Unfortunately a lot of aquariums encourage this with kids and have multiple "petting" areas where you can pet anything from stingrays to starfish, probably none of which enjoy being poked and grabbed by hundreds of kids every day.

Rays seem to like getting petted. In French Polynesia, they come and rub up against you like cats. It is a little unsettling.

I don't know if it's actively harmful to rays but I know you're really not supposed to touch starfish or expose parts of them to air, which the starfish petting areas always do because the water is so shallow and kids try and pick them up. When I bought a starfish for my tank there were super explicit warnings saying if you expose it to air while transferring it to the tank it will probably die.

That's weird, because I distinctly remember seeing the native types we have around here on exposed rocks at low tide. It must not be too bad for them.

I actually looked it up and the leading theory is pet stores say this because a lot of the starfish they sell die for unknown reasons very frequently so they have a lot of probably bullshit care instructions like that so they can deny you a refund if you admit to doing it, even if that wasn't the cause of death. I just assumed it was true because my fish store guy was particularly adamant about it.

There's usually a 24 or 48 hour ( i forget) guarantee where if it dies and you didn't do something stupid like step on it you can go back and exchange it for a new one/store credit. Not sure if you have to bring the fish corpse in with you though.

I work at a smartphone repair workshop, nothing big but good enough to attract a number of clients, I'm really young, 20, and I'm more of an introverted quiet type person, basically a concoction of insecurities.
Today, I came in earlier than usual, (even before the receptionist) and started setting up. While I'm doing this, a very attractive lady comes in, she had a body to die for and a face that breaks necks.(looked like she was late for a fashion show)
I ask her what the issue is and she informs that her IPhone 6s doesn't have any volume on calls. As she tells me this, the receptionist walks in and we exchange greetings as I get to work. Our receptionist is a generally talkative person so she starts chatting with the lady.
So I've already removed the screen and the motherboard, I turn on the heat gun and point it directly underneath the macro-microphone as it clearly needed a new one so I needed to heat it to remove it. That's when I overhear them talking about me.
Went something like "that guy in there is really handsome", which the receptionist responds with "yeah I know right, we don't so many hot guys in this field." I was so perplexed by this that I forgot I was directly frying a fragile piece of tech and I ended up damaging the entire motherboard. Hefty price to pay for a compliment.
tl;dr Insecure nerd, never been called hot. While working on a client's phone I overhear them calling me attractive and I end up making the phone worse than it came in.

Fake because it's called a logic board, not a motherboard. If this idiot actually repaired apple products he would know that. And don't say "well he said motherboard to make it clear what it was!"

Also I highly doubt any repair shop has legit parts or training to repair the inside of an iPhone, unless they are super sketchy and buy used phones off eBay. My scummy friend who has an apple-authorized repair shop sure as gently caress doesn't have any iPhone parts, and he is able to get parts directly from apple.

Just to overthink this more: I'm not sure this can even be argued as more progressive than the actual answer to this riddle ("the surgeon is the kid's mom") since the entire initial point is playing on the stereotype that surgeon is perceived as a masculine-gendered occupation, which "his other dad" buys into.

Frankly I can't even tell who is talking to whom, because the writing is bad and the dialogue is harder to follow than the dialogue in a Cormac McCarthy novel. I mean, I'm almost impressed at how the writer managed to make just a few lines of dialogue impossible to follow.

Today was my first day on the job as a Junior Software Developer and was my first non-internship position after university. Unfortunately i screwed up badly.
I was basically given a document detailing how to setup my local development environment. Which involves run a small script to create my own personal DB instance from some test data. After running the command i was supposed to copy the database url/password/username outputted by the command and configure my dev environment to point to that database. Unfortunately instead of copying the values outputted by the tool, i instead for whatever reason used the values the document had.
Unfortunately apparently those values were actually for the production database (why they are documented in the dev setup guide i have no idea). Then from my understanding that the tests add fake data, and clear existing data between test runs which basically cleared all the data from the production database. Honestly i had no idea what i did and it wasn't about 30 or so minutes after did someone actually figure out/realize what i did.
While what i had done was sinking in. The CTO told me to leave and never come back. He also informed me that apparently legal would need to get involved due to severity of the data loss. I basically offered and pleaded to let me help in someway to redeem my self and i was told that i "completely hosed everything up".
So i left. I kept an eye on slack, and from what i can tell the backups were not restoring and it seemed like the entire dev team was on full on panic mode. I sent a slack message to our CTO explaining my screw up. Only to have my slack account immediately disabled not long after sending the message.
I haven't heard from HR, or anything and i am panicking to high heavens. I just moved across the country for this job, is there anything i can even remotely do to redeem my self in this situation? Can i possibly be sued for this? Should i contact HR directly? I am really confused, and terrified.
EDIT Just to make it even more embarrassing, i just realized that i took the laptop i was issued home with me (i have no idea why i did this at all).

Junior Dev on his first day somehow given the power to wipe their whole production database, also this company doesn't have any backups, also they said they were gonna call the cops he was such a bad employee!!!

If it did happen, why would you keep checking in and saying "yes this was my fault, I am still here and willing to tell you it was my fault over and over"? It's practically begging them to sue you. Be honest instead and say you just followed their training document (even though you clearly are an idiot who didn't deserve the job in the first place if you had "no clue what you were doing") and leave it at that.
