I do not fully agree with this point, but this pig got to be Jeffrey DaHAMer or HAMnibal Lecter (lemmy.world)

How am I supposed to imagine a clothed pig splicing fiber cables or setting up a rack full of communications equipment with fiber patches. They don't even have opposable thumbs, how can they unplug an LC plug with its retention clip?

If my job isn't real I'm taking the internet down with me, then he can read his hand drawn memes to his neighbor.

Take the Internet. We'll be fine.

Don't worry guys, it's human meat so it's not weird.

Pig in a cute sweater planing war crimes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

This looks nice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

I dare you to find a job that can't be portrayed like that.

Hacker Pig? sure!

Neo matrix Pig? Sure

Politician? Almost indistinguishable

Holywood Director Pig? Nearly by default

Slaughterhouse Pig... NGL, that hits different, but still, I can see that.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Am I missing the obvious sarcasm that is somehow not mentioned? as in this pig is an obvious CLASS TRAITOR for being a pig that sells parts of (presumably) other pigs?

[–] T00l_shed 6 points 8 hours ago

It's allll beef, no pig :)

Edit: huh, the '+' did do what i intended but didn't believe it would work.

[–] Dicska 4 points 8 hours ago

You can't convince me the pig in the third pic isn't Winne the 🇨🇳 Pooh.

[–] Maggoty 32 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Isn't there a very famous children's story about a pig that is more equal than the other pigs?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I wouldn't exactly call it a children's story

[–] Maggoty 2 points 7 hours ago

My school had me read it when I was a kid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I think you could read it to children.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

You can read anything to children…

[–] Maggoty 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I once saw someone read a Metallica song to their kid as a bedtime story.

Hush little baby, Don't say a word...

And never mind that, fire baaaaad!

Four legs good

Two legs ~~bad~~ better

Now I'm imagining a pig wearing programming socks.

[–] galanthus 4 points 12 hours ago

There is a job that can be represented without any clothes at all.

What about Police? :O

[–] Snowclone 1 points 2 hours ago

The whole term sprung up when founding black panthers were studying police methodologies and found a precinct that used a pig as a mascot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Already pigs.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 18 hours ago

Ah, the pig is preparing soylent oligarch-green, a most sustainable job, I applaud you, pig.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

So a billionaire is a real job now? I don't even have to imagine a billionaire being a pig, they all already are!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Being billionaire is not a job.

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

that's what I'm saying, but a pig could be it in a children's story

[–] Zorque 1 points 4 hours ago

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

In this hypothetical situation, if you can't imagine a fanciful depiction of a pig doing it, then it isn't a job. But the opposite isn't necessarily true. Just because you can imagine a fanciful depiction of a pig doing it doesn't necessarily mean it is a job, just that it could be.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

But imagine them in a childrens book doing their job

That is the hard ppart

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

This is just a stock image but it's not hard to imagine it being in a children's story. Besides, Scrooge McDuck is an existing character in a children's story that is a billionaire as a duck.

[–] nandeEbisu 1 points 2 hours ago

At least Scrooge McDuck isn't portrayed as having a healthy relationship with wealth.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

But in this photo, they are throwing money, not doing their job

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

their "job" is literally none other than being rich

throwing money is part of that

the other part is swimming in a pool of money

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

Swimming in a pool of and throwing money arent jobs, they are hobbies

If they dont do anything other than that, they are jobless

[–] [email protected] 13 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Does a muppet count?

[–] [email protected] 130 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I could totally imagine a clothed pig sitting in front of a computer

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Literally me (to be fair I'm not always clothed).

[–] chaogomu 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

A pig wearing a shirt and tie, but no pants.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

So the average cartoon character

[–] [email protected] 83 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Why is the pig a cannibal

[–] Zorque 103 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's human meat.

[–] aeronmelon 11 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Understandable, have a great day.
