Pig shit fitbit lit pig pen

I’m struggling to parse this headline

It’s not the 1st of April yet!

Someone is telling Porkies!

Is this not battery farming?

😲

Go home, headline. You're drunk.

Do you people get paid for this gobbledegook

Someone's for the chop

Pedopig Pyropoo......

'Pedometer-eating Pig Poo'? Wasn't that an album by King Crimson?

Smokey bacon, CareyHolzman's favourite crisps(chips)!!! Love your work CareyHolzman 👍👍👍👍

Translation: Farm blaze caused by Pigs poop reacting with pedometer battery used to prove its free-range.

No. I have read quantum physics articles and found them easier to understand than this headline.

Did the pig pass the pedometer test?
