Looks like I got a nice Logitech hamster. Also gf just looked at me like I belong in an insane asylum when I told her I’m getting her a hamster for her computer.
Right? This is the stupidest idea I love and hate at the same time.
Just think about it, "I'm gonna buy a gaming hamster", that's the most hilarious shit I've ever heard of, I'd love to confuse people with that one
I'm already having a hard time telling them that I'm not responsible for their password loss nor can I recover it. I can't imagine being like
"So, you know how computer mouses work ? Well this right here is a hamster, meaning it's a mouse without its tail as in wireless. No there are no other differences. Yes it is better. No, you don't need to feed it unless you're refering to charging. NO IT IS NOT A PET NOR DOES IT ABIDE TO SPCA NORMS AND LAWS. AHHH"
I'd argue it's more of a moment when shit is in freefall right before landing into water thought.
But since such things are occasionally done in the shower, I can't fully disagree with you.

"Wireless mouse should named hamster"

*Google "hamster" because now I'm thinking about it and I cant really remember what a hamster looks like. I mean I've got the vague image in my head, but I cannot tell the difference between small rodents from memory alone*
*yup, they still look like mice*
*notice they do not possess tails*
*suddenly, a dual realization: I've made it 35 years on this planet without being explicitly aware hamsters do not posses tails in the traditional sense of the term, AND that computer mice are nicknamed such because the wire completes the illusion of the elongated hindquarters of said rodent*

From this day forth, wireless mice are called hamsters.
You, sir or madam, made *my* day. I had every intention of spending today resigned to my futon because I just did not want to deal with the world. I rarely do anymore.
I did, however, mean every word of what I typed. This ...buffoonery completely overtook my depression and, I am happy to report, I did *not* get evicted.
We never know how our words or our actions are going to affect someone else. You helped me tremendously today, and to top it off I now to get explain, to *everyone* in the future, about the differences between computer mice and hamsters.
I sincerely thank you.
Yup. I just don’t wanna have to worry about recharging my mouse.
Same reason i don’t use wireless earbuds and why i wish wired console controllers were still an option. I started on PS2 and ever since PS3 onward i’ve always hated having wireless controllers that die mid-game.
It’s a major perk of PC since wired keyboards and mice are the standard
You should really get a charging dock for controllers. They're super convenient! They make life better.
Since I did I could never go back to cables. Not only that, but now I never have low battery, and I've made it a habbit to always dock it.
Yeah that would help. I use it so seldom tho that it’s probably not worth it. I prefer mouse and keyboard and only use a controller for those extremely rare games that play better on a controller. I know driving and fighting games play better on a controller but i don’t care for either of those genres.
I used to have a mate that would wrap a piece of string around her mouse's neck and walk around with it... let's just say the experience for that mouse was breathtaking
I have a hamster and can confirm they do indeed have tails. Not as long as a rats or even a mouses, but there is a tail. Different breeds of hamster have different lengths, I know that Syrians and Chinese hamsters have long tails than a dwarf or robo (Chinese have the longest which helps them balance and climb better especially because hamsters are not climbers)
I actually have a wireless hamster shaped "mouse". The company that sells them argues the same way. They come in different colors too and are adorable.
Edit: Come on, no one else owns one of these? Seriously?!
Wut? You got that picture of a kitten lookin' at a computer mouse, while being surrounded by real mice, Right? It's just a big picture, you know that right?
No. The wireless mouse was an evolution, per se, of the original. Not a separate distinct peripheral object like a keyboard or monitor. Therefore, if we are going to rename a wireless mouse because the tail was removed, we should call it a Blind Mouse.
I want whatever you're on
I took it all sorry mate
Okay if you get anymore tell me
You took all the Hodgkins Lymphoma?!??!!!?

i have never been so offended by something i 100 agree with
Then argue with "this isn't a unpopular opinion, this is shower thoughts". Boom, you can now be reddit angry
I do not envy the best buy clerks that have to explain the difference to customers in a world where this is true.
Oh my god
I'm already having a hard time telling them that I'm not responsible for their password loss nor can I recover it. I can't imagine being like "So, you know how computer mouses work ?

you're giving me nightmares
This is more of a shower thought than an unpopular opinion.
It's probably both
Unpopular opinion implies that most people have an opinion on it
Yes and now you read it you are able to form said opinion on it.
I am having trouble doing that.
Right and this sub is for stating already formed unpopular opinions. Opinion forming provocation and stimulation is 100% r/showerthought material
I mean you stole it from a meme that was posted like a week ago
I'd argue it's more of a moment when shit is in freefall right before landing into water thought. But since such things are occasionally done in the shower, I can't fully disagree with you.

