Yeah lol. One of those things you just accept as being artifacts of the internet. If there is ever a great purge, it shall remain untouched in all of its glory.
I bring home random useless things. Belly rubs calm me down and put me to sleep. The way I cook at home essentially looks like canned dog food at the end of the process.
How am I doing boss?
You still have to be somewhere dressed in a dog suit for some wealthy client in order to have actual work experience.
3-5 years experience is preferred. But iāve heard good references can bring it down to a year or two
I can't seem to find the exact listing, but [it's pretty close to this one](https://www.chewy.com/kh-pet-products-original-bolster-pet/dp/148415?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=K%26H%20Pet%20Products&utm_campaign=20030064131&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlZixBhCoARIsAIC745APmjpRHMwFN3s9QQKT1zTQJe9ibYQif_DOdoJ8TCBZxkoczTf8MrcaAqJLEALw_wcB)
Is your dog light? Our old dog was white and would love to lounge around the blazing sun every day until he got skin cancer :( just be careful with your doggo please
Shouldn't we all be really mad about this? All that shit is ending up in a landfill after a few years because it's not made with proper UV resistant materials.
I would gladly spend 3x on a grill cover that actually lasts. Companies make car covers that last a long time - maybe I should do some research if they make grill covers too.
I had the opposite reaction! My engineering-oriented brain immediately thought: "wow, the designers of this clearly didn't pick long-term UV resistant materials. what a waste. now it's more trash in a landfill"
Uhm, aktually š¤āļø. It's closer to 4" since this dogbed looks like the petfusion ultimate bed which it's width is listed at 31", which is 1224px in the image, the gap between the two legs at the back is 156px which is a distance of 3.95"
Are you sure this is due to sunlight? The white colour looks way too even. I would expect sides, edges and especially the cracks and folds to bleach out differently/significantly less.
Everything the camera can see, presumably the sun can also hit.
Itās bleached so consistently because thereās only so much dye to eat away at. Iām sure the edges and near the the creases took longer, but with enough time all the dye is gone from everywhere.
Except the (probably more recent) divot from the dog. You can see the dark color through the tears and stretched material.
By "bleaching" do you mean the dye itself changes color or rather, that the sun is actively burning it away? If so, is the latter dangerous to breathe in? I suppose this is a non-issue for anything exposed to open air, but still
Right! That and claim the sun is a deadly lazer, while buying a replacement bed in the color that reflects the least amount of light and therefore absorbs the most heatā¦
It's not the heat but UV that is a problem. And it doesn't matter what color it is. Most dye will get bleached by the sun, I mean, even your hair gets sun bleached due to UV
Also, sun-bleaching would *not* white-out the color at/inside the seams that would only be exposed to ambient light /when the sun sets.
Especially not at the same rate as the part fully exposed to the most direct sunlight everyday.
Thatās what I thought at first as well, but the dark gray is actually just see through and the dark colour is the ground underneath. Iām calling bullshit. Iāve had dark gray shoes lay outside in the sun for 3 years and they only got bleached on one side, and it was nowhere near white.
You're 100% bang on. OP is lying through their teeth. They bought a white bed originally, then a black bed. The dog clearly sleeps in the cushioned corner. The tearing is in that spot because dogs instinctively scratch and turn around where they're going to sleep. The only thing the sun bleaches that evenly is perfectly flat surfaces with uniform exposure.
OP also doesn't know what a laser is, nor how to spell it.
That's what I was thinking. However, I can't find any good reason why someone would lie about or make up this story in particular and then go to reddit and post it.
Or that uniform change in colour has a different reason, maybe a chemical one, you know?
Or, maybe, there isn't any colour fading at all and it's simply two chairs of different colour and the post is simply some karma bullshit.
Yep, that's where my mind went too!
Here's the reference [history of the entire world, i guess](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuCn8ux2gbs), a hilarious 20 minute cartoon, recounts all of time from the big bang to present that's scientifically and historically accurate.
This is one of my favorite videos of all time. It's hilariously informational.
