Artist trained rats to take selfies to make a point about social media | CBC Radio

After the rats were trained to push the level for sugar, Lignier changed the experiment’s parameters. Sometimes taking a picture would yield a piece of sugar, and sometimes would not.

Nevertheless, the rats kept on jamming the button, taking dozens of selfies. After awhile, he says they largely stopped bothering to eat the sugar, even when it came out.
