I once was going to an exam. I took the elevator and pressed on the 0 button. Then it stopped for a second. I heard something move with a very subtle shriek. Then i heard some fleshy sounds and something hit the roof. And the elevator continued. I got out and i saw a rat's head stuck in the wires of the elevator. One of the most brutal things I've ever encountered in my life.

We had a mouse running around our downstairs area for a few weeks with no success of capturing it. Sometimes it would even show up on our cameras as if it were mocking us. One day we had to move our stove to prep for renovations and lo and behold, it was the same mouse dead in a hole it had chewed into the wall. It apparently got so fat that it got stuck and died in the very hole it created. Crazy.
One cold day some years ago, my uncle found a mouse squashed by a frozen tomato. The sequence of events that led to the tomatoes freezing, that particular tomato snapping off and falling, and the mouse walking under it at _just_ the right (wrong?) time, is highly out of probability. And yet, there the poor lil guy was, smooshed to death by a not-vegetable weighing maybe a pound with the ice. To the mouse, it wasn't even a possibility, nary a thought in its little squeaky head. To physics, it was the cold inevitability of systems on systems working in conjunction; a blind assemblage of forces unbeknownst to lesser creatures yet inexorable and undeniable all the same. All I have to offer is this: remember that sometimes you are the tomato, and sometimes you are the mouse. Take care when setting out into the open... and be just a little bit more cautious. For your sake, and for others'.

I work as an arborist. We had a wood chipper that was out of service for a while, due to it being an outdated model and us having newer, better ones available to us. It sat outside the shop for a few months. Finally, one day, my boss decided that it was wasting space, so he wanted to sell it, if it still worked. He started it up to give it a test. There was an awful and very quick noise, some squealing, and a bunch of mangled mice corpses flew out the chute of the wood chipper. We don’t know how many mice were living in there. They were just little creatures looking for shelter, and they found it. But one day, out of the blue, their home was not so kind to them. They were violently evicted for reasons they will never be able to comprehend and subjected to forces that were designed to rip apart beings much larger than they were. Thank you. This video gives me a whole new perspective on that incident.
I've seen a lot of dead small animals in my time in the trades, but one that will always stick with me is when I was teenager and some mice nested in the engine of my dad's riding lawnmower during the winter. When we went to start it up for the first time that year in spring, we heard a quick, strange noise come from inside, then stopped it to look; there they were, two mice, victims of unfortunate happenstance. Just like Electrocuted Rat, they were gone before they could know that something happened, mangled by the hand of forces beyond their comprehension, their only crime having been being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and never aware that the memory of them shall be with me for as long as I live. We always check anything with a motor or engine now, though
I had a fair share of dead mice, but mine was pretty tragic. There was a bonfire we were trying to get started, and in the pit of it, there was this mouse trying to figure out why he was so hot. My grandpa tried to get him out using a rake, but the mouse was too afraid of his only means of escape and threw himself into the ashes of the fire. The ash seared the mouse alive, and my grandpa was too late to get him out of the pit. He died struggling to breathe with a bunch of hot ash covering his body. :(
Yet, strangely enough, the mouse lives on, decades past its lifespan, through the power of sheer memory alone. Ironically the act of dying has immortalized those two unfortunate creatures in the annals of a vast network of silicon and electrons...it's paradoxical. The mice will never know that the unwitting callousness of their demise had been put on display for thousands of souls to witness. I suppose in death to some truly begin to live.
I mean in order to type that comment you had to take a bunch of grey crystaline-looking rocks (silicon), compress them after putting some precious metals in them (namely gold/silver), then put a small controlled amount of lightening through the rocks, and then put all of that in a box of hardened petroleum (for cell phones) or a steel box (for PCs). Oh, and don't forget passing that same lightening through liquified crystals (LCDs) and pressing some buttons or having the liquified lightening-crystals react to your touch directly.

