I like to think that is what our distant ancestors looked like; waiting for the dinosaurs to become extinct.

This footage was not recorded in a Costco, is not of a furious unmasked meathead berating and threatening other shoppers, is not the subject of an investigation or likely to lead to disciplinary action and/or charges

I’m not saying these opossums’ nanner-nomming isn’t cute, but I haven’t seen a single person question why the person was recording them in the first place. Don’t we need to understand what led up to this event? /JAQin’

Wasn’t he threatening an old lady first?

From the way they were all looking in the same direction and the open-mouth chewing, it was as if someone had asked them to demonstrate how they chew, and they were like, “okay… watch this.”

I’m concerned about these possums’ communist leanings. One banana slice each?! An equal share for all!? That one was clearly larger and more powerful, therefore should’ve been seen as a banana creator, allowing slices to trickle down to the others on the basis of the amount of effort they were willing to put into pulling on whatever the possum equivalent of bootstraps might be. That would make them all enjoy the bananas much more fully, and ensure a steady supply in the future thanks to the genius and dedication of the banana creator.

Next they’ll be wanting healthcare with dental benefits. Those critters are having a tough go with those bananas.

(Dental plan. Lisa needs braces.)

The content we need, from fruit I’m allergic to. Concessions are made, the cute is undeniable.

Cute, but doesn’t help answer the question of whether they needed the stringy bits removed first.
