  Typical hampter hijinks

  100% sure they used the hamster as a fridge magnet.

  Can you imagine being the hamster?

  Like you think you got some food or something for your nest, and you being it back, and suddenly this magic force attaches you to the cage.
  I wonder if the hamster knew it the force came from the magnet, or if it thought some unfathomable invisible being just reached out and stuck it there.

      How do they work

    Am physicist, unfathomable invisible being reaching out to attract random shit together is my best understanding of magnets anyway.

      For anyone whose magnet related memories are not filled with various line illustrations of the forces, that’s probably it.

      And even though my head is full of those illustrations, I don’t seem to understand how the iron fillings and ferrofluids make the shapes they do instead of just sticking to the magnet. And I am too lazy to do the maths to make myself understand.

  Fuck me, y’all believe anything. Ever seen a trapped rodent?! Think it just sat there and said, “Oh well. This is my life now.”?

    The hamster just sitting there doesn’t surprise me. The thing that I question is whether they picked him up at all to try and feed him or see if he was okay. Because surely if they picked him up then he would’ve perked up and moved around? Or at least moved and ate a bit?

    Aren’t there whole studies on how they’ll do exactly that?

    Me and my brother had a trio of gerbils. One of them died from depression. He was in the same cage as the others, he was treated with love like the others, he just stopped eating and died.

    The other two didn’t give a single fuck.

      Some of the smartest people on earth see the bad side and no course correction for humanity, so they end it.

  My wife is a vet technician at an ER hospital. Her stories range from hilarious to heartbreaking. Glad this one had a happy ending.

  I wonder what went through the mind of that hamster as it sat there for 3 days with its face stuck to the wall. Like that would FUCK UP a human. We made a whole damn movie about the guy who got his hand trapped under a rock that one time.

    No you wanna know how fucked up a human can get:

    Frank Herbert wrote an entire series of novels about a guy who put his finger in a box and was told “An animal caught in a trap will gnaw its leg off to survive.” Then the dude goes on to cause 66 billion deaths and have a son that lives for 7500 years as a giant worm/human hybrid

      What, no hamster?

    Ez, it’s obviously fake (the hamster would try to move & it’s not like you don’t notice a magnet stuck to a cage either).

      Yeah, right. Nothing ever happens.

      Considering the little girl brought it in, it’s definitely more plausible she wouldn’t notice the magnet. And considering the amount of parents who give hamsters as pets and never take any responsibility over it themselves, even more so.

      But I’d also assume, with no real insight into the behavior of hamsters, that one in this situation would wind up either tearing it’s cheek off (depending on the strength of the magnet) or figuring out it can dislodge / move enough to free it.

  This is a much happier ending than I thought it would be at the beginning.

    I thought the hamster was going to have been dead the whole time
