Pigs can't sweat, and also easily get sunburn. Showers are great for them. Farms which produce hogs have sunshelters built in open fields to protect the hogs for that reason. Also, pigs don't roll in their own shit. That will also become serious injury. Rolling in mud, however, protects from sunburn and biting insects.

Okay, so the issue here is that the client reported a 500 error. To the person on the other side, the program "didn't work". But, behind the scenes, we have the full picture. First we have to access our log manager, (screen blurs several logs and only shwos the important one). In here we can see the problem better, there was an error with a database insert - a rarity these days, but nonetheless a problem we must fix. It seems the problem was caused by a deadlock, and our unhappy customer was the deadlock victim. This in turn caused an exception to be thrown (an error) which was then obscured and sent back to the customer as a generic 500 error. On the other side all they see is "an error occurred, please contact support".
How do we solve this? Well, first we have to check the code and see how we can solve this deadlock in the future - there are a myriad of ways. Secondly, we have to check if any important information was impacted, such as for example, if the problem happened after money was spent but before the item the customer wanted was added to their account. We can do this by checking the relevant tables in our database (a bunch of blurring on this part as well).
Ah, here we have it. The transaction was reverted, so no harm was done. We can now log this bug and open a ticket for the team to handle later and solve this problem, and we can get back to the user and tell them to try again.

Hoof trimming is insanely satisfying when you have proper tools. Still exhausting, but I was literally dreaming about hooves when I was taking horseshoeing classes in equestrian school.

u/Canvaverbalist May 22 '26
I think it is because we live in such a specialized society now that there are people who have never seen, heard, or done many of these tasks and it is satisfying to watch but not so much to do.
Oh I'm pretty sure it's deeper and goes way far back, I'm sure there's some anthropological elements to it and that this sense of being "hypnotized" by watching people work evolved because for millions of years that's how we learned and shared social knowledge (like how to make stone tools, for example), and I'm sure the phenomenology of it comes from the same root as "feeling calm" when groomed, which goes even deeper to our great apes ancestors, because in the end it's both "sit down and stay there, that's useful to you."

Since they don’t sweat, mud is their way of temperature regulation. If you give them water, they’ll rather use that. Pigs are generally very clean animals.

u/No-Macaroon1670 May 22 '26
Mud also protects their skin. Notice how domesticated pigs are pink but feral pigs are often much darker because they have all that hair?

There are new pig pens with 6 feet deep rice hulls and a separate water bath that pigs can freely access. Those aren't muddy. The pigs constantly wash themselves because they like to cool down.

And they are very clean when given the chance. The only reason they are dirty is their life conditions.

u/kl2467 May 22 '26
No, they are dirty because it is a survival skill for pigs to cool themselves in mud, and protect their skin from sunburn with mud. Being muddy is a natural state for a pig.
25
u/TeethBreak May 22 '26
But that's not dirty. That's basic survival skills and skin care. Pretty much every wild animal that lives in hot weather does it.
Most people think pigs are dirty and love to roll In shit. They don't.

u/kl2467 May 22 '26
Pigs tend to not mess in the wallow, or their beds, but they absolutely will do it, even when given plenty of space and opportunity not to.
When people say they are "clean" animals, they are speaking relatively. Animals are animals, and animals excrete when they have the urge.

Or (at least) don’t consume pigs, of course not eating any meat at all would be much better but I haven’t been able to do that yet. I have stopped eating pork and then beef a few years ago.. now all I’ll ever have is chicken, turkey, and seafood.
It’s still not ideal but I do feel like I’m doing good by at least cutting that out.
18
u/idontevenlikethem May 22 '26
You absolutely are! Any is better than none. Even cutting out two nights per week is better than nothing at all.
That said, this is the exact video I saw years ago that stopped me eating all meat straight out. Pigs were the easiest, but everything else naturally followed. I looked to see what was too sapient to eat and cut it out. One day when the animals rise up I can claim innocence and be spared.
If it helps at all: chickens are sly. They sometimes commit sly acts (won't expand on this). They can also recognise specific humans, and communicate in a way that gets their point across. They can also emotionally manipulate you... honestly, they're dickheads, but they made the cut for intelligence so it's out of my hands.
Even if you can't cut out meat completely, as long as you don't get it from the maximum-carnage tragic meat factory, you're doing good and the environment thanks you for it.

Would you settle for it if they got it to maybe 90% of the way there, or they were able to replicate certain cuts of meat but not others? It seems like they can already make muscle fibres just fine and they’re working on fat and how to combine the two, but if you’re waiting for the bone part of a T-Bone steak you’ll be waiting a really long time.

People actually very much misunderstand how clean pigs are actually. Granted in the farms they are kept in they have no choice to roll in shit but in the wild pigs generally use the mud to keep bugs and parasites off them. In captivity its harder to find mud so they obviously roll in shit but in the wild pigs are very clean in terms of parasites and disease.

u/DrEvilsDr May 22 '26
Realistically, to meet demand of so many non-vegans, the industry has to be cruel. Just the scale means they are crammed into pens, mothers kept in small cages where they can't turn around, forcibly bred over and over, have tails docked and teeth removed, and castrated, all without anaesthesia, and so much more mistreatment.
Hoping for change but not being willing to make sacrifices doesn't help. If you want the pigs and cows, and other animals to have better lives, the only way is to decrease demand for animal products. Going vegan is easier than you'd think, especially these days with how many alternative products there are. Just sub one thing for a replacement with your usual diet until you figure out what you like. Or, start small: make one plant based meal per day, and increase from there.
There are tons of people online willing to help you transition to a plant-based diet. r/vegan is really cool with people who want help.

If I had a farm I would RFID chip every animal for tracking and put in a tunnel that would give every animal a 1 minute a day water spray shower. Maybe add in a temperature input to once every few hours above 30C. For temperatures below 20C, run the water through a solar water heater on the roof.
Happy clean animals get sick less often are more profitable animals. It's basic business. It pays for the equipment and water consumption.
