The bird is dead!

To be perfectly honest I don’t feel like anything is fun anymore.

The more I read about it, the more I think a reinforced metal bathtub would be a better choice for such voyage.

Oh I get that. I’m living in the city centre in one of Poland’s major cities and assholes with motorbikes and sportscars are literally revving the engine ALL. THE. TIME.
And it’s such a useless stuff, too. Like, yesterday at 2AM some asshat on a bike just kept burning the tires and revving the engine for 3 minutes straight.

And I had to wake up at 4AM for work, so obviously I’m pissed.

You know, Prussia, despite being in german culture group was kind of it’s own thing.
So it does not belong to germans, but prussians!

and yes, it’s a massive shortcut, but i’m from olsztyn (formerly: allenstein) and i want to see prussia being it’s own separate thing.
i’m obviously very biased and i do not care.

@DJDarren Oh yeah, Punk never died. It changed me completely.

@slin 1000 days is heartbreaking, but I’m more of the Perfect Cycle kind of guy.

In the name of Krolm, Giant Rat God, I’d love to read a book, but I just can’t find a time for that. Audiobooks are also an option, but it’s hard to focus on important matters and listen to a book at the same time.

Help.

The algorythms are kinda faulty, but there’s plenty of content around.

I’m having a lot of things to do on beehaw.org and kbin.social

“Best” is relative, but I guess the most wholesome is when I once forgot to lock the cage properly and went to sleep. One of my rats went straight to the bed and proceeded to cuddle, instead of wrecking havoc. It’s not that common for rat girls, but she did it anyway, my little champ. She spent all the night there. It was truly a bonding moment, especially since she was a very small ratto at a time and being a kid she’s supposed to rather eat the shit out of everything in the room (since socialization is often based on making them not destroy things with teeth)

I’ve easily made my girls piss and poop into a litterbox, it really helps. But it requires some patience.

True that! And it’s even more interesting once you see how selfish they are at the same time. Very conflicted nature, hits very close to home :P

Yes, rats are social animals. They need another rat or they’ll literally die. Gerbils are likely the same. There’s nothing to beat the entertainment and comfort from the other animal.

And yeah, interesting thoughts! They probably think something akin to that!

A rat in the wild isn’t in an ideal situation for said rat.

You know, it has an upside, though. For a rat it does matter not whether they live for 2 or 10 years, it’s their entire life. You know, a happy and content one. And if they unfortunately pass away, you could always give another one a chance to have a nice life too.

Yeah, they really like that!

You can raise a baby rat (although it doesn’t need to be a baby, too) found in the wild, because they are virtually the same as domesticated ones. At least here in Europe, where I live.

The type of a rat you’re looking for is a “Norwegian Rat” or “Brown Rat”, which is the most common type in the wild.

Generally speaking, there’s a saying that animal you rescued will try to pay that back in love.

That strange Lord of the Rings turn based strategy game.

Man, the one and only reason humanity is a thing so different than the others is because we have a natural tendency towards helping out each other and cooperate in ways not observed amongst other species. Empathy and benevolence are inherently human traits and it’s what made our society rise above in the first place.

But some people are assholes and you’re a great example of that.

You know, I’m living in Poland and we have a pretty fucking big populace of foreigners and the most rapes and murders are statistically commited by polish males. By percent.

I think you’re overexaggerating it a bit.
