My toddler was the other way. He thought that “Beyond Meat” came from a mythical animal called “Beyond.” He even drew a picture of it one time. It was like a unicorn crossed with an electric eel
Beyonds are a fucking sick name. They're also the name for a very interesting phenomenon in Jorge Joestar, which is a batshit insane JoJo's Bizarre Adventure novel but it's pretty cool
Speaking of Adventure Time, there was one episode that repeatedly mentions a character named Meat Man who you could extract meat from without killing him.
"Hey Finn, you awake?"
"Huh?"
"I had a dream about Meat Man." Distant, haunted stare "I think I'm gonna stop eating Meat Man."
Definitely try an episode or two before showing the young one, if they're still on Peppa, it's geared a bit towards older kids. Lots of butt jokes and fighting, lol, but it's a very fun show.
it's a reference to the fact British Prime Minister David Cameron is rumoured (probably not true) to have placed his genitals inside the mouth of a dead pig as part of an initiation at Oxford
Shit I remember this comic someone made like at least a decade ago making a joke about exactly this kind of game
It was something like first a drawing of a screenshot of a browser farming type game listing animals like "chicken, gives 🥚x1 once a day, cow, gives 🥛X2 once a day, pig, gives 🥓X2 once a day" and then the dude goes like "hold on, don't pigs give bacon like only once per pig?" and then a panel with a pig with a surgery scar and a piece of bacon walking up to the guy saying "sorry boss only one bacon today..."
It’s okay to eat some humans because they’re the only species that’s capable of sin. It’s never okay to eat animals because they’re all innocent. Follow me for more great ethics tips!
My youngest saw sriracha tofu at Trader Joe’s and wanted me to buy the “dragon meat.” She did not like “dragon meat.”
As a preschooler, one of my older kids told me that humans are made of “meat and bones.” She wasn’t wrong but it does make strangers at Target uncomfortable to be told they’re made of “meat.” Flesh, yes. Meat… sort of implies they’re food.
Kids don't like the idea that we eat the gentle animals they're taught to love and care about. It's fucked up that we both do that, and also teach them that some people, persons, individuals with personalities, are not actually "supposed" to be cared about.

That sounds like a super fucking rad animal.
Rad as in radioactive?
Its probably fueled by the power of rainbows and electricity, so maybe
Now I feel old. And I'm 16.

Holy shit, Jorge Joestar mention in the wild. (And it's not the 36 Kars, for a change.) Criminally underrated book, that one.
also, Beyond Netero from HxH
Did he by chance watch Adventure Time. That sounds like a Rainicorn, lmao

So Jake had a dream about Agni from Fire Punch?
What a fucked up series, I still regret reading it sometimes
We haven’t gotten to Adventure Time just yet but now I kinda wanna watch it. Peppa Pig and Muppet Babies are the current clubhouse favorites
Definitely try an episode or two before showing the young one, if they're still on Peppa, it's geared a bit towards older kids. Lots of butt jokes and fighting, lol, but it's a very fun show.
it's also one of those shows that starts more episodic and then a few seasons later oops all plot
Butt jokes and fighting are kinda his MO at the moment but I will definitely screen it before diving headfirst in hahaha
That's so cool, I wanna eat beyond meat now
That sounds kinda like a loong (Chinese dragon), or at least some depictions.
I need a pic lol
Can your toddler create all the animals in the future?
Kebab comes from kebab animal.
The mythical steak beast.
What does beyond look like?
A unicorn crossed with an eel
The Beyond-now thats an apex predator on the food chain
Bot

do NOT pork the pig
straight up “porkin’ it”. and by “it”, haha, well. let’s justr say. My pig
First one of these that actually sounds like a serious innuendo
Yeah I cranked my hog today too
Mr. Cameron, we discussed this.
That’s all, folks!
who up porking they pig
Porky Pig has had a rough life.
didnt the UK prime minister do that idk why its not okay if he can
Not the current one. I think it was Cameron who was accused of porking a pig head
That child: I can excuse cannibalism but I draw the line an animal cruelty!
You can excuse Cannibalism??
A three year old can!
Please do not the pig.
You pork ONE pig...
...and then they make you prime minister?
I don't even know whether you are talking about Cameron or Johnson...
huh
it's a reference to the fact British Prime Minister David Cameron is rumoured (probably not true) to have placed his genitals inside the mouth of a dead pig as part of an initiation at Oxford
huh
That raises even more questions
It's a reference to a Black Mirror episode
I think it's the other way around though, he had to pork the pig BECAUSE he was the Prime Minister.
Or maybe there were two black mirror episodes about the prime minister fucking pigs.
Why was THAT the first episode? I never watched more after it but I will go back
Probably shock factor
It was the other way round. He was already PM.

There really is a relevant Calvin and Hobbes for everything and I’m glad to see it getting the attention it deserves
I was hoping someone would link this
My thoughts exactly!
Second kid may have played HayDay because you can pork pigs in that game
"pork" them in what sense?
When pigs get really fat, you put them in a sauna. They come out thinner and you get pork
So like how you get bacon in Hay Day?

Watermark says 2009... wtf, that's old
when he really believed you are what you eat
Tender is the Flesh moment
"Porking the pig" sure sounds like something politicians do though.
Me at first: Aww, this sounds like an adorable child
Me at the end of page 1: [Visibly uncomfortable]
Second one is just how hay day works
I’m imagining “porking the pig” like when you cut a slice off a loaf of bread. Because nobody eats a whole pig’s worth of meat at once.
That or it opens its mouth wide like a snake and a fucking slab of ham extrudes out
I mean I don't do cannibalism but there are people in this world that ....
And the cow didn't do anything to you.

Tell that to dolphins. I’m certain they could know sin
“But Bender, dolphins are intelligent!”
“Not this one! He blew all his money on instant lottery tickets.”
Dolphins know nothing but sin.
Some animals are definitely capable of sin and would greatly be offended if you doubted them on that point.
Like, geese and swans put in real effort to be fucking assholes, have some respect
Geese and swans were created to be utter bastards though, it’s not really sin when they’re just fulfilling their purpose
This poster is Calvin's mom from Calvin and Hobbes
This is just a Calvin and Hobbes comic

Their little brother saw this music video
And then he porks the pig.
I’ve invented a device called Burger on the Go.
why buy the pig when you only need the pork
DO NOT THE PIG !!
Ah yes, the Demon Barber of Preskett Kindergarten.
Plot twist: Soylent green is back on the menu kids
