I don’t even know who this shit is for. I see the censored memes far more on lemmy than I do any other social media platform. Is this all coming from facebook? Because they themselves are often screenshots of content from tumblr or twitter
TikTok is notoriously very strict with censorship, and that leaked into Instagram and Facebook even though they are a bit more lenient.

Unrelated, but has anyone lost a fucked up dog? It's really aggressive and doesn't answer to any name:
Plot twist: she knew and didn't care. "Its a doggish canine social enough to accepts the pets, a couple rabies shots and its good enough for me."

We had a Shiba Inu-mutt named Konoha (rip girlie!) that legit looked like a smaller coyote. This could actually be a larger version of her.
Made me smile!

extra long skinny snout, might be an anteater. if you can get an anteater to use a toilet, that's a friend.
That's one fucking nice kitty right there!
What show is this?
Trailer park boys
Ok, I figured. Maybe I'll finally check it out.
Clear your schedule.
Looks like Trailerpark Boys
Raccoons are very friendly…
Urban raccoons are starting to figure out that being friendly means snacks
so are we looking at 30 years tops for common domestication?
If they are ever domesticated they are gonna be annoying as pets since they literally have hands. They will be able to open anything you can open.
AFAIK raccoons are already manageable pets up until they hit puberty. Then they get batshit crazy and feral, and it's best to let them go, so all in all it's not worth it. However, while I'm not sure it's a perfect analogy, but there was a domestication experiment spanning over several decades with foxes, and it's still ongoing. Those particular foxes are somewhat more domesticated, but still utterly loud, kept in kennels, they still piss everywhere, etc. - and raccoons aren't even halfway there.
the raccoon build is still minmaxxing interaction/loot, who domesticates who is still waged

except when they go full spider-monkey on your ass when you're taking out the garbage and they jump out of your bin at mach 10 as they screech their battle cry inches from your face. Based on a true story.

Maybe even too friendly.
… you think maybe it’s because they want snacks?
My grandpa had a pet racoon way back in the day. He said it was a good pet except it was incapable of managing its mischief and tearing stuff up to see if anything good was inside.
I was friends with a young raccoon that was being rehabbed by a family friend. The lil dude was already imprinted on people so he couldn't be released into the wild. He and I could match each other's energy and we'd get into so much trouble together. Then he grew up and got fat and lazy. I was very disappointed because he was no longer an agent of chaos and I was.
raccoons make great friends but terrible pets. their shit is full of pathogens harmful to humans. smart compared to skunks, same story. adorable friends, destructive little ninjas when you're not paying attention.
I'm reminded of the movie Long Way North where a heavily-accented sailor tells a girl about a dog that lives on the ship: "He is punished. He chews the rigging and steals."
The only close interaction I've ever had with a raccoon was when one perched on a fence post and was hissing and swiping at my dog, who was going apeshit. So yeah I can see how someone might confuse them for weird cats.
Probably fake story but it’s more likely to domesticate an opossum over a raccoon. Maybe story over the decades changed the animal because human story telling results in many fabrications and hallucination of details.
Adult raccoons are vicious and territorial cunts. Well at least the one I encountered anyways
I've got family that is on their third pet raccoon. I'm not sure where the last two came from but the first was a baby when they got it. They cut down a tree that had a family of raccoons in it and that one survived so they just... Kept it.
It was very entertaining but could be an asshole when in heat.
O, and I worked with a lady that had one too. Apparently they can survive a massive opiate overdose because it ate an entire bottle of painkillers (oxys? Hydros? I forget) while she was at work one day. She said it was stiff like rigor mortis for about 36 hours then eventually just got up and continued on like nothing had happened.
Apparently it isn't that difficult to semi domesticate racoons if you feed them. Like they won't cuddle on your lap or anything but they also won't attack you and might tolerate a boop or scritch.
my dad had two families of them visit him daily. he got them to do simple tricks for food and they would tap his leg to wake him up when he was asleep on the porch. as long as each family showed up at different times they were peaceful but they would otherwise fight amd one also killed and presumably ate a squirrel.
Anything territorial with a social structure (wolves, horses & boars being great examples of successful domestications, otters and falcons for in-progress domestications and foxes and raccoons good candidates) are prime domestication material as the human can become the social leader and they won't be as inclined to leave what is their pack's territory
That said, it takes thousands of years to fully domesticate something, which is why "semi-domesticated" otters and falcons just sort of help out with hunting without being "friendly" enough to be predictable
