It's unknown whether the naked mole-rat can pass the mirror test because no ethics committee will approve the experiment due to the potential for psychological #trauma to the test subjects.

Hi, Pat here. I'm just a geek.
(she, he, they... anything but it)
I'm a refugee from that bird-brained platform. (They shadow-banned me.)
I think privacy is important.
Here's a weird joke I made up as an intro:
A man walks into a bar...
At first he's in limbo,
then the bar falls.
Then the bartender hangs up the bar again.
Then it's the next guy's turn to try to bend over backwards and shimmy under the bar.
