On top of that, they boast a great sense of smell, decent vision, and the ability to ‘see’ using their hands. That way, they can get up to all sorts of mischief at night when people and other animals are busy getting some well-deserved shut-eye. Unlike many other species of animal, raccoons can easily grasp objects, open screen doors and trash cans, grab fish from ponds, climb in through open windows, climb fences and drainpipes. Naturally, all of the memes that get shared by the curator of the account feature raccoons. There’s a very clear sense of visual unity in these posts. Many of the memes are extremely colorful, feature very unusual fonts, and have bizarre images of raccoons in weird poses and making funny faces. When you create content that contrasts what’s already popular, you can’t help but grab people’s attention. When your audience is bombarded with so much information every day, you want to make it easier for them to get what’s happening in your meme. (That being said, it bodes repeating that if everyone’s making pristine-looking content, your memes can end up getting lost in the crowd because of a similar aesthetic.) What raccoon memes have going for them is that all of the descriptions are incredibly short and instantly connect with the reader. And any truly relatable meme is a meme that’ll go viral. You don’t necessarily need raccoons and humor for that, but they certainly don’t hurt to have in your corner! According to the founder of the ‘Raccooncore’ project, many people relate to raccoons, which is why they love them. “They’re like a cross between a dog and a monkey with added mischief. They do crime, they stay up late and they like to wash things in their tiny hands,” they said. And most importantly, if you were a raccoon, what kind of mischief would you get up to? We’d love to hear all of your raccoon-related opinions, so take a break from school, work, and chores, and swing by the comments at the bottom of this post. Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
