Hey /sci/ I heard a scratching sound in my room coming from the ceiling. I know that the room behind the wall in front of me goes a little bit higher ceiling-wise, so I went in to check on my room mates. I woke them up. Apparently they were not generating this noise.

I return to my room. The noise is still there. Coming most certainly from the ceiling. I take my metal water bottle and tap the ceiling the way you would tap something with a hammer and the noise stopped, like a robber a dead in his tracks. I think I have a fucking rat infestation, and I have no idea how rats work, or how soon I ought to evacuate my dorm, but since I don't plan on sleeping in my dorm, (once this thread is done, if it doesn't help me, than I'm going to sleep in my car) I feel safe enough, as long as I'm awake. People can run faster than rats, right?

Again newfag. The dean's asleep and there's no assisstants or any shit I can talk to. What the fuck do I do? Besides transfer to a new college, obviously.

Why would OP think he was a rat? Wouldn't OP think he would remember being a rat?

From the future OP's point of view, he doesn't know who or what he is annoying for sure but he thinks he is annoying that damn rat that made a noise before. But the sounds that the future OP is making to annoy the rat are flowing back in time and annoying OP's past self instead. You are overthinking it, it's okay.

no this guy is right. cracked has very entertainingly bullshit science articles. They do research like a high school kid does research: they skim google scholar until they find one article that conforms to their opinion, then summarize it.

How about Moot gives us a randomly generated name that can't be copied? Basically the ID system, only more memorable. It's completely different for each new thread you join, but it makes conversations easier to follow, and samefags easier to spot.

>sense making overuling scientific inquiry.

What?
