body part is made to be in multiple different states without any tension info graphic implies that one state is “unnatural”
Yeah, that’s dumb.
For the record, that rodent is a rat not a mouse lol
Random fact: Rats are so god damn cute, i would have one if they had a reasonable life expectancy.
If I had one, my cat would definitely just eat it.
I had one as a kid, they’re great pets. If you ever do get one, you should get more than one. They’re actually quite social and can get lonely, which I unfortunately found out years after mine had passed.
It’s also a wireless rat.
Random piece of information: the Japanese call all of them just “Nezumi” 🐁 🐀
Well the Japanese need to be more specific because they’re very different.
I can’t imaging how hard it is to Google specifically rat or specifically mice questions there lmao
I’m a native speaker of Mandarin (Chinese), where there’s no rat/mouse distinction either. I know that in English they’re different so I do say rat for big ones and mouse for small ones in English, but otherwise they’re basically the same to me.
Have you heard of grue?
In any case, the same applies to animals. They may not be linguistucally differentiated in the same way across language boundaries.
The japanese simply don’t make that distinction and it’s not a problem for them
Plenty of languages (including my Polish) don’t make a distinction between town and city, and they don’t have problems
I feel like town and city is a little less consequential than two separate species
Mice and rats are both generic names for multiple species
Damn, you’re right, welp I stand corrected
Wait, aren’t town and city the same thing?
I think cities are bigger. Hamlet -> Village -> Town -> City -> Metropolis, or something along those lines.
Can also denote a difference in government styles: towns have a town council, cities have a mayor. Cities can be smaller than towns.
This depends on your region, naturally.
Every time im reminded that my bones cross when i turn my hand, i can feel it and get very uncomfortable for like 10 min until i forget again
Real talk, though. I switched to a vertical mouse and almost all of my hand pain went away. Really enjoying it.
I tried a vertical mouse for two days, and painful sensation came to my wrist and arm the first evening, I switched back after the second day and pain was gone after a few more days. Never again. I don’t doubt it’s good for some people, but it’s not for everyone. And I don’t understand why it’s never said anywhere that not everyone will be more comfortable with it.
Not quite fully vertical, but I got a Microsoft Sculpt Mouse ten years ago and it was an overnight improvement. I fear the day it finally gives up the ghost.
What are you using? I’ve been thinking about switching too.
I have a Evoluent VM4R that I’ve really been liking.
I also have a cheap Anker that’s okay as a back up
Anker makes a cheap vertical mouse that works pretty well for me. I would suggest trying that first because it will take time to get used to.
If you are willing to spend a little more, the Evoluent vertical mouse absolutely beats everything I’ve tried in terms of comfort. I bought an older model on eBay because I didn’t want to spend a lot. The only problem with the Evoluent is that the button your middle finger is under is the middle button and your ring finger is the right click. If you can remap the buttons, then it would be hands down the best option. Unfortunately, not everyone can install stuff to remap buttons on their work computer.
Me too. It was one of the few things in life that made a huge difference.
WE SHOULD RENAME THE WIRELESS MOUSE TO HAMSTER
So far a 45° mouse has been the best for me
God damn that person had to be obese as fuck, their fingers look like toes.
