"Thank god for the hatchery" - Norm
Not where I expected that to go, but then.. I never know where to expect comedians to go.. I think that’s the point.
Anyway, keeping to the subject, when I worked at the hatchery there was this guy.. he was the guy who killed all the male babies, and that was his whole job.. he was fucking weird, in a bad way, and we all gave him tons of space. It didn’t bother him at all to kill thousands of birds in a single day as just his normal job. That’s all.
Norm in particular you rarely would know where he was going.
He honestly isn’t really my cup of tea.. I love stand-up, but his stuff always just felt wrong to me, and not like politically wrong but..
Norm-violating wrong.
(Hehehehehehehe)
You get used to the cruelty. It may feel wrong for a short period of time, but you get used to and at some point don't care. I currently work at a small(about 200 pigs) "piglet farm", where they raise pigs and sell them to other farmers. Part of the morning routine involves cutting the tails and teeth's of all new born piglets. It was quite of a shock at the beginning, but even after 1 week I realise it being jot as shocking ad in the beginning, even though I still absolutely hat it for having to do this. Luckyly I only have to work there for 3 more weeks.
Ever worry you’ll be reincarnated as a pig?
No being within conditioned existence escapes ageing, sickness, and death. Being slaughtered for meat is probably not anyone's preference, but all beings will die.
Yeah, but most beings don’t get their tails cut off and teeth ripped out as kids.
Why do you have to work there? Also... piglins? Where is this farm, minecraft?
I work there as a requirement for studying. The word I wanted to use was piglets and not piglins.
What are you studying that requires work at farms?
Farming.
Damn dude
My bad. I’m not a comedian. Idk where the line is between “so real it’s funny” and “so real it’s not funny”.. it’s just a thing I experienced.
So here we are.
Sorry.
No worries, not everything needs to be funny
