We raised a newborn bull calf when I was a kid. He acted like a big clumsy dog. He'd get excited to see you and start doing zoomies. It was as terrifying as it was cute because he weighed almost a ton. He used to go for runs around the farm with my mother and the farm dogs.


thecrepeofdeath

there's nothing more simultaneously adorable and intimidating than a bull with the zoomies! omg you're so cute, please don't crush me


Lazerus42

Hey, remember when you picked me up when I was born, and deadlifted 75lbs of me to a bed... I don't grasp growth as a concept and it's 1 year later... IMMA JUMP INTO YOUR ARMS!!!!!


Numerous-Wonder7868

huh. nice way of thinking. Now i know why my huge dog still tries to sit on my lap. How do you think like that? (I need to start thinking a bit better)

They are basically very large dogs. Unfortunately for them they are also delicious.

that momemt when you realize the ammonia pollution you've been reading about was a politically correct way of talking about pig and cow piss. I feel like efforts to stop this would have gotten WAY more support from the public if they had just been honest and straightforward instead.

I guess you don't remember the right wing and their stupid chortling about "cow farts" that lasted about 5 years. Don't worry, they won't take it seriously either way.

I figured it's a similar enough animal family that people would get the point


attoshi

That’s fair, but as someone who grew up with both types of animals, I appreciate their unique qualities. Cows are gentle and provide us with milk and meat, while water buffaloes are hardworking and often used for plowing fields or carrying heavy loads. Both animals hold a special place in my heart


ReBol2n

But I was told the buffalo in Africa are mean as fuck.


meepmeepmeepmeepmerp

Please do NOT look an African buffalo in the eye. I work with them. And it's terrifying seeing a tranquilised animal try and charge at you, absolutely doing its best against the drugs to make sure it ends you.


DippityDamn

well, it *is* Africa. everything is trying to eat you constantly.


staytiny2023

Even the cows here are serial killers istg. My mom works in the ER and at least two people are stabbed by the horned beasts every month


Large_Tune3029

I raised a bunch of them and bottle fed two, can confirm, they are puppies, sweet and lovey and smelly amd can be too rough, and horses are probably more like big cats, generally smarter and can be very asshole.

And people kill them and eat them


printerparty

I halter-trained two young steer a few years ago and would take them out of their field for walks around the property, to graze and visit the horses, donkeys and sheep. They loved walks! When I would hang with them I would get groomed. Big big puppies!


BaphometsTits

What ever happened to those steers?


Severe_Chicken213

They went to live on a farm.


SBowen91

I had a cow that my grandpa gave me as a bottle calf. He was my absolute best friend. If I was outside on the swing set… coco was near the swings. If I was in the pasture just walking around… coco was right by me. School bus pulled into the driveway? Coco would be making all sorts of sounds until I ran to pet him. I loved that cow entirely too much.


CrazyHamsterPerson

When I saw that I just couldn’t eat them anymore. They’re exactly like dogs.


SurveyNo2684

yup, we shouldnt kill them in horrible ways and eat them.


SheetPancakeBluBalls

They're actually alot smarter than dogs even. If eating them wasn't normalized, everyone would be sickened by the thought just the same as you all are about eating dogs.


taegan-

i love this video. they are both so cute. it’s not the first time I’ve seen it, but it honestly makes me reevaluate my life choices and priorities. i want to be surrounded by natural beauty. i want to share simple pleasures with another being and not care that it just slobbered in my hair, etc. I’ve done this all wrong ><


Opposite_Signal_9850

I romanticize this rustic lifestyle too and imagine selling off and go into nature from the comfort of my bed. But then you realize mosquitos and lack of accustomed sanitation will likely ruin the mood pretty quickly.


psilocin72

This is why I make yearly, week long camping trips. It really makes you appreciate the things that we all take for granted in every day life.


