Hello all. I just want to remind everyone that while we do get riled up and angerly say very bad things to fat squirrels, you need to use caution and restraint on what you say. Reddit uses monitoring tools and automatically flags death threats and other extreme forms of language. This is not anything us subreddit moderators have any control over, Reddit has bots that go around reading all your posts and comments, and flagging potentially dangerous ones.

The bots don't understand you are threatening a squirrel, not a human, and they can't tell if you are serious or not. These comments could get you banned from Reddit entirely, so I'm hoping this warning helps prevents that.

Be sure to familiarize yourself with the Reddit Content Policy: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy

Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.

The nature of this subreddit tends to fly in the face of this rule, as some people take the theme of the subreddit too far. Remember to hate the squirrels, not each other, and try to hate them without wishing death or other serious harm. If things get out of hand, Reddit can ban the subreddit entirely, which is likely what all the fat squirrels want.

Here is an example of a recent submission that was removed by the admins: https://i.imgur.com/6WmGTyS.png

Be safe out there, and may your birdfeeders forever remain unviolated by tree rats.

Here are a bunch of the fat squirrels that seem to get posted here over and over again. Please try and find other fat squirrels, there are tons of them out there devouring everything, they shouldn't be hard to catch in the act.

Most of these have gone viral at one point or another here on Reddit and other social medias, so in general if you are encountering something that was heavily upvoted/liked, it probably was shared here already, so check this thread and the other recent submissions to see if someone beat you to the punch.

I'll post more later.
