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.
