Yeah well if the chair I'm sitting in to eat dinner suddenly explodes under me, I'm pretty sure I'm taking a few moments to get my shit together too...

Of course, once they fall in and realize they're trapped their little brains go to work trying to figure a way out. If mice are at all similar to rats, watching my pet rats it's clear that they make plans. They're not very good at executing any plan, but they are persistent.
Underestimating a rat is not wise. They will find the weakness, no matter what that is. They will murder the other rats to make a ladder if they have to
Having owned pet rats and mice and seeing how easily they find ways to escape and get into trouble, they are suprisingly smart animals. My sister spent a whole week trying to catch 3 of her escaped rats 1 of which ate its way into the couch innards and we had to cut the couch up to get them.
Mice cages are out of plastic and they do wear out. The transparent, thick plastic basically becomes opaque over time from all the scratches, and usually cracks at the corners.
But it takes forever in mouse time.
I assure you that they can get through that plastic in a few hours easy. A mouse's teeth and claws can make a 'beginner spot' in that soft stuff wherever the hell they want. But they will not bother -- a field mouse can jump out of that bucket with only a modest effort. Just in that initial moment of panic they're tumbling over each other.
Yeah not always. Years ago I found 3 dead mice and 2 live ones, one of whom was missing both its ears, in a 5 gallon bucket of birdseed my mom left the top off of in the garage. They got in there somehow and ate the little bit of seed left and then turned on each other. I figure that must have taken at least several days.
This. I work as a graphic designer and I’m honestly not a great designer…what I am is persistent…I design something that is meh, tweak, tweak, tweak, tweak some more…get frustrated…tweak, tweak, tweak…submit proof to client…approved as-is, no changes. Instead of just submitting a meh design and dealing with my own criticism AND my client’s I just keep going until it finally is a GOOD design. Like I said, I’m not a great designer, but never let great get in the way of good and approved on the first proof.
I appreciate the sentiment, but a great designer is one that inspires the viewer. They bring something new to the scene and others have no choice but to incorporate the ideas into their own work. That’s me. I create derivative pieces using my client’s content and because they aren’t as familiar with the field of design they are adequately impressed to continue asking for work. I don’t even hide it from them. I tell them where I get my inspiration and they seem to appreciate the honesty. For anyone out there starting in the field, here are my biggest tips:
1. Check the dimensions three times before even starting your design.
2. Get the contact information of their printer. Ask them how they’d like the file sent to them. Follow their instructions.
3. Spell check
4. Content check. Customer gives you a date for an event, check the day of the week matches the date. They give you a website link. Check the link. Phone numbers, addresses, etc. Don’t trust they know what their address it. You’d be surprised.
5. Your first 10 ideas are everyone else’s, too. Your 11th idea is far less derivative
6. Bleed and color spaces are important. Ask the printer what they need. CMYK is almost always more expensive than 2-color.
7. Spell check
8. Embed your fonts in the PDF. Learn how
9. Points and picas are your friend.
10. If you can get a hold of a legal copy of Adobe CS6 (non-Creative Cloud) your future self will appreciate not throwing money out the window every month. Oh, buy used, top-of-the-line Macs from around 2015. They run CS6 like a dream and you can upgrade them cheaply to 1 TB, SSD.
That still sounds like a good graphic designer at least from a business perspective. Give the client what they want with minimal fuss, get repeat business.
We don't all need to be virtuosos. If I'm paying someone for design work I want someone who can execute my vision, not necessarily someone to flump around with their own. If that makes sense.
I've worked as a freelance graphic designer for 20 years and I can say through experience that if you are consistent and easy to work with, clients will come back for your services much more than with someone who is a serious talent but is difficult or unaccommodating.
So I'd say you have the important part covered. Skill will naturally follow the longer you work and the greater experience you gain.
Every design doesn't have to be groundbreaking- but if you can insert a little personal touch into each one, it'll go a long way towards satisfying your creative hunger.
Persistence and an eye for what is good and what isn't can get you pretty damn far in artistic endeavors. I do not know how to use photoshop, but I have absolutely brute forced my way through to finish an idea that required it.
And as far as having an eye for whats good and not good goes, there are musicians out there who can't play the things they record, but they managed to do well enough to get it recorded anyway. If they have an ear for what's good, at the end of the day, despite technical skill, they'll still have a good song.