I work at a large water treatment plant. Like a large large one. But it only took two rats who were hanging out in an electrical cabinet to touch the wrong wire, one disintegrated and the other one got rotisserie. There was a rat shape on the panel. The trends said it got 17000 amps. Took out half the plant. AND it’s a true story
Lmao at the 17000A surge, like a clogged pipe the pressure built up at the blockage until it cleared, i.e. unfortunate rodent was sublimated into a plasma state, this removing obstruction What a strangely beautiful way to die, turned into a star for an instant
One-tenth of one amp (0.1 Amps or 100mA) is considered a life-threatening current for humans, especially if it goes across your heart. 17kA into a rat probably sent him back to the Dawn of Time. All Hail the Eternal Spark Rat.

Reminds me of this one time back in the Army. A bird got fried by a radar and exploded in a puff of feathers leading to a sequence of events wherein a gaggle of over caffeinated, nicotine addicted grunts decorated the transceiver housing with the poor critter's skull. While the item was in place, the unit never had even a single hiccup or calibration error. No power failures, (which had been happening off an on in the pre-dawn and twilight hours). Perfect operation. Then a butterbar with an ego bigger than a coastal radar array made the techs remove it and the unit went back to being a shitshow. The machine-spirits were not pleased I guess.
I distinctly remember a post replying to an image like this talking about how inconceivably powerful humanity is to a rodent, how we made it to the darkest depths of the mariana trench and communicate vast distances through a sea of glass and metal. If anyone could find this post I'm talking about, I would deeply appreciate it.
A singular human may be frail and weak but humanity as an entity is the most powerful being in this planet, when enough humans decide to work together to do something there is very little that can stop them
"We have taken the remains of eons dead entities and extracted the whispers of lifeforce they still contained. Thin tendrils of metal envelop the world in harsh sharp-lined webs, channeling this stolen power from mountain to valley, from barren field, to clustered warrens of stone and glass that claw to the skies. With this web of energy, we empower our crystals. Both black and colorless at the same time, until we channel the power we hold within them. When we do, they alight with a thousand twisting colors, changing and contorting at our command. Eldritch runes of a kind unseen in any prior eon, have been scoured into these black yet colorless crystals with whisper thin etchings of stone. When the power of the desecrated dead are channeled through them, the stone runes think for themselves, and obey our commands. With our runes and crystals and crackling necrotic energies, we steal images from the world around us. Specific wavelengths of radiation, the vibrations you cause in the air, the runes steal them, engrave them into the crystals, and then sing them out to the world. Ley lines of radiation blanket the globe, pulsing with songs of an unknown language. The crystals know. The runes know. What one human sees and steals with his crystal, and sings out into the ley lines, all humans will know as their crystals sing to them in turn. What one sees, all see. When one watches, all watch. And remember. Forever."
Rat: I was brought into this world by forces I do not understand and removed from it in the same manner. My story is your story. Such is the fate of all life.
My mother told me that she might have cancer and is waiting on a diagnosis today. This voiceover was strangely comforting. Death is inevitable, but it will never compare to life. Death is abundant, that is why it's worthless as everyone will eventually experience it. Life for one person is the only one they get, that is why it's precious. If you don't live it to the fullest, you only have yourself to blame. I accept this.
In that instant the rat's eigenstates suffered a multidimensional collapse, it's waveforms in all 11 dimensions cancelled out and it's probability was reduced to 0.
Putting it all together, the statement humorously suggests that the electrocution caused the rat's quantum states (eigenstates) to collapse in all possible dimensions, effectively nullifying its existence by reducing its probability to zero. While this is a highly poetic and scientifically exaggerated description, it emphasizes the sudden and total nature of the rat's demise._ChatGPT
I imagine higher beings more powerful than us may simply understand forces we can’t recognize. We understand radiation, electricity, magnetism, and chemical reactions that may be invisible through technology and extensive research, but imagine all the forces we have yet to even discover. Imagine all the forces we CAN’T discover.
And imagine all the senses and different modes of perceiving reality that we are biologically incapable of ever experiencing. An alien with more senses than us might look at us like a blind mole.

