Then she'd jump up and around in circles just to drop on her back again. Eventually she'd get sleepy and pass out on her back between my thighs (laying on the couch with my feet crossed) getting her tummy and chin gently rubbed. I loved her so much ❤

There's also dominance related belly grooming too which elicits squeaks, but those are generally more sharp squeaks. In my experience females were more likely to tickle and play with each other, and males are mostly pretty chill cuddlers, but males are more likely to dominance groom each other. But can confirm both genders will flip each other over and tickle each other.

No prior testing indicated we've accidentally created a carcinogenic super-poison out of a bunch of well-understood drugs, and had we moved to volunteer testing we would've CERTAINLY had fatalities from the treatment.

She liked to sleep under my chin, loved being social and went everywhere with me when I wasn't deployed. (She had her travel home, a fanny pack, dont judge lol it was the 80s) She liked Jack Daniels, Captain Morgan's, and MGD, she would also try to steal your lit cigarette and looked like she was trying to smoke it. Other than the potty accidents and the misappropriation of shiny objects she was awesome.

I have a yellow loach (fish) in my tank, he’s about 5 years old, and 6 inches long. He loves to get his belly tickled, and he makes squeaky sounds, it’s the weirdest thing. I discovered his squeaks while feeding him, he kept swimming up against my fingers inviting me to touch him. Very unique.

"Cleanses my soul" I love that 😂😂

They made great pets. If you litter train them they will go in the same area and instead of bedding and a tank you can have them in a Cage with blankets. It makes it easier not to have to change the littler in a big tank and have it smell. Also let them pee before taking them for a ride or a cuddle. Just little sips of water till you get back home. Also a micro fiber towels on hand for accidents. ❤

"Newly described behavior called Joy jumps." Oh you mean popcorning? Yeah, we've known about that for a pretty long time.

I used to work in a zebrafish/salmon research facility. Everyone who worked out of that lab LOVED the fish we kept, and most of us would adopt the lil zebrafish babies if they were too small to use for research. However, we also had to do lab experiements. It is an aquatic toxicology lab, so we would subject the fish to waters with pollutants in them and then euthenize them so we could do autopsies. It seems sad and barbaric at first, until you realize we are not harming nearly as many wild animals as we would without that research, now that we know what certain chemicals do to the animals. I love and respect lab animals, and greatly appreciate the sacrifice we choose for them to make. I'm glad the researchers/rats also got to partake in some work that didnt involve harming the animals, I bet that was really wholesome and nice feeling 💖

I'm sorry, but: "I love and respect lab animals, and greatly appreciate the sacrifice WE CHOSE for them to make." The mental gymnastics in that one sentence is crazy. You can't love and respect something and then put them through unimaginable forms of cruelty that YOU CHOOSE for them. Imagine if Joseph Mengele said he loved and respected the Jews for the sacrifice he chose for them to make, in order to better humanity. It's absolutely illogical and immoral thinking. But I guess you have to cope in some way in order to sleep at night.

@@vvelvettearss I agree. Scientists will always make up bizarre justifications for the disgusting unethical shit they do, calling unethical behavior “ethical” so they can sleep at night. The stuff the animal researchers do to innocent animals makes my heart hurt more than anything. The test that the OP describes is beyond stupid. We don’t need to intentionally put fish into polluted water to already know that fish will be harmed by being in such an environment. We don’t need to know that chemical dumping into water is terrible for living creatures in that water. It’s common sense shit! The OP refers to the death of these tortured animals as “sacrifices that we choose for them to make.” That’s an oxymoron! A sacrifice means that someone freely chooses to make that decision for themselves! Nobody else can choose for me to make a sacrifice! Someone choosing for me to “make a sacrifice” of my life is straight up MURDER. His wording is the exact type of mental gymnastics I was referring to before when I talked about the bizarre justifications scientists make. Humanity has no respect for any life besides their own species is all; humans think we have the right to dominate everything and do with them what we please. God forbid human “progress” takes longer by not doing wicked, cruel experiments on animals. Especially with cosmetics! Whatever would we do without make-up tested on animals, and shaving cream poured into their eyes etc?? Oh no, would we be limited to only using soap to shave, like our ancestors did and many people still do? The horror! Scientists have done plenty of cruel “research” on humans too. They very well could chose to do all the “research” they do on animals on humans (whether it be paying people, using death row prisoners, etc, etc), but then we might actually stop to question our morals and think about how “necessary” _IS_ this research?

​@@user-em1pi4sl2bI shouldn't have to explain to you that Mengel's experimentation on Jews was more horrific than this situation and shouldn't be compared, because it was part of a broader genocide that was intended to wipe out Jewish people as an ethnic group. The researchers did not care about the lives or feelings of their subjects, and they purposely inflicted pain on the subjects when they could've used anesthesia to lessen their suffering without affecting the research. And further, human beings _do_ have the ability to consent to experimental medical trials for the greater good, unlike animals, so it's especially unnecessary to force a human to participate when you could just get a volunteer with the disease or condition that you're trying to cure. The reality is that our planet will become unlivable for many species if we don't prove with research that certain chemicals are harmful to animals. Governments and corporations will not listen until they're forced to. It is so necessary to prove the harm that these chemicals can do if we want most life to survive on Earth past the next century. That's reality. I have infinitely more respect for someone who's willing to take on the guilt of killing something to save millions of living things, rather than the person who virtue signals and claims that every life is important while knowingly allowing the deaths of many more.

What we need now is some sort of audio transcoder device for people with pet rats, so we can hear our rats talking.

This rat was a shelter rescue who had originally been intended as snake food, so maybe he's not as comfortable with us. Likewise he doesn't seem to actively ask for petting, more seems to tolerate it. We'll keep trying though, maybe he'll talk to us sometime.

If you mix 2 audio signals together you end up with 4 signals. The original signal, the second signal, the original signal + the second signal + the the original, and the original signal - the second signal. The last choice is the one you want. Filter all the others and amplify the remainder. Choose the frequencies appropriately. May not be high fidelity but ought to work.

Today they're giggling from tickles but tomorrow they will be injected with newly invented chemicals just to see what happens.

the title of this video is something i never would have expected to read in my lifetime but im not complaining

*at a random family gathering* "so what are you researching about now? " "... rat giggles"

Somewhere in a university office researchers showing their new ideas for funding: "What if we tickle rats?" "hm yes" "indeed" "quite good"

I find it funny how its a new discovery that rats like having fun in comfortable environments but won't laugh when the same thing happens when they're stressed, but of course, there needs to be a test for them to be able to differentiate such behaviour

It’s truly so so sad 😭 what those sweet, adorable and intelligent little fur babies have to go through in those disgusting and horrible testing labs. We don’t appreciate rats as well as many other species of animals, and we take them for granted. Rats are in fact extremely intelligent, they are very affectionate and loving little animals, and they don’t deserve to be treated like just a number.

Damn it's nice to know that even rats can get zoomies and can come under performance pressure.