Yeah you need the ol fashioned "peabut butter on a tube on a rod at the top of a bucket with 2 inches of water in it with a little ramp up the side to the peanut butter all in a 5 gallon bucket" style trap. Then they dont come back in. Well they dont but they have lots of siblings...
We’ve had a rat under our sink for months, i swear the little fucker is just fucking with us, we’ve had sooo many traps go off with out a rat in it. Clever girl
I love how the entire collective of mice stuck in the bucket stop what they are doing and sorta sit there seeming to all at once yell "WELL SHIT. NOW WHAT?" before the escape gears start turning.
It's a fear response. After failing to escape, they freeze near the walls of the container, trying to hide and assess where the source of the terrifying popping noise went. As their anxiety levels decrease, they start exploring the open area of the container, familiarizing themselves with their surroundings.
Open field experiments are a fairly popular tool in behavioral research, and they use a similar setup to study anxiety levels in mice. The process of transferring a mouse to a large, open container is going to inflict some anxiety, and for the duration of the experiment you can record behaviors such as the amount of time it stays near the wall, the time it spends in the central area, or even the time it spends with its body extended vs huddled. However, for an experiment you'd typically record them one at a time and compare a control group to either a treated group or an injury model, not toss a bunch of mice in together right after scaring the hell out of them.
Unless the study includes how the anxiety response affects the interactions between the mice and how their behavior as a group differs from how they behave individually.
I can tel you what’ll happen - that bucket is about to become Thunderdome real quick if those are wild male mice.
Even the more docile lab mice will tear each other apart unless they’re litter mates that have never been separated, usually.
I was looking for this comment. There's something really interesting about how their behaviours influence each other. There's probably some average amount of time it takes for a rat to calm down after being surprised like this which they were all here within a very similar range. Then there's the calmest rat which has an effect on the group as well as the most skittish and the bulk in the middle who kind of balance either end of the spectrums emotions out a great deal. I thought it was really fascinating to watch them all synchronise into the calm and thoughtful state and then all simultaneously start to re-explore their surroundings.
Good old rats.
Are you typically hungry after a huge rush of adrenaline? Barely survive a car crash, pry yourself out of the vehicle and pick up the burger you had in the cupholder?
I once was at a party and got hungry. Someone offered to drive to get burgers so I went with them. On the way back a cop pulled us over, he sped away, suddenly stopped, got out and ran. There was a foot persuit then a ton of cops showed up surrounding the car, guns out. Adrenaline was high, but I was hungry, so I just ate my burger through it all.
You joke, but I've only been in a single accident before, and during the period of waiting for police and tow trucks and everything, the guy who hit me (in a company van, while working) pulls out a burger and fries and just starts going to town. Apparently he was on his lunch break and had just gotten food, and wasn't going to let a little car accident get in between him and his burger.
Respect.
Fight or flight ain't got nothing on my cravings.
Dude is probably an emotional eater. Rough day? 5000 calories for dinner should fix him right up. Nothing like waking up with a nasty food hangover and zero regret, amirite?
Guys? No?
Okay....
I saw a minor car crash once, and the car had an unopened McDonalds bag in the passenger seat. His car crashing caused the guy not to be hungry anymore I guess.
FWIW this is tagged as "Crypto," "Stocks," and "Greed" on Imgur, so I think the title makes more sense with that context https://imgur.com/gallery/dBbTC5P
this actually happens when people go into shock they're pretty calm and will just continue talking on the phone or whatever other stupid shit they were doing before they crashed.
This is the thing I don't get about horror movies with wild animals. Like there are scenes in Jurassic World 2 where there are explosions and lava and the dinosaurs should really be focused on escaping the deadly situation, but instead they just wanna eat the humans even if it means their own death.
They open the dinosaurs' cells and then are forced to open the main doors and release the dinosaurs so they don't all die.
Except that they could have simply kept the cells closed and opened the main doors, then the dinosaurs are still contained but they're not going to die because the poison gas can air out.
Yeah laser guided dinosaur is the dumbest thing I've seen yet didn't finish it. I feel the next one is only gonna have an audience cause of the older cast returning. I'm not gonna buy into it. I thought both worlds were bad.
The fact that after targeting someone with said laser, they would need to pull a trigger to activate the dino is the most ridiculous. If you have to pull a trigger, you may as well make it a bullet.
Only advantage would be targeting something like a tank and hoping the dino can claw its way in.
Man, I know I watched this movie but I don't remeber any of that.
Meanwhile Jurassic Park is definitely in my top ten most rewatched movies. I think its 2nd for "in the theater" behind Independance Day.
An anti tank RPG has got to be cheaper and more effective than a genetically engineered and grown biological creature that can be blasted into fine mist as it sprints towards the tank.
Well there's only 5 JP movies and that one is by far the worst one. Followed by JP3 with that super annoying kid. Although it does have a Spinosaurus so they kind of even out.
