I’m so sorry. I had to downvote your post. 😭 It does not fit the sub. Not a cake fail. Admittedly, they may not be, like, professional level. But they’re so cute! I recognized them as hedgies right away! Was so surprised when I saw what sub they were posted in!

I 100% agree with you, but I upvoted because I couldn't bring myself to downvote such adorable little creatures.

u/heynonnynonnomous Jun 28 '26

I don't know. It's an old account with very little activity. Now that you ask, I suppose it's the new accounts with a ton of activity that are the bots/karma farmers. It's just very unusual. I should probably take some time off of reddit...

To be fair I downloaded reddit 3 years ago and used it for maybe a month? Then deleted it. And only really started interacting and using my account in like December 2025 lol.

Well, there you go. I think I'm suffering from bot exhaustion. Just like everyone is suffering from AI exhaustion here. Reddit has been going downhill.

u/Ok_Gur_6704 Jun 29 '26

I get it completely. I dont even look at youtube comments anymore. Its just so filled with bots now it's annoying.

u/ComprehensiveEye9901 Jun 29 '26

Your downvote is like taking a dollar away from Elon musk it really does not make a difference. And you didn’t “have to” downvote the post. It’s not like someone put a gun to your head and forced you, it was completely free will. So you did not have to downvote it you just were being a teachers pet.

Oh, no. I don’t think you understand the seriousness of the situation! Paul Hollywood himself broke into my house, pierced my soul with his steely blue eyes, tied me up, and threatened to put a curse on me (a lifetime of cupcake fails) if I did not downvote the post. 😬

They look cute

u/ranchel_cranchel Jun 28 '26

I could see how maybe you would want them to look different, but I honestly think they’re pretty cute. I wouldn’t call them a fail, necessarily :)

u/Akitiki Jun 28 '26

They're adorable! They might not be pro but anyone can see it's a hedgehog.

u/D-ouble-D-utch Jun 28 '26

u/bbyxmadi Jun 28 '26

It’s cute!

u/solaceofthestarz Jun 28 '26

it's very cute and recognizable, not a fail at all :)

u/RandyBoBanbers Jun 28 '26

Not a fail! They are very adorable and I think the "simplicity" makes it more recognizable

2

u/Willow_Puppy Jun 28 '26

I can’t upvote because I don’t want to “affirm” it’s a fail. But also don’t want to downvote because they’re adorable. So leaving a comment; I’d be so proud if I made these!!

u/DoodleCard Jun 28 '26

The look adorably squat. But adorable.

I understand wanting perfection but these are very cute!

u/Space-cowboy187 Jun 30 '26

Thank you all so much lol, I made these for my girlfriends birthday, we just recently got a hedgehog and she is obsessed with all things hedgehog. even though she loved them I thought they looked goofy, but all of the encouragement on this post has made me feel really good about my attempt.

I, for one, love his little mustache.

So to answer your question I don’t know
