I like the one where they gave rats a lot of food and space (rat paradise) and let them breed till they were crawling over eachother till there wasnt enough food for them all. When most of them died and food was available once more, the remainders stopped eating and all the rats died.
Rats are interesting but I think the guy that programmed them left in some bugs.
Even the creator of that experiment said it was deeply flawed, and that their colony broke down because there was literally nothing to enrich their lives in the habitat. They were essentially going crazy from boredom.
He then went on to design rat experiments that were designed to actually facilitate a fulfilling and engaging life for the rats, and they thrived, from what I recall.

Yeah idk if I just watched most of my friends and family drop dead from starvation, I don’t think I’d want to go on living either.

Is this going to be a model for the history of mankind?
rats are strange little critters. incredibly clever, but you’ll never know what they’ll use their smarts for
