Thanks to community member “onion” for the meme theme suggestion! Possums (or opossums, specifically) are on the rise in meme culture and popularity. Usually paired with some form of existential comedy, these lil’ guys just want to be! There was a myth that opossums gave birth from their nose – something proven false – but somewhat grounded in an interesting fact! Opossum mothers will lick their pouch and surrounding area before giving birth, often resulting a sneezing sound. Nothing like a simple mistake! Both “possum” and “opossum” correctly refer to the Virginia opossum that is seen in North America, with possum being common and layman’s terms, and opossum specifically for science (according to Merriam-Webster, take it up with them). So no matter how you talk about these lil’ fellas, enjoy wasting your time with these funny opossum memes!
