    …should I ask why the rats are being sexually gratified by car crashes?

    • DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      The answer is “they weren’t. The study had nothing to do with that.”

        Thanks for the link but I read halfway through and then realized that what I really wanted was more images (and video) of rats driving cars.

        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.

      OOP was possibly referring to the movie Crash, or the origin novel

        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.

      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

    I am sure it makes sense to the rats xD I remember stumbling upon a youtube channel where a couple had built little operational trains and cars for their rats to drive around the house. It was a joy to watch. Found them: Kronk and Kuzko

    It’s so adorable and weird at the same time.

    Sexual gratification?

    Wow. Those massive Nascar crashes finally make sense.

    Warm Leatherette - The Normal

    Everyone is going 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.

    • FearMeAndDecay@literature.cafe ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      sorry wtf did I just read?

      source
      • andros_rex@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        That’s Palanhuik’s Rant. His non-Fight Club stuff is pretty unhinged.

        I read Haunted in middle school, and it fucked me up, although it was funny to read “Guts” out loud to everyone on the bus. (Be prepared if you are going to read this one - it’s pretty famous for people fainting during live readings.)

        I read a time travelling book (very old and dusty, relatively short, I think it’s from the 70s) where the protagonists discovers over time that he is his own father/mother. He travels in time so often that there are zillions of him at different ages in each time.

        He just ends up partying with himself because he can be just himself. And with all the drugs and partying one thing leads to another. Also because he travels so damn much somehow that leads to a female version of himself.

        That Ethan Hawk film Predestination is a less fucked up, similar version of the story.

      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
