Pigs can't look up? Hahaha WTF? Who came up with that?

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 78 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone that's never seen a pig

It's like if you asked AI to come up with a problem pigs face and it's only ever read about pigs but never seen one.

[–] fidodo@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

They can't look straight up, and then some genius heard that and morphed it to pigs can't look up period.

Plus, it's not like the only way to look at the stars is by pointing your nose to the sky... Eyes have movement and the stars can also be seen in the horizon.

Still, would be nice to hug a pig, with my guts. (jk...)

Edit: shit, that sounds so wrong, I meant eating the pig...

David Cameron ^allegedly^ put his penis in a dead pig's mouth to join the Bullington Club.

A pig would be damn hard to pick up too. Better do it with a young one.

No pig has ever laid on his side and looked sideways at the sky.

They could even look at water reflections, although their very existence is at odds with such possibilities.

Pigs can look down. And pigs can lie on their back.

[–] fidodo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They can also stand on a slope

[–] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

These are all awesome pig facts

Pigs can look off into the distance in front of them.
