I Will Never Understand The "mouse Good And Cute, Rats Evil And Icky" Stuff In Media. It's Everywhere,

I will never understand the "mouse good and cute, rats evil and icky" stuff in media. It's everywhere, and it's... weird.

"Rats are more violent than mice" is true... but "rats spread more disease than mice" is not, and "rats aren't as cute as mice" makes no sense if you just... look at real ones.

Like... real rats looks nothing like the demonized rat caricatures you see. They just look like bigger mice with longer muzzles. They're not sharper or rougher anywhere.

I don't get it....

Where does it even come from? It's not like the people who have to deal with mice and rats would like mice.

there are many such big guys like this

does anyone else ever think about how the capybara has a drastic impact on the average rodent size? like mice, rats, squirrels, etc. are all roughly the same size, but then the capybara comes along and gives the impression to everyone who forgot it that the average rodent is much bigger than a squirrel

I don't want my cellphone to have AI I want it to have 3 days of battery time. I don't want my computer to have AI preinstalled I want it to have seven usb ports and high ram at affordable price. I don't want my games to have AI built levels I want them to be so optimized I could run them on a nokia.

A photo of an agouti looking off into the distance. The animal has large pink ears and a pink snout. It is coated in short brownish hair which is paler at its neck and chest. It somewhat resembles a giant mouse.

Cutie… patootie... agouti? You might know the capybara, but what about its distant cousin the red-rumped agouti (Dasyprocta leporina)? This wide-ranging mammal can be found in forests throughout northern South America including Colombia, Brazil, and Venezuela. Though smaller than its more famous relative, this hefty rodent can weigh up to 13 lbs (5.9 kg). It dines on a diet of fruit, nuts, and seeds. Like a squirrel, the agouti will bury surplus food to save for a later date. But sometimes this critter forgets to come back for its stash, spreading seeds throughout its habitat as a result.
