Show HN: I crunched the day's tech news into a 3-minute read

There's too much on the internet to keep up with tech and AI. Hundreds of stories a day across dozens of sources, and most of it is noise.

So I built scrunch.fyi... every day it covers what happened in the world of tech and AI, crunched into a 3-minute read: what happened, why it matters. Every item links its source.

"crunch" the noise down to what matters.

We’ve lowered the bar for customer service way too much.

I understand service jobs can be incredibly stressful. I too am a service worker, and have been for 15 years.

But somewhere along the way, we’ve started acting like customers should accept openly rude, dismissive, or hostile behavior because the employee might be having a bad day or something.

Everyone has bad days. Most jobs still require a baseline level of professionalism.

I’m not saying workers should be fake cheerful, tolerate abuse, or “the customer is always right.” But if a server rolls their eyes when asked for something, a cashier acts annoyed that a customer exists, or an employee treats basic questions like an inconvenience, that’s still poor service.

Why are you mad I’m here asking for a coffee? Isn’t that your job? I would never give my customers the kind of attitude I get from some service workers these days.

We’ve become so focused on empathizing with workers that we’ve forgotten customers deserve basic courtesy too.

HELP why is this happening? and how do i fix it??

Our outdoor cat (Waffles) has been getting attacked by these birds for weeks now. We constantly run outside, throw shoes, and yell at them to scare them away. But, the birds don’t care. They do this all day long, and they’re RELENTLESS. Even if Waffles hides under a car, the birds will dive under the car. Waffles even got a little cut on her face a couple weeks ago, yet she doesn’t want to come inside for shelter. I tried to bring her in, but she likes the outside. Why does this keep happening? I think they’re blue jays? Why doesn’t Waffles fight back? Has anyone experienced this before? How do I make it stop? EDIT: Thank you everyone for all the advice and suggestions. I know the obvious answer is to put her inside, but it’s not that easy. Waffles used to be an indoor cat until she started peeing everywhere and scratching things up. She also does not get along with the other cat. For context, This is my boyfriend’s mom’s house, and I just moved in. I’ve never had a cat before… nonetheless, cared and loved one - so before you call me stupid and ignorant just know that with being a cat mom, I actually am 🥲 Also… I did ask bf’s mom if we can bring her inside. I’m still waiting for her response, as it’s not my place to make those kind of decisions around here. submitted by /u/yummycrunchygrapes to r/cats [link] [comments]

Tire was just punctured by 6 of these, we can’t figure out what it is…

It seems deliberate based on the spacing of them in the tire, but I can’t find anything online. I can’t tell what they are after they were pulled out, especially! Thanks! submitted by /u/devinjf15 to r/whatisit [link] [comments]
