I’m glad we’re having the conversation because something in our food ain’t right. Read the article, the thread, talk to your neighbors…

This is the internet I love - 1. Multiple people have an observation (election bad) 2. Rando post a wild hypothesis (results wrong!) 3. Masses love a conspiracy theory and boost Rando 4. Expert in field evaluates hypothesis (Unlikely, but maybe?) 5. AND GIVES FREE ADVICE!

After all, could one woman with absolutely zero institutional backing in leggings and a sweatshirt in her NYC apartment really be the one to break such an important story? Now we know the answer is yes.”

In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts. The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails. The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.
