I like to imagine [21] doesn't mean the 21st citation, but rather that there are 21 citations for that statement

Damn, he is good.

Rats are cool. They’re like little dogs, can be potty trained, learn tricks and like to cuddle.

They also develop cancer like no other species. You feel a limp on a rat and 3 hours later it’s a tumor the size of a bean.

The very reason we're so good at treating cancer in rats.

Young Freud (from Wikimedia)

Young Sigmund Freud looks put together, but you can tell there is something deeply unhinged in there also his blood content is probably like 20 percent cocaine.

makes sense, rats and butts are both dirty

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pet rats aren't dirty.

Butts are only dirty before the enema, after that it's bearable. Still not recommended for the immunodefficiant, but otherwise a healthy human can deal with what they can get from booty licking, others probably should use a dental dam at minimum.

thank you for not calling it an "oral condom", it's such a stupid term that makes one envision a tube going down the throat..
