"Cow tipping" and "uncooked rice killing birds" have got to be the two biggest and most successful trolls of all time.

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like someone didn’t eat his spiders while sleeping.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

well did anyone tell him why veins are blue?

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago

My six year old just informed me that one of his buddies thinks blood is blue in your body.

I don’t know if I was successful in explaining why it isn’t though.

I raised a small handful of cows for a bit growing up. Tipping them over never crossed my mind because they're huge, heavy and strong. You would have to use a tractor or other machinery and that's just animal abuse at that point.

As in, trolling the animals?

[–] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

As in, trolling people to believe these things actually happen, I think.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 months ago

That's the one. I heard wedding venues started spreading the rice thing because they were sick of cleaning up rice and bird shit all the time.

I'm guessing the other just got popular for farm kids wanting to fuck with city folk.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago

I don't know if it was the same thing, but I grew up hearing that if you mix your drool/saliva before brushing with rice and feed it to chickens, they would die.

For those who have tipped, you can breathe a big sigh of relief. Per Baby Jesus®, to err is human to forgive is bovine. And either way cows aren't exactly smart by vertebrate standards.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago

Oh cool because tipping cows is very rude yes yes yes yes I am stupid

What does it say on the counter? "Stolen by lighter something"?

The lighter side of farming?

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

No cream for me please.

I recently came to learn that there are tons and tons of people who do not think cow tipping is real or possible. Having grown up in Dairyland: It's real, it's possible and it's kinda funny being able to so easily knock over something so large.

[–] JCreazy@midwest.social 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why do people just lie on the internet?

Gotta keep the meme alive :)

[–] Lowpast@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Okay, but on the other hand, my group if friends tried to tip a cow. It didn't budge.

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

The myth is that they are sleeping.

[–] DudeDudenson@lemmings.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've lived in the city my entire life so I've never seen a cow in person, how do you go about tipping the cow and why is it an issue?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Which city? Calcutta?

I can't believe it took me until reading your comment to get the joke
