Title: Show Off Your Household Pets!
Post by: BobbyHamilton on April 26, 2018, 16:53:14 PM
Hi, everyone! I've just created this thread for us to discuss our furry, little household companions. I have a ferret named Kyle. Yup, it’s a weird critter to own, but I’m always fascinated by this type of critter. He’s a fun-loving bundle of joy, usually, plays and hangs out in his comfortable big ferret cage (http://www.petstreetmall.com/Ferret-Nation/5156/2152/), munch on cooked eggs , and even cuddles with my wife while she watches TV. I hope to own one more someday, but for now, it’s just Jim and me for more fun-filled antics. How about you guys?

We used to have a large bearded dragon who enjoyed sleeping, scurrying and stalking locusts, as well as a splash around in a shallow bath. Sadly we had to hand him over to someone else to look after because of our working hours but he was fairly low maintenance.

I think this account is AI, the posting is suspicious, what's really got me raising an eyebrow is how the ferret goes from Kyle to Jim  :-X

yeah, are these new members some sort of super bot?

or maybe some call center like building somewhere jammed full of people posting stuff manually?

I’ve just been waiting for it to post some spam... the location and “local time” don’t match in the profile

Did a lookup:
AfriNIC (Africa)
APNIC (Asia Pacific region)
ARIN (North America, a portion of the Caribbean and sub-Saharan Africa)
LACNIC (Latin American and Caribbean region)
RIPE (Europe, the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia)

It's all very peculiar!

Yes, strange, Like someone is hiding their real IP address. Also seems I no longer have access to the IP addresses even though I'm still a moderator. Not that I use them often now. Hsn't even been a thread on over zealous mods in years...

it's odd there's no more replies?

you'd think a bot reply would be triggered after a few human replies?

I'm surprised this is a bot, as the context is pretty good in some cases..

For the various IP addresses I assume this was via TOR, the "local time" I guess comes from the system clock though, which would imply UK or at least GMT.. but I guess GMT is default?

Just Google:  ferret "munch on cooked eggs"

Several threads come up, all usually in jokes threads, or thanking someone after someone else thanks them or agreeing to some random posts, it's actually quite interesting.. but none of the threads seem to go anywhere? I don't see any of the usual spam links or anything.. very random...

I think it was Google AI getting some practice in for Duplex;
