Holy shit, it's the same in Polish! Just realised it. It's funny actually, it's

permalinkparent
[ ]Blizzaldo 5 points 3 hours ago
They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth
ing. It increases the sensitivity in their hands. They did used to think it may
be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

[ ]Mrnoone696 3 points 2 hours ago
Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas
e the nerve responsiveness in their paws, so they have more information about wh
at they're eating. It's beneficial to them because they don't have great vision.

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean
ing "before-dog washer", with lotor Latin for "washer" and Procyon Latinized Gre
ek from p??-, "before" and ????, "dog".

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

The pads on their paws are more sensitive when they're wet, so they wash their f
ood as part of the inspection process.

Would he have ever been able to eat it? I mean, say they were like "Ohh poor guy

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."
permalinkparent
[ ]Re4pr 10 points 4 hours ago
this is interesting. Probably the underlying factor here
permalinkparent
[ ]snorking 18 points 4 hours ago
must have blown his little raccoon mind to have something in his hands that he c
ould feel when it was dry, but, instead of gathering more information when it wa
s wet, the thing just fucking dissapears.

Fuzzy germaphobes?
I know you're joking, but research had shown raccoons generally go through the s
imilar hand motions when they wash their food and when they do not, leading rese
archers to believe it's actually not really related to sanitation.
permalinkparent
[ ]stakoverflo 6 points 5 hours ago
Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

re is no ordinary racoon - or any other animal - recognized in Poland as just "s
zop", though.

They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth

be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago

The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec

In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara

while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."
permalinkparent
[ ]Re4pr 10 points 4 hours ago
this is interesting. Probably the underlying factor here
permalinkparent
[ ]snorking 18 points 4 hours ago
must have blown his little raccoon mind to have something in his hands that he c
ould feel when it was dry, but, instead of gathering more information when it wa
s wet, the thing just fucking dissapears.

Lots of theories.. it used to be accepted that they didn't have salivary glands,
but recent research shows that they do.
No one is really sure, some type of evolutionary bring-over maybe? Fuzzy germaph

Fuzzy germaphobes?
I know you're joking, but research had shown raccoons generally go through the s
imilar hand motions when they wash their food and when they do not, leading rese
archers to believe it's actually not really related to sanitation.
permalinkparent
[ ]stakoverflo 6 points 5 hours ago
Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

I'm not sure why they do it. But I heard a guy tried to get rid of raccoons near
his place by putting shards of glass in their food. But when they went to wash
it before eating it, their hands got cut up so they realized something was wrong
with it

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is

something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.
Source: I just watched a documentary about them on Netflix.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean
ing "before-dog washer", with lotor Latin for "washer" and Procyon Latinized Gre

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."

[ ]Blizzaldo 5 points 3 hours ago
They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth

be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas

at they're eating. It's beneficial to them because they don't have great vision.

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n

ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean
ing "before-dog washer", with lotor Latin for "washer" and Procyon Latinized Gre

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

part of their scientific name, Procyon lotor, after observations of them dousing
their food. "Lotor" is neo-latin for "washer".

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."

They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth

be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas

The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

Would he have ever been able to eat it? I mean, say they were like "Ohh poor guy

e.) Would he be all like "Ohh, I have to wash this!" or would he be more along t
he lines of "I remember this, if I wash it, I won't get to eat it"? How many tim
es do you imagine it might take before it learned that washing that particular f
ood made it disappear?

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."
permalinkparent
[ ]Re4pr 10 points 4 hours ago
this is interesting. Probably the underlying factor here
permalinkparent
[ ]snorking 18 points 4 hours ago
must have blown his little raccoon mind to have something in his hands that he c
ould feel when it was dry, but, instead of gathering more information when it wa
s wet, the thing just fucking dissapears.

Fuzzy germaphobes?
I know you're joking, but research had shown raccoons generally go through the s
imilar hand motions when they wash their food and when they do not, leading rese
archers to believe it's actually not really related to sanitation.
permalinkparent
[ ]stakoverflo 6 points 5 hours ago
Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

I'm not sure why they do it. But I heard a guy tried to get rid of raccoons near

They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.
Source: I just watched a documentary about them on Netflix.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."

a massive realisation by (in this case) the raccoon species that will act as a
catalyst for evolutionary progress.

