    False! It is disinformation I say. The picture is not showing a milkshake machine. This is a high speed cow spinner used for milk separation and cream production!

    That is the largest wood lathe I have seen. Super fucking dangerous setup, as well. Maybe it’s only spinning at single digit RPM and you can’t tell.

    Witnesses at the scene reported “dozens” of boys coming to the yard, only for many to be flung back as far as a whole mile (1.6km) away upon coming into close range of the milkshake’s rotational inertia.

    I have literally never seen an unironic version of this meme so I can’t even process it correctly

    I wanted a milkshake, this is clearly a milkspin. Make it again or I’ll be speaking to your manager.

    Hahaha in reality the cows are treated perfectly well! They’re only forcibly impregnated for their entire lives to facilitate a constant cycle of lactation and seperated from their children at birth. Perfectly happy cows! Your milkshake is worth it! :D

      Don’t worry! Synthetic milk is right around the corner (within a couple of decades), soon we’ll be able to save the cows. They’ll get to retire to a farm somewhere and live happily ever after.

        Cows can cry. Did you even know that? When they bellow and cry actual tears for weeks or months after their children are stolen from them, we can be pretty fucking certain they are not happy about it.

        Cows are herd animals. Herd animals are more socially sophisticated than even we are. They feel very deeply. They experience empathy. Do you?

          So then let’s just release them all and watch them get eaten alive by wolves and cyotes. That’s a MUCH better life then having food given to them, have their medical needs met. Yep, terrible life…

            So let’s just forget that idiotic point you were trying to make previously, eh?

            Guy, you don’t know what you are talking about. You don’t know anything about the life of a dairy cow. You KNOW you don’t know anything about the life of a dairy cow. You are arguing from an ignorant, emotional position. And your motivations are clear to everyone but you.

            The animals we create are morally entitled to the same unconditional love and protection as our own children. There is not a meaningful moral difference between breeding an animal and adopting a child.

              Bud, ya dont know I have a farm and have a few dairy farms around (neighbours)

              When is the last time ya smelled manure being spread on a field??

              Have you ever mucked out a stall?? Have you Milked a cow or goat??

              I have, Im tired of hearing from dumbasses whom have never stepped in shit before.

              Yes there are some cruelties but those get by far out weighed by the actions of the farmers to keep their animals safe. Nature is a cruel bitch

        I feel like we need to begin this conversation by establishing that I can’t talk to cows

    In nature and historically, cows are often spun, or thrown at high velocity. See the documentary “fetchez la vache” for example.

    As long as it brings all the boys to the yard I see no issue. Damn right.
