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.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Do you think that disqualifies someone from providing valid criticism?

It doesn't.

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 what is their sample size? 2?

One is a genius, the other's insane.

Good point! Have they checked these laboratory mice to make sure their genes haven't been spliced?

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 7 months ago

I get the feeling that they may attempt world domination

Uncritical support for comrade 42, fighting the good fight against animal exploitation.

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

[–] DokPsy@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Diogenes then

Dodging the question but that username checks out for this thread

Pinky: Gee, ~~Brain~~ #42. What are we going to do tonight?

The ~~Brain~~ #42: The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world.

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

#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.

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago

Not lead-acid?

Too many pixels and not enough jpeg artifacts :3

[–] Nomad 12 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] ODuffer@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

He couldn't give a rats...

[–] assa123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 months ago

It's Algernon!

[–] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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