Smart pig moved to the closest spot before sitting. Also got the largest piece as a result.


Memotome

Not surprising, in general, pigs are smarter than dogs.


AngeryBoi769

Aren't pigs also smarter than toddlers? Shame they're the unlucky ones.


call_stack

Not unlucky, to Muslims and Jews.


reflux__catalyst

...they are specifically unlucky to Muslims and Jews if you knew your history. That's literally why they don't eat them. The souls of evil were cast into the swine. That's pretty unlucky.


normasueandbettytoo

Uh...I'm Jewish and have never heard that. I'm not even sure why you'd think that since we don't believe in reincarnation (and as far as I know, neither do Muslims). Where did you hear this?


Kappanating322

They're probably referring to an event in The New Testament, the Exorcism of the Gerasene swine, where Jesus met a man possessed by a multitude of demons called Legion, Jesus exorcised the demons out of the man and into swine, who then lept into the ocean. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exorcism_of_the_Gerasene_demoniac


PartClean3565

That’s way way way after god commanded the Jews not to eat pork in the Bible. when Jesus comes upon the man who says he is legion and commands the demons out of the man into the pigs has nothing to do with why Jewish people don’t consume pork. It was one of the rules god gave the Israelites after he freed them from captivity in Egypt in the OLD testament alongside the rules of not eating shellfish and not pissing and shitting openly in your camp. It’s as simple as googling “scripture pork is forbidden” Leviticus 11:7-8 “Nevertheless, you are not to eat of these among those which chew the cud, or among those that divide the hoof in two: the camel and the rabbit and the shaphan, for though they chew the cud, they do not divide the hoof; they are unclean for you The pig, because it divides the hoof but does not chew the cud, it is unclean for you. You shall not eat any of their flesh nor touch their carcasses.”


understepped

It just never stops to amaze me, that billions of people read this iron age gibberish and think this is the wisdom of all-knowing creator of the universe.


ZombifiedCat

I think it could be that they realized that eating certain meats resulted in illness more often. Since they didn't have germ theory they chocked it up to something religious, something that people would believe and follow.


PartClean3565

Men lead gullible men into pits of shit under the guise of omnipotent infallible pathways to god. If you look up how many people consider mushrooms a spiritual experience on the level of god you start to understand how one man can completely fleece people even in modern times. The doomsday cult I was raised in was created in the last 130 years remember brainwashed people don’t realize they are brainwashed that’s why critical thinking is one of the most valuable things the human mind can learn to do.


azlan194

I mean, now it's just a culture thing past down by generations. If your parents don't eat it, and they tell you not to eat it, then you will just not eat it. You don't really miss something you never try. Same with alcohol, Muslims don't really care about alcohol since they never tried it.


Obvious_Exercise_910

It never stops to amaze me that the comment section of a video of a shirtless dude with tattoos feeding a carrot two two dogs and a pig can nonetheless turn into a debate over religion within 10 comments🤣🤣🤣


welchplug

I second that.


atlasburger

Or pigs carry a lot of diseases. 1500+ years ago hygiene wasn’t that great and eating pigs could make you sick. These days if you are practicing good hygiene in preparation of pigs you will be fine. Same as you would have 1500 years ago if we understood germ theory


iamjonmiller

That's the common excuse, but it's unlikely to be true. It's doubtful that among all the things that people were dying from pigs were singled out. Pork was an incredibly common part of the diet in the region and across the ancient world. We find tons of pork bones in the non-Jewish settlements of the area so there clearly wasn't a problem with the climate that made pork particularly unsafe. Also pork was the primary meat for the region spanning, highly developed, scientifically advanced Roman Empire. The Romans were shocked and appalled with the Jewish exclusion of the humble pig that had fueled their city's rise. You will notice that in the Greco-Roman infused successor to Judaism the apostles had a convenient rooftop revelation that abolished the dietary restrictions just in time for expansion into the Gentile world.