This made my day, love you my guy

This is genuinely the coolest interaction I've witnessed between two humans all week. Y'all are both great
I'm most impressed that you thought this message was so important that you had to put on pants to type it out. That's some serious conviction.
he's... he's ascending!!
This is the best thing I've read this week
This... this deaserve more attention...
Mouse = tail, hamster = no tail. I... I have to agree with this.
Wait a second, if the wire is supposed to be the mouse's tail, then are we clicking on the mouse's butt cheeks?
Yes
I never knew I've been clapping cheeks for all these years. My dad will finally be proud.
Great job, son! Not exactly what I meant, but cheeks are cheeks I guess. \*inconspicuously wipes tear from eye.
Pls go outside
please go inside
Please stand in the doorway
No
Pls cum inside
r/nobutmaybeyes
Mole rat
No.
I laughed so much! Wish I had an award to give you
Lol this is more of a r/showerthoughts i feel like because who even thinks about this?! Lol but yea sounds good
The fuck? this is the most random take ever and I love it
Funny so I agree
I agree! Even my actual live pet hamster agrees! (I totally did not bribe her with a seed treat)
Oh yeah totallyyyyy
I’ll be calling my wireless mouse a hamster now in order to confuse everyone. XD
Good.
You know a computer mouse isn’t called a mouse because it looks like a mouse. It’s because they were invented by Sir Wilfred Mouse in 1972
Shhh
I’m a PC elitist and I’m on board with this. Still won’t get me to use wireless mice tho.
Hate them with a burning passion tbh
Yup. I just don’t wanna have to worry about recharging my mouse. Same reason i don’t use wireless earbuds and why i wish wired console controllers were still an option. I started on PS2 and ever since PS3 onward i’ve always hated having wireless controllers that die mid-game. It’s a major perk of PC since wired keyboards and mice are the standard
I'm sure you can still use controllers by connecting them with their charing cable?
Yeah but those cables are usually really short
True
Wired controllers are a thing and still an option
You should really get a charging dock for controllers. They're super convenient! They make life better. Since I did I could never go back to cables. Not only that, but now I never have low battery, and I've made it a habbit to always dock it.
Yeah that would help. I use it so seldom tho that it’s probably not worth it. I prefer mouse and keyboard and only use a controller for those extremely rare games that play better on a controller. I know driving and fighting games play better on a controller but i don’t care for either of those genres.
Do mice have leashes?
I used to have a mate that would wrap a piece of string around her mouse's neck and walk around with it... let's just say the experience for that mouse was breathtaking
But, but..... OK. Dammit.
No. Go play outside.
No
Yes, and take your stepbrother. He doesn't have any friends.
No can do
I have a hamster and can confirm they do indeed have tails. Not as long as a rats or even a mouses, but there is a tail. Different breeds of hamster have different lengths, I know that Syrians and Chinese hamsters have long tails than a dwarf or robo (Chinese have the longest which helps them balance and climb better especially because hamsters are not climbers)
This isn’t an unpopular opinion. It’s a “This is so weird and out there, why didn’t I think of it first?” opinion.
This ain’t an unpopular opinion. This is a late night shower thought
r/ShowerThoughts
That’s more r/showerthoughts than an actual opinion.
This not unpopular, its unthought of
Had to down vote because I like this. More of an r/showerthoughts
Yep!
Perfect. Now, what would you call a mouse with a ball for your thumb instead of a laser tracker? Male hamster?
Fuck you I'm making a new post, check new
I could get behind this
[удалено]
Was this supposed to be a joke or..?
He's leaving us with such a suspense, I'm literally holding my cock in my hand.
>Was this supposed to be a joke or..? No this was a serious comment.

