Aww, you’re missing out homie!

There’s a couple or few different renditions by different artists. To me, I thought they were silly cute, if not just a slight bit creepy…

I like the various silly artist renditions of what the mascot’s skeleton looks like 😂

Ah, thank you very much in advance! It’s a bit late here and I’m soon to head to bed, but I have used hdparm before, thanks for the reminder!

I’m saving your comment and will look into it more tomorrow, or soon at least. Thanks! 👍

I don’t need to look at the articles, I literally grew up on a horse/donkey/goat ranch. Besides, why would I look into articles suggesting to abuse the farm animals?

I bet most everyone, including the Wikipedia article writers, and even the references they mention, most of them have probably never even rode a horse or donkey before. I have though.

There are proper ways of training large farm animals, and beating them with a stick isn’t one. That’s straight up animal abuse. And such large animals will quickly remind you who is in charge by stomping your skull in.

I learned how to peacefully and safely train animals. Dangle a carrot in front of a donkey, you can guide it around all day, until the work shift is over and you guide it to the food trough.

Why is everyone sharing links on how to beat animals with sticks, when I’m literally explaining from experience that there are much better ways to train farm animals?

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.

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.

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.
