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

[–] antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

Pairs well with mountain oysters.

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

[–] aeshna_cyanea@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] devils_advocate@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think you could read it to children.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago (3 children)

You can read anything to children…

Four legs good

Two legs ~~bad~~ better

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 16 points 3 months 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@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

It's allll beef, no pig :)

Does a muppet count?

Dumb question: what is this illustration from? I recognize the art style, but can't place it.

looks like Richard Scarry

[–] protonslive@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

A pig could sit in front of a computer in those books right? Right?!

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

I could see a dressed up og sitting in front of a computer. That's like the rest of the jobs

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 8 points 3 months ago

Now I'm imagining a pig wearing programming socks.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Take the Internet. We'll be fine.

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

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months 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.

If I paid more attention in English class I could make this into an essay. Something about the "dog eat dog" nature of capitalism and the expectation that you will do it with rosy cheeks. The use of the butcher pig is an interesting take on the idiom as the harsh competition is often thought of as between faceless firms; rather than a blue collar worker. If I was a cultured pig I might have even watched the motion picture "Soylent Green" and weave it into the essay. Is the butcher aware of what goes into the grinder? Could it be that this pig is a revolutionary and is eating the rich pig?

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