I've been browsing all and in between news and memes it's been opossums. I absolutely love this platform and algorithm. It's like my Instagram account merged with my reddit account. Raccoons and opossums deserve more love🖤
- Raccoons deserve marshmallows too
There's also !possums@possumpat.io .

Or at least I think there is. I still don't know the difference between an opossum and a possum.
- Opossums (usually pronounced as ‘possum but the o actually isn’t silent) are the marsupials that live in the Americas, the most familiar of which being the Virginia opossum. Possums live in Australia.
- Oh, I can tell ya.
  
  Opossum...possum
  
  Potato...tater
  
  Same thing, just word play. One is official. You wouldn't expect to see a discussion of taters in a science journal, but you could be asked to bring tater salad to the cookout.
Are you proposing an alliance?
- I'l be hitting up the skunk community next. Skunks, opossums, and raccoons. Let's fucking gooooo.
  
  LFG!!!!! Lets do this alliance!!
A community for opossums?