[ ]Blizzaldo 5 points 3 hours ago
They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth
ing. It increases the sensitivity in their hands. They did used to think it may
be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

[ ]Mrnoone696 3 points 2 hours ago
Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas
e the nerve responsiveness in their paws, so they have more information about wh
at they're eating. It's beneficial to them because they don't have great vision.

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

football stadium to ride along the top like some daredevils. About halfway up t
he stairs, we encountered a raccoon. We froze, he froze. My buddy asks "What sho

uld we do?" Me, being about 15 years old, decided trying to scare it away. I scr
eamed really loud and ran up a few stairs. The raccoon stood its ground and hiss
ed at us, and we turned and ran like the devil was after us with his dick out. W
e never found out what happened to those bikes.

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.
Source: I just watched a documentary about them on Netflix.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean
ing "before-dog washer", with lotor Latin for "washer" and Procyon Latinized Gre
ek from p??-, "before" and ????, "dog".
I suspect this is the root of it in many languages.

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying

on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

They produce saliva but nowhere near enough to soften food. They got the latter

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."

Holy shit, it's the same in Polish! Just realised it. It's funny actually, it's

permalinkparent
[ ]Blizzaldo 5 points 3 hours ago
They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth
ing. It increases the sensitivity in their hands. They did used to think it may
be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

[ ]Mrnoone696 3 points 2 hours ago
Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas
e the nerve responsiveness in their paws, so they have more information about wh
at they're eating. It's beneficial to them because they don't have great vision.

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o

n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

Would he have ever been able to eat it? I mean, say they were like "Ohh poor guy

he lines of "I remember this, if I wash it, I won't get to eat it"? How many tim
es do you imagine it might take before it learned that washing that particular f

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."
permalinkparent
[ ]Re4pr 10 points 4 hours ago
this is interesting. Probably the underlying factor here
permalinkparent
[ ]snorking 18 points 4 hours ago
must have blown his little raccoon mind to have something in his hands that he c
ould feel when it was dry, but, instead of gathering more information when it wa
s wet, the thing just fucking dissapears.

Fuzzy germaphobes?
I know you're joking, but research had shown raccoons generally go through the s
imilar hand motions when they wash their food and when they do not, leading rese
archers to believe it's actually not really related to sanitation.
permalinkparent
[ ]stakoverflo 6 points 5 hours ago
Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

I'm not sure why they do it. But I heard a guy tried to get rid of raccoons near

[ ]Blizzaldo 5 points 3 hours ago
They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth
ing. It increases the sensitivity in their hands. They did used to think it may
be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas
e the nerve responsiveness in their paws, so they have more information about wh
at they're eating. It's beneficial to them because they don't have great vision.

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed

to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."

permalinkparent
[ ]snorking 18 points 4 hours ago
must have blown his little raccoon mind to have something in his hands that he c
ould feel when it was dry, but, instead of gathering more information when it wa
s wet, the thing just fucking dissapears.

Lots of theories.. it used to be accepted that they didn't have salivary glands,
but recent research shows that they do.
No one is really sure, some type of evolutionary bring-over maybe? Fuzzy germaph
obes?

Fuzzy germaphobes?
I know you're joking, but research had shown raccoons generally go through the s
imilar hand motions when they wash their food and when they do not, leading rese
archers to believe it's actually not really related to sanitation.
permalinkparent
[ ]stakoverflo 6 points 5 hours ago
Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

I'm not sure why they do it. But I heard a guy tried to get rid of raccoons near
his place by putting shards of glass in their food. But when they went to wash
it before eating it, their hands got cut up so they realized something was wrong
with it

They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas

Wait, what? How does one get in trouble for being quiet? How does that conversat
ion even go? "Your child is too quiet. They need to be louder so I can yell at t
hem as I do at all of the loud kids."
permalinkparent
[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

From my experience, it was more of a 'We're concerned your child doesn't underst

My mother was a patient woman, but when the teachers asked my dad to come, he st

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.
Source: I just watched a documentary about them on Netflix.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean
ing "before-dog washer", with lotor Latin for "washer" and Procyon Latinized Gre

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.

"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."

[ ]Blizzaldo 5 points 3 hours ago
They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth

be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas
e the nerve responsiveness in their paws, so they have more information about wh
at they're eating. It's beneficial to them because they don't have great vision.

