Run, run. The battle's on!

[–]deja-vu-comment 93 points94 points ago

It's called "boxing":

[–]Hokie200proof 46 points47 points ago

What the fuck did I just read? That doesn't explain it at all!

Fucking then what? They box... and... they get tired? And forget? Or they "sidle" which is the rat version of a gangsta walk? WTF?

[–]Homepie 31 points32 points ago

Rats fight as a way to establish social dominance. They box and then progress to a "nose-off" where they stare each other down whisker to whisker, so that the one trying to dominate the subordinate one can't bite them. After a while the dominant rat gives up and the fight ends with the social order established between them.

[–]Hokie200proof 49 points50 points ago

So they basically elect their leaders through staring contests, slap flights and dance offs?

WhyTF haven't humans tried that yet?

[–]feedle 27 points28 points ago

We did. Problem is, we're tool users. First time somebody brought a bone to a slap fight and clubbed somebody over the head with it, the game was on.

[–]BeneficiaryOtheDoubt 4 points5 points ago

Apes do this too (not the tool part as much), they just have the strength to rip each others' arms off.

[–]CountPanda 2 points3 points ago

Non-human apes. You an ape.

[–]BeneficiaryOtheDoubt -1 points0 points ago

Semantics schmantics. The only people who assume you're including humans when you say 'apes' are anthropologists.

[–]CountPanda 0 points1 point ago

It's why I didn't include an asterisk. I still like reminding of this though because a lot of people don't think about it. People who haven't taken an anthropology class quite often very earnestly don't believe we are actual, literal apes, even if they believe in evolution.

[–]SuperbusAtheos 21 points22 points ago

Mitt Romney.

[–]Homepie 8 points9 points ago

I don't think either of them really did. Neither one of them managed to bite the other so I think they both called it off and the social order remained the same.

[–]lemoncholly 0 points1 point ago

Looks like lefty looked away first.

[–]flekkzo 6 points7 points ago

Tell that to our four boys, they have all sorts of kung fu moves they bust out when they have a disagreement. They can get pretty aggressive sometimes, but funny enough they won't attack me even when agitated. I can literally pick both of them up and look them in the eyes and tell them to give it up.

Rats are terribly nice to people if they have been handled.

[–]kalibcrone 0 points1 point ago

Are you talking about rats or human children? Because I for one don't talk to rats so that would be confusing to me

[–]howlscastle 0 points1 point ago

My rats have grooming wars. And rats are the best!

[–]jesusinabottle 7 points8 points ago

I'm confused, why doesn't the dominant rat go for the jugular during the nose-off?

[–]salubrious_pirate 22 points23 points ago

Killing another rat in the colony actually works against their survival.

[–]jesusinabottle 10 points11 points ago

Makes sense, actually. It's the same for humans.

[–]IIPadrino 19 points20 points ago

And people say evolution can't explain ethics.

[–]buckX 0 points1 point ago

It sure can't explain it all. You meet a wealthy stranger in the wilderness, and there's not much in the way of evolutionary explanation for why killing him and taking his stuff is not the proper action.

[–]OPR8R 3 points4 points ago

Someone needs to introduce these rats to money.

[–]Homepie 8 points9 points ago

The proper place for a bite is actually on the other rat's butt. These fights aren't supposed to hurt each other anyway, they mostly play fight with each other when establishing dominance.

[–]Relvnt_to_Yr_Intrsts 1 point2 points ago

they usually bite on the nape of the neck in my experience

[–]Homepie 1 point2 points ago

That's play fighting, "real" fighting involves butt biting. Both are used to establish dominance but the neck nibbling is normally done by younger rats.

[–]Relvnt_to_Yr_Intrsts 0 points1 point ago

You almost never see "real" fighting though. Typically they'll fight about 3 times and that's that. Whereas they playfight all day every day

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]slightlystartled 2 points3 points ago

It was poorly worded. In the gif, after the subordinate rat(right) backs down, they stare off. The dominant rat(left) pushes a couple more times, and the sub gently pushes back just a bit, but no real resistance. Then, fairly quickly the dominant rat breaks the staring off("gives up"). He made his point and has nothing to be gained by continuing. You can see how the sub(right) is watching him for the cue that they're going to both back down without biting.