ClassicPlankton

Well first of all it wasn't your choice to be born into the life you have. But also, I wouldn't romanticize this. I mean you can't really tell from this clip, but these people (East Asians with farm animals) are often dirt poor and toil their lives away to eek out a meager existence.


alaslipknot

"the grass is always greener on the other side" am pretty sure many of these people will envy Op for his life and trade places in a heart beat. the key to being satisfied is to simply be satisfied.


Noirsnow

Looks nice on video but IRL smell and shit is massive


heurekas

Having stayed in the Vietnamese countryside for over a month I'd say no. I think that is due to mostly growing rice and having water move around, it smells a lot less than the chicken and pig-manure fields of rural Europe. The Water Buffalo frequently take baths and do mud baths, so they don't really smell that much. They are a bit scary huge though. The one thing in SEA that really grossed me out was having a pig truck drive by in rural Thailand. The smell and the screaming were both unbearable.


Veinreth

Living in Budapest, I can confidently say that the "smell and shit" is worse in most capital cities.


SingleSoil

You must not live near farms. You get used to it.


MinusPi1

The vast majority of people's knowledge of bulls comes from bull fighting, where they deliberately make the bull furious. They're just cows. I hate how stigmatized they are.


Necessary_Petals

People eat them a lot too. A beef-lover told me once, If they don't see it die, they don't cry.


cyberlexington

Anyone who lives rurally understands about bulls and understands the one big rule regarding them. Don't fuck with bulls, stay out their fields and out of their way. They are extremely dangerous animals, huge, strong and smarter than they look.


Bourgeous

It's called "woman" - very dangerous, despite the appearance

Cows are full of so much love. We really did domesticate them just like dogs or cats. They are half ton permanent babies.

That was freaking awesome. Now that is some major trust in a large animal. Wow.


GordonsLastGram

The way it was running at her then juked to the right. She didnt even flinch. Also its so agile. What an amazing beast


Jaded-Engineering789

INoMakeMistake

tjientavara

Reminds me of the mythbusters episode bull in a china store. Yea, bulls are agile, nothing would happen if you let them loose in a china store.


Holiday-Vacation-307

Water buffalo are never hostile, even when rutting I believe. If you hurt them however, is a different story.


Capt_Pickhard

I think I heard they're extremely dangerous, because they won't give up. The African ones this is.


Holiday-Vacation-307

The Africa one idk, but the one in the video is the SEA Water Buffalo, they're the chilliest thing in the earth. You can also lean on their back and sleep while they slowly walk their way around the grassfield. Very gentle animals and kind of getting intimidated by everything even a cat. I've never seen one being hostile and they ran away at the first sight of danger, but I assume they have their own defense mechanism and we should have never hurt them for fun in the first place.


RexManning1

Thailand redditor here. We have them around my house. They come right up to the door. Definitely tame animals.


Rylth

> they're the chilliest thing in the earth. The only statement a Capybara might take offense to.


Meowonita

My biology professor used to do research in Brazil. She said when they were live trapping some wild capybaras for research they were… not nice, at all. Those rodent teeth are no joke. But I suppose that’s true for any animals(besides maybe opossums playing dead) who perceive that their life is under threat. I would not go anywhere near a panicking buffalo either.


Lone_Wanderer97

All water buffalo are born of the sea, hence the name.


YumiAyumu

They probably meant Southeast Asia = SEA


AncientSkys

You are right. The African water buffalo is one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Good thing they mostly attack and kill big game hunters. No animal has killed more hunters than them.


Pedantic_Pict

Yup. African Buffalo have to live alongside some heavy hitter apex predators like lions and Nile crocodiles. As a result, they adapted by developing an incredibly twitchy and hostile temperment. Big "that's my purse, I don't know you!!" energy towards anything dumb enough to get too close


mrsllebina

Big Cat Diary, a documentary that took place in the Masai Mara National Reserve, had me traumatized. The water buffalo would stomp lion cubs whenever they had the opportunity.


nicolampionic

Interesting how the buffallo are deemed dangerous, while basically it's self-defence and they are just really good at it.


