Can someone explain to me why people keep talking about male sheep from Eastern Germany?
Apparently everyone wants them and there's not enough to go around?
This is so weirdly specific. Why is a DDR ram is so distinctly desirable suddenly?

@rysiek I don't know what the sheep are up to these days, we don't tend to talk very much. 🤔
@rysiek You misunderstand. DDR rams aren't from the Deutsche Demokratische Republik, they're actually just good at Dance Dance Revolution & everyone wants to play it with them.
@rysiek You've got it all wrong, it's not East Germany.
It's sheep who can play Dance Dance Revolution. Breeders specialize in sheep with improved leg dexterity then they're trained from birth to enhance their sense of rhythm.
Then they go to competitions and can make their owners a lot of money if they win.
@rysiek It's so frustrating. You ask the question only to see everyone Dodge it.
@rysiek Well played, and argh, and groan. 🤣
What have you done? 
This post is on fire.
@h3artbl33d I'm just asking questions! :blobcatpeek:
Apparently for some fascist tech bros involved in AI circke-jerk tech bubble, computer hardware gives them a massive hard-on.
Must be an afridisac I guess, so they've bought up the world supply. Hence prices increase 🤨
Ewe would have to wander.
Their less contaminated by airborne nuclear testing? 😀
@rysiek You see, a huge amount of wool that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be used in sweaters that have also not been produced in order to place them in stores that have not yet been built, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.

@rysiek
Its not the Rams themselves its the ram "Chips" which is the dried feces. Used to produce a product incorrectly referred to as Bullshit and they are scaling it up a lot these days.
@rysiek it's because they're smart! Smarter than AI investment at any rate.
@rysiek Oh it is so simple to explain!
Most sheep are quite skittish so you can only pat them once before they run away.
DDR rams on the other hand are two-stroke sheep.
@rysiek I did not get this until the second cup of coffee. I even went searching for an answer.
Well done.
@Spencerlindsay I hope this will remain a pleasant memory!
@rysiek Well, if you really want a ramming you need a ram.
Beyond that I think it's just the accent. Sets the mood.
@rysiek
Wait, isn't it about an eastern germany alcoholic distillate made from sugar cane?
@rysiek chyba zbyt niszowy ten dad joke :D
@ThePolishDispatch no nie wiem, robi numerki mocno
@rysiek male eastern European sheep are well known for their Dance Dance Revolution skills, and are needed for agricultural competitions
@rysiek Because SDR RAMs have half the bandwidth and generally higher latency. They're very sluggish by today's standards.
I think it's to do with Artificial Insemination or something like that.
@rysiek I see you're having a great Sunday too :)
@Szescstopni I will be, as soon as I figure this thing out. Been reading about sheep breeds till 4am and it makes no sense.
@rysiek What a fascinating subject. In other rabbit holes, I'm reading about sheep dogs.
