Cant hear shit

edit: but thanks

[–]zmilla93[!] 2 points3 points ago

Certain glasses will produce a low hum when you circle the rim of the glass with a wet finger. That hum is what is causing the dogs to be confused.

[–]One-guy 2 points3 points ago

Thanks!

[–]casmafen 0 points1 point ago

my brain automatically inserted the sound. that or there's a fucking ringing in my ears

[–]Ospov 0 points1 point ago

Me too, but that could be because I already knew glasses could make that sound.

[–]ebg13 28 points29 points ago

Hi everyone it's H-TO-THE-HUSKY HUSKY BACK WITH SOME MORE STARCRAAAFT TWO ACTION. Wait, is he.. HE IS, LADIES and GENTLEMEN we have a eight scv all in forward rax pressure rush coming up, but I'm so confused, he doesn't even have his supply depot BUILDING yet why would he... OH, IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A MISCLICK, BOY was I confused there, he meant to sent out his SCOUT but accidentally double CLICKED on it, wasting PRECIOUS mining time. Man, I was SO confused there, I was like "what is going on, what new strat is our Korean player going with today!?" But no, just a misclick. I feel like half the times I get excited for new builds or tactics it's just due to a grand master misclicking, because ... OH Early stalker pressure coming in here for our protoss player, oh and that is gg, mostly due almost entirely to that early misclick. WELL this looks like one of my shortest games ever CASTED, but yeah, lets go back to that misclick, where is it... OH here it is! Yeah. Well that's it for today; I'll see you guys NEXT TIME.

[–]AfroJimbo 1 point2 points ago

I want to be a cute dog in my next life. Act stupid and you are showered with love. And belly rubs. I love belly rubs.

[–]jstarlee 4 points5 points ago

You are also very likely to be neutered early in your life...

[–]registeredandlurking 2 points3 points ago

doesn't matter, got belly rubs.

[–]asexualme 1 point2 points ago

Don't anthropomorphize. Animals don't care about their balls/ovaries OR sex in the same capacity as humans.

[–]SeriouslyLaughing 3 points4 points ago

Cats are where it's at.

[–]AlexTalbot 5 points6 points ago

My retriever does this when he hears a sound that is distinctly different to anything he has heard before (he's still only young), low humming noises are especially intriguing for him.

[–]boomerang42 13 points14 points ago

What...

the...

fuck...

is....

going...

on?!

[–]miketdavis 28 points29 points ago

My puggle does that when I play national geographic wolves on the TV. Wolves howl and he bobs his head back and forth at the TV like maybe there is a fucking wolf behind it that he just can't see.

Dogs are funny. And stupid.

[–]zetanio 89 points90 points ago

Wrong. Dogs tilt their heads to help them distinguish the source of the sound.

Source: Asked a veterinarian.

[–]wcg66 7 points8 points ago

I think because it's difficult to detect the source of high frequency sounds, the dogs are trying to triangulate the source of the sound.

[–]ask0 13 points14 points ago

thanks that is interesting. So its the sound and not the visual or them trying to figure something out. My German Sheppard used to do that.

[–]zetanio 19 points20 points ago

It's more them trying to get both senses on the same page. They don't associate the sound with anything so they try to track the sound to visually associate it. It's why they stop doing after awhile (in a given circumstance)

[–]Suenagaeiji 52 points53 points ago

I think we can all just agree the head tilting is adorable.

[–]zetanio 12 points13 points ago

Agreed!

[–]dafragsta 2 points3 points ago

I have a two year old puppy. She still does this when I ask her if she wants something or make weird noises. She also still does that cute puppy finger chomp thing. I've never had a dog that was stuck in such an awesome state of arrested development. The downside is that it has been a nightmare trying to housebreak her.

[–]TheOuts1der 2 points3 points ago

What breed?

[–]dafragsta 1 point2 points ago

Miniature Schnauzer. She's a total dork. She actually was a puppy when that was taken.

[–]kwansolo 5 points6 points ago

when i say the word "walk", is my dog trying to distinguish the source of the sound

[–]deaft 5 points6 points ago

not necessarily, my dog tilts her head when i make confusing motions as well.

[–]MISSING_N0 4 points5 points ago

I bet you're still making sounds she can hear

[–]CowplusCowequalsCows 3 points4 points ago

Have you heard of the Brown Paper Bag Bandit?

He was caught rustling!

[–]Maisiexx 2 points3 points ago

I can just sit on the floor and look at my dog while tilting my head, and she will start doing it too.

[–]Mixed-Signals 3 points4 points ago

You and your Jedi head-tricks.

[–]jafrey 0 points1 point ago

Which is why it's hard with something as high pitched as a glass. High frequencies are very hard to pin point down. How many times have you walked around trying to find something beeping only to find out that it's just bouncing off of the wall and is coming from somewhere else.

[–]frickonature 14 points15 points ago

I don't think you used the word "sentient" correctly. Maybe you meant that dogs aren't as good at problem solving as humans?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]caitiecat 13 points14 points ago

I mean... dogs are sentient. Legally, this is recognized. They can suffer, they can have joy.