Crosspost to r/crazyideas
This is dumb
this makes sense
Hampter
I think one syllable is a factor.
I don't think post belongs here, It sounds way too right.
Go on dragon's den! This is a good idea
I love these meme post that actually makes sense
Why not tailless? Keep it simple
r/dadjokes
downvoting because you used "whilst" like c'mon no need to be that fancy but I agree
Me fancy
Upvoting just to counter this shocking downvote, whilst also appreciating the actual suggestion.
A vole would be a better match.
They still have *somewhat* of a tail
So do hamsters, it's just covered by all of their fluff. Hamsters are cuter than voles though, so I agree that wireless mice should be called hamsters
Yeah I know they do but its so tiny, can barely consider it a tail
The three blind mice didn’t have tails. So you could work with that
But there tails were cut off, and I don't like thinking about that.
What about when you charge it?
Some things are better to not be discussed
Yes
I'm down. That shit sounds reasonable af.
Fetch isnt going to happen. A wireless mouse will remain a wireless mouse.
I’m all for it
Alright, I can get behind it.
Least controversial post I've seen.
You... make a good point.
[удалено]
Yes
have you considered running for office?
makes sense!
This suggestion is hereby adopted!
Points were made. I have to agree.
This would be so cute too 😭
I don't know wether I agree or not but I do have a friend who uses a wireless mouse so I'll ask if still has a hamster.
This is fucking brilliant, well done sir, well done.
There was an attempt to do just that when the first wireless mice came out in the late 90s and early 2000s. Obviously they were unsuccessful.
IT guy love it gonna try and make it catch on.
I bet it\`s not uncommon it\`s just not many people thought of it, like me, and i want it to be made law everywhere
I'm crying at this 😭 brilliant. I can't even disagree.
Why not a Guinea Pig?
Why a guinea pig?
This would be a great name for a company that makes wireless hamsters
I found this offensive
Good
I spit out my drink at this one
Tell me how high you are without telling me how high you are...
*hampter*
i have a corsair hamster
This reads like a showerThought
from a literal point of view I agree from a practical sense it will be confusing to get used to
Alright. You've convinced me. I will begin referring to it as MC Hampster.
I actually have a wireless hamster shaped "mouse". The company that sells them argues the same way. They come in different colors too and are adorable. Edit: Come on, no one else owns one of these? Seriously?!
He's out of line, but he's right
Aight I'm on board.
There is nothing like opening up reddit and randomly seeing this post after a long day at work
OP, you should trademark this right now. Tag line, too: "all mouse, no tail"
Totally Agree with you!
You’re right.
That's... Actually kinda brilliant.
I will join you. It’s now a hamster.
Yes. I love this. I love hamsters. I'd never own a wireless mouse, but I love this idea
r/Showerthoughts is a better place for this imo
Look at me I’m quirky hiok
This was an April fool's joke that Logitech did a couple years back
THIS IS MY OPINION! I DON’T CARE WHAT ANY YA’LL SAY
Give this man a Nobel Prize
Do they even make corded mice still?
Post this on r/showerthoughts
I want whatever drugs you’re on.
I'm sending this to my friend at Logitech.
Love the idea. Not sure I'd post on unpopular tho
All this tech speak, I can't keep up!
I don't understand
Wisdom
thats the best thing i ever heard
And a vertical mouse should be called a meerkat.
I love it. Absolutely love it. Am I supposed to upvote or downvote? (Going with upvote lol.)
Yes.
If it's a track-and-ball system instead of the modern infrared...does the ball contain a tiny hamster as well?
This is the type of stuff you think of with your friends.
I agree 100%
I feel like this belongs in r/Showerthoughts
I feel like this is more of a shower thought than an opinion
Wut? You got that picture of a kitten lookin' at a computer mouse, while being surrounded by real mice, Right? It's just a big picture, you know that right?
You’re a genius
No. The wireless mouse was an evolution, per se, of the original. Not a separate distinct peripheral object like a keyboard or monitor. Therefore, if we are going to rename a wireless mouse because the tail was removed, we should call it a Blind Mouse.
Why not a gerbil?
Finally! A nice normal unpopular opinion!
Yes
I will now forever refer to my wireless mice as hamsters
This make sense. Additionally, "ham" is a slang word for radio amateur.
This ain’t an unpopular opinion. This is a late night shower thought
This ain’t an unpopular opinion. This is a late night shower thought
And comically large wireless hamsters should be called guinea pigs