The social order remains unchanged, as the left rat was the dominant one before the challenge.

[–]Peanutsss 0 points1 point ago

I think he meant dominated. But not sure.

[–]Homepie 0 points1 point ago

I meant to say dominant rat, not dominate rat. Fixed in the post.

[–]AdmiralSkippy -1 points0 points ago

If the dominant rat gives up would he then not be the dominant rat?

Also, who won in this .gif?

[–]SarahPalinisaMuslim 0 points1 point ago

Rat Facts.

[–]salubrious_pirate 10 points11 points ago

It's a dominance thing, similar to a dog/wolf's stare-down. Pet rats rarely fight to draw blood. Except rats have terrible eyesight, so they have other methods for challenging for dominance. Both are actually making high-pitched noises and brushing whiskers during their "argument." It's not as visible to us, but one of the rats in this GIF/video is backing down, and the other one senses that. When one rat begins to back down, the "winner" is not going to bother wasting energy in continuing to harass him. But if neither rat backs down, then they will begin to use other strategies, like sidling and down-and-out wrestling and biting.

[–]IleaveComments 30 points31 points ago

Wow, people sure know a lot about rat behaviour. That's a neat link.

[–]turkturkelton 8 points9 points ago

[–]Lostcory 0 points1 point ago

I'd be interested to know more information about this. Is it mechanical?

[–]turkturkelton 0 points1 point ago

It's a computer program. http://www.wadsworth.com/psychology_d/special_features/sniffy.html

[–]Touringcar -1 points0 points ago

In theory, yes. In reality, life doesn't adhere to statistical rules.

[–]Relvnt_to_Yr_Intrsts 1 point2 points ago

Actually, yes it does. That's where statistics come from.

[–]Touringcar 0 points1 point ago

I don't think you fully grasp what statistics are.

[–]Relvnt_to_Yr_Intrsts 0 points1 point ago

I don't think you do.

Also, I was a stats minor. I think maybe you are trying to say something else like: Life doesn't always support the null hypothesis.

Statistics are correct by definition. Just because something is expected doesn't mean unexpected things don't occur, it just means they occur less likely than the expected things (or that you need to revise your expectations).

The math is never wrong. But one can do the math wrong.

Sometimes your model is really weak (it doesn't have good predictive power) but it's never dishonest.

[–]Touringcar 0 points1 point ago

Making statistics of something does not mean everything that happens after that adhere to these statistics. For something like, say, chance statistics or anything static this might be true. Life changes. Statistics from one point in time do not.

We are not discussing whether statistics are correct or not, but whether one could use statistics to re-create a living being.

[–]dont_press_ctrl-W 0 points1 point ago

life doesn't adhere to statistical rules

This statement is meaningless. Everything except pure randomness can be modeled through statistics. Nothing in the world is purely random.

[–]Touringcar 0 points1 point ago

Nothing in the world is purely random.

You're saying nothing unpredictable happens in the world?

[–]dont_press_ctrl-W 0 points1 point ago

No, I'm saying those unpredictable things still have enough restrictions to be modeled by statistics. The movement of an electron is unpredictable, yet we can make statistics about where it's most probably going to be, because it's not every point in the universe was an equiprobable place where the electron could be next.

The weather is chaotic and cannot be predicted in full, but you can use statistics to predict the range of possibilities and their respective probabilities.

[–]Touringcar 0 points1 point ago

But making a rat that moves the most probable does not equal the movement of an actual rat. You can't take the average of something and use that.

[–]ilikefruitydrinks 1 point2 points ago

Not sure if it's relevant, but in an episode of Through The Wormhole they linked a rats brain to a robot. (S02E01?) So I guess in the not too distant future they will be?

    Rennet comes from any young mammal actually and even some vegetation has it. The U.S commonly uses it from calfs, but I can't speak for the rest of the world.

    [–]commandakeen 0 points1 point ago

    Yeah, technically it is just the enzyme chymosin, which has different sources. It can even be produced synthetically, but mostly its not.

