        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.

      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

          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

          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.

    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.

        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.

      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.
