His profile name makes me think of something you'd see on GTA TV.

You never watched the braindead slop TV in GTA IV and GTA V. The satire in GTA games is just so funny, especially for an American that deal with dumb politics and social intercourse.

"I wonder if lingerie makes rats horny too."

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Yes. Rat lingerie was a thing. Male rats lost interest when females didn't wear any.

[–] badcommandorfilename@lemmy.world 46 points 10 months ago

Well, that answers that question.

You have to at least link the study!

[–] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 28 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Found it.

If I understand it correctly the rats wearing underpants had more sex than the control group, but the ones wearing polyester or polyester mix ones often couldn't finish the job, because the polyester built up static electricity and they got zapped while in the act, which tends to ruin the mood if you're not into that kind of thing (which apparently most of the rats weren't).

[–] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 9 points 10 months ago

most of the rats weren't.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Was this study sponsored by Fruit of the Loom? N lol

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What did it say about silk or wool?

[–] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 10 months ago

No static electricity buildup, somewhat more horny rats, if I read it correctly.

Cannot bring all that secksy here! Too hot for science!

[–] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago

Now do it with yoga pants…

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 20 points 10 months ago

New study suggestion. The effect of different types of situations like being stuck in a window or washer machine.

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This implies that the rat also has a pair of pants.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 10 points 10 months ago

Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur.

I saw this watching QI yesterday! Baader-Meinhoff got me seeing rat sex pants everywhere

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 8 points 10 months ago

The underpant worn by the rat.

Reminds me of the HBO series, Animals
