A collapsing neutron star.
Oh and maybe that Surströmming smelly fish stuff
They'd eat those, too.
maybe that Surströmming smelly fish stuff
I don't know about that; given some of the things raccoons eat they might take it gladly and ask for seconds. 🤔️
I googled it and now I want to eat it.
What does a neutron star taste like?
Like batteries
Tasty
Haven't tasted yet.
Which came first, the trash panda or the trash can? 🤔
The trash can came first. But the raccoon immediately recognized its true purpose. 😂
Why else would they evolve masks? Those sneaky lil buggers
What do raccoons eat, or what should raccoons eat?
Erm, actually. They eat trash.
Also marshmallows, particularly if you leave a bag outside to go grab your graham crackers from the truck
Fruits are treats, they should be having much more veggies, and you need more protein/meat.
Who me?
Yes. (Assuming you're also an omnivore.)
Also the raccoons.
We were camping with some friends once, and it was raining, so we were all in our trailer, playing cards. We heard a noise outside, and looked at their campsite to see that raccoons had broken into their food box. The coons were all standing in a line, and the one in the front would grab something and head for the woods.
We were yelling at them, but they ignored us, and kept looting the box. I was particularly unhappy when one stole an entire double layer chocolate cake, my favorite, and dragged it into the woods.
The coons had an epic feast that night. It's probably part of coon lore, and they probably still talk about it, and pass the story down to young coons.
One single uncooked Impossible breakfast sausage.
Cat food, after somehow opening the chip-reading cat door from the outside.
Trash pandas.
All the above, plus crayfish
And Twinkies.