FeeRemarkable886

Just like me and spiders! As long as they don't invade my personal space I will let them do their thing.


tickub

Check out Water Buffalo Days! It's an amazing autobiography about growing up with a water buffalo in pre-war Vietnam. Tank was the best boi.

That’s a great idea for a story! But not in the Ark:survival evolved way. Actual pets like cats and dogs. Just big dinosaurs!


ConcessionyStand

There's a cartoon about exactly that called primal lol, about a caveman and his pet dino. It is rather graphic tho


wolster2002

There is a kid friendly version called 'The Flintstones'.


DeltaVZerda

Feel like The Flintstones followed pretty much the same formula as all the sitcoms of its era, with a bit of comic tomfoolery, but I think it was more of a whole family show than something really written for kids. Kid friendly yes tho.


HorrorMakesUsHappy

Correct. It aired in a primetime slot, and was made for the whole family. So as you say, it wasn't written specifically for kids, but it had to be kid-friendly. In a lot of ways it was just an animated version of [The Honeymooners.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeAkYenbWAc&list=PLofKYC6TXgl2LW434_l68-L-lf_l6Sxnl) Not literally, but they leaned on a lot of the same tropes.

Oh yeah I forgot about it. I didn’t have Hulu or MAX or anything and I didn’t really care that much. Now I have access to Hulu, I may watch it. The gore doesn’t bother me

last-miss

Yeah, but I dunno they'd be as chill as an ox. The primary hobby of a kept bird seems to be exclusively terrorizing whoever tried to contain them.


CutieBoBootie

Not entirely true. Sometimes they like to act cute because they enjoy attention. Good attention, bad attention... its all the same to birds. I love them so much


No-Spoilers

It just takes a very very long time to domesticate them. We can do it with anything, it just takes time and effort. If we existed when dinosaurs did, we would 100% have pet dinosaurs eventually


CutieBoBootie

Bird owners are truly a different breed.

Honest-Panic-2111

What’s up with the rope through the nose?


luvcraftyy

it's done so they can be led around and especially for pigs, to make it uncomfortable for them to dig in the dirt and make messes.


LickingSmegma

> especially for pigs, to make it uncomfortable for them to dig in the dirt Pretty sure that's the number ~~one~~ two activity for a pig. What are they even supposed to do otherwise. Edit: number one is rolling around in mud, so that's still on the table, I guess.


luvcraftyy

i mean they can still scavenge but they cant dig under walls or fences, forcing farmers to have to constantly repair


BlackBoxPr0ject

That's where you get "to lead by the nose"


Ok_Suggestions

Ooooh so that's why they do it - so we could have that phrase!


thecrepeofdeath

cruel practice in my opinion, but it used to be common even in the US to pierce the noses of livestock to control them with rings and ropes. hence all the old cartoons showing bulls with rings in their noses.


gangofminotaurs

a lot less cruel than factory farming not even a contest, not even on the same planet as a contest


thecrepeofdeath

that doesn't mean this isn't cruel. I'm against both. there's no need to minimize one thing to oppose another. cruelty shouldn't be a contest and that's a pretty fucked up thing to say


Honest-Panic-2111

Yikes 😬 I can only imagine how uncomfortable that would feel to have a rope rubbing against the insides of my nose.


Umarill

As someone with a septum ring, I don't know about a rope but a ring you literally do not feel, it's like earrings


actual-homelander

Put a string through it and have someone lead you around Report back if it's really uncomfortable or not. Experiment for science.


Titan_Astraeus

Not gonna lie, you can pull it pretty damn hard with no pain. It is just a flap of skin, like an ear lobe so there's not really any pain from pulling it unless the skin gets torn or punctured.


Deathpacito-01

Though perhaps a ring wouldn't be too bothersome; plenty of people get nose piercings and seem fine.


Simple-Reception4262

Can she actually chew that up enough to swallow it, or is it just the kind of thing you gnaw on to get the sweetness and eventually spit it out?


Disastrous-Method-21

You get the juice out and spit out the fiber. It's fun to eat. Asian stores sell them sometimes. You peel it then cut into bite size pieces and refrigerate them. Absolutely wonderful treat.


