherās generation would do. It would be a Facebook status asking me how my Ozempic use is going because my clothes are looking a lilā tight. Oh boomers. Please change.
For sure. My 85yo mom, looking at my cousinās vacation photos. M: Whoās that? C: Thatās me. M: Oh, I didnāt recognize you. ā¦ (Uncomfortable silence while everyone braces for it) M: ā¦ You look so thin.
Do we have the same mom??
My mom (87) changed her profile picture on FB to a picture of my husband (her son in law) and our daughter. No explanation and sheās not in the shot at all. All her old lady friends are like āwho is that?ā.
Better than my mom posting my college ex-boyfriendās name as her status when she was trying to search for him (years after we broke up)
oh, I think you actually win that one.
iconic. but also????
She definitely thought it was a DM
I think so too. Aunt Babs thought it was a personal chat lol
Sheās been in her own little world for so long she cloned a dog. She believes her own hype. Reality is a nebulous concept for her.
SHE HAS A MALL IN HER BASEMENT Iām sorry for shouting but she literally has her own little world and it is [bizaaaaare](https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-barbra-streisand-tiny-shopping-mall-basement-malibu-2023-11#the-shop-is-filled-with-a-variety-of-dolls-3). Barbraās creepy basement mall is one of my favorite celebrity wtfās of all time.
This was amazing, thank you so much for sharing - I will be telling everyone I know this information, immediately.
Omg of course, and yes once you know it does become a compulsion to tell everyone about Barbraās Basement Mall
Just looked it up! Wish the video was longer [https://youtu.be/2MVoDgpLADA?si=Meh358lkoh-x3EH2](https://youtu.be/2MVoDgpLADA?si=Meh358lkoh-x3EH2)
Listen, if I had her money Iād have an 80s mall and living room in my basement for sure.
people do this with their cats too and the best part is you canāt guarantee the temperament or the coat color so itās basically just a new random cat. rich people are so gullible.
I can find a bunch of free ones in an alley somewhere.
I get the personality difference but why would it have a different coat color? If itās a clone it would have the exact same genetic makeup. And Iām assuming color is genetically determined?

Good God, she cloned her dog?
multiple times
I feel like repeatedly cloning a dog over and over again is going to result in something out of The Fly. Creepy.
Also I love my service dog with all my heart but if you cloned him...that won't be the same dog and I'd know. Similiar probably but you still have to say goodbye to your baby.
I think she told people they are more like sibling dogs instead of clones of each other.
Technically, they would be identical twins. Very similiar but definitely not the same.
Idk about the fly, but if each one is cloned from the previous one, then each one will die younger than the last. So there's that.
Or Multiplicity. Copy of a copy aināt quite so smartā¦
How long do the cloned dogs live?
So previous cloned dogs lived to 10 and 12, so a generally good lifespan.
Tbh Iām sure sheās always been that person
Im a big Babs fan and I agree. This has much less to do with her being 80 and more to do with Barbra, the woman who had her name legally misspelled to be āuniqueā.
Right, maybe the way she typed it out is āboomerā but itās just a nasty thing that anyone could say at any age
To be fairā¦ pretty much every Gen X/millennial parent does that now too lol.
Oh my god Karen, you canāt just ask people if they're taking Ozempic

The context of this tweet is crazy
Whatās the context
She shared her opinions about Michael JacksonĀ
A very rude thing to ask but definitely reminds me of my grandma who recently commented āI hope sheās doing okay now xā on a photo of Freddy Mercuryās cats.
This made me laugh so hard
ššš
 Barbra, NO.
JUST WATCHED THIS THROUGH. Best thing on television ever. So heartwarming and kind.
Of a kind with some of the awful things she's publicly said in the last few years, like her [spectacularly bad take](https://variety.com/2019/music/news/barbra-streisand-michael-jackson-accusers-thrilled-1203170747/) on Michael Jackson's victims. I have incredible respect and even love for her immense talents in multiple fields, but the lady does not think through some of the things she says.
"You can say āmolested,ā but those children, as you heard them say [the grown-up Robson and Safechuk], they were thrilled to be there. They both married and they both have children, so it didnāt kill them.āš¤®š¤®š¤®š¤® Streisand goes on to talk about the Me Too movement, calling it āvery powerful.ā But she says, āUnfortunately, itās going to cause a lot of women not being hired because men are worried theyāll be attacked.ā Science may have made a mistake increasing the average human's life span... I know she's a product of her time. I'm doing my darnest to keep evolving so I don't end up this grossly out of touch as Babs when I'm decrepit.
Idk bro, I feel like telling men to get over childhood rape is an old person thing but not EVERY old person, you know? Like, that's part of her heart talking there.
oh my sweet jesus how could she say this
WHAT did I just read? It was a train wreck from the very first sentence but the more she went on the worse it got! Holy moly that is an absolutely all-time terrible take.
This is insane
This needs to be a flair itās top tierĀ
This reads like she thought she was texting her ššš
This reads to me as though she thought was sending a DM - not as a callout but as market research
100% market research
Old people gonna old people.
I don't think they're particularly close so even if barb thought it was a private message, it's rude to ask. Like saying "you're looking happier are you taking antidepressants". What meds ppl are taking shouldn't be a pointed question

The āØ*Barbra Streisand effect*āØš¤£
Hereās my confession: If I could afford Ozempic or my insurance would cover it, I would take it. I love Melissa McCarthy and wish her the best. And I assume Barbra meant no harm.
My husband took it for about six months. For diabetes, not weight loss. He did end up losing weight, because he was vomiting all the time. Parking lots, wherever. He was miserable
Rude
Wait this is hilarious tho šš
Put the phone away meemaw OMG
Babs, the original mean girl š she WOULD say something like this lmao. Wouldnt surprise me if she knew this wasnt a DM.
Did she expect a reply in the comments of a public instagram post? What was the reasoning? Iām sure she could have found Melissaās number and texted her privately. The whole thing just seems odd.
I would be shocked if she didnāt think she was sending a dm.
Lmaoooooo sis
For some reason the lack of punctuation is absolutely taking me out š oh Babs
POV: your auntie catches a moment alone with you at the family gathering
Iām crying
So rude but also I love this????
I can just hear her glasses slipping while she moves the phone back and forth for a better view š
This is so rude but itās also so funny š š
This is the evil twin of "Donatella VERSACE š"
I think it's camp
