Jun 15, 2026, 3:30 PMWell, it happened: We crammed our way into a crowded intercity train and someone was like WOW IT’S ODIN FROM MASTODON

It astounds me that I routinely post photos that look like they must be perspective tricks (that is a normal human adult loveseat couch) and people still say “he’s bigger than I thought” when they see my tiny baby in real life
Jun 15, 2026, 3:33 PM@0xabad1dea Odin is a celebrity!! :blobcatAwauu:
Jun 15, 2026, 3:35 PM@0xabad1dea my wife saw a big dog the other day and said “wait is that Odin from mastodon?” 😂.
woe2youwoe2you@beige.partyJun 15, 2026, 3:32 PM@0xabad1dea I hope the fame doesn't go to his head.
an actual busrenardboy@mastodon.socialJun 15, 2026, 4:03 PM@woe2you @0xabad1dea meh, there's room
(not cause it's empty, cause it's so large)
dram🎀dramforever@mastodon.socialJun 15, 2026, 3:54 PM@0xabad1dea mastodin
Jun 15, 2026, 4:01 PM@0xabad1dea I wonder if I would actually do that were I in the same situation
- abadidea0xabad1dea@infosec.exchangeJun 15, 2026, 4:21 PM
@me you specifically I’d kind of expect to pass out from excitement 😂
ToroidalCoretoroidalcore@masto.hackers.townJun 15, 2026, 4:03 PM@0xabad1dea This proves that you can in fact become an internet celebrity on this platform.
Hal Pomeranzhal_pomeranz@infosec.exchangeJun 15, 2026, 4:04 PM@0xabad1dea @briankrebs Poor Maddie doesn’t leave our house, so she doesn’t get to meet her fans.
Jun 15, 2026, 4:23 PM@0xabad1dea you should immediately release an Odincoin to his adoring fans!
Michael Cookfoobarsoft@mastodon.socialJun 15, 2026, 4:30 PM@0xabad1dea Perhaps the regular human mind just isn’t capable of perceiving the pure size of fluffball that is Odin.
I’d probably do the same, honestly.
Marcos Dionemdione@en.osm.townJun 15, 2026, 4:32 PM@0xabad1dea do you know how tall they are? And curiously, does the height changes between sitting and standing on all fours?
- abadidea0xabad1dea@infosec.exchangeJun 15, 2026, 4:42 PM
@mdione oh there’s quite a big difference. Standing normally, he’s not particularly high, because his legs aren’t that long compared to his nose-to-tail length. But I can touch his head while we’re walking next to each other without bending down.
Sitting upright, his head is above my waist.
Standing like people, his paws are on my shoulders and his nose is up by my forehead. (I’m 5’9” / 175cm)
- Marcos Dionemdione@en.osm.townJun 15, 2026, 4:56 PM
@0xabad1dea OK, they're probably taller than my younguest!
Julia Racskojuliaro@mastodon.artJun 15, 2026, 5:21 PM@0xabad1dea @mdione Then Odin is probably taller than me! I always wanted to be enveloped by an oversized dog hug
🆘Bill Cole 🇺🇦grumpybozo@toad.socialJun 15, 2026, 5:46 PM@0xabad1dea @mdione LOL... He makes you look much shorter.
gameshack_ :verified:gameshack_@infosec.exchangeJun 15, 2026, 4:33 PM@0xabad1dea maybe add banana for scale
AskPippa🇨🇦AskPippa@c.imJun 15, 2026, 4:35 PM@0xabad1dea How about tee-shirts with a photo of the hairy wonder with "It's Odin from Mastodon!" written on it.
Jun 15, 2026, 4:39 PM@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange i think what would shock me more is to learn that he's not in a permanent state of slight upset like his face seems to indicate
- abadidea0xabad1dea@infosec.exchangeJun 15, 2026, 6:29 PM
@hannah he was begging for bacon in this picture. I would characterize his default emotions as being “sleepy” followed by “polite, quiet befuddlement”
Toast, Anonymous Fedi FungusShiitakeToast@beige.partyJun 15, 2026, 4:48 PM@0xabad1dea I will admit I have a hard time looking at that picture and not trying to figure out the camera trick. Because otherwise that is an absurdly massive dog.
CarolynCStamp@mastodon.socialJun 15, 2026, 5:40 PM@0xabad1dea An uncle had a Newfoundland dog, and it would put his front paws on my shoulder and look me in the eyes, asking for attention. I am tall. It made me appreciate how big it was. Very loveable as well. :)
Jun 15, 2026, 6:46 PM@0xabad1dea such a nice fluffy cuddly lapdog... Soooo cute...
ladislav_bonitaladislav_bonita@mastodon.socialJun 15, 2026, 11:44 PM@0xabad1dea
Well, I guess it's just difficult to comprehend how something so cute and fluffy can be that big!(I, too, was secretly hoping for a chance encounter with Odin when we were in Amsterdam this April - extremely unlikely as it was though, given we only had two ours in the overtourism zone near the central station.)
Nathan A. Stinestinerman@mastodon.socialJun 15, 2026, 4:35 PM@0xabad1dea I was on vacation in Montreal and saw @evan walking around. I didn't run up for an autograph, but I thought hard about it.

Jules she/herafewbugs@social.coopJun 15, 2026, 4:37 PM@0xabad1dea to be fair if someone from Mastodon was going to recognise you anywhere, it would be public transit
O Devirodevir@mastodon.socialJun 15, 2026, 4:41 PM@0xabad1dea Wow, what an inferiority complex lol
Jun 15, 2026, 4:45 PM@0xabad1dea In the Netherlands, I would be on the lookout 😄
SQLAllFatherSQLAllFather@techhub.socialJun 15, 2026, 5:07 PMEvery time I am in The Netherlands I am on Odin watch. So far no luck, but one day I will be That Guy.
Paul Bowsherboffbowsh@mastodon.me.ukJun 15, 2026, 5:28 PM@0xabad1dea ngl the tiny tiny chance of bumping into Odin is a very real reason I want to come to Amsterdam soon
Toni Aittoniemigimulnautti@mastodon.greenJun 15, 2026, 5:29 PM@0xabad1dea Oh wow. I thought I was on a secret little site 😃
the buff who fell to earthbuffyleigh@mas.toJun 15, 2026, 5:34 PM@0xabad1dea :blobaww:
sheislaurencesheislaurence@mastodon.socialJun 15, 2026, 5:45 PM@0xabad1dea oh to be in a country where someone on a train even *knows* what Mastodon is!
Jun 15, 2026, 5:47 PM@0xabad1dea \o/
Juffo-Wupmndflayr@metalhead.clubJun 15, 2026, 5:52 PM
Jun 15, 2026, 6:41 PM@0xabad1dea I mean, if I'd seen an Odin-looking dog basically anywhere in the Netherlands when I was there visiting @yomimono last month I would have 100% been that person, even if it had actually been someone else's dog.
Jun 15, 2026, 7:16 PMFedi Fame!
Mistymisty@digipres.clubJun 15, 2026, 7:51 PM@0xabad1dea Incredible? He's a genuine celebrity!
Jun 15, 2026, 8:00 PM@0xabad1dea my 11yo sometimes tells me "oh look an Odin like dog" !
isolisol@mastodon.auJun 15, 2026, 8:03 PMSo, someone on that platform knew him from this platform 🤪
Gin KangarooGinevraCat@toot.communityJun 15, 2026, 11:02 PM@0xabad1dea THAT'S SO COOOOOOOL
Michael Gemarmichaelgemar@cosocial.caJun 15, 2026, 11:20 PM@0xabad1dea @davep He’s a star!
