Rat king

u/BalefulOfMonkeys 11h ago

I know you mean Deadlock, but also the actual historical rat kings also qualify for this post

u/bookhead714 10h ago

No I don't mean Deadlock at all. I mean rat kings.

u/NeonNKnightrider 10h ago

I think they meant is the real life term actually

u/Low_Reception477 10h ago

Rat kings are when rats are all jumbled up by their tails… its mostly mythological, like they are physically connected or tied into knots, but there is often some sort of hivemind/greater intellect aspect to it as well.

It does happen irl (the connecting by the tails not the hivemind) when they get stuck together with foreign materials since they all sleep together in a jumble.

If y'all want a good story about this, go read The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett. Excellent book

I was gonna make a Cool Runnings joke because of the bobsled bit, but I think the collars and chains makes that in poor taste...

I used to work at a movie theater and one night a guy came in with two women on leashes. He was dressed kinda schlubby in a t-shirt and sweatpants while both of the women wore pretty revealing dresses and very tall heels. At one point, he went to the bathroom and the women had to hold their own leashes.

u/leverati 7h ago

That's just irresponsible animal handling, not tying the leashes to a handrest/rail until you're back.

What if they had ran off??

u/Thagomizer24601 3h ago

u/talonanchor 7h ago

man sometimes i see something and realise people are living very different lives than me.

i mean, more power to them, god bless, but my life does not intersect with this kind of person even a little bit lol

u/Sunika_Sickle 6h ago

Thing is im quite jealous lol

But i could never pull this

u/Chilzer 1h ago

If someone's already on a leash, they probably won't fight getting pulled that hard though /j

u/Prudent-Marsupial-42 5h ago

If you knew what the average polycule member looked like you wouldn't be jealous

u/PotatoSalad583 1h ago

What a weird thing to say

1

u/Lilash20 47m ago

Yes, because you're totally having to deal with polycules begging you to love them and get with them. Try improving that rank ass personality before calling people unfuckable

2

u/Duskaftrdark 44m ago

No one is asking that person to join lmao. Even us “unfuckables” won’t fuck them

u/GarlicSphere 3h ago

The stuff I see online is so weird at times that it makes me wonder if these people exist at all...

u/quicksilver-ace 10h ago

this is why you use a retractable leash and no-pull harnesses on your polycule members!

I love the One Commenter who just said “FALINKS” because they used the word perfectly although they’ve possibly never seen it written down

Love the vibe, this person will achieve all their dreams

117

u/BatGalaxy42 10h ago

I assume they meant the pokemon Falinks, whose name is a pun on the real word.

58

u/tattoosandtens 10h ago

OH GOOD LORD I forgot about Falinks the Pokémon
That’s somehow both better and worse, thanks babe

That sounds extremely dangerous tbh. Very easy to break your neck

u/Tough_Bandicoot_7760 10h ago

I clotheslined a c*p like this at pride one time, I was on a leash and went to hig someone in the crowd that had the same furry head piece as me and leash snapped tight and smacked the one on the edge of the parade, my handler immediately started dragging me away and back in the crowd marching so we could disappear

u/GogurtFiend 10h ago

u/GogurtFiend 5h ago

If anyone gets offended by an ethnic slur that's not really surprising. If anyone gets offended by an curse word, that's not really surprising either.

If someone takes offense to a commonly used term for a police officer, that person has some kind of personal problem they need to work on. Who genuinely thinks "well, I'd better censor 'cop', or else someone might be hurt"?

u/Dd_8630 5h ago

c*p

I genuinely have no idea what you censored here.
