Anyone know what kind of cactus this is and why it's so... flaccid? (lemmy.world)

Maybe he is nervous?

You think we would be past the point in which we judge each other's cactus. Big cactus, small cactus, pointy or flacid. They all need love. Let's just share the love.

It needs much more light. You can also ask over at houseplants

Teddy Bear cactus! And I concur that it needs significantly more light. Presuming you live in the northern hemisphere, get it into a south-facing window for optimal sunlight, but if that isn't possible a west-facing window will work, too.

Looks like a Mammillaria matudae!

The flopping be what they do. They have what's called a prostrate growth habit!
