Fluffy Little Hammers

So the latest update to iOS caused my wallpaper to crash. It has carried over somehow as my wallpaper when I last got a new phone and transferred all my apps and such - but NOT any of my photos (which is where the image I used for my wallpaper was stored). So I don’t really know how it managed to work for over a year before showing nothing but blackness but anyhow I had to search for some new wallpaper. I did a search on pintrest because my searches on google kept leading me to sites that wanted me to create accounts. And all of the results I was getting were abstract, minimalist, and/or geometric. Things like this:

or like this:

And then suddenly I halted my scrolling in shock as the topmost hamster image appeared among all the swooshes and tetxtures and raindrops and gradients - all completely non-figurative imagery. I leaned over to my friend who was sitting next to me and asked “Is this a cup?” and they said “Definitely. A two-handled cup.” and I was like “I thought there was another name for those. But people drink out of them?” and they were like “Yes” and so I am posting it here. The extreme aberration in my wallpaper searching. (I am not using it as wallpaper. For that I chose the following:)

Etsy seller BreadandBadger is currently selling a green and terra-cotta hamster pet portrait mug (the white and dark brown mug shown in this image has already been purchased, but you can order a replica if you are willing to be on a waitlist) HERE

And guess what? They’re double-sided! The product description starts with the sentence “ Hamsters have super cute faces–and fluffy sploot butts! “ and on these mugs you get to see BOTH!:
