I’m under the impression that Google deliberately hinders their YouTube platform just because you have ad-blockers. With videos taking time to buffer, seems to signal this, because it almost makes up nearly the amount of time for when ads take if you had to watch them. So since you’re ad-blocking and they don’t like that, they’ll make your experience miserable until you want to pay their service or not use ad-block.

    That cats sense something we can’t. Think of it this way, if we didn’t have ears, we wouldn’t know there’s such thing as sound. Maybe there is some sort of thing that exists that humans lack the organs to percieve but cats can

      Cat ears are more sensitive and more directional than ours; their little dorito ears have more gain, and they can swivel them around. If you ever see a cat staring at apparently nothing, she’s probably not looking, she’s probably listening, and depending on how her ears are configured maybe not in the direction her face is pointed.

      A cat is staring at a wall outlet? The wires might be loose and arcing, causing a ticking sound that pushes the “rodent detected” button in kitty’s head.

      They kind of do. Not through some extra sense, but because they have insanely good hearing, and very low visual acuity combined with really good motion detection.

      They have a completely different perception of the world, basically everything is a blur, but moving objects stand out. That’s why cats can stare at an unmoving laser dot: they’re not unmoving if you’re a cat.
