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."

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

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.

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