This was made with a gentle hand.

The other rat seems to be a great listener

Don't pretend like you didn't hear me.

*tickle” hilarious

He's all ears

You don’t want to know what they did with the rats in The Abyss.

Sidebar: Something most people don't realize is that both will probably be killed at the end of the experiment :(

This is what usually happens after every experiment no matter if they survive the experiment or not

Exactly what jobs would this degree get me? Is it depending and pay well and can do this remotely or do I have to relocate?

The left one is in the control group of their experiment. Their mates laugh 2σ less under nerve agent codenamed KR-6.

The group they taught about electricity already escaped.

Wait till he meets the rat that's a dick

Exactly what jobs would this degree get me?

Rat tickler.

That's specifically for the purpose of studying the body and brain as part of the experiment though.

The course is virtual, so I don't see why it couldn't be on your resume for remote jobs. Its just a certificate, not a degree. Could be an interesting addition to any resume!

I wonder if it would help or hurt your chances of getting past the resume bots.

According to your certification for rat tickling you'd be a great fit for our family of social media bot operators!

I recently saw a video encouraging people to adopt former lab mice. That made me think that the mice that are not adopted out might also be killed even if that is not needed for the study.

Mostly it is to avoid contaminating nature with modified animals. Someone I once knew (working in Biology) had to kill 100s of them when covid hit and the labs shut. They are usually asphixiated by gas.

I would wager they were either surplus mice or part of control groups.

For those unfamiliar

huh quite an interesting read.

I wonder if the tickle rat gets cocaine too

I bet tickle rat is about to get an earful soon.

A rat with one attached to its back to see if it's possible. That's it, that was the whole experimen.... Wait hold on! If you can do that, you could keep the organ alive long enough for surgery preparation. No more freezing sausages! I did it! I solved the riddle! Now all of us can have enlargements.... Just need donors!

Awesome! It looks like it's free! I'm going to get certified as a rat tickler!

They need to sew a nose to its back

Oh that's what it is. I thought they were growing a tumour on him.

It smelled a bit of AI, and I'm still not sure this is untouched.

So the comic is real and is from 2020, but it's in full color. Here is the author's insta page. It does mention that sketches are available on Patreon, so maybe someone just shared that and is making the rounds.

Maybe it's just the style, but man are we screwed. Friggin low background steel.
