I noticed some odd things in the last few weeks of the old year.
1. A Canadian YouTuber just before Christmas distinctly wishing his viewers "Feliz Lavedad!" I hope Jose Feliciano didn't see it. Loosely translated "Happy Washing!"
2. A teenage Youtuber who fixes balky model trains on camera, got one a little out of his range of experience. He routinely cleans parts of the little DC motors which are always partly open these days, but this time he ran into a sealed one from the 1950s. Trying to pry it open, he managed to jab himself with a screwdriver on camera. Fortunately, he gave up before he destroyed it. Those old ones were sealed so they couldn't get dirty inside, but of course, if something did go wrong inside they were not repairable.
3. I got a "lost pet" robo call. It was for a parrot named Sydney. Sydney, it's cold outside this time of year even in Tucson. Fly home, boy!
4. It sounded like my cat was destroying the whole kitchen one afternoon. I ran in and found him jumping around on his hind legs, crashing with his body into the vertical blinds, scratching furiously at the glass door. Outside on the patio was a similar sized gray cat, just sitting and calmly watching my cat trying to get closer. The gray cat comes from a house the next street over. I guess this was the first time it was curious enough to approach the door and get a good look at my cat. Fortunately, it wasn't frantically scratching on its side trying to get in. The screen on that door would have been ripped to shreds!

Helpful hint from YouTube:
A: My child won't eat meat. What can I replace it with?
B: A dog. Dogs love meat.
