Absolutely incredible headline, but kind of a fucked up article. They're hurting camels to win a pagent, what the hell.

Now remember that child pageants exist.

Wikipedia recently picked me this article to rabbithole. These bots are supposed to replace child slaves because the usual adult camel riders just doesn't tickle the same, huh

The slave is under the robot

Did you know the biomass of farmed mammals is 30 times greater than wild mammals? Our industrialized suffering is enormous.

You show up to the camel show and your camel's got a body kit, a lift kit, a wing, and 3 fake Nitrous bottles and assure the judges "yeah its stock"

Hump Plumper is a low key insult or props. The tone and context are key.

[-] rhythmisaprancer@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago

Hump plumping sounds like part of a job description for a fluffer!

[-] Soulphite@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago

Guys will hump anything.

[-] hemmetti@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 4 points 2 months ago

Jesus, those poor animals

[-] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 3 points 2 months ago

What is it about our species that we can’t just keep to ourselves? Was the “pageant” really necessary in the first place?

[-] raman_klogius@ani.social 2 points 2 months ago
