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.

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'.

You haven't known love until a rat ejaculates on your finger.

Ah, that was me in grad school. Hell, technically I paid them for the privilege.

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.

Squid fucks weird

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 15 hours ago

I've done that.

I don't have any animals...

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

Does that mean it's going to die now, or does that not happen in cuttlefish?

Sudden prevalence of hand mirrors at the local aquarium...