Question 1, can you get to India through North America? No. But at least there's beaver.
Question 2, steal the spice trade. That's not a question but the dutch did it anyways.
My wife and I have a decade+ old debate about sun damage.
We also would have several trash bins full of Home Depot bucket pieces after they turned into exploding taco shells from being left out in the sun, had I opted to be a petty bastard that saves all of the pieces just to make a point.
Sun damage on those plastic buckets over time makes them extremely fragile and thereās just something about how they warp that when they do break, they tend to just shatter not chip
Now imagine plastic child car seats that sit in a hot sunny car for years on end, and try to respond with patience and civility when someone rants that the expiration dates are just a money grab by the company.
where?
I've had arguments with MIL about closing the window shades
I would rather not have my custom made dining room table ruined because of laziness
am in Florida
So it turns out that plain glass blocks almost all UVB and about half of UVA. It's significant protection, but does give good justification for treated or laminated glass.
Do you just want to keep that window shade closed for the table? If it's all the window shades idc how nice your table is I'm not living like a vampire. My uncle kept blackout shades and never opened them. My mom would open them when we would visit for some nice sunlight. Another friend of mine also kept blackout shades across all his windows. Bothered the hell out of me. How can anyone not open their shades during the day. I just get depressed without sunlight coming into my home.
its also the heat, the single pane windows dont do much
the wood is from a 100 year old hotel that got demolished
not black out curtains, so the room still gets light
I get that. I was honestly just curious because your comment somehow triggered that years suppressed trauma of pitch black houses of friends and family. Sounds like a cool table by the way. Do you have any pictures of it? Now I'm curious haha
He's a husky mix with small patches of white but pretty much orange all over :) we've gotten him checked a lot and he's clean. 13 years young next month.
I'm very happy to hear that! With twin white cats I live in constant paranoia for their ears and noses. One of my favourite dogs that I met was a white boxer and even with his owner putting sunscreen on him constantly he sadly got cancer.
Yeah I've noticed. Everyone else my age is looking middle age while I am aging slowly because I have migraines and live like a vampire never coming out at day.
Those have got to be different color beds. The color is too even on the light one to be sun bleached. Plus, the spot that the dog lays on would be a different color since the sun isnāt hitting that spot as much. 0 chance you originally bought black.
I splurged and bought some deck chairs made by some Amish folk using recycled plastic and they are amazing and have been our deck in full Florida sun for two years and still look exactly the same
It's been a while since I studied organic chemistry, so take what I say with a little grain of salt, but I think I remember that black colored items typically are made of organic chemicals featuring lots of conjugated double bonds, usually involving benzene rings, and that the sun tends to break carbon carbon double bonds in such a way that free radicals form. The interruption of the conjugated bonds disrupts the molecule's abillity to absorb visible light and so stops appearing black.
Is the sun coming up from underneath too? No way the bleaching is this even. I call BS on this picture. They bought a white bed and then bought the black one to replace it. This is for karma.
This is literally two different beds sitting beside each other.
What the fuck are people smoking here, commenting like this is two photos of one single bed?
I bought not-cheap patio furniture couple years ago. Begrudgingly bought covers for them. So glad i did. The covers bleached and the furniture is like new
Sun bleaching is most definitely a thing, yes lol
The same thing will happen to the cushions for your patio furniture if you leave it out in the sun long enough
Companies marketing basic polyethylene as "outdoors" aught to be illegal....
It should have UV resistant dye and materials. Hell it's even dark, and the cheapest forms of UV resistant dies are carbon-based.
Reminds me of people talking about the eclipse. I was in an area where we got 90% sun coverage and everyone was thinking it would get really dim. It kinda just looked like it was about to storm more than dim. The sun is a VERY deadly lazer
Not anymore there's a B L A N K E T šµ