Definition: the ability to feel, perceive or be conscious, or to have subjective experiences.

[–]the_mad_man 6 points7 points ago

dogs are sentient, but what they are not is sapient

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]caitiecat 5 points6 points ago

Dogs do feel. They are sentient. That isn't the word you are looking for.

[–]BJoye23 2 points3 points ago

It's a fact that they are. There's no thinking one way or the other.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]BJoye23 1 point2 points ago

"Sentience is the ability to feel, perceive or be conscious, or to have subjective experiences." Pretty sure dogs can feel and perceive.

[–]smartalbert 6 points7 points ago

he can hear a glassdog howling but he can't see it

[–]mrsrkevin 2 points3 points ago

I thought this was going to be a confused fat kid...

[–]inowhatimtlkingabout 2 points3 points ago

I wonder what that sounds like to dog ears.

[–]jahoosuphat 2 points3 points ago

This is a repost, but how am I supposed to NOT upvote it?

[–]raehza 2 points3 points ago

That's adorable as fuck

[–]ilikedogz 1 point2 points ago

I like dogz.

[–]grivo242 1 point2 points ago

I'm gonna start turning my head like this when I can't figure something out.

[–]IAmMaximus 1 point2 points ago

Reminds me of this episode of Modern Family.

[–]Kelsomatic 1 point2 points ago

Can anyone explain why dogs do this, and why it is so god damned cute?

[–]GrumpySteen 1 point2 points ago

Dogs turn their heads like that for a few reasons, one of which is to allow them to hear better and localize sounds. The puppy hears something and is trying to hear it better and figure out where the sound is coming from.

Why it's cute to a human is probably a complicated mix of genetics and environment and who knows what else that's beyond my ability to explain.

[–]Kelsomatic 0 points1 point ago

Oh that makes sense. It's listening to the sound from multiple angles to better understand where it is coming from. I think we humans probably find it cute because we associate it with being confused, as sometimes people tilt their heads a bit when confused. So when a dog does it we see it as anthropomorphic behavior. Really just a guess though.

[–]frdmn 1 point2 points ago

Relevant.

[–]mrgnome1538 0 points1 point ago

I love when dogs do this! Absolutly adorable

[–]brucecrossan 3 points4 points ago

My dog does this with almost any sound.

[–]JacobMHS 1 point2 points ago

I want it so badly!

[–]GoWithItGirl 1 point2 points ago

One instance where I would prefer a video over a gif

[–]zt666 0 points1 point ago

Immediately thought of this comic strip.

[–]HolyCheezus 0 points1 point ago

Also made me think of this cute video.

[–]edwin_on_reddit 0 points1 point ago

Did anyone else try to turn their speaker volume up, only to realize that it was a .gif?

[–]watson28 0 points1 point ago

AWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[–]triggdev 0 points1 point ago

Why do dogs turn their heads when they are confused?

[–]taekwondeaux 0 points1 point ago

if you have ears on either side of your head, you can locate noises effectively "in 2D", on a horizontal plane, but if you're shifting their relative orientation, your mind can triangulate the origin of a noise in 3D space. does that make any sense? people actually do it unconsciously, too. it just helps you gain information about a sound when there's something confusing.

[–]new-socks 0 points1 point ago

Look at him at the beginning. He's like "Are you rolling? Should I start now so that you can get all that karma?"

[–]Mamuto 0 points1 point ago

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooohhhheeeeeeeeee

[–]ptowner7711 0 points1 point ago

I had the exact same reaction the first time someone did that with a crystal glass. Mind = Blown.

[–]protomd 0 points1 point ago

".....how u doin' 'nat??"

[–]Home_sweet_dome 0 points1 point ago

He isn't "confused". He is directing his ears to determine the direction the sound is coming in.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

haha, my dog does this when I play guitar. When I play electric he even looks behind the amplifier to see if something's there.

[–]gryllz1991 0 points1 point ago

repost but this is so cute I'd still give it upvotes if it was posted every hour.

[–]phailsafe 0 points1 point ago

as the owner of a husky, i must try this right now. brb

edit: got him to perk up, but no head turning :(

[–]entersimon 0 points1 point ago

I thought dogs did this to help find the source of the noise. Tilting the head changes the timing of when the sound enters each ear, helping them locate the sound source in space.

Or, I'm wrong. Tell me, damn it!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I tried playing violin for my sister's husky once. He flipped out every time I started.

[–]Amateur1234 0 points1 point ago

Funny, the post under this one is a heart nipple.

[–]LM4 0 points1 point ago

Dogs don't do this because they are confused... The do it to get a different angle to hear a sound.

[–]Fyresnyper 0 points1 point ago

"Maybe if I tilt my head I can understand it."

My wife's dog always did this. I compared it to when Luke sees Princess Leia for the first time in episode A New Hope... he does that exact motion in his Stormtrooper helmet.
