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!

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"

[–] Hule@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Don't forget the ticks!

[–] SurpriZe@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Fashtas@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month 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.

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

PETA handout.

[–] ooterness@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago (5 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...

[–] MinFapper@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month 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.

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month 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.

[–] CaptnNMorgan@reddthat.com 4 points 1 month ago

But then what are you putting over the fence next?

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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?

What if you eat the wolf first

[–] ooterness@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] Hellstormy@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Repeat exercise until you have finished your workout.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Hellstormy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 8 points 1 month ago

One must imagine green overall lady happy.

[–] janAkali@lemmy.one 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Need another guide for the step F, because how the f do you not drop the sheep with that awkward grip?

[–] Restaldt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It's not so much a grip on step f as a twisting jerking motion

You know. Standard lifting procedure.

[–] SurpriZe@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Have you ever held a live, non-sedated sheep before...

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month 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.

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

400 cushioned the fall of the other 1100.

[–] Daqu@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That’s a damn big lamb. It’s as big as an adult!

[–] Hule@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Small people shaming ain't cool!

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

Hamlet of Walls in West Sheeperton, Wales.

[–] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What's wrong with the trebuchet?

[–] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Crazy how often this comes up.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

This yeets the lamb.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

[–] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Great, NOW you tell me.

[–] awesome_lowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bad guide. Lift with your knees, people

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They lift it with at least one knee

[–] _______@poeng.link 2 points 1 month ago

Halfway there!