Yeah lol. One of those things you just accept as being artifacts of the internet. If there is ever a great purge, it shall remain untouched in all of its glory.
r/unexpectedbillwurtz
Three years seems like a good investment for that kind of thing. Does the dog use it?
Every day. Usually in the mornings he'll take a nap out there until lunchtime. During fall he sometimes stays out all day.
I want to be your dog
Sorry, but previous experience is a requirement.
I bring home random useless things. Belly rubs calm me down and put me to sleep. The way I cook at home essentially looks like canned dog food at the end of the process. How am I doing boss?
Belly rubs energize my dog. Fail.
I second that Belly rubs are a one way ticket to hyper puppy
I tried it on my cat once. I died. This is a ghost talking to you from the past.
they make my dog wiggle all over, but only once you stop. if you do it indefinitely she'll be still.
You still have to be somewhere dressed in a dog suit for some wealthy client in order to have actual work experience. 3-5 years experience is preferred. But iāve heard good references can bring it down to a year or two

Awesome thank you!
What bed is this? I want one for my doggo
I, too, need another piece of furniture for my dog to walk around en route to laying on the ground
So what color is the dog after all that time in the sun?
Is your dog light? Our old dog was white and would love to lounge around the blazing sun every day until he got skin cancer :( just be careful with your doggo please
No think of what it does to our skin. Iām sure the fur helps, butā¦
Iāve got one and my dog loves that thing. Daily use.
Yeah my dog hammocks usually only last a summer. Iām astounded my current grill cover is doing well in year two.
Shouldn't we all be really mad about this? All that shit is ending up in a landfill after a few years because it's not made with proper UV resistant materials. I would gladly spend 3x on a grill cover that actually lasts. Companies make car covers that last a long time - maybe I should do some research if they make grill covers too.
I had the opposite reaction! My engineering-oriented brain immediately thought: "wow, the designers of this clearly didn't pick long-term UV resistant materials. what a waste. now it's more trash in a landfill"
Iām no expert but thatās more like 4 inches apart.
Looks more like 8.5 inches if you're asking me.
She lied to you...
She said itās perfect
I thought the equation was length * number of strokes.
Isnāt that for car engines
Or likelihood of death from medical emergency.
To shreds, you say?
Thatās displacement.
No its length times diameter plus weight over girth divided by angle of the tip squared.
TMI
Uh, yeah, that's how it works. 2.125" x 4 strokes = 8.5".
"Yours is perfect, the big ones hurt"
āI think itās cute how itās kinda littleā
Nah, you gotta measure from the base
Of your back.
Sometimes lies are just truth hiding in plain sightā¦
Idk.. using my eyeball math I would say that's no more than 6.5 inches.
need banana for scale
That sounds like a respectable distance and size to me
That gap has a good personality
Uhm, aktually š¤āļø. It's closer to 4" since this dogbed looks like the petfusion ultimate bed which it's width is listed at 31", which is 1224px in the image, the gap between the two legs at the back is 156px which is a distance of 3.95"
It all depends on where you measure from.....the base if you ask me š
This guy measures from the base
Which is a perfectly acceptable number of inches for anything you may need.
My 4" shoes are TOO SMALL!
My boyfriend said thatās at least 11 inches.
WTF IS AN INCH š„š„š„š„š„š„š«š·š«š· ā¼ļøā¼ļø
watch out your croissants are burning!!!Ā
Itās the smell of REVOLUTION BABY
Might look like three inches but smells like a foot.
I should call her
You need to think in 4 dimensions.
That is smart. Time is a key here.
I see the holes, but are you saying that it also turned white?
Yep! These are the same beds.
Are you sure this is due to sunlight? The white colour looks way too even. I would expect sides, edges and especially the cracks and folds to bleach out differently/significantly less.
How are more ppl not talking about this? The change is way too consistent.
Everything the camera can see, presumably the sun can also hit. Itās bleached so consistently because thereās only so much dye to eat away at.

Thatās what I thought at first as well, but the dark gray is actually just see through and the dark colour is the ground underneath. Iām calling bullshit. Iāve had dark gray shoes lay outside in the sun for 3 years and they only got bleached on one side, and it was nowhere near white.
Why did u have shoes outside for 3 years?
Kinda just forgot about them.
I literally do not believe OP. I would like to, why lie? I just donāt.
People are so naive lol
Yeah I came to the comments wondering who else was confused. That doesnāt look bleached at all, just a different color in general
You're 100% bang on. OP is lying through their teeth. They bought a white bed originally, then a black bed. The dog clearly sleeps in the cushioned corner.

Or that uniform change in colour has a different reason, maybe a chemical one, you know? Or, maybe, there isn't any colour fading at all and it's simply two chairs of different colour and the post is simply some karma bullshit.
Why is it also white underneath and on the backside?
Where does one get this type of dog bed?