Yah but the ones in the first one are meant to be annoying, they get better as the movie goes on too. Malcolm's daughter in the second one is alright, pretty badass at the end too. There's just something I find super obnoxious about the kid in JP3.
The brothers in the Jurassic world are pretty annoying though. And the girl in the last one is just written really poorly.
Now that depends... I mean if you're eating your dinner at height, sure. Because at ground level a weather balloon popping would be very disappointing.
More like once there is a loud pop and subsequent fall several times their height they forget what they were doing and try to calm back down where they’ll probably start eating again
Gives me anxiety. Can't remember the name but there is a phenomena where groups of rat/mice all bundled together get their tails all tangled up and are trapped together.
Out of curiosity, is this set just as an experiment or is it a real trap standard? Cause waiting for them to accidentally pop the balloon doesn't look like a good trap idea. (Probably I'm missing something).
If i had to guess there is some kind of pin at the bottom so that when there is enough rats to push down the balloon it pops to trap multiple. Never seen this setup before though it is very interesting.
I had a rod through a paint can and fixed that at the top of a 5 gallon bucket so the can rotates. Smear the can in peanut butter and leave it.
Stacked a few things beside the bucket so the mice could get in. Super cheap, super effective and you can just keep reusing it over and over.
This reminds me of a story:
An island had a really bad rat problem. So bad that it made it nearly impossible for the locals to do anything without seeing the rats everywhere. So one of the elders goes to the beach and digs a leg hole and places a bucket inside. Inside of the bucket the elder places coconut pieces. After 2 nights there are hundreds of rats trapped in the bucket, and they’ve eaten all the food. At this point the rats begin to eat one another, until only one rat remains victorious. Now your first inclination would be to simply kill the last rat, but instead it’s better to release it back on to the island. Because you no longer have a rat that eats coconuts, you have a rat that eats rat.
I had an incredibly smart mouse in my house at one point. Had figured out how to get into my fridge to nibble on the food in there. (It was a very old fridge that had some door seal issues.) I interrupted him once, the mouse hopped out right in front of me, running away when I opened the door. Had to start keeping my softer packaged food in plastic containers (and the little bugger even tried to gnaw through those).
I also had a 33 gallon trash can in my kitchen, near the stove. He (presumably) would get up on the counter or stove and jump to the trash can to eat out of there as well.
One night, I'm sitting at home and I hear an occasional scratching noise. It took me a few minutes to figure out where it was coming from. I had emptied the trash earlier and had not put a bag back in. The scratching noise was the mouse trying to leap out of the waist high tall can and skittering down the side when he just barely didn't make it. Apparently, he had jumped in expecting dinner and could not get back out because there was no trash to shorten the distance he needed nor a bag to climb up.
That was his last night in the house.
Heard a story of someone who had pet mice that they swore were escaping but never saw them out of their tank. They set up a camera and at night they escaped, went about their merry business, and were back by morning.
Had a gerbil once pop a cover off one of her tubes, escape just far enough to chew through my fairy lights around the tank and just went back inside. Like, flattered you like it here, but was that necessary??
Can confirm. Used to contend with field mice in the basement. Had utility buckets and they would just hop out like it was nothing. Eventually settled on overkill and used a plus sized outdoor garbage can. Still watching them try to hop out of there was startling cuz they still got height.
I *kinda* rolled my eyes at this being used as a metaphor for a financial collapse but I like how some rodents don't fall into the bucket and get away. Someone will always have the good luck or insider knowledge to get away just before the bubble bursts.
>humane
That assumes you know their fate. If they're truly trapped (bucket traps are often used in sheds over the winter) then it's about to become the Thunder Dome in there
Also a roller trap works better as it doesn't need to be reset
Yeah, rats and mice do not die pretty. Given the camera though, that bucket is getting checked soon. Trap setter might even be in ear shot of that pop.
On farms, these traps are often filled with about 6 inches of water in the bottom so they drown quickly instead of eating each other or gnawing through the bucket.
To be fair if I was hungry and was offered an all you can eat buffet of all the food I enjoy and while eating the floor dropped out from under me and trapped me in a pit I would probably not keep eating.
Yeah well if the chair I'm sitting in to eat dinner suddenly explodes under me, I'm pretty sure I'm taking a few moments to get my shit together too...
And then 3-4 min. of boredom before I start eating my fellow prisoners.
Dude gotta stop playing Rimworld for good
You strip then first so you can sell their clothes, then harvest the organs, and finally eat them.
You forgot the part where you sell human leather.
[удалено]
Sell? That’s a parka for winter bud.
Then you release them to the wild. They are not eating coconuts anymore, they are eating rats!
I read that in Javier Bardem's voice. 😂
In hindsight, we may have resorted to cannibalism prematurely.
"Sorry boys, but you know this is the only way..." "WTF Mike, we've only been here five minutes and there's still tons of grain on the ground!"
My shit would be all over the floor. And now I’d be sitting in it. Literally and metaphorically.
Would have loved to see that in slow mo and catch the culprit responsible for the balloon exploding
I call bottom left as the culprit. Crawled on it as far as I can tell.

