Selective breeding has been going on for thousands of years to get to the modern day cows and bulls we have today. How do you think they extract the bull semen for their selection process? There’s big money in it.
They basically pick a quality bull which has favorable characteristics, bring him into their breeding barn, put their rubber gloves on, and mount the bull onto an artificial cow. Then the farmer has to convince him to start the deed and guide him into what basically adds up to a cow sized fleshlight.
One quality load can fertilize hundreds of cows, so yeah there’s lots of money in it. Everything about cow farming is nasty, from start to finish.
A couple times, when it was literally freezing cold outside, I’d get completely under the blanket, head and all, and end up falling asleep.
Then later on, I’d just barely wake up, unable to move though, basically because of lack of oxygen under the blanket. I’d have to lay there and muster up every last bit of energy I had just to toss the blanket off of me to get a breath of fresh air.
So yeah, sleep paralysis with a bonus risk of suffocating to death is extra scary.
A New Hampshire man has been sentenced to 40 years to life in prison for fatally stabbing his mother after the two had argued about the volume on the video games he was playing
Makes me sorta curious just what video game he was playing. Not like it really matters, there’s absolutely no excuse, but seriously where the fuck was his mind at to do such a terrible thing, to his own mother no less?
Me, amazed by the Antikythera Mechanism, and the modern day reconstructions of it. But I look up in the night sky, and either I can’t see shit, or whatever few stars/planets I see, I have no fucking clue what I’m looking at LOL!
Exactly. You can’t legally cross the freeway bridges in my area unless you’re in a vehicle. Which makes it legally impossible to get from the north side of the city to the south side of the city, unless you’re either in a vehicle, or you break the law.
In my area, the bridges are the freeway, running over rivers. So, there ain’t much option, unless you dare challenge the law, just to get to the other side of town. If you don’t have a motor vehicle anyways…
