First one to write, too, apparently.

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Am I to believe that that pig took pen in hand and wrote that sign?

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Alternative perspective: Imagine being lifted up, being able to see the stars for the first time. The absolute wonderment of it all. Only to be put back down, never to be able to see them again. Almost seems cruel

Alternative alternative perspective: imagine being lifted up, against your will, and manipulated until you can see nothing but a vast blackness dotted with occasional white pinpricks and glimmers. You're put back down, but now you have the craziest story to tell Gary at the feeding trough in the morning.

existential squealing intensifies

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

can you just build them a ramp?

[–] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They can also just... Look up

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Wow, I was lied to by a meme. /s

I actually googled this a while back and IIRC they can also roll around or just tilt their body as well.

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Flowers for Algernon in a nutshell. (If you or anyone reading this hasn't read it, give it shot, it'll make you feel)

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 3 points 11 months ago

They can roll onto their backs though. Nothing stopping them from looking at the universe.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This was by far and large the best throwaway gag that I'm sure many people missed in "Children of Men". There's a shot near the beginning in the dystopian city and there's a pig shaped balloon floating in the sky. I'm not sure how many people caught it when the saw the movie.

You are probably thinking of the Pink Floyd reference at 17:40 in the movie.

Nope its in CoM I'd need to watch it again.

[–] lemmyartistforhire@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Yes, the reference is at exactly 17:40 in the movie.

[–] lemmyartistforhire@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I’d need to watch it again.

Did you watch it again?

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

No i said pigS. One doesn't count

[–] kcuf@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

His poor ears...

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

He’s doing it.

[–] the_flying_pig@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

What a time to be alive.

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 3 points 11 months ago

“This is unnatural.” - That Pig, probably.

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago

I'm not convinced the pig is actually operating that airplane.

[–] circledot@feddit.org 3 points 11 months ago

WHO SAID THAT?!

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 months ago

Dear God I think this picture is as old as the internet.