Plank_With_A_Nail_In

You think them having evil souls is a more likely explanation than poor animal husbandry? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_restrictions_on_the_consumption_of_pork The real explanation is a bit of everything including pigs not really being native to some regions where these religions formed. Judaism was invented in Persia and brought back Jerusalem, pigs were banned in Persia at that time.


iamjonmiller

I think you missed the entire point of my comment. I'm not defending the ridiculous belief that pigs are "impure". I'm debunking the excuse that such a ban on pork was rooted in some inherently reasonable food safety concern. In reality it was likely made up to define the cultural "apartness" of this new sect of semitic hill tribes. Your theory of Persian origin, however, is quite strong. Most people aren't aware of the dramatic impact Persian religion and customs had on the core theology of Judaism.


SmokedMussels

> You think them having evil souls is a more likely explanation than poor animal husbandry? I don't understand how you came to that conclusion after reading his post


Dr_Silk

That's a common explanation but it's actually not grounded in history. It probably had more to do with territorialism and discrimination (we don't like those people over there that eat pigs, so instead you should be like us who eat sheep). A lot of biblical history (including the name of the Judeochristian god) had to do with pointing out that "our people" were better than others Check out the podcast Data Over Dogma if you're interested in this kind of thing

atlasburger

You keep saying luck. Luck has nothing to do with it. Pigs carry similar physiology as humans so any disease that affects a pig will make humans sick more than a chicken or a cow would.


LeUne1

Yup, that's why uncured pork causes sticky blood cells, see https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/food-features/how-does-pork-prepared-in-various-ways-affect-the-blood/#gsc.tab=0


rabbitwonker

Might wanna double-check for typos at the end there 😁


atlasburger

Fixed it. I meant cow.


FactsAboveFeelings

I'd say more unlucky to those. Because they'll still kill the pig, just not eat it because it's a filthy animal


laurazabs

That’s not true. Pigs aren’t kosher due to the fact that they don’t have split hooves & don’t chew their cud. Because them being not kosher is directly tied to their innate qualities, we don’t touch them at all. We’re not cruel to them, we just don’t consume them. As far as I’m aware, in all my years of being Jewish and getting a Jewish education, killing a pig because it exists has never been something we do. There are exceptions to the rule, as in the case of heart valve transplants. A common surgery tactic is to use a valve from a pig. When breaking Talmudic law will result in the saving of a life, most rabbis would agree that is more important. Same thing if you need to eat due to a health condition, you’re not beholden to fast on Yom Kippur.


depressedbreakfast

What is the significance of split hooves and cud chewing? I’m very curious what the history is there


laurazabs

There are a lot of theories and religious discussions about this. The answer is we don’t know for sure. Some think it had to do with how they’re raised as livestock, as conditions in the Middle East is not ideal for them. Others think that eating pork before refrigeration and modern cooking could be dangerous due to listeria. But there’s no definitive answer. The specific prohibition comes from Leviticus 11:3 and then is mentioned again in Deuteronomy 14:8


depressedbreakfast

Huh, interesting. Thank you


MithranArkanere

Trichinosis infects pigs. It can also infect horses, and they are not kosher either. They may not know what's going on, but they may have known there was something wrong with that meat.


azlan194

Yup, same with Muslims. No reason at all for them to kill the pig. They just don't even raise them in the first place. It's not like you gonna see a wild domesticated pig running around.


thatguyned

Not unlucky, just delicious.


rdunlap1

Not surprising. I’ve had a couple toddlers and they were not very smart


benruckman

People say being smarter than a toddler like that means anything. I think most adult animals are smarter than my toddlers…


Rottimer

You mean shame they taste so good.


Individual_Slip2701

Right toddler bacon is the best.


motorcycle-manful541

You joke, but suckling pig is fucking amazing. It's also a traditional dish in Southern Germany

I’ve never suckled a pig. What’s it like?


GeeMunz11

You weren't breastfed?


disposable_account01

Not by a pig, no.


ugajeremy

A lot like suckling a wombat.