This just feels like an allegory for cosmic horror. Constantly being on the precipice of being killed in brutal and incomprehensible ways due to workings you aren't physically or mentally equipped to recognize or avoid generated by entities who are advanced in ways your brain could never even begin to process because they are so far beyond your level of understanding and intellect that their world and its dangers are essentially invisible to you. We all could be mice roaming dangerously close to electrical conduits just inches away from death and not even know it until it's too late. Meanwhile thousands of people just go missing every year and nobody can seem to figure out why.
We could all get schwacked by stray star cores or other scary space shit so fast that we’d be atoms before our nerves can even realize we got hurt, and it can happen any time
This reminds me of how when I was younger, I thought my PS2 was failing inexplicably. It would run fine for a little while, then eventually just shut off after a bit. I couldn't figure out why for a long time until I really started trying to troubleshoot to see if there was anything save replacing it I could do, and when I checked the fan, I found a fairly large, dead spider wedged between the blades of the cooling fan and whatever those parts of the casing are called that prevent (humans) from sticking parts of their body into the fan.
That's pretty wild. For some odd reason the PlayStation family of consoles are notorious for attracting insects and spiders, specifically cockroaches into the housing.
still nothing compared to the time the car in front of ours hit a pregnant deer which went into labor, flung the newborn deer into the air and splattered into our windshield. imagine having a full lifespan of 11 seconds, 10 of which are spent soaring through a strange new sunlit world out of the womb with the wind blowing and the birds calling and the sound of cars driving through the woods and before it has time to comprehend any of what it has witnessed it goes splat, agonizing pain and then fade to black. it's kind of like the whale from Hitchhikers Guide
One of my favorite poems is about when the poet hit a pregnant deer and decided to roll its body into a ravine to prevent another car accident, hesitated when he noticed how warm the belly was, and then pushed it over anyway. This is like an even crazier version of that
The fact he would have been ok having touched one or the other, but not both. And by some chance he managed to put both paws on opposing channels, and its all over. And there he stayed, and decayed, until he was found.
Reminds me of when our ac stopped working because a lizard had entered the big generator thing and the poor thing was fried to a crisp, but after we removed it it continued to function
Once found a dead bird in my boot. We leave some of our shoes in the garage, and we have birds that tend to sneak in there. The poor thing must’ve gotten trapped and crawled inside the boot for warmth. I initially thought it was a bunched up sock when I put the boot on, so I stuck my hand in there to bring it out. Took me a minute before I processed what I was holding and I dropped it out of pure shock. I don’t think I’ll forget how stiff and lifeless that bird felt, or how frozen it sounded when I dropped it.
This is closer to an elegy than a eulogy. In truth though I think this is more redolent of a gnome, in the sense of the word meaning a foreboding anecdotal aphorism.
I found a mouse like this once when i cleaned out my dryer. The poor dude was probably trying to find a warm spot to chill and ended up hugging the positive and negative terminals.
That's why RCCB was invented. PS: Residual current circuit breaker, it breaks the circuit in microseconds as soon as it detects that the current going in one wire is not exactly equal to the current coming back in another wire. If current in live and neutral wires is not exactly equal it means current is leaking to ground from somewhere, which also means someone is being electrocuted and letting current leak through him to ground.
I was at a friends house YEARS ago, playing tekken 3 and then suddenly there was a bright blue flash and the breaker popped. A mouse was behind the tv and chewed through the wires while we were playing. We found it fried behind the tv when his dad reset the breaker and the playstation still wouldnt turn on
My dad saw the og photo of the mouse after reading roadside picnic and he made a very apt comparison Forces out of his comprehension killed him in an instant just cause he stepped wrong And then a stalker may be flung into the air 500 feet or be electrocuted same as the mouse
this reminds me of a thought i had about animals. They fear us... and they dont even know why. A deer sees a mountain lion and they know it will kill them by chasing and attacking them with its claws and teeth. A deer sees a human. and all it knows is that its going to point a stick at you from a hundred feet away and youre just going to die
Electrician here- this is a standard (SAE) grounding rat, used as an overload suppressor. It's rubber and ceramic, found in most electrical cabinets across the country.
I was once walking along an electric fence at my house when I heard a zapping sound. I assumed there was a blade of grass touching the fence, but lo and behold it was a spider. It turns out the fence wasn't supposed to be on, so the lever that completed the circuit wasn't making contact. But the gap was just small enough that a spider had tried to cross it. It was fried instantly. I could tell by looking at it that it had been there for quite a while. It was missing a leg or two, and it almost looked like it was starting to boil (if that's even possible). The thing was just trying to get from one point to another, and was instantly taken from this world by something beyond it or any creature like its comprehension.

