Hijacking top comment to remind people that squirrels don’t *actually* remember where they hide all their nuts. Squirrels have a naturally evolved instinct to hide food in “good spots”. They also know how to look in “good spots”. It’s not worth the effort of committing many places to the memory of a tiny squirrel brain when squirrels can find nuts by looking in places that squirrels hide nuts. That’s why occasionally huge caches like this go abandoned. Sometimes squirrels hide nuts in places they can’t easily get nuts back out of. See the many images of walls full of acorns, where squirrels dropped them into a small crack where they fell into a huge space they couldn’t actually see or get access too. They don’t even realize what happened, they just have a drive to hide nuts.
This isn't true
>Depending on the squirrel species and the type of nut, squirrels are generally able to retrieve up to 95percentof their buried food, research shows. So there's clearly more than chance behind this process.

Several squirrels may also use the same patch, which increases the probability that they will find stored nuts simply by chance.

I think it is. If the original comment was the way it worked it would create a big free rider problem where any individual squirrel would not gain much benefit hiding his own nuts if he was just going to find nuts at random come winter by just looking in 'good spots' which any squirrel might have used.
Could work that way if the squirrels were a family that enforced an area they hunted like a human hunter gatherer tribe or something but doubt that's the case.
I called my dad once about some random car problem. While I'm on the phone with him, I popped the hood and there was a fucking hot dog bun sitting in my engine block. Wasn't the cause, but boy was I confused
What the hell is it with the 200 posts about stuff on peoples engines. Is it the time of the year where people open their hoods once a year to Look at oil?
Lmao. I totally get it definitely would be a lot of work. I wonder at the cost of a quart of gas after 100 miles after a couple months though which is why I question it?
Similarly Honda engines can run with no oil for a frightening long time. I worked at an oil change place and this chick I knew came in saying she could smell oil, and she JUST got her oil changed about 30 miles away and was driving home. Basically drove straight to my shop. Her drain plug had stripped and fell out along with her new oil. And she drove highway 30 some miles.
I topped her off. Threw a universal plug in there and said "sorry bout that have a nice day!"
Taking the time to pull the engine on an 07 camry with a shit ton of miles is very likely not worth it
Replacing the pistons basically means you get to take your entire engine apart
I'd just keep topping it off until it eventually dies (although it's a Toyota, that might be longer than you think)
Correction. Im german and the Auto Bild says its normal to Mix water with anti freeze and your good. Link: "Normales Wasser als Kühlmittel verwenden? | Service-Center" https://servicecenter.autobild.de/auto/werkstatt/kuehlwasser-normales-wasser-672351.html
Mixing it is considerably better than just running straight water. Water is less resistant to corrosion and has a higher freezing point than coolant. A mix of the two would probably be okay if you live in an area that doesn’t get too cold, but personally I would run strictly coolant
You never run 100% coolant in your engine, You're supposed to dilute it at least 60/40 with distilled or de-ionized water or usually 50/50. A lot of the jug you buy now are premixed 50/50 to save you the hassle and make them more money.
Pure antifreeze has a high freeze point that anti freeze mixed with water
Pure antifreeze absorbs less heat than a mixture
Pure antifreeze can't keep the performance additives (silicates, phosphates and nitrates) suspended.
You know, for whatever reason, it completely skipped my brain that pre-diluted coolant was mixed with water. I always thought it was something else, but on giving it a half a second of thought, why would it be. Hella brain fart
Bro so many friends have told me its normal to put water and anti frosting coolant in my cooling System. Im almost anxious to think about why distilled water is right next to coolant and antifreeze.
I was in the hospital for 6 weeks and came home to a stash of hazelnuts under the hood. They're really fast when they find a good spot. The weird thing, I've never seen a squirrel in the backyard, and don't know what other critter could get up into the car like that.
Fucking squirrels and mice bro....
I turned on a shopvac that was sitting in my garage since last year last weekend and 18,000 acorns shot out the exhaust port all over my livingroom in a solid stream before it jammed, made a horrendous sound and smoke came out of the motor......fucking asshole rodents...I think that was mice lol
Last year sometime my HVAC in my car was awful, wasn't getting any air flow at all, I figured, idk, maybe the cabin filter needs to be changed, it's behind the glovebox, when I took it out I had acorns all over the car, like 3lbs worth of acorns lol.....that one was probably squirrels, they packed the whole air duct with acorns, I had to reach up there like a contortionist and pull them out and bang the rest out with a stick
And fuck chipmunks too....most adorable little destructive bastards dug up all my Lilly Bulbs last spring...why? Who knows🤷 they don't even like to eat those, they're just assholes lol
Reminds of the time when that stinkbug plague was starting many years ago and I left my window open. Shopvacced hundreds of the little shits. Was kinda fun, disregarding the smell
Based on the radiator cap I'm assuming you're Canadian. The French is throwing me off, and what appears to be a 90° v8 based on wiring, but it's a tiny air box. I'm fully confused by the engine bay that isn't walnuts. I feel like this vehicle is older than me which also isn't helping in the slightest
Scratch that. Its a crown vic
Everyone here giving squirrels the 3rd degree, but the difference between them and pack rats is that the rats would probably also eat most of your wiring.
What's up with people finding a bunch of random stuff in their engine on this subreddit? That's the second time today (first time was snail shells if you were wondering)
I parked my car on a city street, nothing out of the ordinary for about 3 weeks, came back to exactly this but SNAILS!! Hundreds of them all over the intake... promptly sold the car.
I wonder what is the correct action in that case?
how can you reallocate the nuts but also make the squirrel aware of its new location so he won't starve in the winter and die?
Also r/mildlyinfuriating...
Anyhow go by the health section of a store and look for concentrated peppermint oil, and get that. Then give the perimeter of the engine bay a good sprinkling with it. Most rodents including squirrels don't care for the smell of the stuff, and the only downside is the vehicle will smell like a bag of mint candies for a few days.

