Insects could take over the world if they wanted. However, because all insects secretly hate one another, they never will.

Did you know that the Almond-eyed ringlet developed it's distinct patterning in order to pretend to mimic the eyes of a larger bird? However, because the Almond-eyed Ringlet is a arrogant and foolish creature, it developed more eye-spots than most birds have.

the REAL truth that this coward wonโ€™t admit is that you absolutely did not have to do this no matter when you were born. my mp3s went straight into that thing looking exactly like they were downloaded and I learned their weird names like god intended. you and your โ€œput togetherโ€ ipod have nothing on me and my 45 ๐Ÿ–พ ๐Ÿ–พ ๐Ÿ–พ______%a&us.fr.uk by Various Artists

This is why I often say thatย โ€œunfilteredโ€ isnโ€™tย โ€œmore authenticโ€ because filters are part of what make up a person, in much the way that you donโ€™t get a better photo of a mountain by strip-mining it first.

image id: a snippet of the Discworld book Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett that reads;

"You'd have done the same," said Lily.

"No," said Granny. "I'd have thought the same, but I wouldn't have done it."

"What difference does that make, deep down?"

"You mean you don't know?"said Nanny Ogg.

Religious art leaves out the best part and itโ€™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

โ€œHow 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 itโ€™s itinerant cheeks?โ€ - Matthew 18:12, the bible

CLAPPETHโ€ฆ.

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. Itโ€™s a catchall word like โ€œHealth care workerโ€.

Thereโ€™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 itโ€™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 โ€œfolded tailโ€ or the โ€œOnly fat at the baseโ€ 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

Thereโ€™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. Yaโ€™ll are wrong. These are fat bottomed BOYS. Sheep are often continuously bred, so the females are constantly getting pregnant, giving birth and nursing.

Thatโ€™s very hard on the body, so they canโ€™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 lordโ€ฆโ€ฆ

Picture: God desiring the tail

โ€œAnd he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat thereof, and the WHOLE rumpโ€ -Leviticus 3:9

I meanโ€ฆ look.

Arguably these are just minor details and doesnt matterโ€ฆ.

But beyond itโ€™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 realโ€ฆ

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. Theyโ€™ve gotten off scot free for too long. Meme these fools at once.

This is fascinating and has anyone with a good Freddie Mercury voice recorded โ€œFat Bottomed Sheepโ€ yet. (What am I saying, those shepherds making youtube videos probably have it recorded in six languages already.)

my favorite scene in LotR as a kid was when Sam started miserably freestyling in the tower of Cirith Ungol and the only reason he ever found Frodo was because he deliriously tried to join in

โ€ฆi did read some of the novels, but i couldnโ€™t get through them entirelyโ€ฆ

โ€ฆand so i genuinely have no idea whether or not this is serious. coz i mean, obviously, it could be a joke. but it could also have legitimately happened. people who have only seen the films underestimate the amount of random things that happen in the books that could come off as utterly silly and ridiculous if removed from their context.

Haha, well, it is pretty much what happens. Sam is looking for Frodo in the tower of Cirith Ungol and is despairing that he will ever find him. He sits down and does what any self-respecting Tolkien character does during their moments of hopelessness and bursts into song.

Itโ€™s a really good song (ten year old Ship had it memorized) and as he begins the refrain a second time, he hears Frodoโ€™s voice answering weakly from above. Frodo is poisoned and despairing and beaten but he is still a Hobbit and cannot resist a singalong even while on the brink of death.
