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."

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 months ago

Well, that answers that question.

You have to at least link the study!

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).

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

most of the rats weren't.

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

What did it say about silk or wool?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

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

Now do it with yoga pants…

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur.

The underpant worn by the rat.
