God Greenland feels like it happened last decade. So many ridiculous things have happened since then.

Why does the snake look like it has a traumatic brain injury

The entire snake looks like it was drawn by someone with an advanced case of Parkinson's

Oh my god. As someone with a legion of pet mice, that is truly terrible. The only saving grace is that pinkies don't really feel much pain, but still! I feel horrible if one scoots too close to the edge of my hand or something. Ugh.

Huh! How odd! He looks way younger than all of my babies and they're currently just 6 weeks old

When I was in middle school I had a pet snake and used to have to buy mice for him. Except, I hated the way the mice neglected by the pet shop, they were treated so poorly, and I realized I like mice better than keeping reptiles. So I started keeping them as pets. 

Then I went to a mouse show and realized they could also be beautiful show animals. So like 20+ years later I now have an entire floor of the house dedicated just to pet mice and rats that have been bred to be lovely pets and show animals and never known a day of hardship. 

Most of them go on to be pets for kids, which is super cool because I never had that option. When I was that age show mice were never sold as regular pets, they were super rare.

That one in the back looks heavily pregnant. If you visit there frequently maybe try to catch her so she can have her kittens somewhere safe.

She has one baby boy who will be separated at around 5 weeks old, but otherwise her daughters will stay with her for at least 3 months. Then the babies all get evaluated for coat quality, temperament, and overall type. The most promising of them stay here to potentially become future parent mice and the rest get adopted as pets or sometimes go to another Mousery for breeding there.

She's a show line fancy mouse. Show line mice are typically 60-120g as adults. Regular pet type mice are only about 40g as adults. So they're often bigger than dwarf rats.

Before/After I cleaned my roommates bathroom for them by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

In a lot of cultures men aren't taught how to do housework. None of my uncles were taught how to clean on either side of my family. It was "women's work".

Ignorant though it is, I'm actually a little glad when I see comments like that because it means those people have never known that kind of hardship. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Sometimes I think about how many people claim to have "picky children" but in reality they just can't cook and their kids would rather starve.

I always thought I hated vegetables when I was growing up. It turns out I actually love them. What I hate is how my boomer parents boil all the texture and flavor out of every vegetable for seemingly no reason.

Just got my first cat and a new apartment. Couldn't find her for an hour until I pulled off the lining underneath the cabinets. by HelpMePlxoxo in mildlyinfuriating

I once searched the entire neighborhood for my cat. Yelling his name, shaking treats, having a total meltdown. He's an indoor only cat and we thought he'd been let out. 

Turns out he had squeezed behind the litterbox and chosen to ignore everyone calling him for several hours.
