omfg that poor bat in the shower. imagine you've found a chill resting spot for your sleep time and suddenly you're drenched in water and a weird naked ape is staring at you

[@feha92]

Bigger issue is that this _actually_ means you have to get tested for rabies. It is often very silent and unnoticeable for years, before suddenly becoming an issue _only when it progressed enough to be incurable._ Horror stories on the internet has taught me that you need to be safe and test if you just finds a bat inside your house, as odds are it bit you without you noticing while asleep. Apparently even possible that it does while you are awake, and all you felt was a random slight pain (the bite marks are apparently very difficult to notice because they are rather feeble and tiny). So yeah. Bat in your shower? Get tested! Just a friendly PSA

I bought a Fire tablet a long time ago that I broke several times. Fortunately, I was able to have it replaced several times (I even got a new model the last time I dropped it near the end of my warranty, SquareTrade has PHENOMENAL service!) There was, however, an interesting stipulation in the ToS: two claims were not covered, which were an Act of God (WTF is that) and...infestation. I was curious how a fully-sealed tablet could be infested, thank you for the clarification.

That very last one hurts... During COVID, some people had the bright idea to disinfect money by microwaving it. I was working at a bank at the time, and one day, a customer came to the drive-thru and wanted to exchange $7,000 in $20 bills that were all nice and extra crispy! He tried claiming it was smoke damaged from a fire... No sir, you tried microwaving it like a dumb@ss and I had to very painstakingly count out each bill and try piecing together bits and pieces like a puzzle! Best part about all this? HE TOOK IT ALL BACK! 🤬🤬🤬

[@Puddingskin01]

Well of course he took it all back, you just touched it all and he has to microwave it again!

[@Kage6415]

@Puddingskin01 Take my angry upvote! 😠 🤣

[@feha92]

I mean, it's still legal tender even if it's broken. Replacing broken money (or even ones becoming outdated) with fresh ones is one of the services banks provides, no? Granted, still has to be provable it's not a fragment of a bill someone is trying to duplicate by handing in fragments one at a time. But that can usually be done by it either still being most of the bill, or by having the actual serial-number still legible on the bill (which can then be crossed off in the system as destroyed and replaced). And it sounds like the guy had them still mostly whole, and for the ones not whole still had all pieces and handed to you. What I don't get is why he would then take them back, instead of the whole replacement bills :p

[@charlieschuder9976]

@@feha92 There's two instances of serial numbers on the front; if they aren't both present and legible (they have to match), they are no longer considered legal tender. The customer probably destroyed most of the tender and thought, "Oh, this teller's an idiot! I'll just go home and tape these back together and spend them!"

The rice/lentil/egg/gourd combo at 6:51 is for deer. Possibly to get them to cross into (or out of) a hunting area or to stop them from crossing when fleeing a hunter? I guess hunters feed deer to control where they are when the hunters line up a shot. I just hope they don't shoot at deer next to the road when they see any cars near!

[@Zinervawyrm]

9:28 is that dollar general?!? I worked there and not only do they have anti Union propaganda everywhere employees go, but I too found a recording device. My manager was beyond pissed. Quit and everything. And I went with her.

[@feha92]

I honestly suspect that thing is rather something an employee brought in to record being maltreated or whistleblow big issues, tbh. Note the lack of cables, means it is battery powered and has on-board storage. Overall looked a lot like the casing for a RPI too (unsure (actually on second review I retract that, doesn't look like rpi))? Any battery that fits that won't likely survive too long (can be surprisingly long still, but not enough to be a piece of reliable surveillance equipment). Which also means the on/off button is likely meant to be used by whoever sat near it, during meetings they are present at. I really doubt an employer needs to secretly record a meeting they are already present at (rather, if they want to record they can just as well say it is for notary purposes and do so openly). It's also possible it is something entirely different. Like, is that a volume knob on it? If so it's probably more likely their speaker setup.

8:10 yes! Those are birds! These ones specifically are common starlings (known as European starling in the US). They are very well known for their extremely coordinated flight! They move in giants flocks that look like black clouds and seem to be controlled by a hive mind of sorts! Don’t worry, it isn’t actually a hive mind that controls their flights! Though we aren’t fully certain how they are this well coordinated the running theory is that they are very conscious of their direct neighbours in flight and adapt any minuscule changes in their patterns. We do know why we do this however. It’s a tactic to disorient birds of prey and make it hard for them to focus on a single bird and pick out a target to hunt.
