New York discovers the rat-killing effect of extreme cold
« on: February 23, 2026, 06:24:02 pm »
To bad it is a rodent and not the real rat problem.

The extreme winter weather gripping New York City, where 20 people have died from the cold in just 18 days, could have an unexpected side-effect: a decrease in the rat population. Fed up with trying to combat the presence of rodents in parks, streets, and subway tunnels using countless methods, including the appointment of a rat czar, the city views this winter’s historic extreme temperatures as an effective form of natural selection.

Without the usual detritus on the sidewalks — which have been covered in snow and ice for weeks — rats are finding it difficult to feed, leading to stress that can also inhibit their reproduction. As such, not only are they hard to spot on the streets, where they used to roam freely, but this sexual inhibition promises a more merciful spring and summer for those who despise rodents.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Oh...they will find a way to survive. They may just chew or wiggle their way into warm homes.

Yes... then the other shoe drops...

The only rat DNA to survive will be deep in the underground... rats as big as small ponies.

Good luck with that, NYC  happy77

The rats which survive will be the smartest, most resourceful, and the hardiest most weather resistant rats ever.
This is how evolution, natural selection works.

Islam sanitizes oppression. Islam rebrands cruelty as culture, and expects applause from Liberal fools for their Islamic progressivism.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists