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other

words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."

permalinkparent

Holy shit, it's the same in Polish! Just realised it. It's funny actually, it's

[ ]Blizzaldo 5 points 3 hours ago
They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth

be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas
e the nerve responsiveness in their paws, so they have more information about wh
at they're eating. It's beneficial to them because they don't have great vision.

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

I wonder if you gave it to him again, would he keep trying to wash it? I'd wager

Would he have ever been able to eat it? I mean, say they were like "Ohh poor guy
, give him some more" (Okay, that was my first thought.. This sight has ruined m
e.) Would he be all like "Ohh, I have to wash this!" or would he be more along t
he lines of "I remember this, if I wash it, I won't get to eat it"? How many tim
es do you imagine it might take before it learned that washing that particular f
ood made it disappear?

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."
permalinkparent
[ ]Re4pr 10 points 4 hours ago
this is interesting. Probably the underlying factor here
permalinkparent

[ ]snorking 18 points 4 hours ago

must have blown his little raccoon mind to have something in his hands that he c
ould feel when it was dry, but, instead of gathering more information when it wa
s wet, the thing just fucking dissapears.

Fuzzy germaphobes?
I know you're joking, but research had shown raccoons generally go through the s
imilar hand motions when they wash their food and when they do not, leading rese
archers to believe it's actually not really related to sanitation.
permalinkparent
[ ]stakoverflo 6 points 5 hours ago
Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

I'm not sure why they do it. But I heard a guy tried to get rid of raccoons near

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.
Source: I just watched a documentary about them on Netflix.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."

[ ]Blizzaldo 5 points 3 hours ago
They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth
ing. It increases the sensitivity in their hands. They did used to think it may
be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas
e the nerve responsiveness in their paws, so they have more information about wh
at they're eating. It's beneficial to them because they don't have great vision.

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago

The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.
Source: I just watched a documentary about them on Netflix.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean
ing "before-dog washer", with lotor Latin for "washer" and Procyon Latinized Gre
ek from p??-, "before" and ????, "dog".
I suspect this is the root of it in many languages.

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

IIRC they don't have saliva, so they have to wet their food before they eat it.

They produce saliva but nowhere near enough to soften food. They got the latter
part of their scientific name, Procyon lotor, after observations of them dousing
their food. "Lotor" is neo-latin for "washer".

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."

Holy shit, it's the same in Polish! Just realised it. It's funny actually, it's

They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth

be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas

at they're eating. It's beneficial to them because they don't have great vision.

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is

something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

Would he have ever been able to eat it? I mean, say they were like "Ohh poor guy

he lines of "I remember this, if I wash it, I won't get to eat it"? How many tim
es do you imagine it might take before it learned that washing that particular f
ood made it disappear?

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."
permalinkparent
[ ]Re4pr 10 points 4 hours ago
this is interesting. Probably the underlying factor here
permalinkparent
[ ]snorking 18 points 4 hours ago
must have blown his little raccoon mind to have something in his hands that he c
ould feel when it was dry, but, instead of gathering more information when it wa
s wet, the thing just fucking dissapears.

Fuzzy germaphobes?

I know you're joking, but research had shown raccoons generally go through the s
imilar hand motions when they wash their food and when they do not, leading rese
archers to believe it's actually not really related to sanitation.
permalinkparent
[ ]stakoverflo 6 points 5 hours ago
Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

I'm not sure why they do it. But I heard a guy tried to get rid of raccoons near

They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth
ing. It increases the sensitivity in their hands. They did used to think it may
be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas
e the nerve responsiveness in their paws, so they have more information about wh
at they're eating. It's beneficial to them because they don't have great vision.

The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec

In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara

while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."

Lots of theories.. it used to be accepted that they didn't have salivary glands,
but recent research shows that they do.
No one is really sure, some type of evolutionary bring-over maybe? Fuzzy germaph

Fuzzy germaphobes?
I know you're joking, but research had shown raccoons generally go through the s
imilar hand motions when they wash their food and when they do not, leading rese
archers to believe it's actually not really related to sanitation.
permalinkparent
[ ]stakoverflo 6 points 5 hours ago

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.

Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

I'm not sure why they do it. But I heard a guy tried to get rid of raccoons near
his place by putting shards of glass in their food. But when they went to wash
it before eating it, their hands got cut up so they realized something was wrong
with it

They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas

The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu
ite a couple of them here.

My friend and I were carrying our bikes up some stairs at the Harvard (American)
football stadium to ride along the top like some daredevils. About halfway up t
he stairs, we encountered a raccoon. We froze, he froze. My buddy asks "What sho
uld we do?" Me, being about 15 years old, decided trying to scare it away. I scr
eamed really loud and ran up a few stairs. The raccoon stood its ground and hiss
ed at us, and we turned and ran like the devil was after us with his dick out. W
e never found out what happened to those bikes.

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.
Source: I just watched a documentary about them on Netflix.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean
ing "before-dog washer", with lotor Latin for "washer" and Procyon Latinized Gre

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."

Holy shit, it's the same in Polish! Just realised it. It's funny actually, it's

permalinkparent
[ ]Blizzaldo 5 points 3 hours ago
They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth
ing. It increases the sensitivity in their hands. They did used to think it may
be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

[ ]Mrnoone696 3 points 2 hours ago
Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas
e the nerve responsiveness in their paws, so they have more information about wh
at they're eating. It's beneficial to them because they don't have great vision.

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean
ing "before-dog washer", with lotor Latin for "washer" and Procyon Latinized Gre

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

The pads on their paws are more sensitive when they're wet, so they wash their f

Would he have ever been able to eat it? I mean, say they were like "Ohh poor guy

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."
permalinkparent
[ ]Re4pr 10 points 4 hours ago
this is interesting. Probably the underlying factor here
permalinkparent
[ ]snorking 18 points 4 hours ago
must have blown his little raccoon mind to have something in his hands that he c

They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth

be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas

The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec

In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara

while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying

on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

Would he have ever been able to eat it? I mean, say they were like "Ohh poor guy
, give him some more" (Okay, that was my first thought.. This sight has ruined m
e.) Would he be all like "Ohh, I have to wash this!" or would he be more along t
he lines of "I remember this, if I wash it, I won't get to eat it"? How many tim

es do you imagine it might take before it learned that washing that particular f

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."
permalinkparent
[ ]Re4pr 10 points 4 hours ago
this is interesting. Probably the underlying factor here
permalinkparent
[ ]snorking 18 points 4 hours ago
must have blown his little raccoon mind to have something in his hands that he c
ould feel when it was dry, but, instead of gathering more information when it wa
s wet, the thing just fucking dissapears.

Fuzzy germaphobes?
I know you're joking, but research had shown raccoons generally go through the s
imilar hand motions when they wash their food and when they do not, leading rese
archers to believe it's actually not really related to sanitation.
permalinkparent
[ ]stakoverflo 6 points 5 hours ago
Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

I'm not sure why they do it. But I heard a guy tried to get rid of raccoons near
his place by putting shards of glass in their food. But when they went to wash
it before eating it, their hands got cut up so they realized something was wrong

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.
Source: I just watched a documentary about them on Netflix.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o

n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."

[ ]Blizzaldo 5 points 3 hours ago
They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth
ing. It increases the sensitivity in their hands. They did used to think it may
be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

[ ]Mrnoone696 3 points 2 hours ago
Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas
e the nerve responsiveness in their paws, so they have more information about wh
at they're eating. It's beneficial to them because they don't have great vision.

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean
ing "before-dog washer", with lotor Latin for "washer" and Procyon Latinized Gre
ek from p??-, "before" and ????, "dog".
I suspect this is the root of it in many languages.

Another fun fact: Germany didn't have racoons until the um... German regime of W

It turned out to be disastrous to the ecosystem.

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

IIRC they don't have saliva, so they have to wet their food before they eat it.
permalinkparent
[ ]kirkum2020 76 points 5 hours ago
They produce saliva but nowhere near enough to soften food. They got the latter
part of their scientific name, Procyon lotor, after observations of them dousing
their food. "Lotor" is neo-latin for "washer".

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed

to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...

permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.
"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."

[ ]Blizzaldo 5 points 3 hours ago
They just like to wash their hands, regardless of whether they're holding someth

be done because racoons didn't have enough saliva, but that's not true.

Recent studies indicate that it's not necessarily to wash things, but to increas
e the nerve responsiveness in their paws, so they have more information about wh
at they're eating. It's beneficial to them because they don't have great vision.

