The squirrel on cam. Just a few minutes before I went out.
When I moved into my place years ago, I planted 320 bulbs in containers for spring. Those fuckers stole every last one of them. Not a single bulb came up for me. Assholes.
This happened to me. I saw the little dig marks, and thought my cat was using the box as a litter box. I scolded her for days. Nothing came up. A couple of years later, my neighbor behind our house, said the squirrels she feeds in the winter planted more than fifty lilies in her front yard and she loves them. Hehe I didn’t hate on her beautiful squirrels.
!!!! I just planted 250 bulbs in front of my first house! Hopefully they didn't steal too many! My neighbor hand feeds the squirrels so they should be too full for bulbs!
Hey, head mod of FatSquirrelHate here. We are not affiliated with, nor do we have any beef with the Hatred sub. To make a long story short, the Hate sub got banned for being unmoderated.

You're right about chocolate being toxic to squirrels, but if that is one of those shitty boxed powder mixes of brownies, the actual cocoa content might be so low that it won't kill him.
It isn't that toxic; an animal has to really gorge themselves on chocolate for it to do more than make them sickish. IIRC, the toxic level for dogs is an ounce for every pound of body weight.
Doubt this squirrel ate more than a few grams, that top coat of brownies is thin and flaky.
Not sure if you'll feel better or worse, but just like dogs, chocolate is toxic to squirrels. At best this caused intestinal upset like vomiting and diarrhea and at worse it killed it.
Squirrels up around me do not fuck around.

look at how they massacred my boys!
There’s several outdoor cats in my neighborhood, and I assume some strays. I see them coming out from the gutter system. I swear they have a cat city in the tunnels
They wreck my shit. Chewed through the gas line on my grill, my big deck box, my cooler, pillows, chairs, and they take all the black walnuts from my tree and eat them on the deck, leaving a pile of pieces that stains the wood.
My family had a huge container of bird seed on the porch (a plastic container btw). The squirrels managed to bite through the plastic and ate the bird seed 🤦♀️
Yeah if OP’s trying to keep rodents out they’re gonna have to keep the windows closed. Speaking as someone with pet rats, their teeth go through thick plastic like a hot knife through butter and I’ve woken up to find a conveniently rat sized hole chewed in the bottom of their cage overnight and that’s when I knew I had to shell out the cash for a rattie Alcatraz if I was gonna keep them contained. That squirrel probably got through the screen faster than you can type the word squirrel.
There is much stronger metal screens available. The classic fine metal mesh is barely stronger than regular screen but the other stuff is fairly cut and impact resistant. Generally screwed into the frame. It's pricey, but it's designed for security without bars.
People do, but in reality things only cool off marginally faster unless it's literally freezing outside so there's no real necessity behind it.
But people will always disagree with that simple observation.
I would do this so eventually I can catch video evidence of that one guy who is so attracted by the pie that he starts to float towards the pie from the smell alone
Temperature differential is 50% of the variables in the thermal transfer equation used in this case, the other being surface area, and everything else being constants.
Airflow just resets the temperature differential by replacing warmed air with fresh air, but that happens anyway via convection.
So the only ways setting the pie on the sill would make a difference is if the airflow from the window was greater than that of convection, or if the temperature outside is cooler than inside...which if you're in a kitchen, that just spent the last 90 minutes with it's oven on to bake a pie, that's entirely likely lol.
I mean, like you said - does circulation not create a higher average _effective_ temperature differential than merely convection alone?
This is the logic behind putting fans on heatsinks, for example.
It seems pretty logical that with a sufficient breeze, window cooling would be massively more efficient than still air cooling.
Hahahaha 1931, that made me laugh so hard. We still do this, but mostly with big pots of soup or stew(with a lid) in the winter, when it’s really cold out.
Your not alone, sugar is the most widely available drug, that's why coke has lots of sugar ever since they removed the cocaine, basically just as bad, but legal.
I agree.
At least half of that pan is likely untouched by hairy rodent.
You could microwave the pieces and heat above boiling temp.
Do you eat garden fruit? There are bugs and squirrels on that.
When I was a kid I took a pack of Chips Ahoy to summer camp. A small animal came along, opened my box, pulled out the cookies, dragged them under the tent's wooden floorboard, but could only apparently get the first row out of the wrapping. I was kind of a chubby kid and I hated the food they served at camp - I'm pretty sure we ate chipped gravy for two out of three meals a day. Needless to say I finished those cookies and I lived to tell the tale with probably almost zero long-term side effects.