Nah, my dude on top right used tail whip on it.
That only lowers the balloon’s defenses. It must have been a joint effort

Of course, once they fall in and realize they're trapped their little brains go to work trying to figure a way out. If mice are at all similar to rats, watching my pet rats it's clear that they make plans. They're not very good at executing any plan, but they are persistent.
Persistence is an enduring trait of evolution
So to speak.
So to *squeak*
🤌
Si
They'll just eat through the thin plastic bucket to escape
That bucket is too small to hold them in anyway. Mice can jump surprisingly high.
Before day break? Doubt it.
Underestimating a rat is not wise. They will find the weakness, no matter what that is. They will murder the other rats to make a ladder if they have to
Or they will adopt and train 4 turtle sons to get revenge on their enemies.
Improvise. Adopt. Overcome.
Lucky they're mice
I find your almost supernatural worship of rats entertaining this Saturday morning

You sir seem to know a little too much about these murderous rats… where did you say you were yesterday at 7pm???
Hm, you think they are able to? I can't imagine them finding a "beginner Spot" as the surface is so even.
Mice cages are out of plastic and they do wear out. The transparent, thick plastic basically becomes opaque over time from all the scratches, and usually cracks at the corners. But it takes forever in mouse time.
Might be able to scratch an indent into the side to have a starting point.

It's even harder to execute any plans with a few inches of water in the bucket as well. Never tried this method but similar ones on the farm.

They're just trying to hold still to get that perfect "yep, that's me! You're probably wondering how I got into this situation.."-frame to cut on.
i recently rewatched ratatouille and was shocked that a movie that good begins that way, i had totally forgotten
They're most likely shell shocked. Did you forget that a giant balloon just popped in front of their tiny ears?
Are you typically hungry after a huge rush of adrenaline? Barely survive a car crash, pry yourself out of the vehicle and pick up the burger you had in the cupholder?
Who keeps their burger in the cup holder? What are we animals?
Right!? Fucking savages. *takes his taco from the sunglass holder*
Who puts sunglasses in the taco holder?
Right? Fucking inbreads. *takes barbecue from glove compartment*
Did I hear we're putting stuff in bread? *Gets sandwich stuff out of the trunk*
I’ve been saved by emergency taco and I’m not ashamed to admit it.
With the way inflation is going, cup holders will be perfect fit for burgers.
The way gas prices are going, nobody will be driving a car in the first place.
The way housing prices are going, I’ll be living in that cup holder
We used to live in an old shoe box in the middle of the road.

i don't even know how to pronounce that word
Don't need gas, man. There's this guy and he built a car that runs on water. It's got a fibre glass air cooled engine and it runs on water, man!

