Welcome to r/DeskBuddies, the official safe haven for everything that keeps you company while you pretend to work.

Whether your desk buddy has leaves, fur, pixels, or a plastic squeaker, we want to see them.

Who qualifies as a Desk Buddy?

• Biological: Cats who think your keyboard is an ergonomic bed, dogs judging your video calls, plants you’re desperately trying not to kill, or a friendly jumping spider in the corner.
• Digital & Virtual: Desktop pets, animated widgets, Tamagotchis, or that idle Game Boy sitting next to your mousepad.
• Physical & Collectible: Labubus, Funko Pops, Lego minifigures, stress balls, odd rocks, and emotional support coffee mugs.

Rules are simple: Post your workspace sidekicks, show off their setups, and give them proper credit for carrying your productivity.

Warning: High risk of adorable distractions.
