there once was a talk about rats, a slideshow with plenty of stats, the rats are disgusting, why was I so trusting, I puked in my mouth so congrats #nerdnitedc
Rats have not historically been considered repulsive or gross, and in some parts of the world they’re worshipped or eaten.
Here they’re associated with trash, disease, sewers- associated with poverty. Fix sanitation and housing and “dirty” rats go away