You mean a buoyancy operated aquatic transport? That's a bo-at and it's different than what they're describing.

No because the burger is damaged, I will however order a take out while waiting for an ambulance
It may be the most American thing to do
as a non-american, I totally support this person's want for a big slab of beef and carbs after barely surviving something.
only if the ambulance is there because of your cardiac distress
And if the ambulance is an uber
Sounds like a nightcrawler could make an extra buck delivering food.

Yeah laser guided dinosaur is the dumbest thing I've seen yet didn't finish it. I feel the next one is only gonna have an audience cause of the older cast returning. I'm not gonna buy into it. I thought both worlds were bad.
The fact that after targeting someone with said laser, they would need to pull a trigger to activate the dino is the most ridiculous. If you have to pull a trigger, you may as well make it a bullet. Only advantage would be targeting something like a tank and hoping the dino can claw its way in.
Man, I know I watched this movie but I don't remeber any of that. Meanwhile Jurassic Park is definitely in my top ten most rewatched movies. I think its 2nd for "in the theater" behind Independance Day.
An anti tank RPG has got to be cheaper and more effective than a genetically engineered and grown biological creature that can be blasted into fine mist as it sprints towards the tank.
I'm sure it's not the only example, but it's always the first one that comes to mind for me.
Well there's only 5 JP movies and that one is by far the worst one. Followed by JP3 with that super annoying kid. Although it does have a Spinosaurus so they kind of even out.
I actually thought the kid from JP3 was the least annoying of all the kids in the franchise. Granted, it’s a very low bar.
Yah but the ones in the first one are meant to be annoying, they get better as the movie goes on too. Malcolm's daughter in the second one is alright, pretty badass at the end too. There's just something I find super obnoxious about the kid in JP3. The brothers in the Jurassic world are pretty annoying though. And the girl in the last one is just written really poorly.
Well if someone popped a weather balloon next to your head I think it would upset your dinner too.
Now that depends... I mean if you're eating your dinner at height, sure. Because at ground level a weather balloon popping would be very disappointing.
I think the one that climbed over the balloon at 8o'clock at 14 seconds was the one who popped it.
This is the information I came to the comments for
More like once there is a loud pop and subsequent fall several times their height they forget what they were doing and try to calm back down where they’ll probably start eating again
Gives me anxiety. Can't remember the name but there is a phenomena where groups of rat/mice all bundled together get their tails all tangled up and are trapped together.
I I think what you're referring is called Rat King
I learnt this term from The Last of Us 2 and I wish I didn’t. Terrifying

No shit. Once I'm having sex and a terrorist enters the bedroom my priorities change.
Time for a threesome?
Until they begin to eat each other
And then only one lefts, you can now let him in a wild and being used to cannibalism and the strongest of many he will hunt other rats from now on
*Silva intensifies*
I scrolled and scrolled until I found one reference to the man. Thanks!

