But the boxes were taken to the dumpster, yes? With time saved, even? Someone in a managerial position would rather hire, train, and pay a devoted garbage person instead of three adorably unpaid raccoons?
I see no problems
Until the raccoons unionize and demand healthcare coverage instead of just table scraps.
Train another raccoon to bust unions
Impossible, raccoon class consciousness is too strong.
Raccoons aren’t a protected class and I will continue to exploit their lack of rights u til such time as they garner enough support to be represented in the government and change the laws.
AHAB - raccoons, definitely
AHAB?
20XX: The Raccoon Rebellions reach their peak. Multiple systems are in turmoil as the conflict rages. New fronts emerge everyday as guerilla factions splinter. Bodies litter the streets like piles of… trash. There is no end in sight.
Pretty sure 20XX is full of robots and randomly generated stages 🤔
Maybe it’s the raccoons that make the robots?
Look at you anxiety driven humans. You don’t know the racoons goals and dreams, maybe all they want is a huge pile of trash in the midle of the city. We should hear their demands first
Darcy the human wants healthcare. Trained trash pandas want apples. Why are we even discussing this?
The manager is clearly 3 raccoons in a trenchcoat who don’t want competition
is this a Lemmy post of an Instagram post of a Reddit post?
Yes, it’s very meta.
The internet is terribly inbread and I love it
It’s very doughy indeed.
This proofs that everything is just a repost of a repost of a repost.
It’s been that way basically forever. I’m old enough to remember YTMNDs showing up on Ebaumsworld.
You missed the pun train there champ… follow the breadcrumbs.
Digging it
Yeah, I thought it might have been a little half-baked. At yeast a few people got it.
I was there, too, but it didn’t bother me as much when I was fresh out the oven. Maybe now that I’ve gotten old and crusty my cynicism just makes all the reposts seem a little stale.
You sound like you knead to find the lost fluff of your life
what are you doing step site?
Oh, just checking my favorite step site’s cookies
I was going to say *inbred, but then I saw your username and realised you said what you meant.
Threads too?!
We have to go deeper. Im posting this to 4chan.
It’s gonna end up on Facebook next
Not Trash Pandas. Waste Management Pandas.
Waste Management Engineers= Waste Management Pandas
Waste Management(Engineers) /Waste Management=Waste Management(Pandas) /Waste ManagementEngineers = Pandas

Checks out.
If someone can successfully train racoons to do their job I’d probably give them a raise and some deodorant
Under capitalism they would be fired and the raccoons made to replace them for no pay.
No joke there are tons of stories of people writing programs to automate their job, management finding out, and basically getting fired while the company appropriates their automation code, since from their profit chasing perspective why should they pay someone if they can just take the code they wrote which will do the same thing for free?
Which is why you always implement a dead man’s switch that you can turn off if you leave the job amicably. And never leave your source code behind if you can avoid it.
The dead man switch at one of my last places was the companies incompetence and lack of forethought.
When I left, I told them that the files for their system that I designed, built, and maintained was on the laptop I was returning to them.
They wiped it.
They also had zero clue how to use the programs I had nor any other aspect of that system so they really shot themselves in the foot then shot their other one to test of the first one hurt
Then they’ll get their lawyers involved to fuck you over. Since you probably coded it on company time with company equipment, they own everything and can sue you if you put booby traps in it. Hell there have been contracts in tech that say that everything you code while employed, regardless of whether it’s related to the business or not, they can claim, whether that extent is enforcible is another question but just the mere fact that plenty of companies are brazen enough to try that shit speaks for how much they expect to get away with, and they’re probably right.
Individuals rarely win against businesses as a design feature of capitalist society.
Well then at the very least do what I did: put in the code an Easter Egg that wishes you a happy birthday on your birthday in the copyright blurb at the bottom of the intranet page.
Lol you think source code you write at work is yours to take with you?
If you aren’t in a dev job it would be incredibly easy to prevent the source code from falling into company hands.
Until they sick their lawyers on you
It is hard to get source code even from devs employed as devs in most of the world, getting source code from average office plankton is outright impossible.
Now you’re just making stuff up lmao.
The premise of this thread is someone writing code that automates them out of their own job. Even the most incompetent company is going to make sure they have that code before firing the author.
Not paid as programmer = GTFO from my source code
The entire premise is fake, but that stupid fake manager is still driving up my blood pressure.
Look if you can get Raccoons to do your work for you, it should be an instant promotion to manager.
acivement unlocked: Manager of Racoons
Unfortunately, the promotion to raccoon manager does not come with a salary bump.
It comes with raccoon henchmen. Which is better.
Is noone going to comment on how someone trained a bunch of animals to help with cleaning? They were more than an employee, they were a Disney Princess!
Or Fluttershy:
Fake story, probably, I doubt raccoons train like dogs, and if “Darcy” was that talented then they wouldn’t be getting yelled at, they’d be in charge. “Darcy” isn’t real. But nobody will ever catch OP lying, and they got the attention, they win.