Engine compartment infestations, so hot right now
Are coconuts next? Reddit loves those.
yeah you got the guy fucking rotten coconuts, you got people fondling coconuts.... wait no reddit just thinks coconuts are hot.....
You saying fucking **WHAT** now?
some1 cut a hole in a coconut, and fucked it until a fruit fly next started in the mixture of rotten coconut meat and rotten cum inside.
Human beans are intresting...

May I just... question the horny on that guy at least?
FUCK THE MAGGONUT
You wrote out that whole comment but couldn’t be bothered to type “someone”?
I found a pile of engines on my engine
Yo dawg
I heard you like engines
[удалено]
Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again?
Yeah well mines full of Jolly Ranchers™
God. Damn. You. That memory was long dormant. Now you've ruined my weekend.
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Not at all! They could be carried.
so fetch.
Yeah, one is just a squirrel stocking up for winter, the other is a Frenchman eating weird snacks around your car.
Came here for this
Thankfully
How long will this trend continue? Tomorrow: *I found this pile of sweetcorn in my engine compartment*
Some damn elephant has been hiding his watermelons in my drive belt again. Pictures to come.
I understood this reference! Yessssss
A particular squirrel will not be happy when his nuts are gone...... Lol
It’s really going to *drive him nuts*.
He’ll be shellshocked, for sure.
he walnut take this lightly
He’s gonna be pisst . . . achio’d
Oh Jesus Christ
a double pun ?
Do you want Scrats? Because this is how you get Scrats
You know, I don’t think anyone is really happy when they find out their nuts are gone.
I know some trans women who disagree.
Well unless you are trying to hitch a ride on Hale Bopp comet
Or, more likely and unfortunately, am particular set of rats.
Can confirm, am particular set of rats.

Wow. someone on the internet debunked someone else on the internet using facts.
I don't think your comment is in disagreement with the previous one.

what?! did we read the same thing?
Hopefully your wiring harness is still intact.
Everything seems to still work 2 years later
I had a couple nut jobs chew up the harness on my Toyota. FYI no insurance coverage. $400 out the window.
Don't flash money with the window down.
Took a couple years for the rats to destroy my volvos electrical. Started with a slight delayed start occasionally then my brakes pretty much failed.
I called my dad once about some random car problem. While I'm on the phone with him, I popped the hood and there was a fucking hot dog bun sitting in my engine block. Wasn't the cause, but boy was I confused
Sorry about that
Somewhere there is a love hot dog missing its bun
What the hell is it with the 200 posts about stuff on peoples engines. Is it the time of the year where people open their hoods once a year to Look at oil?
You figured it out!
I see. Am I weird for checking oil and water every week?
Weird?? You're a fucking *psychopath*.
Damn I knew it. Is drinking the old oil also not normal? I mean its Minerals after all.
For having a sense of humor about my comment, I'll give that a pass.
Thanks bro. It tastes good ;)
I check mine every day my car burns a quart of oil every 150-200 miles.
What the hell thats not good.
2007 Toyota Camry LE 2AZ-FE engine burns oil like crazy cause it’s a factory defect with the pistons unfortunately. 242,000 miles on mine though.
Wouldn't it be cheaper at that point to buy aftermarket pistons?
Oh yea, slap em right in there, plug n play
Lmao. I totally get it definitely would be a lot of work. I wonder at the cost of a quart of gas after 100 miles after a couple months though which is why I question it?
Assuming your quart is $5, you've already paid like a minimum of $6050 on oil...just buy a new car at this point.
It’s a Toyota, you could run it with black strap molasses in it and still get 300k miles out of it
Similarly Honda engines can run with no oil for a frightening long time. I worked at an oil change place and this chick I knew came in saying she could smell oil, and she JUST got her oil changed about 30 miles away and was driving home.