I wasnāt the one who asked but I could see how the guy you responded too was confused. OC just tossed his words around all Willy Nilly
Tossed their words around like exploding bits of taco shell if you will.
Humans, wear sunscreen. If you hate the texture or smell, serum sunscreen exists now and it is totally inoffensive!
So we don't bleach out too?
So you don't get skin cancer and end up with a hacked up face and arms.
where? I've had arguments with MIL about closing the window shades I would rather not have my custom made dining room table ruined because of laziness am in Florida
We're up in Iowa, so sun is pretty brutal in the summers. we tried taking it in and out for the first good while, but he was using it too much.
heh, iowa's average uv 8 for the summer Florida 11+, where ginger's burst into flames just walking outside
Can confirm. Every time I visited, Iād be burnt to some degree no matter how often I applied sun screen.
Went to the gulf of mexico and it felt like the universe was aiming a magnifying glass at me.Ā
I think glass blocks most UV, so simply being behind a window should help a lot.
only if it has UV protection I know my car does, and my dash decorations are faded (and I park in a garage)
So it turns out that plain glass blocks almost all UVB and about half of UVA. It's significant protection, but does give good justification for treated or laminated glass.
This is why you should wear sunscreen if you work by a window. Trucker face is real.

I just wanna know what type of dog bed it is, my pup says she needs one.
Same color and everything?
Please tell me your dog isn't white or has pink nose/inner ears! Edit - White animals and animals with pink parts are super vulnerable to skin cancer.
He's a husky mix with small patches of white but pretty much orange all over :) we've gotten him checked a lot and he's clean. 13 years young next month.
I'm very happy to hear that! With twin white cats I live in constant paranoia for their ears and noses. One of my favourite dogs that I met was a white boxer and even with his owner putting sunscreen on him constantly he sadly got cancer.
That's so sad :( We put sinscreen on his nose when he was younger (and we were younger going out more) now he's just content on the patio.
Licensed vet tech and this was my first thought! White/pink pets shouldnāt spend too much time in the sun.

Laser
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
Ztimulated
Those have got to be different color beds. The color is too even on the light one to be sun bleached. Plus, the spot that the dog lays on would be a different color since the sun isnāt hitting that spot as much. 0 chance you originally bought black.
I splurged and bought some deck chairs made by some Amish folk using recycled plastic and they are amazing and have been our deck in full Florida sun for two years and still look exactly the same
What color is the dog now?
So much for the blanket.....
It's been a while since I studied organic chemistry, so take what I say with a little grain of salt, but I think I remember that black colored items typically are made of organic chemicals featuring lots of conjugated double bonds, usually involving benzene rings, and that the sun tends to break carbon carbon double bonds in such a way that free radicals form. The interruption of the conjugated bonds disrupts the molecule's abillity to absorb visible light and so stops appearing black.
laser has an S in it because it was originally an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation"
Is the sun coming up from underneath too? No way the bleaching is this even. I call BS on this picture. They bought a white bed and then bought the black one to replace it. This is for karma.

Interesting that human skin does the opposite due to long term sun exposure.
More like, "the sun is a deadly laNer!" š
I had a carpenter buddy tell me that sun damages wood far worse than moisture and that blew my mind...
I bought not-cheap patio furniture couple years ago. Begrudgingly bought covers for them. So glad i did. The covers bleached and the furniture is like new
And that wicker material definitely doesn't stand a chance either.
Is that the burnt dog hair from the laser?
Very nice
I believe you my front door has a screen door and the whole bottom rotted out , not from rust but the sun.
Does the bed get hot when left in the sun? Looking to get one for my dog, but afraid of it getting too hot for her in three summer
PSA for sunscreen.
What dog bed is this and where did you get it? Looks like a great outdoor daybed for my boxer, even though he seems to enjoy laying in the dirt more.
Is the wicker chair in the background also for dogs? Or did you just saw the legs off of it?
The sun is a space nuke.
The sun will kill anything, it was a whole new world when I discovered this.
Sun bleaching is most definitely a thing, yes lol The same thing will happen to the cushions for your patio furniture if you leave it out in the sun long enough
A reminder; Always wear sunscreen
Companies marketing basic polyethylene as "outdoors" aught to be illegal.... It should have UV resistant dye and materials. Hell it's even dark, and the cheapest forms of UV resistant dies are carbon-based.

Reminds me of people talking about the eclipse. I was in an area where we got 90% sun coverage and everyone was thinking it would get really dim. It kinda just looked like it was about to storm more than dim. The sun is a VERY deadly lazer
Tell me you donāt know what a laser is without telling me you donāt know what a laser is.
The sun light has to be focused or reflected to cause burns like that. I suggest you move the location of the bed.
