First one to write, too, apparently.

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Am I to believe that that pig took pen in hand and wrote that sign?

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

easier than flying

Surely someone had catapulted a pig before this

Alternative perspective: Imagine being lifted up, being able to see the stars for the first time. The absolute wonderment of it all. Only to be put back down, never to be able to see them again. Almost seems cruel

Alternative alternative perspective: imagine being lifted up, against your will, and manipulated until you can see nothing but a vast blackness dotted with occasional white pinpricks and glimmers. You're put back down, but now you have the craziest story to tell Gary at the feeding trough in the morning.

existential squealing intensifies

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

can you just build them a ramp?

[–] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They can also just... Look up

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Wow, I was lied to by a meme. /s

I actually googled this a while back and IIRC they can also roll around or just tilt their body as well.

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Flowers for Algernon in a nutshell. (If you or anyone reading this hasn't read it, give it shot, it'll make you feel)

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 3 points 2 months ago

They can roll onto their backs though. Nothing stopping them from looking at the universe.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This was by far and large the best throwaway gag that I'm sure many people missed in "Children of Men". There's a shot near the beginning in the dystopian city and there's a pig shaped balloon floating in the sky. I'm not sure how many people caught it when the saw the movie.

You are probably thinking of the Pink Floyd reference at 17:40 in the movie.

Nope its in CoM I'd need to watch it again.

[–] lemmyartistforhire@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Nope its in CoM

Yes, the reference is at exactly 17:40 in the movie.

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

His poor ears...

[–] the_flying_pig@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

What a time to be alive.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

He’s doing it.

[–] circledot@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

WHO SAID THAT?!

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

I'm not convinced the pig is actually operating that airplane.

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago

“This is unnatural.” - That Pig, probably.
