I could totally imagine a clothed pig sitting in front of a computer
Literally me (to be fair I'm not always clothed).
Isn't there a very famous children's story about a pig that is more equal than the other pigs?
I wouldn't exactly call it a children's story
My school had me read it when I was a kid.
I think you could read it to children.
Four legs good
Two legs ~~bad~~ better
Why is the pig a cannibal
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.
pats 1998 Encyclopedia Britannica
I'm embarassed to admit that before reading your comment I was not aware that encyclopedia britannica was available in hardcopy
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?
It's allll beef, no pig :)
So a billionaire is a real job now? I don't even have to imagine a billionaire being a pig, they all already are!
But imagine them in a childrens book doing their job
That is the hard ppart
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.
At least Scrooge McDuck isn't portrayed as having a healthy relationship with wealth.
But in this photo, they are throwing money, not doing their job
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
Swimming in a pool of and throwing money arent jobs, they are hobbies
If they dont do anything other than that, they are jobless
+
Edit: huh, the '+' did do what i intended but didn't believe it would work.
You can't convince me the pig in the third pic isn't Winne the 🇨🇳 Pooh.
Don't worry guys, it's human meat so it's not weird.
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.
Does a muppet count?
Now I'm imagining a pig wearing programming socks.
Richard Scarry to the rescue
Ah, the pig is preparing soylent oligarch-green, a most sustainable job, I applaud you, pig.
A pig could sit in front of a computer in those books right? Right?!
Dumb question: what is this illustration from? I recognize the art style, but can't place it.
looks like Richard Scarry
This makes me feel sad about my job, but i upvote anyway
What about Police? :O
The whole term sprung up when founding black panthers were studying police methodologies and found a precinct that used a pig as a mascot.
There is a job that can be represented without any clothes at all.
I could see a dressed up og sitting in front of a computer. That's like the rest of the jobs
Brendan Fraser Crane is an interesting handle
Pigs will eat anything.
Pig in a cute sweater planing war crimes.
