  • Unclean doesn’t always mean “dirty”. A lot of things that are considered unclean by different religions are considered so because they’re spiritually unclean, rather than literally filthy. Historical riligious objections to pork are probably because of human-transmissible parasites and disease like trichinosis, which aren’t as much of a concern anymore.


  • They actually don’t. I’ve raised pigs, and they keep themselves clean- they pick one corner of the pen to shit in and a different corner to sleep and eat in, given the opportunity. The idea that they shit where they eat is probably (dunno for sure) because they clean themselves by taking dust baths, and when it rains, the wallow turns into mud. They roll in the mud to stay cool when it’s hot sometimes, but it isn’t shit.

    We had a pig when I was a kid who could work the lock on her pen and escape into the fields next door to eat grass. They’re pretty smart.



  • Normally, when I see something like “C/C++” it means that there’s a significant overlap between the two languages, so knowledge of one implies or coincides with knowledge of the other. But C# and C++ are very different languages, and while you could argue that there’s some sense in which they’re related, it isn’t much of one. If you’re going to list “C#/C++” then you could just as well put “Java/C#”, or “C++/Rust”.
