Yes it does
Wow that's sad but understandable.
... Why is everyone looking so cheerful in that page? You don't smile when discussing euthanasia or learning about it...
WikiHow had a certain style to it. I love it
Feels a little like an Eldritch corporation that doesn't totally understand humanity, but produces simple guides to existence in a an effort to ease the suffering of our poor squalid souls.
Reminds me of that scene from Fight Club. Apparently everyone on WikiHow is high on concentrated oxygen 😄
That was actually sad to read, even being a hypothetical situation.
Because they don’t have to beat it afterwards? 🤷🏾
What the fuck is wrong with you?
“Beating a dead horse” is an old saying/idiom in the US meaning “that a particular effort is futile, being a waste of time without a positive outcome,” such as flogging/beating a dead horse, which will not compel it to do useful work. Maybe it didn’t land as well I thought it would.
For reals. Those human empathy/nurturing emotions are strong.
Yeah, that's some serious chronic severe lameness 😟
Step 8) ensure that your horse is dead.
This guide is perfect
It's a really grim article but it's goddamn hilarious that it exists. I'm just picturing someone following it step by step without reading the whole thing first. "Okay aim the gun at a point just off the side of the bony ridge, okay..." points gun at blindfolded horse "...now what? Hang on."
I really like this pic earlier in the article where the vet's stethoscope is informing the owner that the horse has a tadpole and is going to turn into a mind flayer 😁
Noooo curse you internet! 😂
