You’re skipping the first part of my statement. I can tell you didn’t own an hamster either.

Lets say the hamster successfully parachuted down safely to the ground outside of a 4 story building. Hamsters can run quickly and squeeze into impossibly small places. There is a good chance the hamster, now unattended, would run away and escape. Hamster owners know this.

Here’s a perfect example from a random youtube search. Hamster running away outside. 7 second. Thats how long it took for the unattended hamster to disappear into the underbrush. In this clip the owner was right there and able to recapture the hamster. A 9 year old would not be able to traverse 4 flights of stairs in under 10 seconds.

A 9 year hamster owner knows this too.

I did own a hamster, when I was 6 years old.
I also didn’t know shit because, I was 6 years old,
and I don’t know about the challenges of chasing a hamster (which has something to do with yeeting it out of the window, somehow?) because I didn’t yeet a hamster out of the window,
and even if I did I wouldn’t remember it well because I was 6 years old.

What kind of child were you at either of those ages, sheldon_cooper@lemmy.world?

  I did own a hamster, when I was 6 years old.
  
  I didn’t get my first hamster until I was 8. Anon apparently has one at 9.
  
  I also didn’t know shit, because I was 6 years old,
  
  Sure, but we’re talking about a kid 50% older than 6 years old. There’s a lot of cognitive growth between those 3 years. I don’t think you’d say you were as stupid at 9 as you were at 6 are you?
  
  and I don’t know about the challenges of chasing a hamster (which has something to do with yeeting it out of the window, somehow?)
  
  I don’t know why I have to walk you through this, but okay: If anon at 9 assumed that the hamster would safely parachute down to the ground 4 stories down, then the moment that hamster was unguarded, it would bolt. A 9 year old that has ever taken their hamster outside knows this. A 9 year old typically doesn’t want to lose their pet. So this was why I said that anon never had a hamster (as in this post is fake).
  
  and even if I did I wouldn’t remember it well because I was 6 years old.
  
  You don’t remember anything from when you were 9 years old (as Anon was)? Are you saying if you had a pet at 9 you have no memory of it today? That…wouldn’t be normal.
