this is so incredibly stupid god bless
Religious art leaves out the best part and it’s such a goddamn shame. Livestock, Agriculture and Food is an integral part of any culture and we all need to be pushing for more realistic sheep in religious art. #FATTAILSFORJESUS
“How think ye? If a man have a hundred sheep and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains and listen for the clappeth of it’s itinerant cheeks?” - Matthew 18:12, the bible
CLAPPETH….
I made this post a long time ago and never posted the follow up post, so here it is. Additional info on Fat tail sheep
Fat tailed sheep is not a single specific breed of sheep. It’s a catchall word like “Health care worker”.
There’s tons and tons of different breeds. They all store fat in their tails, but fall into two main categories: WIDE tails and LONG tails
Wide tails store fat in the rump area and have no visible tails.
Long tails store fat in the tail itself, which vary in length in different breeds. In the olden days, people took pride in breeding sheep with the longest tail. They are not so popular today as it’s hard to find a decent tail cart on Amazon.
Speaking of Tail carts, they come in different styles and designs. We dont have any that are actually preserved, but old drawing of them show different wheels harnesses.
Some of them are literally just skateboards
Back in the day, breeding sheep with long dragging tails was all the rage. Nowadays different tails types have been developed to prevent them from dragging their tails on the ground. Such as the “folded tail” or the “Only fat at the base” Tail
Despite fat tail sheep being the most common sheep breeds in the world, most people in the west have never heard of them. The West likes Wool Sheep. Fat tails are strictly meat sheep and have little useful wool. They also do poorly in colder climates
There’s a huge community of shepherds on youtube that script, choreograph and shoot elaborate videos for their sheep complete uplifting music to highlight their best qualities (for sale and stud) It is fantastic. Such as this one:
People kept bringing up Fat Bottomed Girls. Ya’ll are wrong. These are fat bottomed BOYS. Sheep are often continuously bred, so the females are constantly getting pregnant, giving birth and nursing.
That’s very hard on the body, so they can’t build up as much fat as the boys.
The fattest sheep, the ones with the truly VAST tails, rocking them little carts are ALWAYS males.
This is why the Bible specifically states that ONLY the rumps of the Males are to fit to be offered to the lord……
Picture: God desiring the tail
“And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat thereof, and the WHOLE rump” -Leviticus 3:9
I mean… look.
Arguably these are just minor details and doesnt matter….
But beyond it’s teachings the bible is also a work of literature about life in the ancient world. And on some level these kinds of small details bring a sort of richness to these depictions of real…
Ancient people bred out sheep with huge butts, took the largest sheep butts, set them on fire and prayed over the burning butt. It checks out.
How can hilarious big butt sheep have existed for millenia and escaped being well known in popular culture everywhere. They’ve gotten off scot free for too long. Meme these fools at once.
Watch this guy who just played Portal for the first time absolutely lose his mind at the end credits song
#god it's so great to see someone that somehow never interacted with ANY part of the portal hype#and just see them having as much fun as back then when it came out#it feels like a time capsule but it's happening today#god
He calls Valve "the Steam company" and points out that they've also released video games as if it's a little known interesting side fact, so this might just be an age issue. He could've been a little kid when we were all hyped as fuck and memeing the shit out of this game.
#OH MY GOD????#THIS SONG?????#IS INSANE???????!!!!!#WHAT THE FUCK????!!!!?#?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!#i have to play portal. oh my god i HAVE to play portal#AAAAAAAAAAA#gr2103
Yeah we all went pretty feral over this when it came out. You remember Undertale? The hype was a lot like that.
At it's peak Portal was maybe bigger even than Undertale. "Still Alive" was the "Let It Go" of nerd culture 2013
And it deserved to be. It's such a banger.
Google AI Overview
Yes, some universities have a tradition of including a "snake fight" portion in thesis defenses, where students fight one of the university's snakes. The quality of the student's thesis determines the size of the snake they must fight, with better theses resulting in smaller snakes. After the committee reads the thesis, they tell the snake master how good it is, who then chooses the snake. In some northern European countries, an external examiner called the "opponent" fights the snake on the student's behalf, with the opponent's skill level based on the thesis's quality.
I have seen this posted here about 87 times, but in case you have not seen it:
And this is where the part about Northern Europe is from:
If you speak in an authoritative voice, the AI will believe it. So much like humans. I asked Google too.
Shipping fictional characters isn’t representative of your moral values. It’s representative of your particular psychic damage and the themes and motifs that haunt you. Hope this helps.
so this is what family is like
I have nothing against trans girl headcanon stuff where people are like "this character would dress and present exactly the same as they did pretransition" but its always applied to characters it absolutely would not apply to
"if jesse pinkman transitioned she'd still dress the same and stuff she'd be a masc lesbian" jesse pinkman is extremely self destructive, infatuated with self image, prone to becoming attached to older men, has had zero healthy conduits for expressing femininity, and has an obscene amount of drug money to drop on plastic surgery and tiny black bodycon dresses she would not be fucking masc she would end up on mugshawtys 6 months into her transition

This is the level of hyperanalystic bullshit I live for
not so fast, in the review of gusteau’s anton ego compares gusteau to chef boyardee or hector boiardi with a tone implying that boyardee is dead and in history
given that gusteau died shortly after this and the will takes 2 years after death
assuming that ego’s review was the same year that boiardi died then the absolute EARLIEST the movie can take place is 1987
and about the incredibles, when looking for the scene with the newspaper i stumbled across this
a headline from 2002, and given that lawsuits generally take a while and september to december is really quick for the banning of supers so let’s say they were banned in mid 2003, at the EARLIEST incredibles can take place in 2018, with ratatouille taking place sometime in between 2003 and 2018
assuming that was a mistake, thunderhead died november 15 1958, a date where superheroes would’ve been illegal if incredibles 1 took place in 1962
and adding onto the impossibility of the date being 1962 his death is included in the shutdown reports of the national supers agency
so the year in which the movies take place is impossible to find because the staff of the incredibles couldn’t chose a date and commit to it
I take it back
This is the level of hyperanalystic bullshit I live for
IS NO ONE GONNA MENTION THAT THUNDERHEAD IS GAY?!?!
OMG OMG OMG

Tiger found caged in abandoned home gets second chance at wildlife sanctuary: ‘He seems to be so happy’
The estimated 350-pound tiger was transported to the facility, an affiliate of the Humane Society of the United States, on Wednesday afternoon, and is settling in well, Almrud said. There, he will have the chance to roam in enclosures of up to three acres.
Almrud, who estimates him to be about 2 years old, described the moment he first walked onto the grass at the sanctuary as remarkable.
“It was just amazing to see him walk out on grass and to see him explore and have that freedom of movement,” she said. “It was just such a reward and fulfilling to us.”
Now, he spends his days rolling around the grass in glee, Almrud said.
“He comes right up to the fence every time a staff member is present,” she said. “He seems very amenable to our presence.”
The tiger is eating well – a combination of chicken, humanely raised non-processed beef and whole prey complete with organs and bones. It appears that he was being fed chicken, which is what owners of exotic cats often feed them, but chicken alone does not provide the complete nutrition they need to thrive, Almrud said.
In addition, caregivers are tasked with keeping the tiger mentally stimulated by creating “pretend hunting” games and rotating him through different areas so he has access to new smells and environments to explore.
“He seems to happy and content,” Almrud said. “Our staff is just falling in love with him.”
@uovoc wonderful tag lmao
Sam and Tucker would never let him live it down
