The researchers who first did this found that eventually the rats seemed to love driving tiny cars around.

Pshh, I want to see the look on their faces when they hit 5:00 rat traffic.

Link doesn't work 😭

Edit: original corrected link still doesn't work, guess I don't have a msn account or something. Link below by Nailingjello works.

Now I want more pet rats driving around. Looks awesome.

Please tell me you put a gate up over the staircase there, and just let them drive around to their heart's content.

Their only crime was loving each other!

So you're saying, we could have had full self driving cars a century ago.

It's just a simpler version of my life. Except I have to drive to a job to get a paycheck first, then drive to collect my treats

This might be the best thing I've seen today.
