Contrary to many romance movies…
You don’t start a romantic relationship! By just walking down the street and talking to random strangers!!!
People aren’t single because they don’t want to put themselves in potential danger holy shit
Why some men are single:
- They approach complete strangers.
- Talk to women who clearly don’t want to socialize.
- Feel entitled to a woman’s attention.
In a simple experiment, researchers at the University of Chicago sought to find out whether a rat would release a fellow rat from an unpleasantly restrictive cage if it could. The answer was yes.
The free rat, occasionally hearing distress calls from its compatriot, learned to open the cage and did so with greater efficiency over time. It would release the other animal even if there wasn’t the payoff of a reunion with it. Astonishingly, if given access to a small hoard of chocolate chips, the free rat would usually save at least one treat for the captive — which is a lot to expect of a rat.
The researchers came to the unavoidable conclusion that what they were seeing was empathy — and apparently selfless behavior driven by that mental state.
“A New Model of Empathy: The Rat” by David Brown, Washington Post
OH MY.
this just in: rats are more humane than humans
I mostly work with mice, but sometimes work with rats at my job, and one of the cool things about them is that if you make a distressed rat call, almost every single one of them comes running right toward the front of the cage. Not away, not to hide. The mice, they don’t give a shit about a distressed mouse call. You might get them to pick up their heads, but for the most part they don’t even acknowledge it. Rats, though, rats care. Between that observation and this experiment, I would also have to conclude that on some level, they come forward because they want to help.
Oh, and one more thing! Rats may be empathetic, but they’re actually little furry racists by nature. See, these studies found that rats will free a cagemate of any colour, or a stranger rat the same colour as them, but will not free a stranger rat of a new/different colour.
If the new rat is introduced as a cagemate, however, they will then free all stranger rats that look like their new friend. They’re racists at first, but once they get to know someone of a new colour they treat them just like family.
Actual sets were constructed for the cockpits of the Jaegers. They, along with the rig that controlled them were four stories tall and could drop fifteen feet. Guillermo del Toro described them as “a torture machine.”
Pacific Rim (2013)
Just in case you thought Pacific Rim was all about the CGI; think again mother fuckers.
another reason to adore pacific rim
holy SHIT.
Reblogging this version instead cause ppl think this is about trashing LOK.
And it ain’t. LOK was good despite all the bullshit nickelodeon kept pulling on the creators.
this is to educate my non-American followers. This really is how the US sees itself. (and yes, 95% of the time, Florida = WHAT?!)
wake up america
… Please tell me you guys are kidding.
Florida is like it’s own country I swear
I’m from Florida and I can confirm this. Also, South Florida is basically Miami and alligators.
oh, i always assumed florida was part of The South?
north florida is yes. The rest is not.
I’m from Florida, and grew up in SC/NC.
Can confirm all true. 👍
Um. This is so wrong.
You’re forgetting the part where California sees itself as its own entity.
We do not want to be grouped in with everyone else, thanks.
I’m from Texas and I “Yee-Haw” this message
^ LMFAO
America truly is a bunch of countries in a trench coat
The sunglasses on California are killing new
We need just a map of Florida though so we can see what that means.
I say this as a Canadian
I don’t understand this please just do it like the UK we only have North, South, and other.
I was gonna say “what you think he had insurance???” but 1) at least in the early aughts to mid-teens, NY was one of the less excruciating states to get medicaid in, and 2) he was a minor and it’s a LOT easier to get medicaid for a minor, especially when said minor’s legal guardians are retirees on fixed incomes I’d wager.
So yeah they’re all just fuckin dumbasses! I love them.
This is why I think it would be peak comedy for the radioactive spider to be of a non-venomous species and for there to be a scene of a new Peter Parker/Spiderperson looking up the spider’s features or posting a photo to an identification subbredit before being informed of the fact that nothing will happen
entemologist reddit: oh yeah, that one’s venom isn’t strong enough to cause anything other than a bit of localized pain at the bite site, no worries.
Peter Parker the next morning, stuck to his ceiling: Well someone fucking LIED!!!!
