    …should I ask why the rats are being sexually gratified by car crashes?

      The answer is “they weren’t. The study had nothing to do with that.”

        Thanks for the link but I read halfway through and then realized that what I really wanted was more images (and video) of rats driving cars.

      OOP was possibly referring to the movie Crash, or the origin novel

        Definitely one of those times where I go “Oh shit, I never did get around to watching that, did I?”

        Thanks for helping out the terminally unaware.

    Whenever I see a hot woman on the road, I hit her car just to get her number. Then I never call her because I’m too shy.

      “I’m so shy I immediately drive away after hitting her car.”

    I am sure it makes sense to the rats xD I remember stumbling upon a youtube channel where a couple had built little operational trains and cars for their rats to drive around the house. It was a joy to watch. Found them: Kronk and Kuzko

    It’s so adorable and weird at the same time.

    Wow. Those massive Nascar crashes finally make sense.

      There was a misunderstanding at my school where the world religions teacher recommended the Sandra Bullock Crash to an entire class and the first student to find it and send the class a link found this one (could have been an honest mistake or intentional) and someone reported the teacher. It was pretty easily cleared up, but the teacher was definitely shaken that the other movie existed.

    Anyone got a link to the actual paper?

      It’s about stress levels, and how rats who were in control of the vehicles were less stress than rats who were just passengers.

        I feel like we don’t need to be mass breeding animals for this. To my knowledge we mainly use rats to test things we don’t want to put humans through, but I’ve heard enough backseat driving to solve this on my own without the use of rats
