In myth, Prometheus stole fire from the Underworld to give to man. Brave Prometheus, friend to man. But this was no mere mortal flame, but the fire of curiosity, of knowledge. In effect, Prometheus gave mankind science. This affront was so great, Zeus, king of the gods, damned Prometheus to be chained to a mountain top and have his liver pecked out each day by Zeus' eagle, only to regrow in the night so he might suffer eternally. Only this would equal his crime. For Prometheus had given man power equal to the gods themselves. When Eve took the apple, she was taking knowledge equal to God's. She shared this with Adam. Essentially, Eve gave Adam fire. It is possible then, is it not, that rather than being cast from paradise, man instead simply burned it down.

So from Drs studying anatomy and tradesmen using their fur for clothing and their guts for violin string to peasants eating them, there was always a need to skin a cat. The important part though is that people use that phrase incorrectly: The phrase originated at a time after the aforementioned time period in which cats were no longer being used in Europe for those things anymore. People use the phrase to say there are many ways to do something but that is only part of it. The idea is this: Yes there are many ways to do a particular thing....but why are we even doing it? Basically there are many ways to skin a cat but why are we even skinning a cat. The phrase is meant to be used to describe an activity that people could do multiple different ways but is basically pointless to even do anyway.

This is why you will usually only hear experts in their fields use the phrase today when referring to a project from up top that doesn't make sense to perform. An example of this is: Supervisor wants the part out of the generator taken out and replaced for preventative maintenance, there are many ways to get to that part without taking out the whole thing.....but the whole generator is scheduled to be replaced with a new one sitting on the shelf in its crate next week. In this instance: The phrase will be uttered and then the job said to be done but they went to lunch early instead or they just unbolt the generator in question and swap in the new one a week early and then since it took less than a tenth of the time, they go to lunch early instead.
Also according to Dante in Paradiso, it only took something like 6 hours between god telling Adam and Eve to leave the tree alone to them eating from it. I can't remember if it was hours or minutes but either way it's hilarious.
Well if we look at biblical time......that doesn't really narrow it down. Scientists say the Universe appears to be 13.7 Billion years old....but Bible says God made it and the Earth in 6 days and rested for a 7th. So if we take the conversion literally, and not ever changing (because our current mortal perception of time is linear unlike a multidimensional being), a day is 1.9 Billion years long. So 6 hours would be 489.2 million years and 6 minutes would be 8.4 million years. hour 81.5 million minute 1.4 million So it took them somewhere between 8.4 million years to 489.2 million years to eat from the tree...I think they did alright. lmfao

People who want to confirm that it does, indeed, shock the puppy. 4. People who would push it out of pure spite, despite the consequences. 5. People who "don't like to be told what to do". 6. People who genuinely just don't like puppies. 7.

The same might also be curious whether or not the shock would ever truly "harm" the puppy long term (like death or permanent injury). Humans do a lot of stuff for various reasons. You can't really guarantee any particular consequence is a "deterrant". Each "deterrant" needs to be decently specific to the human involved. I mean, you could tell a human, "if you push the big red button, you will receive a serious electrical shock", and you'd still have a decently large amount of takers who would try it once, and probably a surprising amount who would do it 2 or more times. Even self-harm isn't a deterrant to most humans.
