Depends on your definition of domesticated, but pet racoons already exist.

Oh. In my defense, I just saw 3 pizza memes in a row and thought it was the next “Stör” Event.
Ich komme aus den USA. Was ist mit Pizza passiert? Ich sehe viele Pizza Mai Mais
I actually sleep better after reading about serial killers, but that’s probably because I stayed up late binging Wikipedia articles on them.
If it comes to the USA, it’s too late. The recent outbreak has cemented in the minds of Americans that this is a Gay™ disease, and it only affects those pesky Gays. Therefore, the vaccine will be refused in even higher amounts than other vaccines. “I’m not a Gay. I don’t have to worry about it.”
Interesting, robot faces made with living skin have quite the opposite effect on me.
I’m gonna add to this by saying phosphorus may be my favorite, but I think the most likely filter is just time, twice.
Do you know how unlikely it is that earth has been habitable for so long? Do you know how long life was single-celled? One of the theories for how advanced (eukaryotic) cells formed was the combination of at least three different branches of life into the same cell! Archaea (cell wall), bacteria (mitochondria/chloroplasts), and viruses (nucleus). Do you know how unlikely that sounds? Do you know how long it would take for that to happen randomly? Most planets probably aren’t even habitable for that long. Once we became eukaryotic, we started progressing much faster.
Then, keep in mind, the life has to continue to exist for billions of more years while it waits for the advanced life to happen again within the same section of the galaxy. So, time is two filters - both behind us and in front of us.
My favorite filter is the amount of phosphorous in the universe. Earth has an unusually high amount, and it’s vital for life. I like this one, because as more stars die, the amount of phosphorous goes up, implying we won’t be alone forever.
Anyway, look up “Issac Arthur” on YouTube for HOURS of content about the Fermi paradox and potential great filters.

This is the “Lagrangian standard model” - the mathematical formula explaining basically all physics as we know it.
When you DON’T assume spherical chickens in a vacuum, this is what you gotta calculate.
Women, you can wear men’s underwear, it’s legal!
Use the front pouch as a bun warmer. You’re welcome.
It’s a type of fish, and they are making word plays with the name of the fish. Why? I’m not sure of the origin of this one. I imagine it’s like the beans or the beef stroganoff memes - the origin doesn’t matter much at this point.
You’ve heard of the bird flu outbreak in cattle in the US that infected (at least) three humans, right? We are animals, and many animals can potentially give us diseases regardless of their domestication status.
If you’re thinking specifically about rabies, there is a vaccine for raccoons.
