      Much much better than you think. And better than they really should be able to. I saw a ropeing steer get over a 5 foot fence once.

        Yeah, we regularly had issues with our cows jumping the fence. Was annoying, but also really impressive at the same time.

      Cows can actually jump higher than a house. This is because houses can’t jump.

        Good one, Cora. Next time you see Barrett, try it out on him.

      I used to have a job delivering bedding material for cattle. When I would unload they would often gather at the back of my semi truck and jump and dance around headbutting the material as it was falling out the back like enthusiastic dachshunds. It made me a bit nervous getting out of the truck in case one accidentally crushed me.

      Happy cows are a little scary but hilarious at the same time.

        Going to the cow dance is a new item for the bucket list:

      There was girl in my country that wanted a hores to do those jumping courses with, her parents said no. So she trained one of the families cows to do the jumping instead, it worked marvellously.

      I remember hearing that Elephants are the only land animal that cannot jump.

      Could be a fake Snapple fact, so feel free to investigate further!

        Not the only land animal, but it’s true they can’t jump: 100% super reliable source.

        Mainly linking that site because this line kills me:

        The tortoise cannot jump because it lacks agility and speed.

            That’s what a lot of people think until they are 3 feet away from one and suddenly find it attached to their leg!

          Only land mammal, perhaps?

            At least some species of mole and pretty much all species of sloths are physiologically incapable of jumping, so I don’t think restricting it to land mammals would make a difference in this context.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
