Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

I wonder if that sheep was just paralyzed from shock or actually just didnt have any grip on the rock. Either way it just flopped down the hill like a bouncy ball.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Shockingly similar to putting your black out drunk friends into bed after a party.

Don't forget a bucket or trash can.

And to put them on their side so they don’t asphyxiate if they throw up

Few steps missing, the squirming, the unexpected discovery it is twice the weight you thought it was, the pointy hooves and contact with various fleshy parts of your anatomy and catching the bloody thing in the first place.

Honestly from a lamb-over-the-wall perspective this is very much "draw the rest of the owl"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Don't forget the ticks!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So how many sheep tossings do you have under your belt exactly

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Dozens, and many over the belt too!

Can't have children anymore though :/

I like to think this woman is some random agent of chaos letting a sheep out of a farmer's fields.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

PETA handout.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Okay, but what if I have a lamb, a cabbage, and a wolf? Obviously I can only bring one at a time over the wall, but the lamb will eat the cabbage if I'm not there...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Is that from a riddle?

Based on what you've given so far, you can just take the lamb first, since the wolf won't eat the cabbage.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

The original riddle is a boat or gondola across the river that can only fit yourself and one thing.

It's not that hard of a riddle, it's just that you have to apply the same logic to the other side too.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Right, but what do you take next? And what do you do when you're going back to get the third thing, leaving whatever's on the other side unsupervised?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

But then what are you putting over the fence next?

What if you eat the wolf first

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

That's some genius-level out of the box thinking. You're hired!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wolf eats sheep while you're yeeting the cabbage.

J) Hop over fence, go back to step A.

Repeat exercise until you have finished your workout.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Workout? I thought we were trying to help the little fella realise the grass is only greener 50% of the time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Ah yes, now I see. How nice of the sheep for helping the person to realize that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

One must imagine green overall lady happy.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Thought this was a joke but watched Clarksons Farm and read those little fuckers are suicide machines

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They’re like fluffier hamsters. You breathe on them wrong and poof, they’re dead. It’s like every sheep is somehow genetically programmed to find the most creative way to end their own existence. And usually that of those around them.

Back in 2005, around 1500 of them jumped off a cliff in Turkey. 400 of them died.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

400 cushioned the fall of the other 1100.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I bet there was a run on ground lamb at the closest supermarket the next day.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ah so I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

See, you gotta coax the sheep with some dancin to get em in the mood.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What's wrong with the trebuchet?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Nothing, but sometimes you don't want to be right to such an extreme degree.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Rogue lambs, walls everywhere, this will definitely come in handy.

Hamlet of Walls in West Sheeperton, Wales.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Crazy how often this comes up.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

This yeets the lamb.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

I will save and cherish this for the rest of my life, hoping to make use of it someday.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Forgot the last step

Little green women

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Great, NOW you tell me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bad guide. Lift with your knees, people

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They lift it with at least one knee

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Halfway there!
