This is ridiculous and I love it

My first thought, like an idiot, "can cows eat flour?" Yeah mate, that's all they eat...

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

Even cattle are eating too much processed foods these days!

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I was concerned in case the cow missed the flour bag warnings:

SAFE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS: Raw flour is not ready-to-eat and must be thoroughly cooked before eating to prevent illness from bacteria in the flour. Do not eat or play with raw dough; wash hands, utensils, and surfaces after handling.

COOK BEFORE SNEAKING A TASTE - FLOUR IS RAW - PLEASE COOK FULLY BEFORE ENJOYING

I guess I should be posting this on the cows community from where it was cross posted but anybody know whether those warnings are cow relevant?

I think Cow's exclusively eat raw grain so if it is a problem it's too late anyways.

[–] stray@pawb.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

Neither wild nor farmed cows eat exclusively gains. When they eat grass, they eat the entire grass rather than just the seeds. Farmed cows are fed quite a lot of legumes and a fermented "dish" called silage. They also eat meat opportunistically, as do all hoofbeasts.

unless there's trouble at mill

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Like, I mean yeah. unless there's trouble in the fields.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

lol I’mma pretend I realized that in its entirety

Someone on a farming forum mentions acidosis

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Relevant if we don’t want another patient zero for some cow flu or something.

[–] stray@pawb.social 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, it's as dangerous for the cow as for the human. Because flour is expected to be cooked, it's not held to the same standard as foods expected to be eaten raw, and it's very possibly contaminated with pathogens. Cows have some protection against certain strains of e coli, but not salmonella.

This got a genuine laugh from me, and I needed that. Thanks for posting.

Seems like a scene from my worst nightmare. A large, untrained animal near a collection of electric appliances, fire hazards, and sharp objects.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 3 weeks ago

And there's also a cow there!

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So on the next episode, hamburgers?

This was damn cute.

Were you born in a barn?!

[–] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

THIS is what the internet is for... Right here.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I like the cow's hat.

[–] restingboredface@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 weeks ago

I have two great Danes and this is what it often feels like to cook with them around. Adorable, but my God the chaos...

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

I don't know what the hell I just watched but I had a big smile on my face

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 weeks ago

Cows are so unbearably cute...

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 weeks ago

What a helpful cow

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Oh my god, I wonder if the cow pooped in there during the shoot. I've seen cows poop for what seemed like a minute straight.

Today I learned that cows (or maybe just this cow) like to eat flour.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Probably smells of cereal, you know?

[–] washbasin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Holy fuck do I feel seen right now. Thank you for sharing our collective experience.

[–] spazzman6156@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

I lik the bred deconstructed

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I love how the cow/bull is desperate for the food, but carefully works around the human to get the treats.

[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Filthy Frank is back in action with the cake videos eh?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Did that clown at least brush her teeth afterwards?

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

There's no way he didn't burn the shit out of his arm putting that tray in the oven. There were definitely some shenanigans in the filming, but it's too cute for me to really care.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I love how cows often behave like extra huge dogs

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

Would be nice if they would get treated that way

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is it okay for the cow to eat any of that? 🤔

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 1 points 2 weeks ago

i see essentially milk sugar and grains

I'm pretty sure they are ok in moderation

[–] hungrythirstyhorny@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

maybe that cow just want to taste the milk..
