Aren't hatcheries usually about breeding fish, not farming them?RadiantRainwing (talk) 23:26, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Well farming sheep often involves the lambing process (though you can just buy in fresh surplus tups every year, from wherever happens to suit your price/quality thresholds, if that's your thing), so "farming" is a wide application in terms of animal husbandry (as well as agriculture, though perhaps in some arboriculture/horticulture/viniculture situations you needn't do the initial seeding, and just buy in the juvenile plants).
Open-water "Fish-farms" may be more likely to get their fry/big-enough-to-keep-netted-youngsters from an 'on-shore' breeding facility that may be a separate supplier, but I'd probably accept the description of the breeding facility (in 'barrels', quite possibly) as 'farming', even if it's not a full-lifetime aquaponics setup, just had mysteriously internet-accessible firearms trained upon the various tanks of growing fish. 172.70.163.120 10:42, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Comic does not say "farm" anywhere?

As funny as that is, it is almost certainly coincidence. An incredible, hilarious one to be sure, but still most likely a coincidence.OmniDoom (talk) 06:50, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
I noticed 792 also features Black Hat, is about hacking and mentions CoD4 tournaments, but I guess it isn't part of this comic's joke. Asdf (talk) 08:52, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