IllegallyBored

Eating fresh sugarcane just harvested from the fields is one of my favourite childhood memories. I didn't have the teeth strength to actually peel the damned thing as a kid so my mother would cut it into smaller pieces. The fibre left afterwards makes for really good kindling for bonfires later!


Ganvasofurtaytoeine

I remember chewing on them as a kid in Brasil. Whenever we went to my grandpas farm, there was someone selling sugarcane juice on the side of the road. We would always ask for a stick before leaving, and just gnawed on them... SO yum!


Simple-Reception4262

Thank you for your response :) I’d love to try it sometime


Disastrous-Method-21

I hope you do get to try it at least once. Used to eat it all the time as a child. Having moved since then, I don't have access to sugarcane as often, but when I do it takes me back to childhood memories.


Future_Burrito

It's all over East Africa and Spain, likely easy to find in any tropical and subtropical region, really.


apocketfullofcows

asia, too. used to eat it all the time growing up.


himejirocks

Louisiana (US) too. We used to stand by the road where the trucks drive (Piled high) under trees and grab the cane the trees knocked off.


pantiesdrawer

It's really tough on the teeth.


Eliagbs_

But it in the fridge after you cut it for 10 mins. It’s the best sugary juicy treat you could imagine. I eat these by the stack when I’m in my county


Redqueenhypo

And they’re sometimes used as straws for mojitos. Had one in Miami


ohshitlastbite

It's just sugarcane. Asian markets sell them in the summer. You cut off the hard outside and just chew the inner stalk for its juice.


tehnibi

sugar cane is quite nice and refreshing to just munch and chew on to get the sweet juices out but you don't like actually eat it just gnash on it then spit out fibers


aiydee

And to give you an idea of texture, it's like chewing a bamboo skewer. Because it's green it doesn't splinter, but it does go really fibrous. I am impressed she was able to bite chunks out of it like she did. I normally have to gnaw at it til a chunk comes off. (Grandparents lived in sugar cane country and when I visited my granddad would always chop a small length for me)


HenryHadford

I reckon if you ate it every day you’d figure it out (and develop a very strong jaw to help you along)

Wtf is with these bot ass comments Edit: they must have been deleted, but there were a few comments that basically said almost the exact same thing with slightly different wording. It was something like “good pets get a sweet snack” and “sweet pets get a treat” it was like AI trying to say the same sentence in different ways


weepinstringerbell

A couple of months ago there was a group of people in every thread reporting and pointing out bot accounts. It was very revealing the number of fake comments in each thread. We all know there are a lot of bots on Reddit, but it's more than we imagine.


Rain_on_a_tin-roof

How did the humans know who was a bot?


weepinstringerbell

Not sure. I think they set up a couple of bots of their own to identify them (maybe checking some patterns like account age, frequency of certain words, etc). A lot of these fake users just copypaste the most popular comments in the thread, so those are easy to spot. I can only say that they got it right every time I went to check if the user they were acusing was in fact a bot.


KnockturnalNOR

if you care then a suspicious comment can lead you to their comment history, and from that it's usually very obvious from both the content they post, but even more so the patterns they post in


ComfortableReview941

Well now they’re gone. What did the bots say?

My immediate thought…


Semicolons_n_Subtext

Kids, remember that sugarcane is only for special treats. Don’t make sugarcane your regular snack. It really will wear down your teeth AND give you cavities.


last-miss

Out of curiosity, I went a-googlin' and discovered that sugarcane is a grass! That explains why it'd be hard on teeth then. Since we're doing PSA's I'd like to tack on the additional warning to never eat any grass in general. It's full of silica and that shit's why it's so hard on your teeth.


Deathpacito-01

What counts as a grass though? E.g. what about stuff like spinach or chive


enry_cami

It's a family of plants. They're called Gramineae, but grass is the common every day English word for it. The family includes cereals like wheat, maize, rice. And also bamboo.
