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?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

I answered yes, but I'll be truthful, I may have a false memory of sitting on our house cow. I was pretty young at the time.

Isnโ€™t there a whole spectator sport in America entirely based on cows not wanting to be sat on?

I have never sat on a cow. I have, however, sat on a sheep (as a very small child).

this poll is showing a lot more "yes" votes than I would have guessed.

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..

@vfrmedia Same - horses and (I think) once a donkey - I never even seen anybody sitting on a cow, or that it was something you could/would do. Do people ride them or why would you do that?

@Malm @vfrmedia

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)

@Malm @vfrmedia Horses yes, camels also yes, cows, no.
Iโ€™ve been around cows, and pigs, but never felt the need to sit on either of them.

@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)