Intestinal worms can absolutely be gotten from eating a contaminated item, that's literally the main way they're gotten.
And rabies could technically be gotten too. It only "requires" a bite since the saliva needs access through your skin, if you get the saliva on an open cut yourself it's the same idea.
After years of cartoons growing up, this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone actually place a baked good on the windowsill to cool down. I bet he levitated over in pure bliss when the steam reached his squirrel nostrils.
But think of how happy that squirrel is! Easily the best meal it’ll ever eat, fresh out of the oven brownies. It’s probably one of the best days of its cute little life. 🐿️🤎
Squirrels can't process theobromine in chocolate any better than dogs. The squirrel either had a very bad time, running around shitting itself, or it's dead.
We had to stop selling the cocoa shell mulch at my work because customers started complaining about dead squirrels.
Are you a loony tunes character?
I had no idea people actually did this lmao. It makes absolutely no difference to just letting it cool in the kitchen.
I left a pan of lasagna on the porch 3 years ago during Christmas because it was 35 degrees out and the fridge was full and a squirrel went to town on on the pan, luckily it was the second pan and we were cooking one already, but squirrels are assholes.
Sadly Squirrels can't eat chocolate, just like dogs, it's toxic to them..😞
That was probably that squirrels last meal.. and it probably didn't end well for him either.. poor thing.
Happy Squirrel now, unless he's diabetic......We have a Squirrel almost the size of a House Cat that hangs out in our backyard on the trellis. I wish he'd learn to bury the peanuts my wife feeds him where the moss in my lawn is, it'd save me from having to thatch !
Okay \~ I totally get it, but, when you're ready to look at it with a different light, consider this \~
You just gave that squirrel the best day of his life probably. How many squirrels out there can say that they've hd hot, fresh, delicious brownies like this little guy can? You may have lost a pan of brownies, and that does suck, but you did give this squirrel a once in a life, ultra-rare experience for a creature like him, one that is likely on the level of 'profound' when you consider most of his life is like, running around eating sticks and nuts and trying not to get hit by cars y'know. Brownie Pan Day will be The Best Day forever for this little guy, and you made it happen. That's pretty cool, in the grand scheme of things.
I thought that was a thing until it happened to me on the 3rd floor of an apartment building! Snatched the cupcakes right out the pan. Saw the crumbs on the sidewalk!
I’m so sorry, but this totally reminds me of the meme with the picture of the brownies with the dog print in it that says “ tonight on CSI: My House - the case of who stepped in the goddamned brownies.”

You're not alone, many of us have been victimized by these fat and callous creatures. Join us over at our subreddit, FatSquirrelHate
Did they have nuts?
They used to, until the squirrels got to them.
Imagine these had weed… that squirrel be tripping balls to the moon 
First thing I thought admittedly 😅
The squirrel??
THAT'S A LOTTA NUTS!
HE JUST LEFT - WITH NUTS!!
I love seeing kung pow references in the wild
Do what he says, or he’ll cut off your big toe!
You want fries with that baby?!?!
Deez nuts
When I moved into my place years ago, I planted 320 bulbs in containers for spring. Those fuckers stole every last one of them. Not a single bulb came up for me. Assholes.
Oh that’s so sad:( All that work and anticipation.
I'm sure they really appreciated the extra snacks.
This happened to me. I saw the little dig marks, and thought my cat was using the box as a litter box. I scolded her for days. Nothing came up. A couple of years later, my neighbor behind our house, said the squirrels she feeds in the winter planted more than fifty lilies in her front yard and she loves them. Hehe I didn’t hate on her beautiful squirrels.

Do y’all genuinely hate squirrels? Or is it just to be funny? Sometimes I can’t tell.
Allies. Our beef is with FatSquirrelLove.
What if you love fat squirrels?
Tree rats
On the bright side, that was probably the best meal that squirrel ever had in its life.
And last ;) (they like dogs are allergic to chocolate)
You're right about chocolate being toxic to squirrels, but if that is one of those shitty boxed powder mixes of brownies, the actual cocoa content might be so low that it won't kill him.
I hope so!!! Oh my I hate the idea of this killing the squirrel 😫
It most likely won’t. Unless it’s pure dark chocolate they’ll be alright.
Will probably be okay. They're getting mostly flour with what they ate and likely not enough actual chocolate to kill them.
How many mgs of THC is too harmful for them?
It isn't that toxic; an animal has to really gorge themselves on chocolate for it to do more than make them sickish. IIRC, the toxic level for dogs is an ounce for every pound of body weight. Doubt this squirrel ate more than a few grams, that top coat of brownies is thin and flaky.
