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

Pig in a cute sweater planing war crimes.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 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.

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 6 hours ago

It's allll beef, no pig :)

+

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

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 32 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] aeshna_cyanea@lemm.ee 7 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] devils_advocate@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I think you could read it to children.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You can read anything to children…

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 4 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...

[–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 55 minutes ago

And never mind that, fire baaaaad!

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 6 points 13 hours ago

Four legs good

Two legs ~~bad~~ better

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 8 points 10 hours ago

Now I'm imagining a pig wearing programming socks.

[–] galanthus@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 1 points 26 minutes 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.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 6 hours ago

Already pigs.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 11 points 15 hours ago

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

Does a muppet count?

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 20 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!

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Being billionaire is not a job.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 2 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.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 11 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

But imagine them in a childrens book doing their job

That is the hard ppart

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 12 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@lemmy.world 1 points 34 minutes ago

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

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 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

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 5 points 10 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

[–] muelltonne@feddit.org 127 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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

So the average cartoon character

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

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 points 12 hours ago

Awfull lot of pigs have jobs put there that i wouldnt consider needed

[–] Boozilla@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] almost1337@lemm.ee 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)
