Cows kill more people every year than sharks do

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

And that's only because we come more often and much closer to cows than we come to sharks.

Its also because big ass herbivores are actually really dangerous.

Sharks don't actually like the taste of humans because we're a little too lean. So they won't actively hunt you unless they're starving. There's only really one reason why a shark is out to get you. There's many reasons a herbivore will mess you up.

A big herbivore will fk you up because he's having a bad day and you got too close. Or its mating season and everyone is potential competition. Or they mistook you for a predator cause of their poor eyesight. Or a bird flew away nearby and one of them got startled and now you're in a path of a stampede.

Sharks may also bite you by accident, because they mistake you for a seal.

How dangerous a bull is also depends on his age. While getting older he will start to lose the fear/respect for humans. This will get to a point where being alone with him is a literal death sentence.

Speak for yourself, I haven't spent any time coming anywhere near a cow

There was a 82 year old man who had to pee and couldn't hold it in, so he went to a train track to do it. While he was pissing, a cow from the air crushed him. His death certificate literally says "Death by a flying cow". It turned out that cows were crossing a track and the train hit one of the cows full speed, so it was sent flying right towards the man. He ended up passing away.

Achievement unlocked: Get killed by a flying cow.

I saw a comment that read "Bro got the rarest death message 💀"

Even tho cows are cool as hell, don't mess with them if you don't know them. Especially bulls can easily kill you(and they will do).

I literally walked into my grandparents' garden one day and found a cow just hanging out. No one believed me when I went to tell them until they heard it moo. Turns out it had managed to break the fence at a local field and was just roaming.

Can't be mad at her, considering all the beef people eat

It's true. I was nearly killed by a cow. Turned my car into a convertible and missed my head by millimetres.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

So you met a cow and got a new car and a haircut for your troubles. Not bad at all!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Be glad she wasn't a moose.

[–] wieson 2 points 11 months ago

Made my brain autofill the rest of the image with the cow standing on two legs and having human arms.

This looks like my old student accommodation

Cows are angry little vengeance creatures.

They know, and they want retribution.
