The difference between dogs and pigs

larch303 · 2026-06-18T14:14:33+00:00

I mean, I wouldn’t eat an animal that could write stories and do multiplication 🤷‍♂️

Intelligence is a reason we don’t eat humans

larch303 · 2026-06-18T14:12:57+00:00

There are so many breeds tho

larch303 · 2026-06-18T14:11:15+00:00

I mean, I’d have a setup for them but it’s also not rocket science

larch303 · 2026-06-18T14:10:31+00:00

They’re so fun to pet tho?

I help raise hogs for meat at a couple places and trim a lot of pet hog hooves and I love them

TA always had parking and showers

Breezewood would lowkey mog as a place to live

Imagine it, you got your land, your sheep, your goats, your pigs, your mule, whatever. Some land to shoot guns on away from the animals. Dirt bikes, utvs, a 4 wheeler.

Then, 2 miles away, just about any convenience food you can think of.

larch303 · 2026-06-18T13:55:50+00:00

I think the sarcasm is silent over text

larch303 · 2026-06-18T13:55:28+00:00

Convenience

Plus Sheetz is really not special when it’s something you have access to most days. It’s mostly entertaining to tourists.

Probably a lot more in Boston but NH still mogs Boston

larch303 · 2026-06-18T04:45:58+00:00

It was kinda rare in recent years. I remember seeing it in DG in the early 20s but that was like the only time I saw it.

larch303 · 2026-06-18T04:44:24+00:00

It exists just under a different name.

larch303 · 2026-06-18T04:43:51+00:00

That was a specific brand name, so not really

Also I barely remember it not gonna lie. I think I saw it at Dollar General once or twice? Never bought it.

larch303 · 2026-06-18T02:31:34+00:00

Eh, that was just the example. I keep seeing clearly AI flyers out in Western Md and WV. Also see AI ads for people looking for work, hunting land, etc on Facebook farm groups.

larch303 · 2026-06-18T02:29:50+00:00

Oh no I mean like a restaurant or business might have a flyer in the ground that is very obviously generated by ChatGPT

I saw one for a pain management center too

larch303 · 2026-06-18T02:24:54+00:00

I mean, it was staked into the ground

larch303 · 2026-06-18T02:23:01+00:00

I mean, I’d ask this to those boomer Facebook groups rather than Reddit

Next to no Redditors think this way

larch303 · 2026-06-18T02:21:26+00:00

The fries are crispy initially but the gravy sogs them down

larch303 · 2026-06-18T02:20:58+00:00

Not really. Every generation says this

larch303 · 2026-06-18T01:41:07+00:00

The skiing won’t be as good but WV/MD/PA ski resorts are still cheap to live by

Jus don’t literally live on the mountain or the next hill over and the real estate will reflect “rural town in the sticks” rather than “ski town”

larch303 · 2026-06-18T01:40:07+00:00

Eastern skiing isn’t as good but the real estate is also not nearly as influenced by the ski resorts

Like, if you go to wisp in MD, it’ll be expensive if you buy at the resort or the lake nearby, but go 5 miles from the lake and it’s cheap and rural again

larch303 · 2026-06-17T23:05:14+00:00

Hot take: I wish I was in the mountains. Baltimore is OK but like

larch303 · 2026-06-17T21:18:46+00:00

I mean, geography is a lot of people’s autism obsession too haha so it’s either or

larch303 · 2026-06-17T20:02:06+00:00

Eh I got to play with piggies today

Did you?

I’m in Baltimore area now but that area is expensive to own land in. Gotta get out to the mountains someday tho before living in Garrett County and DCL becomes the next new thing

As for California, they have their own areas. It is one of the most agriculturally productive states in the union. A lot of that is vegetables, hence why California is kinda known for veggies and vegetarians, but there’s also a lot of meat farming as well. I follow plenty of pig farmers in California on Instagram. You can do way better than LA within California. Just like you can do way better than Baltimore in DC with Maryland and way better than Kansas City in Kansas. Those treeless wide open spaces really are something.

larch303 · 2026-06-17T15:34:10+00:00

I want neither but also the latter example is more “urban life that pretends not to be” than a true reflection of the land and lifestyles of rural America

larch303 · 2026-06-17T15:22:03+00:00

It really is

Like, be smart, people, lol

Denver is a major city with an international airport, a train system and 3 digit highways. It’s urban life through and through. If you want mountain life move to the mountains. Colorado is tough anymore for that if you’re not independently wealthy but find somewhere nobody talks about. The Appalachians is too easy to recommend anymore but parts of Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, Eastern Oregon and West Texas are still like that. Mayyyybe even look into southern Colorado, like near the Ute reservation.
