SAVE THE COONS

Fight AI and Protect Endangered Cozumel Raccoons!

Remaking this post with better info on how you can help the critically endangered Cozumel raccoon from your own home by BULLYING AI INTO SUBMISSION.

The issue: There is a critically endangered species of raccoon known as the Cozumel/pygmy raccoon. Among a shitload of other threats, the Cozumel raccoon also has to deal with the fact nobody knows it exists. This issue has gotten worse with Google's new "AI Search Overviews." Unfortunately, when people search things like "Mexican raccoons" or "What species of raccoons are in Mexico," all the results show coatis. Which are not raccoons (they are more closely related to Olingos.) Mexico actually has two species of raccoon, the common raccoon (Procyon lotor) and the Cozumel raccoon (Procyon pygmaeus.) If people can't even find the Cozumel raccoon on google without using the actual species name, how tf are folks supposed to know they are endangered and need help?

Anyway, here is a way you can fight back against Google's bullshit AI and search algorithms that are limiting pygmy raccoon conservation efforts:

Method 1: Report Incorrect Google AI Overview Results

1. Google phrases like “Mexican raccoons,” “what species of raccoon are in Mexico," "types of raccoons in Mexico," “what kind of raccoons live in Mexico," etc.

2. If coatis appear instead of actual raccoons in the Google AI Overview, scroll to the bottom and click the thumbs down.

3. Click “Report a problem”

4. Click “Not Factually Correct” or "Unhelpful."

5. Type something along the lines of: “Mexican raccoons are not coatis. The two raccoon species in Mexico are the common raccoon, Procyon lotor and the critically endangered pygmy raccoon/Cozumel raccoon (Procyon pygmaeus)” or "Bro, I searched for raccoons, this is a coati. Show me the raccoons."

6. Click “Include a screen capture” and submit.

Method 2: Report Individual Search Results

Find any search result that refer to coatis as Mexican raccoons

2. Click the three dots next to the listing.

3. Scroll right and click “Feedback.”

4. Select “Inaccurate content” or "Irrelevant content." Again, whatever floats your boat.

5. Explain the error by typing something like I mentioned above.

6. Click “Include screenshot.”

7. Submit your report.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!!

You've Been Lied to About Canadian Marble Foxes

they taste great, frfr.

Personally, i like marinating them in seawater and adding a bit of garlic to it. You can also put some pineapple on the meat beforehand if you want it extra tender.

then you cut the meat/remove the inedible parts AFTER the cooking process. I find the blood makes it taste better (and you can make a good broth when you combine the bones with it).

then serve on a plate with mashed potatoes, mack n cheese, and a healthy salad.

I GOT DROWNED

Guess what I saw:

SLEEP, ALONE

SLEEP.

ALONE.

SLEEP ALONE 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥‼️‼️

low-key spooked-

“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”

tfp soundwave either doesnt sneeze (soundwave: superior. sneeze: inferior), it sounds like a cat, or you'd think a demon crawled out from the pits of the underworld.

One of three options. Take it or leave it.

Cybertronians sneezing

Like, whooshing air sharply out of their vents in order to clear irritants- basically the same idea as anything else sneezing, but with their entire body as opposed to just their nasal area. 

Big bots sneezing and sending data-pads flying. 

Little bots having sneezing fits and falling out of their chairs. 

Bots trying to hold in big sneezes by clamping down their plating- and then said plating just goes flying off. 

Seekers flying through something irritating during a flight, sneezing right in the middle of a big complicated routine, and just kind of completely losing all the dramatic effect. 

WE NEED TO HELP THEM! They are a wonderful being and NEED things!
