A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
No one tells you that male rats and mice find certain substrates very erotic. Like a mesh floor, or warm plexiglas. They will rub, groom, and nibble until they ejaculate while you are habituating and testing them, with certain drugs increasing the frequency of these events (morphine for example). So every once in a while I go 'I'm scrubbing rat cum off the mesh floor for money, again'.
I would do it for free

Ah, that was me in grad school. Hell, technically I paid them for the privilege.
God, I'm so glad Jon Oliver finally joined the Fediverse.
You haven't known love until a rat ejaculates on your finger.

Any plans this weekend?
I do now ;)
'I'm scrubbing rat cum off the mesh floor for money, again'.

That is either a very strange mating ritual, or that cuttlefish is a narcissist.
Cuttlefish encounter other cuttlefish so rarely, it's always a good idea to squeeze one out just in case it happens to be a female.
That makes a weird kind of sense. It was moreso the sixteen minutes that threw me, all I could picture was two of them having a staring contest for 16 minutes and then suddenly sperm and eggs everywhere.
$ on its the

Is Kanye a gay fish?
Yes, he like fish sticks
In his mouth?!
"Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me"
Squid fucks weird
Last time I did that, I got arrested.
Here I was, trying to contribute to science and, it's all "indecent exposure", and "this is a public pool, there's no cuttlefish for you to impregnate". Sheesh.
All I'm saying is those blind kids didn't even see me coming.
I've done that.
I don't have any animals...
Was it the Cuttlefish of Cthulu?
Warning: Kinda NSFWish link.
Never heard of this band before. It's amazing.
GWAR live is something everyone should experience at least once.
I had the opportunity to see them in 2002 but didn't go. One of the biggest regrets of my life. Seeing them today would still be awesome but I don't think it could compete with watching Oderus as the singer.
I'm super sorry to hear that because you're absolutely correct. Dave Brockie was an underrated genius. I'd still recommend seeing them if you get the chance.
GWAR is life. Or death...
Might I recommend for yourself or anyone wishing to get a flavour of this most fabulous musical quartet:
My favourite of their songs The Road Behind
The classic Sick of You
Their cover of Wayward Son
Or this interview with Joan Rivers where Oderus talks about an incident which involved the aforementioned Cuttlefish.
What the hell am I looking at?
Something something Octopussy
Sudden prevalence of hand mirrors at the local aquarium...
This guy is admin and regular uploader at CephaloHub... :D
Does that mean it's going to die now, or does that not happen in cuttlefish?
