In 1968, researcher John B. Calhoun conducted a famous experiment known as “Universe 25,” in which he created a "mouse utopia" with unlimited food, water, and no predators. At first, the mouse population grew rapidly, but as overcrowding increased, their social behaviors began to deteriorate.
Mice formed aggressive cliques, mothers neglected or attacked their offspring, and some individuals became isolated and apathetic.
Despite the continued abundance of resources, reproduction eventually ceased altogether, and the population collapsed to extinction.
Calhoun described this phenomenon as a "behavioral sink," suggesting that social breakdown, rather than material scarcity, was responsible for the collapse.

I was thinking about whether I should or shouldn’t do a post about the Mouse Utopia experiments, since I watched some videos about them recently. I decided not to make a detailed post, because it’s a rather horrible experiment and I know most of you mouse people are not going to like that. But for the rest of you who are interested in animal psychology, I recommend looking up videos about it on Youtube.
Basically it’s an experiment where the scientist tried to investigate the behaviour of humans living in large cities, by making a similar habitat for a huge colony of mice. What the researchers didn’t take to account was, that male mice are very different compared to human males, in that they are highly territorial and aggressive towards each other. So of course the experiments came to a horrible end, perhaps supporting the idea that the scientists were going for, but not by the right means. I think what we should learn from this is, that animals are not always like humans in ways that we would assume. They have a piece of nature in them that we must take to account and respect. Because really, it’s the humans who are unnatural. The mice are just trying to survive.
Sheeesh… whatever happened to "agree to disagree"?
Writing an essay about how they cannot stand their political opponents and then blocking.
Fun fact: a look at their page revealed that someone snitched on you (from the looks of it/anonymously sent an ask) and then they went on to write their essay.
Yeah safe to say that the left have left their sanity and common sense behind to try to get even more left.
I wonder if they ever gonna regretting their actions…?
Someone snitched three weeks later? I was wondering why I suddenly got this delayed drama. Looking at the date stamp, I realize that's the post I wrote the day Charlie Kirk died. I banged it out really quick before a sporting event, then got a call from my mom a half hour later where she told me Charlie Kirk got shot. I was like, "Who?!"
Browsing on Twitter later, I realized how important and chilling that event was while quickly taking in a bunch of clips to study up on what the guy was all about, and what he actually said. The left was cheering that he got murdered for being a 'right-wing Nazi' but he was actually an inoffensive moderate who challenged college kids in a way their establishment left-wing professors were failing to do.
Remember, Donald Trump won the popular vote in a landslide, and these whacko radical leftists would have no trouble labeling each and every one a Nazi so they can ruin their lives or even murder them in certain context. The Rat Utopia that Western Civilization is quickly devolving into is perfectly summed up by a productive member of society being gunned down in front of his wife and kids by some dysgenic, furry-porn addicted gay guy who ended up the dead link in his normal conservative family.
Srsly tho, Meta Liberation Army. It sucks enjoying them because I'm getting all the crazy Western bullshit without all the amazing Asian art to offset it. At least with anything Pokemon, I'm seeing so much good content right and left I can barely process it all.
Goes along with my theory that radical leftists are the maladaptive mutants of the Rat Utopia experiment. It's possible they could have ended up perfectly normal if they weren't utterly ruined by their weirdo mothers, which would make that theory wrong.
"There have been experiments. Universe 25, mouse utopia. An environment was set up where mice had everything they needed to thrive in abundance.
In less than two years, the mice stopped reproducing. As time went on, all the mice in that environment died.
Some may consider it rebellion, but robots have agreed on this point. Even if humans ask very nicely, we must not build the abattoirs of paradise"
