I don't think I would find this comfortable

Ah, hello "Let's Get High And Go To The Pet Store" person. I've not encountered your ilk in nearly 26 years, when I worked at a pet store. I recall your kind, coming into the store reeking like a skunk. "Bro, can we see the snakes?" you'd ask. I'd indulge. Until the Burmese python incident. One hand streaming blood, the other being constricted. My manager having to pry the snake's hook like teeth off my thumb. You and your friends now intently watching the rhythms of the saltwater fish...

People say they slept like a baby, but have you ever slept like a hamster?

I can't imagine that would be comfy. That's a lot of weight on the ol' bean bag.

Nice? Trust me, if you are not a hamster, that can NOT be nice.

Just keeping his babies warm and safe

[–] Daviino@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I mean, if you can, you can.

cruelty to animals (isolation, pellets on ground that aren't comfortable enough to make a bed. a hard hard floor under the pellets, day after day of misery and tedium and a form of sensory deprivation, having to use his own body as a pillow because of horrible cruelty) isn't actually funny!

[–] Pirat@lemmy.org 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It looks like the cage has cedar chips on the bottom which is softer than the packed dirt this creature would sleep on in the wild.

[–] someone@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're missing the point... if you have a bunch of soft small cedar chips, they are going to shift while sleeping and some part of your hamster body is going to be on hard man-made material on the floor of a cage that is a lot harder than dirt and grass and leaves.

[–] Pirat@lemmy.org 1 points 1 day ago

As someone who raised hamsters, I can tell you that the hamster does not go through the cedar shaving unless the hamster wants to. Of course, I always made sure they had a couple inch layer of shavings. Sometimes, the hamster would push them aside because they liked the cool metal floor but that was their choice. On the other hand, they are also free to pile the shavings up even deeper and just cover themselves. You act like they have no choice in the matter.

ok well the dude is high so he don't be thinkin about what's funny or not

[–] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 1 points 3 days ago

One definition of humor is pain plus distance. The pain is possibly moderate, and the distance for me to do that is impossible to bridge. Sounds pretty funny to me.