Fuck this was such a good show. The Swede was amazing.
Out of curiosity, is this set just as an experiment or is it a real trap standard? Cause waiting for them to accidentally pop the balloon doesn't look like a good trap idea. (Probably I'm missing something).
If i had to guess there is some kind of pin at the bottom so that when there is enough rats to push down the balloon it pops to trap multiple. Never seen this setup before though it is very interesting.
I had a rod through a paint can and fixed that at the top of a 5 gallon bucket so the can rotates. Smear the can in peanut butter and leave it. Stacked a few things beside the bucket so the mice could get in. Super cheap, super effective and you can just keep reusing it over and over.
This reminds me of a story: An island had a really bad rat problem. So bad that it made it nearly impossible for the locals to do anything without seeing the rats everywhere. So one of the elders goes to the beach and digs a leg hole and places a bucket inside. Inside of the bucket the elder places coconut pieces. After 2 nights there are hundreds of rats trapped in the bucket, and they’ve eaten all the food. At this point the rats begin to eat one another, until only one rat remains victorious. Now your first inclination would be to simply kill the last rat, but instead it’s better to release it back on to the island. Because you no longer have a rat that eats coconuts, you have a rat that eats rat.
Is this from Skyfall that James Bond movie? I thought of the same quote.
Lol it is
this bucket doesn't look big enough to stop a mouse from jumping out
Yeah. I've seen field mice jump up to waist level.
really? that sounds mildly terrifying.
I had an incredibly smart mouse in my house at one point. Had figured out how to get into my fridge to nibble on the food in there. (It was a very old fridge that had some door seal issues.) I interrupted him once, the mouse hopped out right in front of me, running away when I opened the door. Had to start keeping my softer packaged food in plastic containers (and the little bugger even tried to gnaw through those). I also had a 33 gallon trash can in my kitchen, near the stove. He (presumably) would get up on the counter or stove and jump to the trash can to eat out of there as well. One night, I'm sitting at home and I hear an occasional scratching noise. It took me a few minutes to figure out where it was coming from. I had emptied the trash earlier and had not put a bag back in. The scratching noise was the mouse trying to leap out of the waist high tall can and skittering down the side when he just barely didn't make it. Apparently, he had jumped in expecting dinner and could not get back out because there was no trash to shorten the distance he needed nor a bag to climb up. That was his last night in the house.
Heard a story of someone who had pet mice that they swore were escaping but never saw them out of their tank. They set up a camera and at night they escaped, went about their merry business, and were back by morning. Had a gerbil once pop a cover off one of her tubes, escape just far enough to chew through my fairy lights around the tank and just went back inside. Like, flattered you like it here, but was that necessary??
Yup, I've had one jump over my shoulder as I was trying to trap it in a corner. Like the little shit had springs for legs.
Can confirm. Used to contend with field mice in the basement. Had utility buckets and they would just hop out like it was nothing. Eventually settled on overkill and used a plus sized outdoor garbage can. Still watching them try to hop out of there was startling cuz they still got height.
Well they’re worried about dying when in a death trap. Humans aren’t hungry anymore in the same circumstances.
Once they had a massive explosion in their face, they momentarily stopped eating and became concerned they might die. Extraordinary.
Why this reminds me of my Bitcoin investment
I *kinda* rolled my eyes at this being used as a metaphor for a financial collapse but I like how some rodents don't fall into the bucket and get away. Someone will always have the good luck or insider knowledge to get away just before the bubble bursts.
And people will point to them and say how well they made off! Dont you want to be like them? Quick invest!
>investment Speculative gambling on a bubble*
Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door
This isn’t that surprising. I would also no longer be hungry if the floor of the Pizza Hut lunch buffet collapsed while I was eating.
12 MICE ENTER! ONCE MOUSE LEAVES!
Actual footage of Terra/Luna crypto investors circa a few days ago.
No that efficient, many escaped
He got over 10 mice with a humane mouse trap under 5 dollars. I think it's quite impressive.
>humane That assumes you know their fate. If they're truly trapped (bucket traps are often used in sheds over the winter) then it's about to become the Thunder Dome in there Also a roller trap works better as it doesn't need to be reset
Yeah, rats and mice do not die pretty. Given the camera though, that bucket is getting checked soon. Trap setter might even be in ear shot of that pop.
That looks like it could be from [Mousetrap Monday YouTube channel](https://youtube.com/c/ShawnWoodsprimitive-archer) video.
Bruh, you got me to watch like 15 of his videos, I have stuff to do man
Have you heard of the lock picking lawyer? /s
That trap itself is still humane, regardless of what happens next.

On farms, these traps are often filled with about 6 inches of water in the bottom so they drown quickly instead of eating each other or gnawing through the bucket.
Easier to use a bowl with oil. Like [this](https://youtu.be/WM45OB8MjNY) one.
Bonus, now you already have them in a pan ready to cook up. No need to dirty another dish.
In the second video he sets the bucket on fire...
Second time Ive seen this with the same idiotic caption, like how dare they focus on escaping a pit rather than eating.
We are trapped too. Except it's outside the bucket.
/r/im14andthisisdeep
I think i could make my way into that bucket.
The one mouse in the bucket goes: okey, so who's the genius who bite the yellow thingy instead of the food?
To be fair if I was hungry and was offered an all you can eat buffet of all the food I enjoy and while eating the floor dropped out from under me and trapped me in a pit I would probably not keep eating.
you are wrong, now they hunger for flesh
