You know who also owns dark clothes, goats and a pointy hat?

Esmeralda "Granny" Weatherwax!

Coincidence? I think not!

[-] Im_old@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Not enough hobnails on those boots, but I had the same idea!

[-] Enkrod@feddit.de 16 points 4 months ago

Yes, Granny would be stumped by the lack of good hard boots, but she's also all about practicality and those sneakers look well worn, and practical for the climate. Also there's good, hard rock underfoot, you can grow good witches on hard rock.

goat herder my ass, wizard

[-] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 39 points 4 months ago

I bet she has a side-quest.

[-] EllE@lemmy.world 33 points 4 months ago

I love that she's dressed in this ominous witch-like outfit and then she's also just like wearing sneakers.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 29 points 4 months ago

So you're telling me this is not a level 12 arch-wizard?

[-] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 6 points 4 months ago

Are you a virgin and 40+?

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

No. Yes.

[-] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 6 points 4 months ago

Then you are no level 12 arch-wizard.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Correct. And I don't have one of those fancy hats either.

[-] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 3 points 4 months ago

Not having one of those hats is what's doing it for the most part. Probably.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

So only half wizard.

[-] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 2 points 4 months ago

No, you need to fulfill both conditions

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

I vote more occupations have wizard robes as their official uniform.

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

wow what a fascinatingly stupid article. they wear black because its thicker fabric.

[-] TurtleJoe@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

It's a shitty ai article, but that's not what it says.

[-] skeptomatic@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 months ago

"Additionally, it has been said that black clothing works well under the sun if it was worn loosely and not clinging to the skin.".
OH! IT's bEEn SAiD!
Article may as well start, "As a large language model, ..."

My blackmage glam:

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 13 points 4 months ago

If it works im curious why only female herders use it. Are the male herders like super chad. What! to hot for you. gotta wear the girls hat. Its not even hot today. Its like only 103.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

Probably because male herders don't have to wear all black, or cover their entire face.

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 6 points 4 months ago

geez. I did not even notice that. crazy.

[-] Hexagon@feddit.it 10 points 4 months ago

Goats, you shall not pass!

[-] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

New WOW build just droped

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

[-] Localhorst86@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

You shall not pass (out due to a heat stroke)!

[-] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I'd love a nice capretto sand witch, light on the mustard.

[-] LordCrom@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

But does she weigh more than a duck?