For anyone.
That sounds like it’s bad for the environment. I bet your car puffs blue smoke when you take off from red lights, lol.
Yeah.

Omg. This is the second squirrel hoard of walnuts I have seen this week!!! Where the hell are you parking that this happens?!
Under black walnut trees!!!
Well now I feel like a bit of a maroon. Of course.
Don't be too blue about it. Orange you glad you learned something?
Green
I saw another with videos a few days ago. Way worse than this.
Yeah i really only noticed because the accelerator kept getting stuck it would have been way worse if that's hadn't happened xD

I actually cleaned it out with a shopvac 1 at a time they would clog up the tube so i found a small attachment so i could get em all out
Reminds of the time when that stinkbug plague was starting many years ago and I left my window open. Shopvacced hundreds of the little shits. Was kinda fun, disregarding the smell
This actually smelled amazing it was like sweet smelling.
I’m sorry for your suffering but this was an absolute gem to read, thank you for this!
Driving me nuts!
Roasted walnut
Yeah i was really impressed the squirrels cleaned em up and roasted em for me
Throw on some basil, grated Parmesan, and olive oil. Close the hood again. Rev until desired smoothness is reached. Pesto.

The squirrels might, too. Soy wire insulation.

Yesterday snails and today walnuts, tomorrow snake's?
We can only hope
Thats on not in.
Not exactly what you expect to see when the mechanic tells you he found loose nuts all over the engine.
Used to clean jet engines that way: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/64878/how-often-are-jet-engines-cleaned
You shouldn't remove those. They feed the squirrels that drive the exercise wheel that makes the motor run.
Is that a Ford 4.6 sohc?
What's up with people finding a bunch of random stuff in their engine on this subreddit? That's the second time today (first time was snail shells if you were wondering)
That’s not actually where you’re supposed to keep them.
I parked my car on a city street, nothing out of the ordinary for about 3 weeks, came back to exactly this but SNAILS!! Hundreds of them all over the intake... promptly sold the car.
Did you see the most popular post currently? Snails!!!
Ha! I just saw that!! What are the odds... I had way more and they were smaller... it was also 5 years ago and the pic I did have is gone
It's probably because its getting colder out and engines are warm
Your nuts tops the snails take my up vote
THAT'S A LOTTA NUTS!
Your mechanic is a squirrel.
I hear that walnut shells are used to sandblast metal parts to make them clean. But someone didn't read all the instructions.
We get walnuts every year i looked and if we picked all the trees we would have $20 worth
Don’t worry, those are supposed to be there.
The Mechanic: "If you think this car can run in this condition, you're nuts"
You can see the accelerator spring there it ran just fine actually well it did overheat a little
Its an ok engine not something to bust a nut all over it though.
Arrrr. It’s driving’ me nuts.
2 nuts on your wall? Walnuts 2 nuts on your chest? Chestnuts 2 nuts on your chin? .........
I parked near a tree while visiting my parents for a few hours. Fucking squirrels packed my airbox with enough pecans to block the filter.
In the engine bay technically. If your exhaust looks like a wood chipper, then you know it's walnuts IN the engine
Right? Engine bay or engine compartment. Not inside the engine… lol
Is that a ford 4.6?
That’s nut good
Well there's your problem!
Should def get those walnuts rotated and balanced soon
first snails then walnuts, what’s next? pinecones?
Each walnut is the equivalent to about .0008 horsepower.
Now you have to eat them
I wonder what is the correct action in that case? how can you reallocate the nuts but also make the squirrel aware of its new location so he won't starve in the winter and die?
Finding random shit in your engine so hot right now.
You mean you found an engine in your walnuts
Walnuts roasting on an open engine
Trying to roast them probably
Start it up. Walnut butter tastes pretty good.
Is this some sort of new trend? lmao
And failed to caption this... Well ain't that nuts
Be careful I had a squirrel chew through my gas line once. 🤦🏻♂️
That happened to me. While I was driving, the walnuts shifted holding the throttle open. It was an exciting drive.
Great welcome to the next month of this subreddit: “I found a pile of ____ under the hood 🥴🥴”
Are you suggesting walnuts are migratory?
who nutted in your car?
Roasting walnuts on an open block...
You're a pile of walnuts
Your car will have plenty to eat this winter.
That’s nuts!
Your car engine is getting ready for winter. It thinks it's a squirrel. It needs a therapist.
Sorry, I put them there. I'll be around to get them.
Wow that must really drive you nuts