    So most cheese isn´t vegetarian, which is an interesting fact...

      You can hide them though, very easily. Though a link might be nice, but it doesn't illustrate the point as much for those bots/people taking the time to link it, so that may not happen. Also, "for those seeking more info" is actually relevant in some of the less random gifs/pictures.

      Head on over to /r/rats they really are great pets. If you can't have a dog or a cat, rats are the next best thing. They can be litter trained and are quiet like cats, but show affection and can be taught things like dogs.

      I know you probably just thought they were cute, but that's actually how I got my two girls. I'd always thought they were disgusting vermin, then I saw a cute one at the pet store. I did some research and as it turns out they are really great animals, so I got a couple. Best desicion, and best pet I've ever had.

      Is the short life span not a pain?

      [–]GoodGuyAnusDestroyer 3 points4 points ago

      I don't know yet, they're not even a year old. They were born in January and had them ever since they were 6 weeks old. I rent a room so as much as I would like to have a dog I really can't so I looked into Rats and discovered that they're really social creatures.

      They love attention so if you can't spend too much time with them then get more than one. Males tend to be lazier than females and slightly more smelly. I'll watch TV and have them on my lap just being lazy little ratties. AMA if you're curious.

      The short life span is going to suck but they're living like kings despite their short time on this planet.

      This video really sealed the deal on me owning rats: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzE0liAzr-8

      [–]bakerie 1 point2 points ago

      I already know lots about them, which is why I won't have one (short life span thing). They seem like really great pets.

      [–]malius89 0 points1 point ago

      I've gone through 17 rats and currently have 4 girls, you get completely over putting them to sleep after about the fifth one. doesnt even faze me anymore, yunalesca was the last to be put to sleep and i swear i was as nonchalant as buying groceries. i know it sounds cold but i do truly love my rats, but it just becomes a process, 1-2 years of fun and a good life, then the time comes to an end, i see it simply as a natural conclusion now. in fact, i would even go so far as to say putting so many rats to sleep over the years has completely normalized death for me, not in a bad way, I've just come to completely accept its inevitability.

      [–]bakerie 0 points1 point ago

      Define "Putting them to sleep". Also, how do you know when? I've chinchillas here, and I'm more worried about them, then my dog, because I know what to do with my dog when the time comes.

      [–]malius89 1 point2 points ago

      they inject a lethal does of anaesthetic into the abdomen, they simply go to sleep. most rats have a germ called mycoplasma that hangs out in their nose, most rats either die from respiratory complications due to myco moving down into the lungs, second biggest killer is cancer, big time for mother rats as it opens them up to mammary tumors. most of my rats were put to sleep due to terminal health caused by respiratory infections from the myco, only yuna and luna were put to sleep due to mammary tumors.

      early on i paid a lot of money on antibiotics but i just ended up wasting it as neither malius nor ratticus responded to the treatment, since then i haven't bothered, if a ratty gets sick, ok, starts to lose weight, damn, starts wheezing every time they go to sleep, most likely a gonner, hanging over the rails with heavily laboured breath, to the needle with you. it's simply more humane to put them to sleep seeing as how the antibiotics don't work and i only put them to sleep when its obvious they won't recover and/or are in a lot of pain (been to hospital myself with lung problems, not being able to breath is torture).

      [–]z0rz 2 points3 points ago

        They are rats. It's a dominance display, one is trying to get a positional advantage over the other by pushing them down. It seems like they decided to call it a draw, but didn't want to turn their back first in case the other went again, they'd be able to go from the side/back. I have pet rats _^

          I believe that was just a rambunctious game of patty cake.

          This was cute and funny... but eeeeuuughh god those tails.

          [–]UnsureAbsolute 1 point2 points ago

          I think the accidental kiss made it too awkward to continue.

          [–]thejug02 0 points1 point ago

          I was waiting for them to hug at the end.

          ... I could have swore hey we going to make out... was kind of disappointed when they didn't. What is wrong with me

          [–]Reddumbdancy 0 points1 point ago

          It's like a "nigga moment"

          [–]swordfishtrombonez 0 points1 point ago

          Can't you two see that you're in love with each other?

