Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

I wonder if that sheep was just paralyzed from shock or actually just didnt have any grip on the rock. Either way it just flopped down the hill like a bouncy ball.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Few steps missing, the squirming, the unexpected discovery it is twice the weight you thought it was, the pointy hooves and contact with various fleshy parts of your anatomy and catching the bloody thing in the first place.

Honestly from a lamb-over-the-wall perspective this is very much "draw the rest of the owl"

[–] Hule 9 points 6 months ago

Don't forget the ticks!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

So how many sheep tossings do you have under your belt exactly

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Dozens, and many over the belt too!

Can't have children anymore though :/

[–] [email protected] 37 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Shockingly similar to putting your black out drunk friends into bed after a party.

Don't forget a bucket or trash can.

[–] HootinNHollerin 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

And to put them on their side so they don’t asphyxiate if they throw up

I like to think this woman is some random agent of chaos letting a sheep out of a farmer's fields.

[–] dogsnest 12 points 6 months ago

PETA handout.

[–] ooterness 31 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Okay, but what if I have a lamb, a cabbage, and a wolf? Obviously I can only bring one at a time over the wall, but the lamb will eat the cabbage if I'm not there...

[–] MinFapper 8 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Is that from a riddle?

Based on what you've given so far, you can just take the lamb first, since the wolf won't eat the cabbage.

[–] mlg 9 points 6 months ago

The original riddle is a boat or gondola across the river that can only fit yourself and one thing.

It's not that hard of a riddle, it's just that you have to apply the same logic to the other side too.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Right, but what do you take next? And what do you do when you're going back to get the third thing, leaving whatever's on the other side unsupervised?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

But then what are you putting over the fence next?

What if you eat the wolf first

[–] ooterness 3 points 6 months ago

That's some genius-level out of the box thinking. You're hired!

Wolf eats sheep while you're yeeting the cabbage.

J) Hop over fence, go back to step A.

Repeat exercise until you have finished your workout.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Workout? I thought we were trying to help the little fella realise the grass is only greener 50% of the time.

[–] Hellstormy 3 points 6 months ago

Ah yes, now I see. How nice of the sheep for helping the person to realize that.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

One must imagine green overall lady happy.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Need another guide for the step F, because how the f do you not drop the sheep with that awkward grip?

[–] Restaldt 3 points 6 months ago

It's not so much a grip on step f as a twisting jerking motion

You know. Standard lifting procedure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Have you ever held a live, non-sedated sheep before...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That’s a damn big lamb. It’s as big as an adult!

[–] Hule 7 points 6 months ago

Small people shaming ain't cool!

[–] CptEnder 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Thought this was a joke but watched Clarksons Farm and read those little fuckers are suicide machines

[–] FinishingDutch 20 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They’re like fluffier hamsters. You breathe on them wrong and poof, they’re dead. It’s like every sheep is somehow genetically programmed to find the most creative way to end their own existence. And usually that of those around them.

Back in 2005, around 1500 of them jumped off a cliff in Turkey. 400 of them died.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

400 cushioned the fall of the other 1100.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I bet there was a run on ground lamb at the closest supermarket the next day.

[–] HootinNHollerin 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ah so I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time

[–] Pilferjinx 2 points 6 months ago

See, you gotta coax the sheep with some dancin to get em in the mood.

[–] Substance_P 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Rogue lambs, walls everywhere, this will definitely come in handy.

Hamlet of Walls in West Sheeperton, Wales.

[–] TastyWheat 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What's wrong with the trebuchet?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Nothing, but sometimes you don't want to be right to such an extreme degree.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

This yeets the lamb.

[–] johannesvanderwhales 10 points 6 months ago

Crazy how often this comes up.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

I will save and cherish this for the rest of my life, hoping to make use of it someday.

[–] Thcdenton 4 points 6 months ago

Forgot the last step

[–] beebarfbadger 2 points 5 months ago

Great, NOW you tell me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Bad guide. Lift with your knees, people

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They lift it with at least one knee

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Halfway there!
