…should I ask why the rats are being sexually gratified by car crashes?
The answer is “they weren’t. The study had nothing to do with that.”

But they did get fruit loop pieces with marshmallow used to “glue” them to the dispenser, so that’s pretty cute. I mean it’s a lot cuter to imagine than a bunch of horned up rats.
Yes.
Definitely one of those times where I go “Oh shit, I never did get around to watching that, did I?”
Thanks for helping out the terminally unaware.
No, you should ask how they measure it.
Whenever I see a hot woman on the road, I hit her car just to get her number. Then I never call her because I’m too shy.
“I’m so shy I immediately drive away after hitting her car.”
They don’t even have to be in a car. It works just the same.
There was a misunderstanding at my school where the world religions teacher recommended the Sandra Bullock Crash to an entire class and the first student to find it and send the class a link found this one (could have been an honest mistake or intentional) and someone reported the teacher. It was pretty easily cleared up, but the teacher was definitely shaken that the other movie existed.
The fuck were they doing recommending that pile of shit? That’s almost as bad as having to watch The Apprentice in one of my classes.
A lot of people started hating Trump in 2015 but he’s been my enemy since 2004. No way you can watch that show and like that guy
It was a religion teacher. They’re not known for their taste.

Anyone got a link to the actual paper?

It’s about stress levels, and how rats who were in control of the vehicles were less stress than rats who were just passengers.
I feel like we don’t need to be mass breeding animals for this. To my knowledge we mainly use rats to test things we don’t want to put humans through, but I’ve heard enough backseat driving to solve this on my own without the use of rats
I don’t think the rats were especially bred for this.
It’s more likely that existing lab rats got a bumper car break :3
Reminds me of that movie, Crash:
Everyone is bringing up Crash the novel/movie, but don’t forget this also a much weirder Palahnuik book where the erotic car crashes help a guy time travel and fuck/impregnate all of his female ancestors.
rant is an amazing book and this is the first time I’ve heard anybody else reference it in the wild
“Sexually starved rats crash car in desperation to make the pain stop”
BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER
Vroom vroom
