a raccoon tries to catch falling snow
This is fun. My raccoon video is doing the rounds on various sites. Looks like it was posted first by David Pescovitz on @[email protected] then Laughing Squid, then PetaPixel⦠https://boingboing.net/2022/12/28/cute-raccoon-attempts-to-catch-falling-snow-video.html
Hah, OK so apparently it was on @metafilter a few days before BoingBoing. Some of the comments on there are quite the wild ride. π https://www.metafilter.com/197703/27-second-youtube
Scott Willsey@The_Tim @metafilter of course some guy had to make it all about him instead of the raccoons, but welcome to the internet, I guess.
Wow, this is now officially my most popular video to date. In one month it racked up more views than "Awesome Electrical 'Improvement'" has in nearly 12 years.
em dee (they/them)@The_Tim this gets my vote for first Mastodon video to go viral. If that's a thing. Adorable lil bandit π

Julie@The_Tim This is the best. Thanks for posting the YouTube too!
Cowgirlcoder@The_Tim Nice greenhouse! More organized than mine. Every year I say Iβm done adding pots. And every year, I ignore myself. :-) Coons are weird. My locals are fascinated by the pond.

Cardboard Robot@The_Tim Speaking as a human, not some weird animal, this is totally different in every way from me playing Galaga.
fhaedra@The_Tim Well, my thanks for that little beat of levity! Such a playful little masked bandit and definitely a pleasure to watch. ππͺΆ
Tim Ellis (he/him) DJDynamicNC@The_Tim Immediately liked this content, obviously, but then did a double-take when I realized it was posted *by me* lol

Pippa Holloway@The_Tim That is awesome.
Paul Carpenter πΎ@The_Tim Your raccoon experience is far superior to mine. The pack that goes through my yard every night general fight each other or poop on the waterfall rocks of my pool.
