Look Folks, It's a Hippotato

From time to time, I see a post around here of strange looking veggies and fruits. I have shared a few of my own over the years, such as a tomato I grew some years back that looked kind of like a snowman shape that I drew a face and tuxedo on and posted a picture of it. I encountered this one on X where the question was asked, "Do you see a dog or a cat?" I immediately saw a hippopotamus. How about you? I would like to call this a "hippotato."

I thought so too. Not even sure how anyone could get a dog or a cat out of that. lol

At what point did anyone see a cat or a dog in that photo? That is clearly a hippo! LOL

My thoughts exactly. Maybe more people need glasses than are wearing them? lol

@moffittjc Hmm. You may be right about that. Now that I think about it, if someone would have simply called it out for what it was, no one would have bothered to comment it wasn't what it was suggested to be.

@porwest True... At least you don't have a herd of them running around.

It’s definitely a hippo potato.

If this is not AI generated I wonder how nature turned this potato into a hippo one.

@porwest I’ve seen some weird carrots and cherries that have male genitalia looking thing on it. Never weird potatoes lol.

I have a strong, sneaking suspicion that this is, in fact, AI generated, or if not, is very much photoshopped. Either way, it's still cute and funny to me. lol

Yes, that’s definitely a hippo. “Hippotato.” That’s brilliant.

I thought so too when I thought of it. I like to think I can be quite witty sometimes. Well...probably all in my head, but hey, you have to take your wins when you can. For all I know, my "hippotato" take wasn't even original.

That's really cute. Our sweet potatoes were silly at times, even though delicious.

Sometimes our veggies do take on funny shapes. I do admit I am pretty sure this potato is either photoshopped or AI. Either way...

We agree. It can be nothing else BUT a hippo. Someone on FB commented they thought it looked like a rhino. I was like, no way in Hell that's a rhino. lol
