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.

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)

@NatureMC @postpunkmusic on my great grandmothers farm they couldn't afford feeding an oxen just for plowing. (Is that the word?)
They used their cow to plow, pull carts etc.. I bet they sat the children on their back, too.
They used a dog to pull the not so heavy loads like the milk cart to the milk house.