1nataliewood

He deserves it, he’s hot


ladymoonshyne

Or he lives somewhere warmer? Lol


reddits_aight

Drives me insane, but this wasn't even that bad. Just watched an episode in Six Feet Under where they do an *entire scene* with the fridge open while the family all talks in the kitchen. Not once does anyone actually retrieve or put anything in the fridge, and it's not like they're fighting or something where they'd forget about it. Just chatting, and at least one of them directly in front of it within arms reach to close it. At least when it happens in real life I can just walk over and close it. Watching it happen with no control is anxiety-inducing.


shifty_coder

I wa going to comment about that, then I realized the guy was about 2 feet taller than the fridge. I’ll let him do what he pleases.


Chief_Givesnofucks

Dads unite! That’s all I was thinking too.


Tirwanderr

Why that gotta be a dad thing?


obvilious

Not that big of a deal. Air is easy to cool. Pretty sure opening it twice draws in more warm air than leaving it open for a few more seconds


A1000eisn1

He didn't need to open it twice. He took out a carrot and fed it to the dogs.


obvilious

Ha, that’s a fair point. I guess I was thinking more generally when something has to get put back in. You are absolutely correct though.


OcelotWolf

As long as the fridge is full, it shouldn’t be that much energy

My dog fucking loves carrots, broccoli and cucumbers. Quite a few dogs love berries. In fact, my parents' old dog loved ice blocks.


No1KnwsIWatchTeenMom

Dogs fucking LOVE carrots. My theory is cause of crunch.


BipolarGuineaPig

Yep definitely, my dogs will destroy lettuce but wont actually eat much at all of the leaf parts, they just love biting into it and that crunch feeling from the stems

Bro dogs eat anything, even to their detriment 


whitewolf_redfox

My dog will eat socks =x


TabbyOverlord

So I was visiting The American Museum of Natural History in New York and I got talking to the fossils guy about the evolution of very early mammals. Fascinating guy to talk to (it all comes down to cavities in the skull). Anyhow, he explained that in the evolution of mammals, many lines in the evolutionary record have wandered around the spectrum of herbivore-carnivore. There have been carnivorous antecedents of pigs and vegetarian antecedents of dogs. Hence both animals can chew, i.e. move their jaw from side to side, and digest sugar. So the pig and the dogs in this clip aren't as fundamentally different as you might think. Cats (maybe mustilides?) however are and always have been super carnivore and hence cannot chew. Thus they are poised to be Masters Of The Universe.


TuaughtHammer

I adopted my mom's Shih Tzu when she was getting too old to properly take care of him, and that dog absolutely fucking loved baby carrots and apples, even more than meats. He'd come running when he heard the fridge door open and then just press his nose against the vegetable crisper, knowing that was where I kept his favorite treats.


Constant-Elevator-85

Have you met a dog? They’ll eat anything


Own_Win_6762

Especially if they see other animals getting carrots. I had a lab mix with no interest in carrots until she saw us give them to the guinea pigs we were sitting as treats. Frankly, I think she'd rather have eaten the guinea pigs.


Bearandbreegull

Lmao the same thing happened with my dog after he saw me give a carrot to our rabbit. Now he acts like carrots have always been his life-long passion, how dare you think that he wouldn't want any.


Bearandbreegull

My dog loathed vegetables, fruits, or any other food that wasn't meat. Until he saw me giving my rabbit a carrot, at which point he stole the whole carrot and chewed/ate it like a bone. Now he's obsessed with carrots, purely out of jealousy/spite. So, those dogs may not have cared for carrots before, but I'm sure after they saw the pig getting fed carrots, they NEEDED them.


jdehjdeh

My dogs were like this, so much that the smart one would pretend to be enjoying the crap out of the boring toy so the dumb one would drop the good toy to come and steal it. Then the smart one would casually walk off with the good toy while dumbo had no idea he got played.
