"Yes, Black became London’s number-one supplier of rats for some kind of fucked-up Victorian game where you turned a dog loose in a pit with a bunch of rats and made bets about how many rats the dog would kill. Remember that next time you complain about how much time the youths today spend on TikTok." Thank you for this 😂

This was a great one. I love rats and had a pet rat named Fiona once. She was black-and-white and so sweet. But she got all these tumors and it was just so hard to keep up with the medical costs for that. Apparently that’s pretty common which calls into question all of the studies that have said that X substance causes tumors in rats. From what I could tell, it happens either way.