Not only do people constantly lie online for attention and whatever money they can get, we also have to always remind ourselves that ChatGPT will spit out “a reddit post with a lot of upvotes” just fine, and it will be original enough work, too. It will certainly look like any other post. There’s not even weird fingers to look for, a text post might as well be human, we can’t spot it, there’s no usable tells. Typos, narrative incompetence and shit spelling are more likely to be human than bot, that’s no help at all. ChatGPT likely wrote the Darcy story, or could have.
Everything about this can be easily automated. There’s not even a guy feeding prompts into the machine, it’s feeding itself. Someone set it all up, got it running, and walked away weeks ago, they come by once a day to make sure it’s not doing anything weird, and that it’s getting whatever results (desirable upvotes on a sellable account) they want. The account might only be worth $3, but they didn’t work for that, and they’re running 100 of these accounts.
Or they aren’t that serious, it’s all just resume padding for them, and they’re putting “Experienced in AI content generation and management techniques” down, hitting all the keywords. Everyone is getting lied to in bulk by a robot 24/7 just so this person can add a line to the CV.
That’s where we’re at now, and I think everyone over 40 needs a bit of a lecture about it, not that they don’t already understand, it’s just going to take ten years to internalize the new reality. Everything online is now almost certainly false, autogenerated or at least heavily modified, as with face filters, and this will bear a lot of repeating.
Every time I hear some old fart grumble about TikTok and how they hate it and blah blah, I think, uh oh, he hasn’t seen those fucking face filters in action, he has no idea how freaky it’s gotten. Dude is going to be easily fooled in the future, catfished to be damned if he’s lucky.
We still kind of assume the other people online are at least flesh and blood, that they’re still some guy with a government ID, even if he’s pretending to be a wolf right now. We still kinda see a photo and treat it as evidence, when it now means absolutely nothing.
That’s all gone now. All of this is fiction, or at least you have to treat it like fiction. Most of the newer crop of users, human or not, firmly believe they have a right to lie to you for clicks. Of course, they know that people don’t want their pedestrian lies, so they don’t mind letting you assume they speak truth, so that you’ll pay attention.
If they get busted they’ll just act like everyone else is unreasonable, and that they have a god-given right to “tell stories if they want to”, insisting that you grow up or whatever. A lot of people genuinely believe they have a right to lie if it suits them, and that the responsibility is entirely on you to either catch their lies or at least assume they are always lying, and if you get caught by their lies, YOU are the stupid child, and it’s you that has to change your behavior. It would be unreasonable for them to experience consequences. That’s how they think. And now they want money, and now they’re all here. That’s before we even talk about robots. This consistent lying is now a business model, it’s a television show they’re scripting, they just don’t feel like announcing the truth because it would cost them views.
We’re so, so fucking far beyond “kids and weirdos making shit up for attention sometimes” now, and that problem was already bad enough. The internet of 1998 was already a paradise for compulsive liars, but we’re way past even that, today. There’s a lot of money in social media clicks and views, and a lot of grown people granting themselves the right to lie to your face because it pays their rent.
So yeah. Darcy isn’t real. Those raccoons never moved a single bag. Get in the habit of treating all photographs as automatically false until proved otherwise, as well, and I don’t think video is going to be real for much longer, either. I give it 5 years before completely false footage, of, say, war, is not distinguishable from real footage, not for the average person, even a smart one. In 5 years a serious expert may struggle to definitively say, “this is fake”. The rest of us are boned.
I give it 5 years before somebody can fabricate a video of you robbing a liquor store that would probably hold up in court. Honestly? They can do that now. Things are getting grim, and of course you’re a little whiny baby bitch Luddite shut up no talking for doing anything except shaking your cheerleader pom poms for AI, don’t expect any social pushback to slow this down, this is getting forced into your life like the iPhone. Buy NVDA. Or just SPY that works too.
I’d start treating all this social media like a smoking habit if I were you, I don’t see this having positive outcomes for the vast majority of people. We had 20 years to enjoy it, it’s time to let socials become a digital Gary, Indiana, abandoned, except for bots posting at bots being financially exploited by “influencers”, who aren’t real, either but nobody really lives there anymore.
How difficult would it be to teach raccoons to manage IT infrastructure?
Asking for a friend.
They keep trying to wash the server
Corporate only doesn’t want the raccoons trained because then they might have to pay them.
It can be worse - they might start raccoon union
Racoonion
If the job is done, where is the problem?
Miserer should put people into misery. Miserers are not happy when someone is not miserable.
I don’t see an issue here. 🤷
Just looks like working smarter, not harder to me.
Sounds like staff is gonna train the racoons
You get work done for you, they get trash. Win/win
Necessity breeds innovation.
🍞🥐🥖
We had a raccoon living in our attic. I would have liked to train it to take the trash to the curb, but instead it just peed on the floor until a stain came through to the other side.
I hope he was paying those raccoons a fair wage! outsourced work is often done in unethical ways!