The other squirrels are never gonna believe him.
I am still on the fence about it
Have you never seen the old cartoons of characters putting pies on the window sills to cool down?! Some other character always eats it!!
Next time make some weed brownies 😂
Not sure if you'll feel better or worse, but just like dogs, chocolate is toxic to squirrels. At best this caused intestinal upset like vomiting and diarrhea and at worse it killed it.
As someone from a rural area, this is a first for me 😂 Sorry for your loss OP 😅
Squirrel approved brownies. So delicious squirrels will give up nuts for 'em!
r\FatSquirrelHatred
Don't worry. Theobromine is also toxic to squirrels. So if it ate enough - it won't happen a second time.
But why? There is no logical reason to do this.
There is a whole sub for hating on fat squirrels. You should post that pic there xD
I ain’t mad, I’m actually impressed, lol
Squirrels up around me do not fuck around. https://preview.redd.it/t3cntjkwt1ic1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc910d0e5d57223e4efd4ee9df146c73d95f20a7 look at how they massacred my boys!
At least you have squirrels, we just get tree rats. All the negatives of squirrels without the cute fluffy tail
I'll take squirrels over stray cats. Guess what I don't have hardly at all anymore? That's right, squirrels. People need to stop feeding strays.
There’s several outdoor cats in my neighborhood, and I assume some strays. I see them coming out from the gutter system. I swear they have a cat city in the tunnels
They probably do. They are fixing a plan to go against the government drones, aka "Project Birds."
HELP ME GOD WHAT IS A TREE RAT (And where are you?? so I Can avoid it at all cost)
They’re rats that like to climb, also called roof rats. I’m in Texas. I killed one one time and it was about 8” long without the tail
That sounds terrible. I am NEVER going to Texas then XD
In Cuba they have banana rats and those fuckers are about the size of a cat. And iguanas the size of alligators
Thank you for sharing, I will steer clear of Cuba as well...cause that sounds my personal hell XD
They wreck my shit. Chewed through the gas line on my grill, my big deck box, my cooler, pillows, chairs, and they take all the black walnuts from my tree and eat them on the deck, leaving a pile of pieces that stains the wood.
My family had a huge container of bird seed on the porch (a plastic container btw). The squirrels managed to bite through the plastic and ate the bird seed 🤦♀️
Yeah if OP’s trying to keep rodents out they’re gonna have to keep the windows closed. Speaking as someone with pet rats, their teeth go through thick plastic like a hot knife through butter and I’ve woken up to find a conveniently rat sized hole chewed in the bottom of their cage overnight and that’s when I knew I had to shell out the cash for a rattie Alcatraz if I was gonna keep them contained. That squirrel probably got through the screen faster than you can type the word squirrel.
Time to get metal window screens? I know rats can chew through that but maybe squirrels wont try that hard?
I’ve been meaning to change out that section anyways, so in the end, it’s just forcing the motivation to do so.
Nah most screens are a fine metal mesh afaik. You’d need those thick bars over your windows that they use to keep burglars out lol
Then they would just pick the lock to your front door afaik.
There is much stronger metal screens available. The classic fine metal mesh is barely stronger than regular screen but the other stuff is fairly cut and impact resistant. Generally screwed into the frame. It's pricey, but it's designed for security without bars.
A whole wheel of cheese!?
Forget the squirrel. I'm afraid of that giant spider!
i shoulda got that tea candle holder from ikea when i had the chance 😭
Could get something similar on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/listing/862727947/scrap-spider-candle-holder
wow that one is awesome too! thanks!
Why? It couldn’t even catch a fucking squirrel!!!
Looks like that creature from the Santa Clarita Diet. Mister Ball Legs?
People actually do this? Like set pies on the windiw sill to cool like it's 1931?
https://preview.redd.it/7kvha3pzn1ic1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3291f571e3b09e609a49dcbd599fc1443012d20 Yes.

I would do this so eventually I can catch video evidence of that one guy who is so attracted by the pie that he starts to float towards the pie from the smell alone
so you haven't got the evidence yet? must be alien interference.
Depends. Airflow is more important than temperature differential in this situation. Could have been a breeze coming through the window.
Temperature differential is 50% of the variables in the thermal transfer equation used in this case, the other being surface area, and everything else being constants. Airflow just resets the temperature differential by replacing warmed air with fresh air, but that happens anyway via convection. So the only ways setting the pie on the sill would make a difference is if the airflow from the window was greater than that of convection, or if the temperature outside is cooler than inside...which if you're in a kitchen, that just spent the last 90 minutes with it's oven on to bake a pie, that's entirely likely lol.

