I love this qualia so much because there is no human parallel. Imagine wanting to kill something so badly that it's ecstatically overwhelming.
You can't.
It's like trying to imagine what a mantis shrimp sees.

I don't think I'll ever be able to get over the fact that 80% of autoimmune patients are female, and new research is basically showing us that autoimmunity is connected to suppressed anger and rage

I once got so mad at my mom I used a broomstick and a blanket to pack like this and I distinctly remember deciding one of the few belongings I had to take with me was the Shrek 2 DVD

The Dog Breed That Was Literally a Kitchen Appliance.
For three centuries, every serious kitchen in Britain ran on dog power. The turnspit dog, a short-legged, long-bodied breed officially classified as Canis vertigus, was purpose-bred to sprint inside a wooden wheel mounted on the wall, which turned a chain connected to the roasting spit. First documented in 1576, these animals worked in shifts, running for hours to keep joints of meat rotating evenly over open flames.
They were universally described as ugly. "Long-bodied, crooked-legged and ugly dogs, with a suspicious, unhappy look about them," wrote one naturalist in 1809. The misery was apparently well-founded. Cooks reportedly threw hot coals into the wheel to keep a tired dog running. Kitchens kept them in pairs so each got every other day off, and owners could tell them apart because one always hid on its workday.
On Sundays, the dogs got a reprieve, they were brought to church. Not for salvation, but because they made excellent foot warmers during long sermons. During one service in Bath, the Bishop of Gloucester read from Ezekiel and uttered the phrase "it was then that Ezekiel saw the wheel." Every turnspit dog in the building bolted for the door.
Queen Victoria kept three retired turnspits as pets. But by the mid-1800s, a mechanical device called the clock jack could do the same job without feeding or rest. The breed had no other purpose. Within a generation, every last one was gone. Today, a single stuffed specimen named Whiskey sits in a glass case at Abergavenny Museum in Wales, the only physical proof that an entire breed of dog once existed solely as a living kitchen gadget.
Turns out planned obsolescence has been around a lot longer than the iPhone.

Brain scans are revealing early dementia-like changes in kids and teens from heavy screen use.
60 Minutes Australia reported toddlers spending just 2–3 hours daily on devices already show abnormal white matter development. Teens averaging 6–8 hours display widened brain ridges and thinning in key areas — patterns that mirror early Alzheimer’s.
Excessive screens appear to weaken neural pathways that normally strengthen through real-world movement, play, and face-to-face interaction.
We’re also seeing the first IQ drops in recorded history, plus a nearly 400% rise in early-onset dementia signs among 35–44 year olds. Correlation, not proven causation — but devices are the major new variable.
This is one of those reports that makes you rethink default habits. The convenience of screens is undeniable, but the potential long-term brain impacts on developing kids are hard to ignore.
We may be unintentionally running a massive experiment on the next generation’s cognitive health.
Are we underestimating the risks of heavy screen time, or is this concern overblown?

Now onto the victims. Cockbain's research also shows that the victims of Britain's rape gangs are overwhelmingly White Britons and they are almost never themselves Pakistani.
