Taeke posted:Wasps get into your personal space a bit too much but on the plus side they look loving awesome so I'm generally not too bothered. Just chill and gently fan/move them away so they don't feel threatened and they'll move on. They'll only sting you if you're panicking and aggressive but like, if a giant started jumping around trying to kill me I wouldn't be too kind either so I can't blame them. They're like gently caress you, you got all this good stuff and won't miss the tiny amount I need so just let me have some of it and I'm like, yeah, fair actually, and I know I'm a giant threat so lemme just be a bit mindful of that and not make you feel like you're in danger. like I let this invasive european hornet, crawl all over my hand and it was very chill and inquisitive and not hostile and let me gently let it go by poking it off my hand outside the window  meanwhile I have had countless stings from yellowjackets out of nowhere because they are just aggro little shitheads at all times Captain Hygiene posted:I was confused for a second why people weren't naturally repulsed enough by possums to stay away from them at all costs, then I remembered Australia inexplicably got the adorable version and we got stuck with the dumb garbage ones

Australian possums are sweet and gentle like little furry big eyed angels, too beautiful for this world. New Zealand possums are huge and stupid and eat the eggs of all our birds and make an urrrrhhhhhhhhhh noise like an 80yo guy named Derek who still smokes a pack a day and one of them used to hang by his tail outside our living room window and watch shorty street with a look of pure pig ignorant malice on his dumb fat face

There's no way an animal that can hang from its tail is all bad. I refuse to believe it, in fact.

i used to be weirded out by US possums until one night when i was lazily walking a trash bag out to my garbage can and i spotted a possum lazily walking in the direction of the trash can. i stopped in place for like 45 seconds and stared at him and he did the same. then i started backing up and he turned around and walked away from the can same as me.

I've had possums stare me down while coming home at night. It's like, I'm in a 3000lb vehicle, you will not win this...okay, I'll go around you, whatever.

Hihohe posted:Possums fall asleep when faced with adversity and thats inspiring to me The sum total of their defensive strategies is pretty much: 1. Hiss 2. Collapse They can bite, obviously. But a lot of the time they just... don't. They are extremely strange and awkward, and not really good at anything, which is pretty relatable. They also apparently resent skunks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_tL5R8lIL0

We have opossums in the area and one night I opened the back door and smacked one right in the face. It didn't hiss, it didn't play dead, it just shook it off and walked away. It didn't even run. I felt lowkey insulted by that
