possum

We humans are not so different from fuzzy garbage-dwellers such as possums and raccoons. We accumulate random junk to add to our nests. We eat snacks whenever we please, especially at night. We take long naps in our dens during the day when we're feeling particularly anti-social. Yes, these so-called 'trash animals' are really the spirit animals of the human species, and they deserve a little more respect. That's why we've put together these relatively wholesome memes featuring screeching possums and funny trash pandas. 

If you're looking for bizarre memes and internet things you might not have seen yet, you're in for a treat because we've got a selection of memes and pics ranging from somewhat dark to pretty wholesome, all within the meme realm of the weird. 

There's a whole lot going on in the world right now, but you certainly don't need us to tell you that. And you know what? Sometimes it's okay to completely shut out the universe of humans and instead indulge in a bit of harmless humor about animals. The world will keep turning just like the internet will continue bombarding us with breaking news and think-pieces. It's totally fine to take a break from all that. Wholesome and hilarious animal memes are just the thing to help distract from the world's chaos. 

Possums may be known to most as pests, but here at Memebase we think they're kinda cute. So much so that we gathered up some memes in honor of them that we think you'll like.

It's often said that variety is the spice of life. If that's true, then this massive gallery of memes and shitposts is positively picante. From opossums to zany Tumblr posts and irreverent and pessimistic memes, this batch of entertainment has a bit of something for everyone.

Here's your fun animal trivia for the day: did you know that possums and opossums are two different species? The opossum is the only marsupial native to North America, whereas the possum is native to Australia, New Guinea, and other areas in the Pacific. The two also look quite different. 

And lastly, are these little guys cute or not? Please let us know because we honestly can't decide.

You deserve a break, don't you? 

Hot Pockets for the eccentric palate!

You like possums? Well, these are the sick sad memes for you, you idiot. 

Carpe frickin' diem.

The East Coast has Punxsutawney Phil. Sand Mountain has "Sand Mountain Sam" - this opossum that supposedly predicts the weather. This year, after Sam predicted an early spring, a photo of the critter has gone viral on social media - inspiring a whole lot of memes.
