a post in the subreddit "frugal".

the post reads: "Christmas hamster were on sale, now I need ideas!

Actually bought it about a week ago. Just couldn't resist the sale price but once I got home I realized I had no idea what to do with all this meat for 1 or 2 people. I threw it in the freezer in a panic. Once I take it out, defrost and cook it, what the hell is one woman supposed to do with about 8 pounds of ham?

Edit: silly, stupid typo. I promise I'm not trying to cook a hamster! Just a regular ham 😅"

the first reply is a picture of a hamster screamingALT

okay I think I’ve found my favorite reddit post of all time.

"you know, it's really irresponsible to impulse purchase a pet without doing the proper research and preparation beforehand so that you can provide a good home for the animaoooOOOOOHHHH MY GOD oh it's a typo."ALT
“Christmas hamster” and “I don’t know what to do with all this meat” was a good way to make many jaws dropALT

“Really confused--first mad that yet another person bought a pet they didn't research about beforehand...but, but then you started talking about having enough meat for 1 - 2 people 😭”

No judgment here, I'm from Alabama. Just throw some hot sauce on that bad boy. 🐹ALT
