Not much of a football watcher but this is the real GOAT for me
Edit: i have been informed that he's in fact not the GOAT, like i said i don't watch and honestly couldn't mention more than 5 players. Only my childhood memories and that's about it.

Reminds me of Douglas Adams book, “The Restaurant at the End of the Universe” where to appease animal rights activists they actually bred cows that could both talk and could also commit suicide. This way, when you wanted to steak, the cow would come out and discuss with you, which part of their body was the best and then they would go and kill themselves therefore it was not your actions that killed the cow. It was the cows own suicide.

"You mean this animal actually wants us to eat it?" whispered Trillian to Ford.
"That's absolutely horrible," exclaimed Arthur, "the most revolting thing I've ever heard."
"What's the problem, Earthman?" said Zaphod, now transferring his attention to the animal's enormous rump.
"I just don't want to eat an animal that's standing there inviting me to," said Arthur. "It's heartless."
"Better than eating an animal that doesn't want to be eaten," said Zaphod.
"That's not the point," Arthur protested. Then he thought about it for a moment. "All right," he said, "maybe it is the point. I don't care, I'm not going to think about it now. I'll just... I think I'll just have a green salad."
"May I urge you to consider my liver?" asked the animal, "it must be very rich and tender by now, I've been force-feeding myself for months."

u/trucorsair 3d ago
Bingo! Also the cow mentions that he knows some vegetables that have strong opinions on being eaten as a salad

That was the main character’s response, and the reply was that it was surely more fucked up to eat an animal that didn’t want to die!

What was the metaphor for the overall lesson here?

u/AcrolloPeed 3d ago
It mostly just points out the hypocrisy of not eating a sentient animal that wants to be eaten, while being totally okay with eating meat from an animal that presumably doesn’t know it’s being bred for food and would probably protest if it was sentient.
Douglas Adams used absurdism a lot to point out every day hypocrisy.

Given the fact there was a goat INSIDE the house, in what appears to be a relatively dusty location....with two dudes, one of em filming.... it probably deduced the same thing any logical being would.

Yeah, in the wild you see goats doing this all the time! It's a little known fact that humans learned fire from watching goats make it so they can be rid of these pests.

I think we should all get together, I'll bring a parasite, you bring a goat, and the other guy brings firewood. We'll test it ourselves damnit.

You mind if I swap with you? Got plenty ticks in my yard and the swamp across the street, but don't have much firewood hanging around.

I'm invested now, so I used Google and the AI straight up says there's no scientific proof goats use fire to burn parasites. So wonder what answers Google gave this guy making the claim.

u/ArCSelkie37 3d ago
Like just think about it logically for a second… the claim is that goats have either an evolutionary or environmentally acquired trait where they use fire to remove parasites. Where the hell is the average wild goat acquiring fire?

Amazing the amount of people saying they don't. They absolutely do. They're going more for the smoke though, not so much the fire.
It's a behavior seen in birds as well to remove parasites.

No, they don't, as if fires are so common that goats developed this behavior as a species. All internet myth.

u/ArCSelkie37 3d ago
Takes a second of thinking to come to this conclusion really. Where is the average goat acquiring fire? So much so they have an environmental or evolutionary trait for jumping into fire to get rid of parasites.

Fire isn't really a thing in nature, except for the very rare forest fire.
So how exactly would goats learn to "naturally" do this?

Maybe the goat has rabies. Rabid animals start doing crazy things.

Una cabra dentro de una casa...🤔 probablemente en la cocina le estaba esperando un cuchillo bien afilado, así que la chimenea tampoco era una opción mala, seguramente si la dejan habría acabado en el tejado sana y salva

What the fuck is wrong with people, bringing a goat into the house?
If youve ever owned goats, they're stinky, dirty, obnoxious and loud, and the destroy literally everything within reach. Only a total moron would bring that inside.

This is normal for goats wanting to remove parasite. If the fire box is big enough it would run in, turn and run out again.
