Is it photoshop or is the raccoon actually in a silly hat?
Unbelievably, the picture is of the hat, the racoons was shopped in.
Hey, when I was a kid in the 90s if you wanted to see a picture of a raccoon you'd spend all day online waiting for it to load! If you knew the right guy at school though you could get a 1/4" floppy disk already loaded with raccoon pictures so you wouldn't have to wait so long...
raccoon
Yeah "raccoon"
Don't kink shame me.
omg I completely forgot how tiny raccoons were in the 90s.
Oh Captain Janeway. Lace, the final brazier
You mean beaver.
Big brown beavers
5.25", or 3.5"? We had both at my parents' house in the 90s, but the standard was 3.5"
I think there may even be an external 8" floppy drive in my parents' barn.
This would have been around 95 or 96 so definitely 3.5" floppies. The same guy said he could get me bootleg copies of Duke Nukem 3D and Rise of the Triad and they both came on huge stacks of 3.5" floppies that he expected me to give back to him lol
I loved RotT, especially when you'd blow someone up and get an eyeball smearing down the screen hah. (There may be something wrong with me lol)
If you wanted to watch a raccoon try to wash cotton candy, you'd have to find a raccoon and give it some cotton candy.

Now you can just describe a specific raccoon video and be presented with it by a stranger who also loves this video.

50 years ago? Yes, that's true, but it was true 25 years ago too. For a lot of people it was true as recently as 15-20 years ago.
In the 90's you'd have to watch America's Home Videos, complete with Bob Sagat and commercials to see the same stuff freely available all over the internet now.
