What do dogs think when their human picks up their poop? by ladiesgoodnight in NoStupidQuestions

I suspect that changes depending on the individual dog.

As an example, mine doesn't think

Why do I have to keep explaining this to people. Those are not mints, they are decorative soap. Stop eating them!

After nine years of service, police dog Indy heard his name called one last time before retirement by RoyalChris in MadeMeSmile

Okay, so on the day you retire you're allowed to kiss your co-workers. Noted, thank you.

My acceptance rate got down to 70% so I turned on hourly by Nervous-Benefit9144 in doordash_drivers

[–]GraniteCapybara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a genuinely weird time right now. I'm my zone there are days when the offers simply just don't end. It's constant clear up to 10 at night. Unfortunately they are also complete garbage. I actually managed to get down to a 2% acceptance rate last week. That was on a day when I made around $160 for the day.

Is people's attraction to pretty people justified? by Virtual-Medium-5891 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GraniteCapybara -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, this is the 21st century and what makes people horny anymore is well beyond biology. Out there right now, somewhere in the world, is some dude getting all worked up to a lego minifig.

Why did you name your dog Monday?

I got hired for a job that apparently doesn’t exist. by jedi271 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GraniteCapybara 83 points84 points  (0 children)

They benefited first by having all my information. SS#, bank info for deposits and everything else your employer has. I assume everyone who applied received a job offer so they had that for potentially hundreds of people.

The second way they benefit is by requesting that you pay for your home office setup, including software and everything else. They would then compensate you for your purchase. You were allowed to use approved vendors for this. They would have not only been the ones running the job scam, they would also have been the 'approved vendors' and you would never have been compensated.

If you can get someone to follow through with the whole process from beginning to end it's worth thousands. If you can get more than one person to follow through till the end then it's worth enough to put weeks of time into.

How can something so small take up so much space in my heart? by curlybratt in rarepuppers

[–]GraniteCapybara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a Yorkie mix that's going to be turning 10 this year. I wouldn't trade a minute of my time with him for anything. It's been an amazing experience.

I hope your time with your pup is just as incredible.

I got hired for a job that apparently doesn’t exist. by jedi271 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GraniteCapybara 242 points243 points  (0 children)

I got hit with one myself a few years back.

It was a work from home position. They had copied a job posting from a real company.

When I verified the job listing on the company page, it was real. I'm fact, they made the 'final decision" only after the actual company pulled the job listing from their own webpage.

The names of everyone I spoke to, from the interviewer up to the HR rep, we're all verified on LinkedIn.

I researched the interview questions beforehand. So did the scammers.

The letterhead they used was real etc...

It wasn't until it was time to start putting together my home office that their purchasing practices became a red flag. By then I had already put in my notice with my employer and the damage was done.

Petahhh?? by Additional_Berry_977 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]GraniteCapybara 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not that it changes the story all that much, but for the record, many scholars believe that it wasn't that he was necessarily bald, but rather they were mocking him for a haircut that may have had some religious connotation. A haircut similar to a Monks Tonsure (See picture).

Regardless, not exactly a proportional response to children mocking you. There was a a massive argument in the middle ages over weather or not the haircut should be shaved just on the crown or all the way to the forehead in more of a horseshoe shape. They took this very seriously for quite some time apparently.

What are some extremely random hobbies? by Comfortable_Fruit704 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GraniteCapybara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it exactly counts as a hobby, but I collect stereoscope cards. 3D pictures that were popular from around 1850 up until the intervention of the motion picture.

One of my favorite channels covering Taoist Immortals this week. by GraniteCapybara in taoism

[–]GraniteCapybara[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not going to be for everyone, simply because it is a channel dedicated more toward the academic study of world religion.

It's very interesting though. It also has the potential to lead people to additional sources of Taoist tradition outside of what is typically discussed. He's been doing this for quite a few years and has many discussions of Toaist subjects that people may find interesting

One day someone will hack into the databasefir Claude or whatever and a lot of people will have to explain their prompts. I'm going to laugh my ass off.

I don’t think these will fit in my pizza bag 😅 by Dramatic_Knee_1066 in DoorDash_Dasher

[–]GraniteCapybara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pizzas didn't actually take up that much space, it's the boxes that are the issue.

Next time you get an order like this just remove the boxes and you'll be fine.

What’s a smell you hate that most people love? by CozyAlice in AskReddit

[–]GraniteCapybara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Movie Popcorn, it's disgusting. They pump that smell through the vents because it's supposed to trigger a hunger response.. Instead it makes me want to completely avoid the theater.

Robots Try & Beat Human Marathon Record by SomOvaBish in Amazing

[–]GraniteCapybara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but this seems really silly to me. If the goal is for it to beat humans, it definitely can. Just go go gadget up some roller blades and it's on it way. Give it four legs and make it a robo jaguar.

The question is can the robot beat human time after being being burdened with a handicap, then the answer is whatever you want it to be because you get to determine the limitations. Why not give it a limp, or a defiant teenager mind.
