Offbeat Fridays – The thread where offbeat headlines become front page news

Tildes is a very serious site, where we discuss very serious matters like automotive industry, enshittification and donald trump. Tags culled from the highest voted topics from the last seven days, if anyone was unclear.

But one of my favourite tags happens to be offbeat! Taking its original inspiration from Sir Nils Olav III, this thread is looking for any far-fetched offbeat stories lurking in the newspapers. It may not deserve its own post, but it deserves a wider audience!

    Shrek fans rejoice! Your favourite ogre's swamp is listed on Airbnb Euronews – Anca Ulea – 27th September 2023

    Shrek fans rejoice! Your favourite ogre's swamp is listed on Airbnb

    Three "brogres" will get the chance to spend two nights in a 'real-life' swamp in the Scottish highlands, decorated to look just like Shrek's home.

    It's our swamp now.

    If you've ever dreamed of spending the night in Shrek's muddy abode, you're in luck: Airbnb is offering a two-night stay to three lucky "brogres" in a life-sized model of the ogre's cosy quarters.

      Love that it's apparently listed by Donkey. I'm sure that it will be totally awesome and he's right the danger signs are for decoration.
