How often should you shampoo your Baphomet? Asking for a friend.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Assuming you're a mortal, you shouldn't have to worry about it in your lifetime. However, if you have sold your soul for immortality, you should wash once every 666th celestial alignment. CAUTION! You should never use regular soap and water, especially anything marketed as sacred or holy water, as this can agitate the skin. Instead, you can find chicken blood in the meat department, or sometimes it is labeled as fishing bait. This is an all-natural alternative. Don't be afraid to experiment by making your own—there's nothing quite like organic, homemade products, and you can use higher-quality ingredients than what you find in stores, such as sheep's blood or the blood of your firstborn. Your immortal soul will thank you for it—oops, silly you, you already sold that.

Don't shampoo goats, they fuckin hate water and will be massive assholes about it

Brush them every few days or so and they're fine (that's overkill but I like to let mine) and if something nasty gets on them soaking the brush with warm water usually makes them okay-ish with the water so you can get the gunk off em

Baphomet, being a goat and from hell, is very similar I'd assume, but probably even more averse to water

Counterpoint: create a field of brambles for your goats to wander through when they get itchy so you don’t have to brush them.

Bonus: those brambles are blackberry bushes so you can wander through them and eat breakfast.

And gather goat fur to spin into cordage or make brushes from.

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Won't the goats just eat the blackberry bushes?

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was literally about to reply to them

Yeah, immediately and voraciously

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They're hired out in lots of places because of their appetite for things others won't eat. The blackberry has become invasive in parts and the thick growths of them can become impenetrable

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeap, and they'll eat right through the "impenetrable" bushes like they're nothing, it's super impressive

This is one of mine that destroyed a couple of my berry bushes when they broke down my fence

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What a goat! I assume they're responsible for the broken planter tray as well?

Also I didn't see the alt text until I replied. Do you have more pictures of your beasties?? I love goats!

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago

That was actually a plate that got accidentally left out and yeah, that little shit is the one responsible for it

I have more pics over at https://pixelfed.social/gamermanh - though I don't remember to post nearly often enough. Which is a good reminder to do so now, actually.....

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Free trimming.

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 2 days ago

The wet brush didn't work for me, what others don't mention is the heat. A wet brush melts away quickly, Baphomet need specialized metal tooth comb (the kind you use with hell cats).

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

If you are good at metallurgy, you can identify the dirt substance and develop magma, specific to cleaning that particular thing.

Normally, just use Hellflame lvl10 and then brush off the ashes.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Not more than once a month. Their natural skin oils protect against the fires of hell

[–] kenoh@lemm.ee 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Mfw the goat is goated

[–] bitofarambler@crazypeople.online 56 points 2 days ago (2 children)

[–] compostgoblin@slrpnk.net 15 points 2 days ago
[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

is there a version in English with the author's info attached? i want to share it with my English speaking friends, but not be a fuck about it.

[–] bitofarambler@crazypeople.online 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

i copy pasted the English language comic onto the info for you:

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

hell yeah, thanks buddy.

[–] Baguette@lemm.ee 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Have they pet this goat yet

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah he was available to meet as part of the All 4 Kids foundation on several occasions.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

When your demon becomes your holy guardian angel. ❤️🏵️

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There's a manga where that's the original premise, except the summoner immediately asks the demon to marry him instead

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'd be interested in seeing it. Do you know the title?

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 1 day ago

Hi, thanks so much. I'll watch it this weekend, after silence shatters.

It doesn't matter if it's great or not. These types of fables tend to hold deep symbolic meaning. It floats my boat.

Goats sure are neat

[–] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago

Black Philip!

How can you possibly pet all the goats? Google AI helped me calculate that there are over a billion goats in the world and nearly 2 million new goats born every day.

edit: You'd have to pet 1.7 million goats per day to finish in 1 year. this doesn't seem to add up. sorry. I tried. it's not possible is all I'm saying. But if you could, Baphomet would probably find you.

[–] swab148@startrek.website 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We might need a simulator for this

[–] LoreSoong@startrek.website 3 points 2 days ago

Honestly that would go hard. The ending is a boss fight against baphomet where you climb him shadow of collosus style to give him pets.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

AI helped me calculate

there is a problem there

Even ignoring that, the person in the comic knows magic. Do you not think there is a pet 1.7 million goats spell?
