Goats are annoying. Just farm vegetables or something.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Goats taste better than vegetables

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I disagree, but to each their own

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 44 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think this is negotiable. Vegetables don't have taste buds.

And me! Goat curry is one of my favourite things on the planet! So delicious!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Look, I tried milking the oat crop, but I just can't get my fingers around those little teats, so I'm sticking with the goats for now.

I don't want to be a goat farmer but I do find people that work hard to make management richer are insufferable.

""" A man is walking into the office when he sees his boss pull into the parking lot in a brand new sports car. "Wow! Nice car! How'd you afford that?" he says.

The boss smiles at him and says, "Listen. If you work hard, hit all your numbers this quarter, put in some overtime, then I can buy another one next quarter." """

yeah... fuck LinkedIn, Xing and all those social media made for career pigs.

UUuh look how successful I am working 80 hours per week for this prestige company.

No you idiot, you are a wage slave nothing more!

How else can I legally obtain enough currency to retire to my goat farm?

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 7 points 2 weeks ago

Try blacksmithing.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can buy land for 20k.

You can find people giving away goats for basically free online.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

If you want to make money out of goat farming theres a lot more to this than just a little bit of land and a few goats. Running a profitable goat farm means, that you either sacrifice all of your free time or that you scale up to a level where the goats are your only source of income. It isn't that easy and devinetively not that cheap to start with it. You need a stable for the goats, machines to bring food and water to it. You need the food itself. A trailer to move the goats from a to b, you need someone to sell your goats to and all of this must be as cheap as possible if you want to make a profit out of it.

wage slave

I think a lot of the people working that much make more money than they actually want to spend. The few that I know do. (They invest most of it.) They still want to have even more, but in the way that an athlete wants to set a new record.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I want to have enough to retire and not have to move to goat country, because I don't actually want to raise goats, I just want to work on my own engineering projects.

Goat farming is probably harder than most jobs on LinkedIn. Except you won't end as a ~~psychical~~ mental wreck.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Half right. Goats are arseholes. You can end up in a bad way if not careful.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Goats are arseholes.

Yes, but it's legal to shoot them in the back and consume their corpse.

I don't know about that. Farming involves a lot of physical labor. Also, goats have horns.

My wife's best friend grew up on a goat farm. She does not recommend it. She has stories.

Personally, I'd prefer cows to goats. They're like giant dogs 😃

I want to do my job that I like. Even make money for the shareholders. Nobody seems to be interested though so fuck it goat farming it is.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Speaking from someone who spent high school living on a goat farm, you don't want to have a goat farm.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

Goats are absolute assholes. This fuckers will find even the smallest hole in the fence and break out of it. Sheep are already bad, but goats are the worst.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm a farmer but fuck goats. They're creepy weird animals that destroy everything they're in contact with.

Cows can kill but at least they have pretty eyes.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm a farmer but fuck goats

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yah, I reread that and decided to let it stand to give somebody with sharper eyes than me a chuckle.

Bar owner for me. Seriously if my biggest worries were drunks and selling beer, real actual tangible problems instead of the shit in the corporate world. Im so tired of the corporate world

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The trick is to own a bar that doesn't get super busy so you make money but also don't have to deal with drunks getting into fights all the time and such.

[–] will_a113@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 weeks ago

I am definitely sliding down from the peak toward a trough. In which direction I can't say tho.

[–] big_fat_fluffy@leminal.space 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

To be fair, the pro-work propaganda is directed at the middle of the bell curve. That guy in the middle has bespoke mindfuck beamed into his brain 24-7, but the guys on the ends are well out of the line of fire.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

I want to make LSD and moonshine in my mountain compound with my comrades

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'll just say, compared to my day job, I'd rather be a goat farmer.

This shit is fucked.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

My "I wanna be a goat farmer," which I doubt will ever happen, is a recording studio with only pre-1950s equipment. Everything goes live into ribbon mics, through a tube mixer (pots, not faders!) and lathed directly onto a master disc. No digital anything, no multitrack, not even condenser mics. A place for musicians to record music like they did once upon a time...

I could never afford to do it, but it's a fun dream.

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My parents were the middle ones so now I got an MSc and a good career. Aaand I'm contemplating whether I should just be a goat farmer instead.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

I recommend against it. Goat farming isn't for everyone. You should start with sheep first, then slowly add goats. People who go for goats directly tend to fail more often than not.

I just wanna love on a boat going all over the place

Only problem is to get a boat that could do that (even going full cheap AF route) is so bloody expensive

Not to mention I basically have to have at least a small income stream otherwise I can't see a doctor

I keep looking at my spreadsheet going "someday"

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

If you can tolerate giving Musk $165 a month, Starlink makes it possible to work remote without issue on a boat. But also you have to give Elon $165 a month, so...

Or wait until Amazon has their own network so you can give Bezos your $165...yay.

I've often thought about this kind of thing myself. Hang in there, I guess. :/

[–] Zink@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago

I’m trying to have it both ways by keeping my desk job and building/upgrading a koi pond at home. I read more about the oxidation of organic compounds than about the compilation of code, and every day I inch further to the right in this meme.

I highly recommend having significant hobbies far outside your area of work.

I wanna be a goat farmer ಠ⁠◡⁠ಠ

[–] markko@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

No way in hell I'd want to be a farmer these days. That shit seems like the most stressful career possible.

Something like gardener/groundskeeper looks good to me though.

[–] Brewchin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I feel seen...
