Poor rats. The reason why I study plants and soil.
josephisalsoat
Ummm, so you throw out or hate anything that doesn’t fit you hypothesis?

Congratulations 42. You have passed the first test

There will usually be at least one outlier in a data set
SemperFiZero
The hero Imgur NEEDS, but not the one it DESERVES right now.
NakieRats
As a rat owner, I can honestly say that 99% of rats are assholes. The other 1% are jerks. 100% are special in their own way and I love them.

johsenberg
Fuck yeah. You go little buddy. Fuck shit up
Jburli24
If a single rat can screw up your study, you're doing it wrong. That's what statistical significance is all about
Yitshaq
I am not a number, I am a free mouse!
josephisalsoat
I don’t know to edit comments. Being said, any scientist that rejects data in an experiment is not a scientist.
PoopTransfer
Rats are not typically used for that long in animal testing labs though. I seriously doubt the same rat screwed multiple studies...

Rule 42

As spanish native tongue, reading doctor' name makes me laughing so hard. "Dr. es tu macho" wtf man!
chipstone7
One man's rat is another man's working class hero.

Things that happened.
ItsCaptain0bvious
"Asshole rat"? You mean Lemmiwinks?
LoafNJug
Probably has toxoplasmosis.
Lmedic37
Agreed. It takes away their fear of cats.
Sremmos
Wouldn’t the one rat be an outlier?
Barkinsons
Yeah you could just cull his data
imgur1z
Oh Dr. Stu macho at harvard. He is totally real guys.
ArentWetheWaggies
NIMH!!!!

I love that the rat is #42. He is the answer to big question. What’s the question? Fuck you, figure it out.
javadad60
Have you even bothered to figure out the big question?
doctorbees
As a scientist, that there is what we call an outlier. One outlier won't ruin an entire thesis.
merlinious
1 outlier out of 3 mice might. But having a sample size of 3 means your thesis was worth fuck all anyway...
doctorbees
That's why you don't design shitty studies with only 3 mice in a group.
JeffGodofBiscuits
Fight the system, little brother, we got your back.

RogueLanguageModel
How can one wacky data point screw the whole research?..
JeffGodofBiscuits
Who's side are you on, anyway???
Dontacceptsweetsfromstrangers
#42 is trying to break the fourth wall
HairyPicklePuller
That's because he's secretly performing experiments on us.
Dontacceptsweetsfromstrangers
I hope the answer to the experiments it's not his number
HairyPicklePuller
It's gonna take some deep thought to figure that one out, come back in 7.5 million years.
Willyzyx
Man if I was a scientist I would just remove this asshole from the study..... ......
RemainsspacebarUnknown
i mean its funny if there is always this one mice that screws it up. funny to bring up when mentioning the outliers.
merlinious
That goes against core scientific practices. You cant cherry pick and stull be a meaningful result
TheShadowsLengthen
You know what goes against core scientific practice ? Using the same rat for two different experiments ! Now it's all skewed !
GeneTheAwkward
You know what's also core scientific practices? Removing singular outliers.
GeneTheAwkward
God dammit someone already said it and I'm just blind, feel free to downvote me... -_-
merlinious
Oh i know, i was referring to more extravagant cherry picking
doctorbees
You can remove statistically significant outliers, you just need to say when you do.
Dentistman
yes....like when the rat stabs himself in the stomach while shaving, or, accidentally brutally cut his head off while combing his hair
Willyzyx
Thank you.
merlinious
Im well aware
rikisrad
Being #42, he's probably the answer to all your questions
TheSwedishCryptid
I think 42 was actually a reference to the fact that White mice are the smartest on the planet in HGTTG
Boatsntoes
Deep thought
Talaras4761
But we shall never know the question.
farnation
Mice are the protrusion into our dimension of hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings who are the most intelligent species on the planet1/2
farnation
They spent a lot of their time in laboratories running complex experiments on humans
javadad60
That's because he's a hyperintelligent, pandimensional being.
iancarry
he propably has an offer for the scientist... something about prosthetic brain i guess :D
TheShadowsLengthen
So, I'm gonna ruin everything (again), but with proper methodology you're not supposed to use the same rat for two different experiments...
DirtRockets
Thank you and...
thingssomeonesays
Wh...what happens to the rats after the experiment is over, then?
eskamobob1
im almost poitive this is the onion
ProJunior
"Dr. Stu Macho"... uh yeah
coolkidwestern
Realistically they’re going to though, they’re not going to kill/give Away 40 rats every time they perform a non-invasive test
darkhalfbreed
Im just gunna stop you here, this is a joke story. Don't think so hard into it
TheShadowsLengthen
Thinking too hard into things is how I broke my mind in the first place. Or was it my skull ? And a wall ? Whateverver....
OtenShiro
Having 1 outlier would more than likely not ruin an experiment alongside having new test animals. Also, rats do not wink...
davidthemonkey
Rats most definitely do "wink" perhaps not for the reason s humans do, but they definitely can...
DirtRockets
... Thank you
TheShadowsLengthen
Why would you take one rat from an experiment for another experiment, especially if it doesn't teach you anything ? Also, rats can blink...
OtenShiro
I said wink...?
TheShadowsLengthen
You blink with one eye = you wink ! Animals don't attach any significance to it, but nothing stops them from doing it physically !
OtenShiro
Lol, out of context sure, but if you take it in context why would it wink without any attached significance?
OtenShiro
Also you already stated that, so I wasn't going to restate your point...?
TheShadowsLengthen
What I meant is that nobody is gonna reuse rats in a serious laboratory. Unless you somehow attached yourself to it ? Bias !! Bias I say !
OtenShiro
I know, that's what your first comment said. That's why I said "restate" your point. I'm not finding flaw, but adding on with my comment