In elementary schools in the 70's they held a charity called "send a mouse to college." It sounded so sweet and innocuous...my introduction to word salad.
The fact that the flesh on his front legs is more intact than his head terrifies me. Imagine slowly having your face being melted off while you're still conscious... Which is _I_ replaced all my flesh! Can't electrocute me if I conduct it away! *laughs in Mechanicus*
The flesh of the legs remains while the skull is bare because A) the skull is full of watery tissue that rots very quickly B) the legs were directly exposed to the electricity, which kills the cells and facilitates drying.
Had a mouse make a nest in the furnace of the house I was renting in (an old 1901 house that’s had work done on it over the years). Decided to fry themselves by chewing on a wire which arched on the metal panels and caused a short circuit, affectively causing the unit to shut off for safety reasons. This all happened in the middle of winter, on New Year’s Eve late at night after I had just gotten home from working 3rd shift.
Since we’re all sharing stories of dead animals, I found a decayed cat in a truck engine bay I bought from a buddies dad who died, let me explain. Last summer hadn’t heard from the neighbour in a week, called 911 and they gave me permission to check on him, found him dead, wasn’t exactly fun. His son took a plane down soon as he could, super nice guy, and since he couldn’t take his dad’s truck back with him, he sold it to me for a half decent price. We were playing around with it and noticed huh, the steering was loose as all hell, opened the hood, intermediate steering shaft looked like it’s been pried on, and there’s a thick caking of “gunk” all near it that we got all over our hands. So I get under the truck to peak around, and find a bit of fur, strange, so I pull at it and bones from a cat fall on my fuckin face. We worked for an hour trying to pick every piece of that poor little guy outta the truck, wasn’t the most pleasant of experiences, but made my best friend that day.
When I was 6 years old my whole block smelt horrible, turns out a drunk college kid tried crossing the train tracks and made contact with the third rail and was cooked like a burnt steak. It was kind of disturbing as kid

I mean in order to type that comment you had to take a bunch of grey crystaline-looking rocks (silicon), compress them after putting some precious metals in them (namely gold/silver), then put a small controlled amount of lightening through the rocks, and then put all of that in a box of hardened petroleum (for cell phones) or a steel box (for PCs). Oh, and don't forget passing that same lightening through liquified crystals (LCDs) and pressing some buttons or having the liquified lightening-crystals react to your touch directly.

I work at a large water treatment plant. Like a large large one. But it only took two rats who were hanging out in an electrical cabinet to touch the wrong wire, one disintegrated and the other one got rotisserie. There was a rat shape on the panel. The trends said it got 17000 amps. Took out half the plant. AND it’s a true story
that's insane how it just got atomized
Oh yeah. one got instantly turned into an highly conductive plasma and the other got flash fried by said plasma.
Lmao at the 17000A surge, like a clogged pipe the pressure built up at the blockage until it cleared, i.e. unfortunate rodent was sublimated into a plasma state, this removing obstruction

A bird got fried by a radar and exploded in a puff of feathers leading to a sequence of events wherein a gaggle of over caffeinated, nicotine addicted grunts decorated the transceiver housing with the poor critter's skull. While the item was in place, the unit never had even a single hiccup or calibration error. No power failures, (which had been happening off an on in the pre-dawn and twilight hours). Perfect operation. Then a butterbar with an ego bigger than a coastal radar array made the techs remove it and the unit went back to being a shitshow. The machine-spirits were not pleased I guess.

