Because I have no experience with said stupid ‘metaphor’, I’ve never heard it as a metaphor before today.

Coming from over 10 years on a horse/donkey ranch, I speak from real life experience. I didn’t realize that people were so dumb as to think you whip such a large animal with a stick, that’s just fucking stupid and asking to die by the animal’s hooves.

So once again, there’s a reason they make horse/donkey whips, and if you don’t know what that is, well go spend a few days on a large animal farm and learn how dangerous the untrained can be.

You don’t use a stick on a donkey or a horse, unless you want your face kicked in and trampled to death.

Have any of you ever heard of a horse whip? When used correctly, they exceed the speed of sound, and keep trainers and riders at a safe distance from them.

I don’t give a fuck about some stupid metaphor that probably came from republican propaganda when they have no experience on a farm.

Funny you think you are.

You don’t hit a donkey or a horse with a stick, unless you want your face kicked in. Which actually happened on our ranch, thankfully not to me though.

You ever heard of a horse whip? Do you know how to use them? They’re usually over 8 feet long, and when swung, aimed and popped correctly, that pop exceeds the speed of sound, keeping the trainers at a safe distance with a safe advantage.

Wanna try again troll? I literally grew up on a horse ranch, and the proper tools of training horses and donkeys would rip your flesh open.

I’ve known how to ride horses and donkeys since I was 6 years old, I grew up on a horse ranch.

I don’t need no fucking examples dumbass, I lived it.

Oh crap you’re right!

It’s totally borking up metric vs imperial, in the dumbest epic way possible!

Read OP’s post again, it literally says “carrot and stick”.

I’m not about to nitpick or argue my life experience with someone that’s probably never rode a horse or donkey in their life, doesn’t know how to read, and goes to Google for all their information.

I do appreciate you for looking into older references, but I was hoping for some articles from before the digital era, like a scan or three from a couple encyclopedias or other relevant articles before the modern digital era.

Find me something from like 1950-60 and I might be more inclined to believe it. Other than that, given my life experience, I tend to believe what I literally learned on the horse ranch.

Granted that ChatGPT obviously did better regarding the entrance, but at a glance, neither one of them created a service closet for air conditioning or hot water…

Edit: Meant for that to be a top level comment, but whatever.

I asked for before the enshittification era.

I’m not about to trust a controversial article that could have been manipulated by almost anyone these days.

It’s mostly because of fatty foods. The fats/oils tend to solidify in the colder temperatures of sewage lines, ultimately causing clogged lines.

Our waste though has generally digested a large amount of that fat, whether it gets built up on your belly and ass or whether a lot of it gets expelled in the sweat.

Edit: Also, ideally, bacteria helps a lot with breaking down human waste and toilet paper, making the waste easier to flow through the pipes.

Can you provide me a couple older references to this? Preferably before the year 2000, or at least before the AI and enshittification era?

Well, seeing as how I grew up on a horse ranch, I can totally confirm the ‘cartoon logic’ you speak of is absolutely real, and is used to help train at least some donkeys and horses.

It’s more like teasing them to go after something they can never have.

Don’t talk about your mom like that.

You don’t hit the donkey with the stick silly! 😂🤣

You sit on the donkey and use the stick like a fishing pole. Dangle the carrot in front of the donkey’s face with a string, and the donkey will walk in whichever direction you guide it.

You’d remember shit like being a plankton, a slug, a housefly, a dung beetle, a rat, a squirrel, a raccoon, a double headed snake (fuck Larry life), a cat, a sloth, and finally a human.

Good luck with that.

Interesting. It might have been more effective if it had a roof instead of a clear dome, to block the sun…

Hey yo, when the rent is only about $200 a month, they can arrange the fence any way they want.

My dad had a habit of collecting random junk, particularly electronics and appliances, for parts or repair. I’m not sure what device it was that it came out of, as it was only the base of the device with two of those capacitors and a pretty big transformer.

One of the capacitors failed and started leaking the electrolyte out as soon as I tried testing it, but the other one apparently worked fine at least.

Amateurs. Cut it with some Red Bull, we can easily pump these numbers up to 20 or more!

I live in an area with similar fencing. It’s most likely a gated community, with only one entrance and exit. That makes it a lot easier to catch the occasional criminal in an apartment complex…

The lower end of the bars being somewhat lifted and having a trail under it might not be an accident, they might have done that to allow turtles and other wildlife passages.