[ ]poopcornkernels 31 points 2 hours ago
The teachers aren't actually mad at you for being quiet. They're usually concern
ed about your EQ or personal development and being exceptionally quiet in class
could be indicators of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
There's nothing wrong with being a quiet and/or introverted person but there is
something "wrong" with being reclusive or afraid to speak. Teachers that are gen
uinely looking out for this and other developmental disorders are trying to make
the rest of your life a lot better/easier.

I once ran into a group of racoons (about 6 or more) in the middle of the night
in Berlin, Germany. I just stopped because they were on the path right in front
of me and sort of blocked my way. I looked at them and they just looked back at
me for like 20 - 30 seconds, and then they just moved on.
I was mostly unsure what to do since they were in such a large group and I was n
ot sure if they are actually aggressive animals or not, but apparently they do n
ot really look for conflicts and mostly mind their own business. But yeah, was n
ot really aware they live in big cities here either, but apparently there are qu

They were fun to hunt by certain wealthy people. They would be set loose and rec
overed on the hunt. However some escaped and multiplied.
In Japan they were very popular because of a cartoon series where the main chara
cter had one as a pet and then set it free in at the end of the show. So after a
while the people who took in raccoons as pets set them free.

From wikipedia: The raccoon's scientific name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, mean

I remember driving at night with a couple friends down the street from my house
when suddenly a raccoon appeared out of nowhere and the thud was instantly felt.
With all of us screaming, the driver pulled the e-brake and whipped the wheel s
o we ended up pulling a near 180 with the headlights focused on a raccoon laying
on its back twitching. We sat there in the car lamenting what just had happened
. We named the poor raccoon Bob. We imagined how Bob was probably just trying to
return to his coon wife and coon kids for a late trash can dinner. Then silence
covered us all while we imagined the gurgling sounds he was obviously making 20
feet in front of us when I had an abrupt epiphany, "Wait. No! He was probably o
n his way to my house to kill my cat, Nabisco! Fuck Bob!" "Yeah! Fuck Bob!" my f
riends cried in unison as the driver speedily turned around, peeled out, and dro
ve off.
Thus concludes the tale of Bob. May we never forget his twitching.

Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

It doesn't always dissolve instantly, I find. It kind of breaks down, clumps tog
ether and then breaks down the rest of the way, I think.

Would he have ever been able to eat it? I mean, say they were like "Ohh poor guy

e.) Would he be all like "Ohh, I have to wash this!" or would he be more along t
he lines of "I remember this, if I wash it, I won't get to eat it"? How many tim
es do you imagine it might take before it learned that washing that particular f
ood made it disappear?

Why do racoons wash their food? Just wash your hands before...
permalink
[ ]smartzie 38 points 5 hours ago
Raccoons have incredibly sensitive hands. So sensitive that they use them to "se
e" the world around them. It's why they're always touching everything. Their sen
se of touch is as important as sight or smell to them.

"There s a myth that raccoons wash their food. But what they re doing when they wet
and rub an object is seeing it; it s thought that water contact increases a raccoon s
tactile ability. When a raccoon wets and handles a crayfish, stone, worm, or cla
m, he s gathering information: nearly two thirds of the sensory data that he s proce
ssing comes from cells that interpret various types of touch sensation. In other
words, touch is as important a sense as hearing, smell, and sight."
permalinkparent
[ ]Re4pr 10 points 4 hours ago
this is interesting. Probably the underlying factor here
permalinkparent
[ ]snorking 18 points 4 hours ago
must have blown his little raccoon mind to have something in his hands that he c
ould feel when it was dry, but, instead of gathering more information when it wa
s wet, the thing just fucking dissapears.

Fuzzy germaphobes?
I know you're joking, but research had shown raccoons generally go through the s
imilar hand motions when they wash their food and when they do not, leading rese
archers to believe it's actually not really related to sanitation.
permalinkparent
[ ]stakoverflo 6 points 5 hours ago
Close, but doesn't quite seem to be the case.
Initially, scientists conjectured that raccoons lacked saliva glands and needed
to add moisture, making it easier for them to eat [source: Zeveloff]. Instead, s
tudy results indicate that the behavior enhances the tactile experience involved
with eating.

I'm not sure why they do it. But I heard a guy tried to get rid of raccoons near
