That's fucking brilliant, and I would applaud out loud if it would do any good

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

God that's good!

I'm pretty sure all those cuts are human so this is perfectly normal.

Looks like a nice way to introduce children to poor people who vote right wing.

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

And you’re a good way ro introduce children into how to classify people instead of standing with them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Standing with right wingers never but I'll quote one on the issue here "how do I reach these kids?.."

Well, pigs will eat anything, and anyone.

They'll eat their own, in some circumstances, though it's usually only going to be in bad conditions, or opportunistically. It's extreme rare to see it happen among feral swine, though it does sometimes occur. But wild pigs will eat any dead critter they run across, even other pigs. It's more rare that they'll eat another pig they know. It does happen, but even if you live where the damn ferals are endemic, you might only see evidence of it a handful of times over decades.

So, out of all animals that you'd think of for kid's stories, a pig is probably the most appropriate pick for a butcher. Maybe a cat or dog (though I think cats would just eat their business out of business, not wanting to share.) would fit.

I heard somewhere that society's only real jobs are the one you can depict in a children's book, but I don't know about this one.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Butcher by day. Loan shark by night. Don't be late with your payments.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Who’s to say it’s not human?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The pig would say the same thing about humans

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Which is a bit unfair. I've not butchered any pigs, and I've only ever eaten one or two humans!!

(My autocorrect switched butchered to buggered above. (Un)Luckily (?) I had time to proofread and catch it before posting.

I always found it funny how Mads Mikkelsen became big in Hollywood movies as a serious actor when most of his work prior (exception being the Pusher movies) had been Danish dark comedies. And 'The Green Butchers' is one of those. I remember quoting it quite a bit like 'I smoke between 15 and 20 joints a day, I wouldn't even smell it if my hair was on fire'.

My favourite part from that one has always been the monologue about how grinding an animal down and putting it inside it's own asshole is a mythological humiliation humanity has forced upon nature.

Ole Thestrup was such a good comedic actor for many of the same movies, his deliveries were so friggin' funny. It's a shame this clip doesn't have subtitles, but it starts out with the scene you mention.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

It’s a shame this clip doesn’t have subtitles, but it starts out with the scene you mention.

Well, if this wasn't a good use of my time, I don't know what could have been: Fired up Kdenlive and my copy here, so now people can enjoy this scene without context but with English subtitles, if so desired.

I have this same thought every time I see the Gin Gins mascot

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Oh, wow, wtf. Oh, wait it's ginger. That is still deeply disturbing, but not quite so bad as the dirty bandages and scar tissue covered auto-cannibalising amputee that I saw at first glance.

Possible patron at my market stall:

Ooh, hey, are those chicken fingers, they look nice, how much?

Me, a human:

Ar-herhm, Uh yes! Chi... i-iiicken fingers yes!

Ff-f-finger lickin' good!

Nazi pig: "Those pigs weren't real pigs, they're vermin that should all be butchered."

What about Donald Duck? He’s eating a chicken.

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

Ducks and chickens aren't the same animal. They're both birds, but plenty of birds eat other birds from other species.

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

Well, I have never seen a duck eating meat, but it is just me, move on.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Ducks are omnivores. When they stick their heads underwater, they're trying to catch prey like small fish.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

He really loves his job.

Like humans, pigs eat (relatively) anything

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

You already know the answers

What is that from? I think I had this one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

No worries, it's all kosher

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Well it's only fair!

No no, cops kill minorities, not cops. Not even cops who are from minorities (usually).

"There is no cannibalism in children's literature! And when I say 'none,' I mean there is a certain amount."

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wouldn't worry about it, animals don't feel guilt about cannibalism.
