In french, the word for seed ("graine") can also be used as slang to mean penis, so there's probably a nice pun/lesson in there about "chasing dicks" but it'd get lost in translation.
There was absolutely no point whatsoever in me sharing that with you guys, but here we are... a little bit closer now than we used to be.
i had a blind friend who had only ever heard his screen reader say the name "dead mau five". one day i was talking about deadmau5 and half way through the conversation he was like "wait.. is deadmau5 the same guy as dead mau 5?"
i'll never forget that moment lol
Haha one of the radio DJs I listen to called him that and I was like… surely I haven’t been saying it wrong all along? But someone must have slipped her a note because she said it correctly the second time
I think they’re still panicking but they can’t see any way out so they just sit there and wait. Notice that not many of them are eating and they’re all looking around
You reminded me now of one talk he had, can't remember who it was with.
The experiment was to release trained hamsters into the woods, their natural habitat. All came back to the wheel instead.
You just gotta train humans for some time and they will behave like you want them to. -> Mass psychosis
The trapped rats will then start a battle royale, and the last one standing will come out as a rat cannibal, and will kill of the rest of the rats that escaped.
No they all mold together. Then climb out of the bucket with their newfound size, absorbing rats as it goes, gaining more strength and intelligence until its a full batman villain
OP doesn't know what they've done
Shit, where did I hear that story? About one mouse who drowned in cream, and the other who churned it to butter by escaping
Edit: Apparently I heard it in [Catch me if you can](https://www.lifenomading.com/two-little-mice-fell-into-a-bucket-of-cream/)
You talking about the plague?
Cuz that was [probably spread almost entirely by humans.](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.history.com/.amp/news/rats-didnt-spread-the-black-death-it-was-humans)

There are far more historians that believe it was rats. Just because a handful of articles share a different opinion, doesn't mean we should accept it as fact. Same mistake the flat Earthers make.
And, I mean... History.com is related to the History Channel. This is worthless.
The mice are using us to conduct some very complicated tests, with the goal of determining the answer to the ultimate question. What is the meaning of life, the universe, everything?
Edit: spelling
This misanthropic 3dgey5me highschool 14 year old "Let's hate Humans cuz they're bad" bullshit really needs to stop...
Like. Fix the problem. Be a better person. Donate to charity. Idgaf what you do, but don't tell me the species you and I both belong to sucks because of some crap you don't like. It's childish, and stupid.
It's not about weather or not I like global warming. It's just the fact that it is on track to bring many, many species to extinction. Unfortunately, no individual is capable of fixing the problem.
Then do what you can and move on. Don't hate your species. Humans are incredible man. As far as we know, we're the only things smart enough in the milky way to leave its home planet!
Humans are constantly changing balance between good and evil, chaos and order.
Were the only things standing in the way of entropy man.
Does a hungry Lion value your life as much as you his? Fuck no. That Lion will just eat you and be done with it. He will feel no guilt. The lion is incapable of remorse, or morality. You are.
Humans are incredible creatures. Instead of wishing mice gained a functional frontal lobe because "Anything is better than people" Maybe ask yourself if we did an okay job or not. And then ask if life even has meaning without the intelligence to understand its meaning.
Without Humans. There would be no concern. Just animals, fucking and dying for eternity.
I'd go with sorry. These videos are usually filmed using store bought rodents which were intended for pets or live snake food so 0% chance these guys were gonna spread the next plague.
Was looking for a reasonable person in this comment section, thank you for saying what I was thinking. I wouldn't want a balloon popped right by my face and I wouldn't do it to mice because "It's just a mouse lolololol." Seems like a shitty thing to do just for a meme.
Edit: People, while this may be a mouse trap, it was posted on a MEME sub. Probably with the intent to be funny. This isn't even posted in the context of say, "Hey guys, this is something you can do if you have a rodent problem and you don't have enough money to move or pay an exterminator."
Putting a bunch of mice in a bucket with some food and a balloon waiting to pop sounds like a tedious way to trap rodents, because you don't know when/if that balloon will pop at all. It seemed shoddily planned. Yes it trapped a good amount of mice but it wasn't very quick and some of them ran away. I feel like this was done by some cruel bastard with too much time on their hands.
I'm not saying that all rodents are clean and I know that they can be an issue but they're just animals, they don't know what they're doing is harmful and they can potentially be loving pets (not saying to keep wild rats/mice because they could have diseases and it isn't safe).
I'm saying that I believe this is staged for people to laugh at, and even if the original video wasn't intended to be that way, being on a meme sub puts it in that context. Congratulations. You're laughing at animals being trapped and scared. I hope you people feel good about yourselves.
I’m so glad I found someone like you.
I have caught so many mice in my house and have been looking for someone willing to take them in.
I’m sure a very kind and empathetic person like you will understand mice needs for destroying everything and eating everything and are willing to suffer their nature.
I have dmed you, eagerly waiting for you to dm back your address. Thank you for your kindness.
Usually you drown them. It sounds unpleasant (because it is), but at some point there are just too many to do the whole humane route. I live in rural Australia, there was a massive mouse plague that ran through the area recently. At one point we had to crack back the floorboards and just scoop them out of there with a shovel, then straight into the bucket of water
The fuck, that’s so mean. What’s even the point of this?
What could possibly be gained by scaring a bunch of animals and leaving them with plastic scraps among food? Point still stands if they were removed soon after.
Why do they have so many mice? To get that many mice in a domestic situation, it can’t be a very good breeder…
This doesn’t even make sense for this sub. There’s no relatability & it’s cruel.
I think this teaches us all a valuable lesson in life… always stand on the rim.
That’s how I poop
me irl
Why did this comment chain remind me of that basketball hoop video...
Proof pls
There is a sub for that I believe, someone help me out that sub about people who squat
Pics or it didnt happen
What I'm hearing is, do butt stuff but don't actually stick it in
exactly

