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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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

They roughly have the intelligence of a 3 year-old, so...

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] 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

But imagine them in a childrens book doing their job

That is the hard ppart

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months 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 2 months 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

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (6 children)

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

Four legs good

Two legs ~~bad~~ better

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 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?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

It's allll beef, no pig :)

Does a muppet count?

[–] Boozilla 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

looks like Richard Scarry

+

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Pigs will eat anything.

Brendan Fraser Crane is an interesting handle

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Now I'm imagining a pig wearing programming socks.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 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.

Take the Internet. We'll be fine.

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?
