What’s with all the platypus hate around here. They are adorable. A baby platypus is called a puggle. Here’s some puggles

Part of the "hate" is at the disinformation. The toy in the upper left was made in 2019. Puggles are cute enough as is, we don't have to pretend they're merchandise. www.deviantart.com/yulialeonovi...

Ok chill out I didn’t know.

I already have, I put weasel quotes around "hate" indicating it's not quite hate. For example, I "hate" facebook posts that get passed around with an artist's watermark removed. On the flip side, I like that baby echidnas are also called puggles and are just as adorable.

Sorry I thought your tone was off but that’s the thing about being online. Adooorable

Part of it is probably "I'm old". I type things the way I've used them online (AIM/ICQ/IRC/etc.) since the 90s. I beg your pardon if that sounded like it was directed at you rather than whoever altered the artwork of the toy. The removal of watermarks is a pet peeve of mine.

Well, funny you should say that. www.puggle.com/product/pugg...

Who could hate those? They’re just a platypus. They don’t do much.

Except for be extremely cute

I think it's mostly about the venomous spikes. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Huh?

Boy platypuses have venomous spikes on their back legs!

Hey, now what are a few venomous spikes among friends? Like how is that worse that talking to friends who have gotten face-plant drunk? I have actually had to say, “No, I do not want to hear about leprechauns anymore” and “we are NOT driving off the road to get to his gold!”

This is a fair point. But I have to say that the side quest for gold retrieval IS always a temptation.

True, but this person probably could not see his shoes at this point—one too many brewery tours

Who on Earth is hating on nature's Pixar creation?

Wait who's hating on platypuses?! They didn't do anything wrong. Leave the beaverducks alone!

Platypi are so lovely

I know the actual Greek for platypus is platypodes, but they're so cute they deserve creative naming

They're so ridiculously cute 🥰 that first one is a toy 💖

Easily one of my favorite animals in existence.

My new fav I can’t stop watching videos

They ARE magic.

The platypus is proof that sometimes God gets high and makes stuff

If I had a nickel...
