The reason most farmers dock (cut off) the tails is to prevent fly strike, an often lethal infection of fly larvae in the rear of the sheep. Without a (VERY FLUFFY) tail for fecal matter to accumulate on, fly strike is almost completely eliminated!

there is a wide variety of similar treatments for farm animals that are entirely for the animals well being pigs get their tail curled and tusks removed as babies so they dont accidentally nip each other while playing or stab each other just walking around- even a small tail nip might be fatal once the other pigs react to the scent of blood goats/cows often have their horns removed as babies as well both for obvious reasons to prevent stabbings but also to prevent them from growing in weird that can cause pain and infection for the animal chickens and other poultry, especially pet ones or hobby farms, might have their flight feathers clipped to prevent them from flying over fences, where their life expectancy is nill outside the farm/owners enclosure

Very good and valid points but please tell me what you mean by “might be fatal once the other pigs react to the scent of blood” before I lose my marbles

Pigs are omnivores and cannibals. Fun fact if you ever have need to dispose of a body, tossing it in a pigpen will get rid of it real fast.

There’s a reason why everyone went into a full blown panic when Dorothy fell into the pigpen in the Wizard of Oz. Pigs are vicious.

Jesus.

Look at this, and remember it next time someone says that the gay community survived the AIDS epidemic.

We didn’t survive, we started over. We lost all but an entire generation.

This is what “we survived Reagan, you’ll survive Trump” looks like. No, we didn’t.

I think this is the best scientist photograph I have ever seen.

But people didn’t believe him on reddit. So Watterson made the photo sequence into a gif.

Here’s the gif for anyone curious.

I had to go through the notes to find the gif. Not because I didn’t believe him but because I wanted to see it.

Edible Cookie Dough for One

Hello folks, I’m back with another recipe for @homesteadchronicles​ QuaranTEAM!! This time - edible cookie dough for one!! In all honesty, this technically isn’t my recipe though. See, I have an issue with a lot of the normal edible cookie dough recipes on Pinterest, because they never taste the same as my usual cookie dough recipe. So I took my normal recipe, the standard Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe that you can find on the back of all their chocolate chip bags, and scaled it down. And of course, modified it to make it edible. And after all that math (gross math… the things I do for cookie dough…) I got this!!! A single portion of cookie dough thats safe to eat and tastes just like the normal stuff!!! So here we go!! 

Recipe: Edible Cookie Dough for One

Time: Three minutes (plus five if microwaving flour, you’ll see)  || Yield: 1 serving 

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar 
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar 
  • 1 tbsp butter 
  • 1 tbsp milk 
  • 1/8 tsp salt 
  • 1/8 tsp vanilla
  • Chocolate chips

Method

  1. Melt the butter in the microwave
  2. In a microwave safe bowl, nuke the flour on high for five minutes. **Technically this can be skipped, but raw flour can contain E-coli. Doing this eliminates the risk, so if you want to be safe, or are preparing this for kids, don’t skip this. If you feel like living on the edge, ignore it.
  3. While the flour is microwaving, mix all other ingredients in with the melted butter. Add flour last. 
  4. Add chocolate chips. You will note no amount is listed, because I am firm believer that the amount of chocolate is up to you.You feel that shit in your heart. 

And that’s it!! Enjoy!!

Be able to talk to the three people I eat lunch with

Have a life?

I’d feel so much more confident about being social, taking chances, and do much better with change.

this internship would not be as hard as it is

Forget about nursing school and start chasing veterinary school instead.

Make friends, and then go out with them and act like a normal early 20s woman

I’d make art, sing, be social

I’d start all the hobbies I’ve wanted to pursue without quitting immediately after because of feeling inadequate and scared of ruining it/never being good

I’d change my whole life.

Made more friends

Gone to university much sooner and have already built up an established career by my age rather than just starting out

Have started driving years earlier instead of now

Had more life experiences and travelled instead of being scared to leave the safety of my home.

Without anxiety I would not have had the life I've had (some parts of it at least) and I wouldn't be the person I am today.