"We have taken the remains of eons dead entities and extracted the whispers of lifeforce they still contained. Thin tendrils of metal envelop the world in harsh sharp-lined webs, channeling this stolen power from mountain to valley, from barren field, to clustered warrens of stone and glass that claw to the skies. With this web of energy, we empower our crystals. Both black and colorless at the same time, until we channel the power we hold within them. When we do, they alight with a thousand twisting colors, changing and contorting at our command.
Eldritch runes of a kind unseen in any prior eon, have been scoured into these black yet colorless crystals with whisper thin etchings of stone. When the power of the desecrated dead are channeled through them, the stone runes think for themselves, and obey our commands.
With our runes and crystals and crackling necrotic energies, we steal images from the world around us. Specific wavelengths of radiation, the vibrations you cause in the air, the runes steal them, engrave them into the crystals, and then sing them out to the world. Ley lines of radiation blanket the globe, pulsing with songs of an unknown language. The crystals know. The runes know. What one human sees and steals with his crystal, and sings out into the ley lines, all humans will know as their crystals sing to them in turn.
What one sees, all see. When one watches, all watch. And remember. Forever."

Putting it all together, the statement humorously suggests that the electrocution caused the rat's quantum states (eigenstates) to collapse in all possible dimensions, effectively nullifying its existence by reducing its probability to zero.

This reminds me of how when I was younger, I thought my PS2 was failing inexplicably. It would run fine for a little while, then eventually just shut off after a bit. I couldn't figure out why for a long time until I really started trying to troubleshoot to see if there was anything save replacing it I could do, and when I checked the fan, I found a fairly large, dead spider wedged between the blades of the cooling fan and whatever those parts of the casing are called that prevent (humans) from sticking parts of their body into the fan.
That's pretty wild.

Once found a dead bird in my boot. We leave some of our shoes in the garage, and we have birds that tend to sneak in there. The poor thing must’ve gotten trapped and crawled inside the boot for warmth. I initially thought it was a bunched up sock when I put the boot on, so I stuck my hand in there to bring it out. Took me a minute before I processed what I was holding and I dropped it out of pure shock. I don’t think I’ll forget how stiff and lifeless that bird felt, or how frozen it sounded when I dropped it.

That's why RCCB was invented.
PS: Residual current circuit breaker, it breaks the circuit in microseconds as soon as it detects that the current going in one wire is not exactly equal to the current coming back in another wire.
If current in live and neutral wires is not exactly equal it means current is leaking to ground from somewhere, which also means someone is being electrocuted and letting current leak through him to ground.
That thing saved me from being burnt to crisp
I was at a friends house YEARS ago, playing tekken 3 and then suddenly there was a bright blue flash and the breaker popped. A mouse was behind the tv and chewed through the wires while we were playing. We found it fried behind the tv when his dad reset the breaker and the playstation still wouldnt turn on

Forces out of his comprehension killed him in an instant just cause he stepped wrong
And then a stalker may be flung into the air 500 feet or be electrocuted same as the mouse

It was fried instantly. I could tell by looking at it that it had been there for quite a while. It was missing a leg or two, and it almost looked like it was starting to boil (if that's even possible). The thing was just trying to get from one point to another, and was instantly taken from this world by something beyond it or any creature like its comprehension.

Decided to fry themselves by chewing on a wire which arched on the metal panels and caused a short circuit, affectively causing the unit to shut off for safety reasons. This all happened in the middle of winter, on New Year’s Eve late at night after I had just gotten home from working 3rd shift.

Since we’re all sharing stories of dead animals, I found a decayed cat in a truck engine bay I bought from a buddies dad who died, let me explain. Last summer hadn’t heard from the neighbour in a week, called 911 and they gave me permission to check on him, found him dead, wasn’t exactly fun. His son took a plane down soon as he could, super nice guy, and since he couldn’t take his dad’s truck back with him, he sold it to me for a half decent price. We were playing around with it and noticed huh, the steering was loose as all hell, opened the hood, intermediate steering shaft looked like it’s been pried on, and there’s a thick caking of “gunk” all near it that we got all over our hands. So I get under the truck to peak around, and find a bit of fur, strange, so I pull at it and bones from a cat fall on my fuckin face. We worked for an hour trying to pick every piece of that poor little guy outta the truck, wasn’t the most pleasant of experiences, but made my best friend that day.
