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

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

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

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

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 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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

I think you could read it to children.

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

You can read anything to children…

Four legs good

Two legs ~~bad~~ better

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 16 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

It's allll beef, no pig :)

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

The Busy World of Richard Scarry

[–] magic_window@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

looks like Richard Scarry

[–] protonslive@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Now I'm imagining a pig wearing programming socks.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

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 1 year 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.
