Had to upload 2 more pics and a video of her smelling me for them to un-ban my post. Fuck reddit.

well, if he's stuffed, maybe you should stop feeding him so much....

I once shared a screenshot from Good Mythical Morning on r/shittyramen and the post got removed. The moderator accused me of being a bot lmao. The reason? Advertising.

They were using GMM labels to explicitly hide brand names. If I recall correctly it was a bottle of generic, vinegar based hot sauce that triggered this person.

I forget which video it was from but it definitely qualified and I thought it was hilarious. That mod really bummed me out.

Enough blather. Where are the two more pics and the video of the cute fox? I demand more cute fox!

Couldn't upload videos here apparently, this is the best I could do.

[–] FlyingSquid 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sadly, that gave me a 404 error. I will just have to imagine the cuteness.

[–] SwedishFool 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fixed it! :) reuploaded and edited the link, realized WAY too late.

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Awww! It was worth the wait! Such a cutie! How did you get to be friends with him/her?

[–] SwedishFool 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

When I first saw her she just sat there looking at me holding a hotdog, so I threw her half, which CLEARLY wasn't enough since she started to carefully walk towards me while sniffing.. I caught the drift, got down on my knees and put the rest of it about a meter infront of me, she scurried away pretty quickly after snatching it. Next time I met her she was a lot more trusting, eventually around the time I recorded the video she'd occasionally let me pet her for a minute or two (for the exchange of a sausage).

I doubt I was the only one who had given her food though, considering how quickly she trusted me and how close she got even the first time.

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Very cool. Have you ever read Le Petit Prince/The Little Prince? It reminds me of the part where he slowly becomes a fox's friend by getting a little closer to him every day.

[–] SwedishFool 4 points 2 years ago

Oh yes, it's a classic. Funny how that works with basically any animal!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

https://sh.itjust.works/comment/762710 You can post the images directly by putting ! then [] then the link inside (). It looks like you may have done most of that, but you need an exclamation point in front

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Same here. Can't just mention that and then not show it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Yeah OP! Pay the cuteness tax!

Going to need a few more photos for proof here too. Can't be too careful.

Also the video, that sounds ~~adorable~~ like compelling evidence.

It's probably a combination of the lighting and how your phone takes pictures that makes it seem a bit off. A lot of phones these days like the pixel actually do a bit of automatic post-editing the clear up images, but can sometimes make things a bit surreal

Yeah that's probably a good explanation, a gas station generally isn't a super good source of background light.

LOL, I got perma-banned from all of Reddit for mentioning that Elon Musk and his Boring Company made a flamethrower thing!

Yes, I got banned for stating known true facts.

Fuck Reddit and fuck Spez.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh, I got shadow banned from Reddit for helping someone run a large language model on their GPU.

Like I just assumed the user stopped caring until I looked at the post in incognito and my last comment just wasn't there, yet it appears when I log in

So with the third party apps thing, that was the last straw for me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I cannot believe that. Do you have any proof? Could you be mistaken that that comment was the reason?

They're so stupid over there.
Obviously you can't stuff a CGI fox. Come on!

She's wicked cool looking

Reddit is stupid. I just put Lemmy tutorials in the comments. I realize how often you got banned for nothing on Reddit and won't miss it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

She's gorgeous.

I don't miss the mental gymnastics of Reddit at all.

But what does the fox say?

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 8 points 2 years ago

"Chaos reigns."

It's the eyes and lighting making him look fake.

Lol that would be an absolutely astounding taxidermy. Do they not get how photos work?

Even the fox disapproves of that decision.

It's worth asking, though... why do you have a fox? Is it one of those Russian domesticated foxes?

[–] FuglyDuck 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It’s probably a wild fox that has moved into the suburbs and has come to understand people like to feed cute things.

Or it’s an urban fox and OP got their wallet stolen.

[–] SwedishFool 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The only thing she stole was my heart, and the occasional hotdog. Totally wild though.

No, it's not a Russian domesticated fox. Those are silverish and have floppy ears due to domestication. I second your question: how/why do you have a fox? It looks magical.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Maybe to hear the HE HE HE HE HE. It's therapeutic.

Well it does look stuffed… STUFFED FULL OF AWWW!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

It sounds one of those scab mods

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm sorry you had to go through that process. It's never a pleasant experience, but I hope they'll ramp up their disgusting power tripping mod practices so that more people leave Reddit and come to the light side.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

She looks like a drawing!! So pretty

[–] nostradiel 5 points 2 years ago

Such a beauty. 😇 And reddit can go stuff itself..

[–] realSpez 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

But really, is he stuffed?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

He looks like he could eat a little