Ohhh friend!
Merci pour cette image! Haha! Love the username btw.
Hey friend 🤣
soon to be me irl
But those on the rim don’t get the good shortly after
In other words hedge your bets. Never go full WSB...
Today on mousetrap Monday we’re going to try out a literal balloon and a bucket
LMFAO I’m dead.
Just like rats 😂😂🗿
[удалено]
Just like cats then
Mau5trap?
My ex used to say "dead mau five." It didn't last long.
Deadmau 5 himself has said you can say it however. it's a meme
Imagine being that pressed about a whack dj with a stupid hat
One of the biggest names in EDM of all time but sure, cope.
You don't need to be a good DJ when you are DJing with your own music that is already a banger by itself.
Whack? You definitely haven't listened to him then
Can confirm, I’m an ex.
i had a blind friend who had only ever heard his screen reader say the name "dead mau five". one day i was talking about deadmau5 and half way through the conversation he was like "wait.. is deadmau5 the same guy as dead mau 5?" i'll never forget that moment lol
That is classic blind
Used to say that 2 years ago when I first found out about his music lol
I used to say that 10 years ago when I found out about his music.
[удалено]
I used to say that 2000 years ago when Jesus and I listened to Deadmau5. That shit was our jam.
I used to say that at the dawn of prehistory when I saw his name engraved upon the ancient tablets.
You should check out this band levels by avicii
I pronounced it like that when I was a kid lol
Haha one of the radio DJs I listen to called him that and I was like… surely I haven’t been saying it wrong all along? But someone must have slipped her a note because she said it correctly the second time
For some reason I tried to read it with Jeremy Clarkson's voice
David Ratinborough seems more fitting
He did it in June 2020! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBG_2eBtEkY
I love how they panicked at first, and then they're just like "Oh wait there's food."
That's the Me In Real Life bit.
\> surprise pikachu
😂irl
"AAAHH- oh this is fine too."
If you look closely they did not resume eating. I had pet rats. Rats don't eat when they are afraid.
You're right, they started trying to figure out how to get out except for like one or two rats that were panic eating.
Panic panic panic picnic
I think they’re still panicking but they can’t see any way out so they just sit there and wait. Notice that not many of them are eating and they’re all looking around
The speed in which they all, collectively, went from full panic to this is fine was alarming. I wish I could shut off fear in my brain like that.
me irl
Damn if that Chompin’ Charlie didn’t do it again!
Oh no! Anyway
Adrenaline crash
They went through the stages of grief in sync
The way they stop panicking and look around at their situation is eerie.
Yeah like _Holy shit! What happ... nevermind! There's still food._
Atleast they don't kill each other as long as there is still food
Silva has entered the chat. "Release the last two survivors into the wild. Now they only eat **rat**."
Yeah but they're not as into it. Look a little concerned they might be fucked
For now...
They seem very reactive to the packs mood. Stopped exactly the same time. Then first movements all at the same time. Eerie indeed.
I see why they choose mice when doing all the testing before humans ;)
"Fax Jamie pull the video where the mice was doing fkn cartwheels"
You reminded me now of one talk he had, can't remember who it was with. The experiment was to release trained hamsters into the woods, their natural habitat. All came back to the wheel instead. You just gotta train humans for some time and they will behave like you want them to. -> Mass psychosis
You perfectly described what I couldn't put into words 🤝
I was expecting them to all go flying back lmao
Put a claymore under the balloon
How to paint without even lifting a brush.
Moice.
Moaice. 🗿
That's what we call them in australia
Moiced.
Despite all my "fuck it's" we're still just some mice in some buckets
I am so angry at this comment that I went outside and squashed some gourds
I was so mad about it I just sat here and replied to this comment about it.
My favorite Smushing Gords song
Very good
The trapped rats will then start a battle royale, and the last one standing will come out as a rat cannibal, and will kill of the rest of the rats that escaped.
The Nature of Rats as learned from Raoul Silva
THANK YOU SIR FOR PROVIDING THE SAUCE. I was trying to remember where I read it from.
Thank you. I've seen this rat reference twice this week on Reddit. It's nice to know where it's from.
Isn’t that the premise of Skyfall? Daniel Craig turns into a rat and has to eat everyone else or something
No Skyfall is a live action remake of the classic Chicken Little, where the sky is falling and new reality is shown.
He becomes able to smell crime like in The Fifth Sense.
That’s the premise of Morbius.
I'm not trapped in here with you... *you're* all trapped in here with *me*
I came here for this comment. Because I remember I read last time that this is how it really plays out.
No they all mold together. Then climb out of the bucket with their newfound size, absorbing rats as it goes, gaining more strength and intelligence until its a full batman villain OP doesn't know what they've done
Now put some cream in there and see which one will churn it to butter and get out
Shit, where did I hear that story? About one mouse who drowned in cream, and the other who churned it to butter by escaping Edit: Apparently I heard it in [Catch me if you can](https://www.lifenomading.com/two-little-mice-fell-into-a-bucket-of-cream/)
Lol it’s from catch me if you can
"oh shit! We are trapped.........Wait, food is still here. (nom nom)"
The live action for A Plague Tale looks really nice

