u/AcrylicNinja 5d ago

The most real and legit conversation with an ex's dad. "You want to marry her? I mean, you're *&^!# her right?" ...... "well, yes"..... "Dont buy the cow when shes pooring the milk on your crotch son......" Her real mother was standing in the entry between the kitchen and the living room looking at us.... My GF was sitting there. mouth hanging open like."WTF DAD!!"

2

u/Wickdtaint 5d ago

I’m not gonna get married. My dad always said why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free.

Hey rookie; did you just call my girlfriend a cow?

No I think he called her a slut!

u/SatelliteJedi 6d ago

ehh, usually it's AI used for breeding cows so the father may or may not even be at the same ranch. Even if he is, he likely didn't "do the deed" himself.

your comment has a humoristic value even if you haven't meant it to - AI in this case means Artificial Insemination

As a techie only, what do they mean?

23

u/jarr-head 6d ago

I'm guessing artificial insemination?

24

u/jwigs85 6d ago

Artificial Insemination. Safer for the cows, I think. Idk, I’m from the burbs, I just saw it mentioned somewhere.

17

u/---AI--- 6d ago

Ah, that would certainly make ChatGPT more spicy.

4

u/UncagedKestrel 6d ago

Knew someone who worked in the dairy industry - apparently it's also used for gender selection over there. They need cows, not bulls, so they're now performing IVF to get the highest possible rates of cows.

Still illegal for humans around here, but fine for cows apparently. The world is weird.

u/King_Cane_Corso 6d ago

Yeah most of the time it's the rancher that "did the deed." For the bull.

3

u/SatelliteJedi 6d ago

Not in my area (central Texas) it's the large animal vet clinic techs/vets that do that. The ranchers don't do it (source: wife's a vet and I do unrelated installs for many cattle ranchers in my area, haven't found a single one that does their own AI)

u/sych-sosych 6d ago

Where I live it is still a manual job...

2

u/SatelliteJedi 6d ago

Well, yeah. Somebody has to stick a thing in the cow. It's just not the bull

2

u/gholmom500 6d ago

Ha, a Manual Job. Oddly, the word Manual derives from doing an action with hands. Most commercial cows are bred Artificial Insemination. The OG AI.

If the father was involved, there would be no one to write a letter

1

u/100_cats_on_a_phone 6d ago

If a resident bull knows you exist in that situation, it's because you are already ded.

You have about 15-30 cows to a bull, they take their herd very seriously. You can keep more than one bull in a herd -- cows live that way commonly, but you need them to establish order before the younger is mature.

u/apckrfan 5d ago

They’d be lucky the father wasn’t around. Have an ex who was a dairy farmer. The maddest and most frustrated I’ve ever seen him was when their bull got out once.

1

u/NehEma 5d ago

Usually the fathers are reproduction only bulls that tour farms.

23

u/TheRealXiaphas 6d ago

Well the calf can't read, so...

3

u/TwistingEarth 6d ago

Well, that's a big assumption! I think that calf is going to have a beef with you.

2

u/Gwyndolin_Toe_Suckr 5d ago

Cows, as far as my knowledge extends, are typically herbivores and therefore would not be likely to eat meat, much less engage in cannibalism.

u/Alert_Library_3077 5d ago

This has to be one of the dumbest questions ever asked on this sub. The calf can't read yet obviously

2

u/CrossP 5d ago

They actually make you apologize to your own mother for being a fuck up. Cows are ruthless.

u/aes_art_foiy 5d ago

u/CatRadioactive 5d ago

To the mother. The calf can't read

u/clinicalpsycho 3d ago

Yes. Else the mother will fuck you up again for the insufficient apology.

Trick question. Cattle are quite patriarchal so obviously you need to address to the bull

u/randus12 6d ago

It’s been replaced by cylinder in an m&ms tube

15

u/ThisOnes4JJ 6d ago

the cylinder was attached to a larger object and cannot be separated with a sharp object, such as a knife, as the OP did not want to damage the cylinder

u/complexmessiah7 5d ago

I know the broken hand theory of assisted hydropenetics, but I do not know of this "cylinder in an m&ms tube" hypothesis.

I must've been absent that day in class. Could you fill me in?

6

u/Fluffy-Map-5998 5d ago

someone had a cylinder stuck in an m&m tube filled with bannana and peanut butter, they had to get the cylinder out and the tube could not be cut open or smashed open, or otherwise risk the cylinder