          [–]_THE_WIFE 0 points1 point ago

          Like watching two stoners trying to have an argument.

          [–]rathgus 1 point2 points ago

          Patty cake, patty cake...

          [–]Half-Light 1 point2 points ago

          Oh boy do I miss my rats =/

          [–]the_camel_whisperer 0 points1 point ago

          I didn't know rats liked to play patty cake

          [–]ScrubbyBuddies4 0 points1 point ago

          It's more like,

          "Hostile detected, initiate fight mode, fight mode commencing"

          "Error! System has detected a problem and had to restart. Initiating default action "explore mode".

          Oh yes, funny. Instead of mediating between them we just watch them fight. There's something basically flawed in our nature if we reward boxers for what they do, I feel...

          [–]suspicious666 1 point2 points ago

          This happened between me and a guy friend of mine(I'm a guy). The only difference is, when the rats slow down their battle, then stop altogether...that is the moment my buddy and I started to kiss. No homo.

          [–]cocoabeach 0 points1 point ago

          Saw this happen at work a few 6 years ago. Two guys both over 60 years old started to fight. I watched them fight for just 30 seconds or so, then they looked at each other with a look that said "what the heck are we doing, we are too old for this". The fight stopped and they were best buds the rest of the day.

          [–]frankensteiness 0 points1 point ago

          That's hilarious!

          [–]DeFex 0 points1 point ago

          They are just playing rattycake.

          [–]oprock 0 points1 point ago

          This has been posted so many times, I knew what it was going to be before I even clicked on it, based just off the title.

          To protect home and family. To preserve balance.

          To my kind, the real question is what is worth fighting for?

          [–]reezwon 0 points1 point ago

          oh my god my rats literally do this all the time, why didnt i post this on reddit

          [–]AbbyNormalOrganDonor 0 points1 point ago

          Spend it the next time you want to ask out the cashier, in hopes it will strike up a conversation.

          [–]kouriichi 0 points1 point ago

          This is like when me and my friend argue about which videogame character we would bang. It always comes down to Zelda being a lady boy and Samus not having a working toilet in her suit.

          We are not very sophisticated people, and are entertained easily.

          [–]jamesuyt 0 points1 point ago

          This seems familiar...

          [–]meggawat 0 points1 point ago

          This is the part in the rom-com where the high-strung lady and the gorgeous chauvinist reach the highest point of their formerly angry passion and just kiss already.

          [–]kritical_w1n 0 points1 point ago

          they where playing patty cake and then said fuck it and went on their jolly way.

          [–]Qwerty27_27 0 points1 point ago

          My dogs do this. I now think that my dogs are part rat. Then again, I think that when they are alone, they speak human and walk on their back legs. Please tell me I'm not the only one that thinks this.

          [–]Melanine21 0 points1 point ago

          I'm surprised I don't see an Angry Beavers gif.

          [–]Quiet_Guy116 0 points1 point ago

          I can just hear their conversation in My head:

          "I'm gonna fuck you up!"

          "Come at me, Bro!"

          "Wait...why are we fighting again?"

          "I have no idea, sorry"

          "Sorry,bro....My buds about to take off, I'll see you around,man!"

          [–]GrandTheftWalrus 0 points1 point ago

          I had this same .gif in my pictures folder with the exact same name as the title. Weird.

          Hey! That's me and my sister when we fight.

          You can see the exact second when their short term memory kicks in.

          Why are we reposting again?

          [–]jyz002 -1 points0 points ago

          Because karma

          [–]giovannisaurus -1 points0 points ago

          It's called sparring. Gooosh..

          [–]megantron2984 2 points3 points ago

          Bahahaha. My two rats do this all the time. They'll be fighting and one will be on her back with the other standing over her, then they both just freeze for like, a full 2 minutes. It is hilarious to witness!

          [–]Bikenutt 1 point2 points ago

          Upvote the awesomeness of the ratties!

          [–]Eckus 1 point2 points ago

          This reminds me of the intro to Angry Beavers.