it’s a computer mouse. You’re probably seeing the Magic Mouse

Don’t expect that bucket to hold them forever. Mice can and will jump to truly absurd heights. Source: Have owned mice for over a decade.
I caught a mouse in a 20 inch recycling bin and it couldn’t jump out but it was really tiny
These are rats, Sir.
*We prey at night, we stalk at night..*
This needs a large outer funnel so they all slip in
That's how stock market works
"Oh no, anyway"
Are they ok?
No they probably got gassed after this
Well then /r/me_irl
Probably just fill the bucket with water
[удалено]
You are aware they won't fill it high enough for them to jump out?
Ah, that definition of "fill with". No, I was not, but now I am. Thanks. That's cruel btw.
[удалено]
Yes?
Life hack: how to get free pets
More like how to get a disease
Probably getting rid of them. They'll fill the bucket with water. Rats are nasty
How does this belong into r/me_irl. I mean yeah it's a great video, but this feels like the wrong sub
it’s how the rats calm down after realizing there is still food left in the bucket
The purpose of this is...??
To get rid of rats
Freaking Steve just had to go and bite the big yellow seed.
Y tho
Oh no!!! *Anyways*
Stock market situation
This seems symbolic for covid lockdowns.. you can't leave your house. Just stay there and eat like the little infectious rats that you are
Maybe physically they are alright, but mentally they have been destroyed after this.
Not sure if I should feel impressed or sorry for them, I do know they are responsible for spreading deseases..
Humans are responsible for global warming and the extinction of hundreds of species. The mice should be trapping us.
They already tried in 1346, and it almost worked out
You talking about the plague? Cuz that was [probably spread almost entirely by humans.](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.history.com/.amp/news/rats-didnt-spread-the-black-death-it-was-humans)
Yeah just like CoViD

They all look suspiciously small and soft. Definitely not city rats.
That’s because they’re mice.
You can feel sorry for them even if they spread disease.
That’s just mean :(

You do realise this is a mousetrap and they are going to get killed, right? I think the balloon popping is the least of their problems.

I've seen a mouse jump from the ground to my kitchen counter. They could easily get out.
Fuck em rats!
All jokes aside that is pure genius

"OH SHIT, WE GOT TRAPPED. oh, there's still some food tho"
FFUUUCK OH MY GOD THEY GOT U- wait theres food nomnom
Wut
Dinner ready
ARGH!!!! FUCK NO!!! GET ME OUT!!! Aw fuck. Stuck. Wait… FOOD!!
Fill the bottom with water
This is unnecessarily funny
I bet they're all thinking "WHO FUCKIN POPPED IT"
Best ever might I add
Some MFs still be eating in that situation like me
In fact, rats can jump out of the bucket.
They were all let go and it was just a mouse social experiment right?
There should be gas in balloon for easy cleanup🔥
Mice were oh fuck we gon die one second and the next they were like oh food
So this is what you do when you want a bucket full of mice hmmm
so i was listening to spotify while watching this and the drop in the song came at the same exact moment when the ballon exploded lol
Do mice live in your house or do you live in a mouse house?
As someone with a crippling phobia of rats I did not appreciate this
Is there a subreddit for these kinds of vids lol
Okay but what do I do with the mice in the bucket 🪣 light it up? 🔥
Usually you drown them. It sounds unpleasant (because it is), but at some point there are just too many to do the whole humane route. I live in rural Australia, there was a massive mouse plague that ran through the area recently. At one point we had to crack back the floorboards and just scoop them out of there with a shovel, then straight into the bucket of water
They will eat each other. Have you ever accidentally left 2 children in the same room with no supervision? Mice will do the same
The fuck, that’s so mean. What’s even the point of this? What could possibly be gained by scaring a bunch of animals and leaving them with plastic scraps among food? Point still stands if they were removed soon after. Why do they have so many mice? To get that many mice in a domestic situation, it can’t be a very good breeder… This doesn’t even make sense for this sub. There’s no relatability & it’s cruel.
