    there is a right wing influencer who used a dead rat as an alarm clock: when the sun heated up the corpse enough to smell, it would wake him up.

      Pretty expensive alarm clock given that rats are like 1-2€ a piece (depending on the size)

      Wouldn’t he have to kill a rat about the same time every day to get it to smell? Things don’t really stink like death in less than a day, even under a hot sun.

      I imagine he’d have to kill rats, let them simmer until they’re just about to smell, freeze them at the state of almost-stank, and take them out to thaw before he goes to bed.

      But where are the rat alarms to tell him when to kill more rats?
