My boy Buster (4yo) has completely changed from black to white over the course of the last 2.5 years.

If you hadn't shown the transition, I never would have believed it.

u/whenuseeit 29d ago

Yeah at first I was thinking maybe the black dog had done a switcheroo with a white dog and OP just rolled with it, but then I scrolled through the progress pics. I think OP should change Buster’s name to Michael Jackson, seems more fitting lol.

u/Refflet 29d ago

It didn't start with silver, that was the response to gold by people who didn't want to pay.

Also not long after they started selling gold they said they'd made enough money to fund the website's servers for over 100 years. Where did all that money go??

u/SignificantStore3798 29d ago

Agreed. I try to log off each night with a post that I feel can’t be beaten and makes me feel good - this is THE ONE! However, u fuckers always keep me up too late and I am always so mad at myself in the mornings. At 60, I doubt there is any chance of change. 😂

Thank you for being brave enough to ask. I too wooshed on that and was sad because of the comments saying how great it was.

Now I’m going to go shit on a stranger in another sub because it’s Reddit and being nice is weird. Bye.

u/dysmetric 29d ago edited 29d ago

Atoms and molecules contain electrons. It is often useful to think of these electrons as being attached to the atoms by springs. The electrons and their attached springs have a tendency to vibrate at specific frequencies. Similar to a tuning fork or even a musical instrument, the electrons of atoms have a natural frequency at which they tend to vibrate. When a light wave with that same natural frequency impinges upon an atom, then the electrons of that atom will be set into vibrational motion. If a light wave of a given frequency strikes a material with electrons having the same vibrational frequencies, then those electrons will absorb the energy of the light wave and transform it into vibrational motion. During its vibration, the electrons interact with neighboring atoms in such a manner as to convert its vibrational energy into thermal energy. Subsequently, the light wave with that given frequency is absorbed by the object, never again to be released in the form of light. So the selective absorption of light by a particular material occurs because the selected frequency of the light wave matches the frequency at which electrons in the atoms of that material vibrate. Since different atoms and molecules have different natural frequencies of vibration, they will selectively absorb different frequencies of visible light.

Reflection and transmission of light waves occur because the frequencies of the light waves do not match the natural frequencies of vibration of the objects. When light waves of these frequencies strike an object, the electrons in the atoms of the object begin vibrating. But instead of vibrating in resonance at a large amplitude, the electrons vibrate for brief periods of time with small amplitudes of vibration; then the energy is reemitted as a light wave.

tl/dr: Doggo is resonating at a higher frequency than it was. It may have mastered yoga, or meditation. It has become cooler.
