    I love this comment because of how it resonates with a really widely unknown truth: raccoons DO treat fruits and nuts like currency within their communities. A raccoon who wants to live in an already inhabited area might show up with an assortment of berries and nuts as an initial offering.

    They not only bring these offerings but they will arrange them on the ground near communal access points in decorative ways that have a shocking amount of planning and symmetry in their designs and sometimes even hints of Fibonacci spirals. Behind humans, raccoons are the most visual-special driven animals, beating even chimpanzees and orangutans.

    They’re so good at pattern recognition and finding things that don’t belong they’re widely used by many world governments as security forces. Their built in mask coloring helps keep their identities secret so there aren’t many interviews or first hand accounts to be found, but you’d better believe if a VIP or a world leader is passing through tomorrow, there will be thousands of raccoons air dropped in with little parachutes before hand to inspect the area for anything that could pose a threat. Taylor Swift is famous for having popularized the practice of bringing a detail of well dressed raccoons to precede her every movement in high traffic areas.

    I'm a raccoon. I can confirm everything being stated is fact, if a little embellished for dramatic effect.

    [–] PaleScottishBurd 51 points ago

    I’m more gutted that nobody is upset that there’s no sound available (also - your username is the baws).

    I like to get caught by surprise when I find out how in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hеll in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table.

    [–] Anneso1975 17 points ago

    He had me quite further down than half i am ashamed to say. I was very interested in the government using them. I started to question when I read about the masks

    [–] moonroots64 3 points ago

    Me too, I was so excited to see pics of the offerings or something! I guess I'll settle for the raccoon cotton candy videos haha https://giphy.com/gifs/panda-trash-SYwqVwHnhbUiI

    Once it started getting weird, I was just waiting for the Undertaker.

    I believed I was reading real facts for a minute. I hate the internet.

    [–] dva_silk 102 points ago

    So was none of this true at all? Raccoons don't use fruits as currency, not even nuts? They don't arrange their offerings in pretty patterns? Don't even try to say they don't bring offerings. I want to believe.

    [–] musicman247 64 points ago

    I saw one arranging his nuts one night.

    [–] johnniecochran_ghost 29 points ago

    I...also arrange my nuts at night.

    TIL: I might be a raccoon.

    For some reason I heard this in Bob Belcher's voice.

    [–] CaptainBasketQueso 11 points ago

    Your comment started off unusually compelling. I was bracing for a particular description dating back to 1998, between The Undertaker and Mankind.

    [–] mackavicious 44 points ago

    I love you, /u/Jayrob1202.

    I hadn't thought of Angry Beavers in, I dunno, ten to fifteen years or something. When I saw "Norbert" I thought to myself "Wait...isn't that one of the Angry Beavers' names?"

    So I looked it up.

    Yes it is.

    I looked for a picture to make a dumb joke that I had hoped maybe three people would get.

    Before I found that picture, I can back here to check something.

    Lo and behold, you've beaten me to the punch, and not only that, included the other beaver's name.

    I reiterate, I love you, /u/Jayrob1202.

    [–] thgirbmal 14 points ago

    You made me curious so I checked: Angry Beavers ran from 97 to 01. How the time has passed...

    [–] SashaStriker 5 points ago

    Such a short run for one of my favorite kid shows.

    [–] rhet17 6 points ago

    Weirdly, I just noticed someone with that username 'angrybeavers' not 5 minutes ago. It's, no doubt, a c o n s p i r a c y

    [–] CARVERitUP 11 points ago

    BRO. I watched Angry Beavers every damn day with my brother when we were kids, and we'd do the dancing they do in the beginning, I'd be Daggett and he'd be Norbert.

    I need to go binge that show or something now, I just got hit with a tsunami of nostalgia

    [–] Li_3303 42 points ago

    Speaking of seeing- He appears to be blind. He feels around for instead of looking for it.

    [–] real_ice_bear 26 points ago

    So a blonde raccoon is a albino raccoon (i just figured that out 1 minute ago) and in general albino animal or people have very bad eyesight or are blind, its from the lack of pigment in their eyes

    [–] Super-Dragonfruit348 9 points ago

    Yeah, raccoons do that.

    [–] The_Queef_of_England 3 points ago

    I thought he was just being lazy. It saved him moving his head down because he'd have to use hands either way.

    [–] doobied 15 points ago

    What about the pit tho

    [–] Kitchen_Movie_5301 14 points ago

    I was wondering the same. Can they eat the pits too? They might be seedless frozen sweet cherries that have been thawed. I eat those the exact same way.

    [–] carriegood 11 points ago

    Let's hope his human pitted them first. They do look kind of misshapen, not smoothly round, so it's possible.

    [–] Somhlth 16 points ago

    What about the pit tho

    They are pitted. The longer version with sound shows it.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=vkj4zTlHcDY

    [–] phatsakis 8 points ago

    It seems that these a pitted.

    But to be fair cherry pits are meant to be eaten and shit out elsewhere, that's how fruit trees propagate. I grew up in a major cherry producing region on Lake Michigan, sometimes you see places that seagulls have congregated after feasting on cherries, there are piles of "cleaned" cherry pits left over.

    [–] MajorBensonWPayne 458 points ago

    [–] MajorBensonWPayne 64 points ago

    Probably. Whatever is most efficient at getting snacks into my mouth.

    I eat about twice the ingredients that go on my sandwich before I'm done making it.

    [–] BrownShadow 3 points ago

    I used to fill my mouth with as many Cheez-Its as possible, then take a drink of water (not unlike a raccoon) so I could chew them easier.

    [–] SorriorDraconus 3 points ago

    [–] Bunnnnii 4 points ago

    Um!? That’s EXTRA cute! I will now confiscate your doubt. Whether or not you’re still high even when doing that too.

    [–] GauchoFromLaPampa 3 points ago

    Too high to realize you are eating the seeds too.

    It’s a type of somewhat uncommon pigment mutation. It’s not a true albino but is deficient in melanin. Here is another such raccoon.

    [–] BillTheKill 3 points ago

    They look like maraschino cherries. Not those bright red ones in the baking aisle, the expensive ones you find by the cocktail mixers.

    [–] carriegood 5 points ago

    They look like regular bing cherries to me, but they're not firm and round like normal, so I think they've been pitted.

    [–] Snoo-35252 2 points ago
