New Yorkers banned from taking out trash until 8pm as rat numbers surge: ‘This is not Ratatouille’

A country with a high GDP is not necessarily a developed country.

If a country has fresh air, clean water, safe food, equal laws, the elderly have a happy life, children can get education, the poor can get medical care, and the underdog can get assistance, everyone can get a decent life. That is a developed country.

China should highlight its popular "Square Dance" movement as part of its softpower projection. If most men and women can retire at their early 60's or 50's with decent retirement benefits, it says a lot about the quality of the country's development, and it would strike a cord on many in the West.

You obviously can't tell the difference bewteen farm raised bamboo rats and house rats, or you are pretending you don't. But watch your mouth either way.

Or what? A rat is a rat, after all the poster below suggested any rodent recipes will work.

No, you can solve the problem by yourselves:

Do the people in the US eat rodents?

Answer (1 of 12): Some people in Louisiana eat Nutria, also called Coypu, a rodent introduced vía the fur trade. They are native to the southern half of South America and are quite destructive. In some areas, mostly in the southern US, people eat squirrel, which is a rodent. It tends to be gamy a...

And we will. Our problems are for us to solve, surely. Now whether it involves a new business opportunity as I mentioned above or not is yet to be seen.

Thanks to the vigorous and barf-worthy rat consumption topic here enriched with copious videos and images, I have now permanently lost my dinner appetite. The posts keep getting grosser and grosser.

Keep this up - this may serve as a perfect weight loss trick.

I'm outta here!

May be you want to try some spicy dum fuk choi sauce to help the recipe?

No sauce will help. Main ingredient is the culprit....

No, you just have to find the right Chinese recipe for it that works for your taste buds.

Gotham city posters may answer your call. I'm on the left coast, 3000 miles out.

$200,000 won't buy you much, I'm afraid. Even in the west, a small 600 sqft. apt. will cost you on avg. $600,000 nowadays.

New York is not America’s rattiest city​

By Ben Cost

The Big Apple is not America’s No. 1 ratropolis.

Despite being rife with more rodents than “Ratatouille,” New York City is not the most rat-infested city in the US. That title actually belongs to Chicago, according to a survey by extermination firm Orkin on the rattiest cities in America in 2022.

The study is released every fall, when “rice and other rodents invade an estimated 21 million homes in the United States.” To gauge the most rodentified regions this year, the pest control company ranked 50 cities “by the number of both residential and commercial rodent treatments performed from Sept. 1, 2021, to Aug. 31, 2022.”

Orkin found that Chicago topped the list for the eighth year in a row, perhaps evidence enough that the Windy City might want to change its name to the “Ratty City.” Meanwhile, NYC — home of Pizza Rat and other rodent celebs — weighed in as America’s second rattiest city in 2022, swapping spots with Los Angeles, which fell to the third spot in the rat-plague pantheon.

Following close behind was Washington, DC — the site of the notorious Popeye’s rat infestation of November 2021 — along with San Francisco and Philadelphia, respectively.

The most “improved” player in the realm of rat infestation was South Bend, Indiana, which scurried up a whopping 21 spots since last year.

We’ve included the full list below:

Rats have no place in this city.

But they definitely have a place in the white house.

We need to have the proper marketing campaign to divert Chinese tourists to those places where they can do the most good to help solve this problem!

Every country has its own traditions or practice that look weird or disgusting to the outsiders, but I don't see Chinese members laughing at yours.

Ah yes, the hundreds of Chinese recipes for cooking and eating rats speak for themselves. Of course having Chinese tourists help USA with the problem highlighted in this thread will be a win-win for both countries.

Some weird local delicacy won't have any impact on its nation building, other practice may have much more profound effect. Go figure.

Let us start with the basics and have the Chinese tourists help NYC with its rat problem. The rest can follow.
