If your whole thesis is derailed by one rat not behaving as you thought I’d argue your thesis is probably pretty shitty to begin with.

Yeah whqt is their sample size? 2?

Actually not all rats are afraid of cats. I had a lot of pet rats and some cats. While the two cats are mostly afraid and respectful of the rats, about 1/4 of the rats had no problem co-existing with the cats. Like, they saw the cat as a rat and acted like it, not afraid or anything, while another rat peed herself because she was so scared of the cats.

Maybe that one had gotten the toxoplasmosis

Assuming reincarnation, who do you think he is?

I’m guessing Henrietta Lacks, since she’s probably got a bone to pick with the research community as a whole. I bet she’s got some special accommodation with the universe to be brought back constantly as a stream of lab animals, just to fuck with the data.
Revenge is a dish best served confusingly.

Good idea, but she’s immortal already

wholesome animal experimentation. So cute and wholesome how they keep them in shitty cages, feed them a bland diet, and kill them the moment the experiment is over.
What a nice story.

In this story the researcher’s problem was that they let the rat live and used it across multiple experiments

I am not sure if you’re being deliberately contrarian to protect cognitive dissonance, or just wildly ignorant of how studies are conducted.
In the most literal sense a study is made of a battery of experiments that are each run across a series of tests. This is also just “an experiment” colloquially since they’re all testing the same area. They do not take rats from say a maze solving study, then give them diabetes for a different study, then give them a brain tumor before putting them in the decapicone (a real product).
I have stolen lab rats marked for death, I know what I’m talking about.

Well, yeah, but you should have seen what his cousins did trying to figure out the answer to life, the universe and everything

Has anyone wondered that maybe rats are the ones actually conducting experiments on scientists? I read about it in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy-

Too many pixels and not enough jpeg artifacts

Hate to break it to you… 42 didn’t make it the first study. In the second study they just named three troublemaker 42 again… And he also didn’t make it. After a study, all those rats just go to a big farm to live out their lives in peace. Not.

#42, you say? Was his name Frankie or Benjy?

Judging by the JPEG artifacting, this meme is old enough to be about the secret of NiCad.

🫡 uncritical support to #42 may all of their thesis fail and their grant money run out soon.

Damn, should have put a blind on him and the researcher, so he knows he’s not belong researched

If we re-compress the image a few more times it’ll become even more of a zinger!

I don’t see you posting memes.

Do you think that disqualifies someone from providing valid criticism?
It doesn’t.
