Tell me more... about Rat World.

When you realized that you needed to head off “sir, this is a Wendy’s” at the pass, that should have been your clue that this was a bad idea.

It's just like the 14th century, only there's 21st-century knowledge and technology and it still won't stop a preventable disaster from wiping out half of humanity.


I denied you your stock goon response. I will turn off my monitor as an apology.

Penguins eat an average of 5.5 fish a day? I thought it was 4 - this is very unsettling.

This, but unironically. The plague is here. The smartest people in the world are telling us it's the rats. There's a tariff on rat poison, subsidies on rat food, and all reasonable restrictions on rat breeders are being dismantled. A large percentage of the population spend the day rubbing their faces in a pile of rats, and tossing them over the fence at their anti-plague carrying rat neighbors. They do this because a massive movement of political, industrial, and media actors have whipped them into a tribal fury and convinced them that licking rats is how they piss off the other tribe and win, and then they can rely on being impoverished, disease ridden rat farmers like their grand-daddies were, and bah gawd that's honest work! Also, a black guy said rats are bad.

Your only legal defense against the tide of rat feces lapping at your doorstep is a political apparatus that has been doggedly turned against you over decades, and the only remedy for that broken system is a judicial body that is being further stacked against you you by the day, or an armed rebellion that will never happen as long as the cable and WiFi still work.

In the meantime, the smart people from the first paragraph pipe up on occasion to let you know this out of control rat population is moving their estimate for the tipping point of an unstoppable global pandemic up by a matter years.

Every two years you get a chance to maybe make the rat boom slow down a teensy bit, but sooner or later the rat bubble is going to burst and destroy the economy. Too bad them heathens in the ratfucker tribe are mostly cops and active/ex-military and buy 10 guns to your one. If they're lucky, your kids can spend their prime years as concubines and slave labor before everyone collapses into puddles of their own internal organs.

LoL and aw shucks, right? If we had another hundred years maybe humanity turns it around, but not on our timeline. Inertia's a bitch.

Gimme the large Frosty. gently caress knows I don't want to live forever.

When Sluggo came a-panicking about the sound he'd heard
I tried to make him understand but mangled every word
The meaning of this incident was too much to explain
So we simply stood and stared at the anthropomorphic train

Oh,
Seven mighty firetrucks and seven mighty hoses
That's the secret of the world that Nancy now discloses
Nothing else to say as our existence decomposes
Seven mighty firetrucks and seven mighty hoses