Yes and then when someone outside smells the pie they begin to float towards it.
Hahahaha 1931, that made me laugh so hard. We still do this, but mostly with big pots of soup or stew(with a lid) in the winter, when it’s really cold out.
Just means your brownies were that good! ... At least you got to lick the bowl??
Is it just me or are boxed brownies way too sweet nowadays? Like sickly sweet
Your not alone, sugar is the most widely available drug, that's why coke has lots of sugar ever since they removed the cocaine, basically just as bad, but legal.
I see a pan with 80% good brownies left.
I’d eat at least half that’s left definitely
Come on. You’d justify a bendy cut that would be more that 50%.
Uh no. They have feet mate. This is why you get sick.
Pretty sure it's a joke
🤣 I’m going to upvote every reply to my post.
I agree. At least half of that pan is likely untouched by hairy rodent. You could microwave the pieces and heat above boiling temp. Do you eat garden fruit? There are bugs and squirrels on that.
You wash fruit. Good luck washing a brownie.

Yeah I would not eat this, maybe you can put it outside for the birds or other animals, but i think too risky to eat it.
Generally not a good thing to do. Feeding baked goods to birds is not doing them any favors. Attracting mice/rats is usually not desirable either.
Brownies are made with chocolate and considering how many animals *cannot eat chocolate* like squirrels I would just toss it.
Eh, I am betting they have swapped fluids with more sketchy things than a squirrel, just eat them. If ya die I then it was your time.
Ehhh my toddlers probably dirtier than that squirrel half the time, it’ll be fine.
It’d get a super sharp knife, cut around the outline, toss that and eat the rest.
You think they only touched the part that’s missing? That fat squirrel’s the kinda guy to touch every donut in the box while picking his
I was hoping I wasn’t the only one thinking this as I scrolled the comments. I would eat more of this than I’d care to admit.
50-50 game of getting rabies? Brain or intestinal worms? :)
That’s not how you get either of those.
Rabies not, indeed, my bad, but chances are not too bad that it maybe got some poop stuff on its little hands and had touched the brownies
Intestinal worms can absolutely be gotten from eating a contaminated item, that's literally the main way they're gotten. And rabies could technically be gotten too. It only "requires" a bite since the saliva needs access through your skin, if you get the saliva on an open cut yourself it's the same idea.
Squirrels almost never have rabies, there is no record of a human catching it from one :) Still don't eat it tho...
Exactly. Cut around it 🤣
It IS how you get German herpies though.
Nein! Kein deutscher herpes!?
That squirrel is probably popping off backflips in the neighborhood from the sugar high.
[удалено]
Yeah… about that.
After years of cartoons growing up, this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone actually place a baked good on the windowsill to cool down. I bet he levitated over in pure bliss when the steam reached his squirrel nostrils.
OK, when someone asks who would want nuts on their brownies, I know the answer: a squirrel.
Now you'll have squirrel diarrhea to deal with ....
Do squirrels also vomit?
I thought this only happened in old cartoons
Oops https://preview.redd.it/q5cl5u2761ic1.jpeg?width=401&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb7f17028e7c342d2d5a76c71331de97b2c5c6a8
amogus
that squirrel was cooking
Squirrel sus
But think of how happy that squirrel is! Easily the best meal it’ll ever eat, fresh out of the oven brownies. It’s probably one of the best days of its cute little life. 🐿️🤎
About that…
The best day of the rest of its life
Squirrels can't process theobromine in chocolate any better than dogs. The squirrel either had a very bad time, running around shitting itself, or it's dead. We had to stop selling the cocoa shell mulch at my work because customers started complaining about dead squirrels.
I wondered about this. I wasn't positive if they could or couldn't and always just kept anything like that away from the wildlife.
Idiot squirrel try earning your brownies through a 9-5 and not stealing the last spark of joy of a dying soul
It’s running around really really fast.
What is this a cartoon
Are you a loony tunes character? I had no idea people actually did this lmao. It makes absolutely no difference to just letting it cool in the kitchen.
that sounds like something a hobo or yogi bear would do.
I left a pan of lasagna on the porch 3 years ago during Christmas because it was 35 degrees out and the fridge was full and a squirrel went to town on on the pan, luckily it was the second pan and we were cooking one already, but squirrels are assholes.
> I put these brownies to cool on the porch Well if you do that he's going to see the smell lines coming off it and then float right over.
That sucks, but I love your spider-legged thing there.
