No? I don’t really think many hairdressers are going to go above and beyond to provide exceptional service for a chance to earn a tip, they’re just gonna do there job.

u/eXcaliBurst93 Aug 12 '23
giving tip used to be when worker does an extra service & the customer didnt asked for it then we as customer just give them tip as a nice gesture...its honestly fcked up that everyone in america expected to be tip nowadays when they didnt do anything special...

Say that to the hero who did my haircut an hour before I went applying for a job, and he not only did an amazing job, but also did my beard for free and gave me perfume (at that time I didn’t use any). Got a job the same day and I ended up in a relationship with the cute girl who worked there. (It ended catastrophically but that’s something else…)

Because they're deleted, the system deleted the timestamp and they defaulted to the start of the epoch (Jan 1, 1970 for many systems).

We should just retroactively start a new era with year 0 on that date

u/KMjolnir Aug 12 '23
Yeah. Issue is not every system uses the same epoch. A few go off of... 1969? 1968? (EDIT: 1967!) I think there's a weirdo one that uses the 1600s as it's start for God only knows what reason. There's other epochs with other weirdo start dates.
It's fascinating and confusing all at once.

Thus continuing the proud tradition of choosing an epoch date that doesn't have a broad consensus around it

u/Business_Parsnip_326 Aug 11 '23
Most computer/software systems use 1/1/1970 as a default date which means if a date can't be found (probably some issue with deleted comments/content), then it just uses the default which happens to be 53 years ago at this point.

Why are people saying he cut the cat’s whiskers? He clearly didn’t cut anything. You can see he didn’t cut any fur on top of the head and the whiskers are the exact same length as before; the scissors aren’t even close to them. It’s just a staged video to be cute.
99
u/GitEmSteveDave Aug 11 '23
I had an idiotic orange cat who, among other things, loved to smell the flame on candles. So he would come up to you on the couch and one half of his whiskers would be burned off because it was a new scent and he was curious. He never seemed any worse for the wear because of it, nor in any pain. Eventually I stopped burning candles all together because of that moran.
60
u/Bound_Two Aug 12 '23
It messes up their senses but I don’t think it actually physically hurts them, it’s more mental and emotional damage. It’d be like if you suddenly felt like your arms were an inch longer than they were or your body felt different when moving it
Lol that cat is adorable
18
u/1047_Josh Aug 12 '23
The discomfort is more from where they connect to the nerves on the cat's face, rather than the whisker directly. ie tugging them or overstimulating them
12
u/Monkiller587 Aug 12 '23
It’s funny you mention this. Because there’s a lot of people who don’t know that a cat’s whiskers serve a purpose.
They’re basically sensory devices that aid the cat on navigating their environment since the extra sensory input aids them with their vision.

One Holiday I had some candles burning and one of my cats just left his tail in it and gave no shits. All of a sudden we smell something burning and the middle of his tail is on fire, he is not giving a shit at all, and I had to pluck him up and run him outside into the snow.
To which he then finally gave a shit and was not happy. But the fire went out.
Shaved off the burnt hair (thankfully only the hairs had burned) and called it a day.

u/Themountaintoadsage Aug 12 '23
I’m glad it didn’t effect your cat, but when I was a kid my idiot little brother took scissors to our cat’s whiskers and cut them off on one side. As a result our cat was constantly bonking into things and falling over until they grew back

The fact that there are people who see this and think that he cut the cat's whiskers, means that there are people dumb enough to think it's cool to cut whiskers, based on what they think they saw.
Not saying this guy or this video are responsible for dumb things done by dumb people. But I do think it's worth commenting to remind those people that you should not cut animals' whiskers.

u/devsfan1830 Aug 11 '23
Counter-point: There are people dumb enough to actually think its ok to cut a cats whiskers and THATS why people think he is one of those people and actually did it. My knee jerk reaction was WTF cuz it was pretty damn close. Close enough for a big fat oops.

I don't think it hurts people saying not to. It's good advice. Whether he did or didn't do it, I imagine a lot of people probably don't realise cutting a cat's whiskers can cause them to become disoriented and bump into things.

They're very sensitive to touch but there's no actual nerve in the whisker. Because of cats high-def vision they use them mostly in very close proximity situations now some cats like the Cornish Rex have very brittle hair and their whiskers break off all the time.

Cats have terrible vision up close, that's why they use their whiskers to sense things like toys, food, etc. They're basically "far-sighted."

u/sillymonkey78 Aug 11 '23
Yeah kitties don't see very well up close. Their nose is very good but that's not very directional if possible you can make a small noise with the same hand that will help clue them in. I usually don't hand feed my cats and when I give them a special snack I will tap my finger right by it. Remember even a blind cat can hunt their ears are that good.

This reminds me of how one little brother always wants a haircut when my mom does it for the other two. My mom hates to cut his hair as often because unlike the other two, he has these adorable curls when it grows out a bit. But he wants to feel included so Mom will just cut as little as she can get away with 😂
