Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.
While talking to a colleague it came up that they have never sat on a cow. Like, not even once in their childhood.
Another colleague listening in admitted they also have never sat on a cow.
My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a cow.

Have you sat on a cow?

@Pepijn I've sat on horses, ponies and donkeys, but never a cow - I suspect this is partly because they are harder to train to accept riders, but also UK farmers didn't want 1970s/80s kids getting too attached to cattle for fear that more of them would become vegetarian/vegan..

So. Looking at the current poll numbers I'm starting to have a suspicion my hypothesis will be disproven.
There's two ways I thought this could be people's lived experience:
1) At primary school during an excursion to a petting zoo or dairy farm. And then just to sit (with or without saddle) for a bit on a friendly dairy cow.
2) Subset of people, growing up with access to dairy farms: kids bumbling around trying to actually ride the cow.
(I personally check both boxes)

@Pepijn never a cow. Horses a few times. I grew up in a rural area, cows literally at the end of my block. But, riding them wasn't a thing anyone ever thought to do, AFAIK.

@Pepijn I don't think I've ever sat on a cow or seen anybody sitting on a cow, even if I've spent a big part of my childhood summers at an alp (pasture)
this happened between Italy and the Italian speaking part of Switzerland
(I've sat on at least a donkey, and some horses)

Thanks for the comments! It's interesting to see people's experiences and how there seem to be regional and cultural differences in what people think of this.
Here's a video of a chicken cosplaying as a duck. Full disclosure: no cows were hurt in the making of this video. No-one sat on the chicken.

@amPennyfeather if it makes you feel any better, I had 1100 followers on Bluesky but I was rarely posting there because of their weird algorithms. I’d get 1-2 interactions at best, it felt like skeeting into the void. The Fediverse is so much better and more human. I’ve built so many amazing friendships on here 💖

@Em0nM4stodon I did and it felt awesome!
-
@Em0nM4stodon Wow. I have been off most other platforms since September, so I had no idea this was happening. This makes me want to delete my Bluesky account, I might as well, I think I have posted once in the last 4-5 months. No use for it anymore.
-
@Em0nM4stodon Ok, I just deleted my Bluesky account. I'll see if I can get used to Mastodon

@jmorris @Em0nM4stodon
ICE were approved an accountthey are noting who blocks them too 👀
its like you're being policed in real-time, on social media, and if you're a vocal critic maybe you're found and disappeared 💀
-
No judgment on your decision but numbers matter to this company. I would recommend deleting the account. unlink your domain first just in case you ever want to go back. And delete the account. Just my two cents.
-
Not only that, but the way admin and mods are treating trans people is reprehensible. Even big accounts (i.e., Parker Molloy) are getting dogpiled on and run off the platform.
I'm not officially quitting it, but I'm going to endeavor to be over here more often.