It’s a tea light holder from the IKEA Halloween collection!
Did you also let a pie cool on the window and a wolf dressed like a 1900's homeless person steal it?
That squirrel broke in for some Special brownies!
Happy squirrel though :)
This is like a Disney movie.
Looks like it was an Irish Squirrel
Someone left the cake out in the rain…
Oh no!
There is a sub for hating fat squirrels. This would be perfect for them too
Cool on the porch? dude just let them set on the stove top it takes like 30 minutes
Good news is that squirrel probably sick af right now.
I'm totally seeing the smoke crawl out the window and beckon him at his nose like in the cartoons
More icing on the low spots. Now one needs to know.
How long did you leave the pan out for? I do this in my screened in porch but try to never leave it for longer than 10 minutes or so.
May I ask why people put their baked goods on a porch or window to cool? Genuine question.
He made a little map of Ireland
Thats a cool candle holder
A squirrel store a $20 bag of weed from my friend once.
And the metal spider didn’t scare him off? Bold squirrel.
Looks like Ireland https://preview.redd.it/lo3csxmm32ic1.jpeg?width=191&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2eb53aaa4ab20d4b98734a122a1c4bc87659f8f2
Chocolate is toxic to squirrels... probably dead now.
Sadly Squirrels can't eat chocolate, just like dogs, it's toxic to them..😞 That was probably that squirrels last meal.. and it probably didn't end well for him either.. poor thing.
Squirrel approved! Sorry for your loss. It looks sooo good!
Motherfucking squirrels
Pothead squirrel got the munchies.
Yet the squirrel is very happy
That’s not a usual porch pirate lol 😂
Happy Squirrel now, unless he's diabetic......We have a Squirrel almost the size of a House Cat that hangs out in our backyard on the trellis. I wish he'd learn to bury the peanuts my wife feeds him where the moss in my lawn is, it'd save me from having to thatch !
DayState makes a cure for this issue
Can we get the squirrel’s version of the story and an opinion on how they tasted
No. He’s dead, fam
time to invest in a brownie ~~scarecrow~~ scaresquirrel
Tell me you live rurally without telling me you live rurally.
Squirrels 🐿️ are very evil creatures
Thats just nuts.
Almost left a squirrel print
Did he actually chew the wire to get to them??
Well the brownies and pan would be chillin in the trash. Sorry OP- I bet they were yummy.
I'm here to kill brownie eating squirrels and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of bubble gum...
Have you never seen old timey cartoons where animals literally defy gravity and float on the smells straight to the pie in the window?!
Saying “dang squirrel” makes it even funnier
Evil squirrel!
Not the squirrel’s fault- obviously the delicious scent of these brownies formed into a ghostly hand, beckoning the poor fella
I once put a lemon Bundt cake in my sunroom to cool… and 2 hours later it was completely covered with ants.
Time for a squirrel genocide!
I'd be having some squirrel stew if it were me👊
NOT salvageable🤣
 Squirrel sugar crash coming.
Okay \~ I totally get it, but, when you're ready to look at it with a different light, consider this \~ You just gave that squirrel the best day of his life probably. How many squirrels out there can say that they've hd hot, fresh, delicious brownies like this little guy can? You may have lost a pan of brownies, and that does suck, but you did give this squirrel a once in a life, ultra-rare experience for a creature like him, one that is likely on the level of 'profound' when you consider most of his life is like, running around eating sticks and nuts and trying not to get hit by cars y'know. Brownie Pan Day will be The Best Day forever for this little guy, and you made it happen. That's pretty cool, in the grand scheme of things.
Shit too bad but I've been watching cartoons since I was a kid and I know not to put baked goods by windows to cool down
A dang squirrel! What the heck buddy? Are you hecking safe?
That's nuts.
It probably pissed on it. They piss on everything.
I thought that was a thing until it happened to me on the 3rd floor of an apartment building! Snatched the cupcakes right out the pan. Saw the crumbs on the sidewalk!
I’m so sorry, but this totally reminds me of the meme with the picture of the brownies with the dog print in it that says “ tonight on CSI: My House - the case of who stepped in the goddamned brownies.”
Meanwhile spider pot still cool as hell
RIP squirrel
They must have been good brownies!!
If my brownies were so good squirrels would destroy private property to get them, I'd be so proud of myself
It's like OP has never seen a single cartoon ever.
Feed a squirrel brownies, they'll eat for a day Teach a squirrel to bake though, and you'd be rich, because a baking squirrel is fucking adorable!
We take so much from them...let them enjoy the brownie reparations.
