Gork ( @Gork@lemm.ee ) 31•3 months ago“best goat”
Goat Of All Time
Vanlandingham confessed to police that she deliberately poisoned the goat because she believed the animal’s owner was “a cheater”
How do you even cheat with a goat? The whole thing is ridiculous.

FarFarAway ( @FarFarAway@startrek.website ) English27•3 months agoOne time, we all got hauled out to someone’s farm, for ag class, to watch pigs get castrated. A student was handling all the procedures until they got to the the likely prize show pig another student owned. The teachers husband took over and preformed the procedure. That likely prize pig, and only that pig, died that day. Rumor had it, that he purposefully botched the procedure so his own kid could win.
Im just sitting here wondering why this is making the rounds, except for this girl got caught. This is the par for the course and happens more often than one would think.

stinky ( @stinky@redlemmy.com ) English1•3 months agoRead my original comment - that’s the point I’m trying to make
AbeilleVegane ( @AbeilleVegane@beehaw.org ) 8•3 months agoYour original comment is unclear or unnecessary, I think that’s why people are confused.
stinky ( @stinky@redlemmy.com ) English1•3 months agoAre you confused about the point I was making?
I don’t think any of the folks who responded are; it’s mostly angry noise from people who need to share an opinion but haven’t researched any current events sufficiently to provide one. It’s what I call “dogpiling” where they jump into a discussion which starts with critique even if they don’t agree with (or understand) it because the act of sharing their opinion is more important than learning anything. Your comment is similar, but I’m sure you can see that now. :)
Anyway, I won’t waste any more time educating you folks. My point is the first sentence of my original comment. If reading comprehension is the issue here maybe you could reach out to your educational institution for a refund, assuming you paid for it.
