dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

My indoor cat escaped one time(he's fine) so I set food out and aimed a cheap ip camera at it hoping to see him. One night I saw something on it, and when I got out there I had cornered an opossum. It was frozen completely still with it teeth bared and froth in its mouth. It was pretty freaky looking.

Did it hiss? screm-a aaaa

They're all bark and no bite. Their signature fighting move is to play dead until you lose interest.

It might have hissed before I got outside, but I didn't hear it. It tried to run away from the direction I was coming from and got stuck in the corner between a fence and my garage.

I used to think that move was a silly adaptation until I saw it in person. I think opossums are absolute cuties, but this one was pretty freaky looking, I get why it works now.
