(Humor on Hacker News is hard. I thought if I made two joke posts about goats, at least one would get modded up enough to undo the downvotes from the other.)

I always thought that was the GOAT use of goats.

This is my current daydream to own goats (because that's probably the best way to get consistent access to baby goats). I was specifically looking at the breed of Nigerian dwarf goats. There would be cheesemaking, vegetation clearing, and current dreams also include an apiary.

Ahhhh.... goats.

It helps that my cousin is quite the animal lover, went to vet school, and also works part time in a veterinarian's office.

Goats eat, say, English Ivy leaves, but they obviously don't eat all the roots.

English Ivy quickly grows back (even with mere inches of roots).

This requires another round of goats.

Goats-as-a-service subscription ftw!

Next obvious step would be some kind of goat-friendly muzzle on a few of the goats and a $9.99 "turbo" upcharge that unlocks the muzzles.

Edit: I think upcharge should instead "unlock up to 8 goat cores"

Then deliver them with drones for instant gratification.

Rolling your eyes for the term of a kid /J

("Kid" being originally "young goat".)
