Can someone explain all the of possums these past few days? And, while I'm on the subject...
Car hitting possum memes: No. :(..
Cowboy possum memes: YES! :D
Possums are like the common internet gremlin's spirit animal: awkward, eats garbage, plays dead when someone attempts to socialize, generally nocturnal, not a huge fan of cars, etc. This makes them inherently relatable, but also cute enough and distant enough to be a good candidate for a meme.
and although they make a bluster and seem scary, they are not into biting you or ruining your day. They don't spread disease and they eat all the types of bugs people hate.
