Are...are cows birds? Can we call it Moo Flu?

[โ€“] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 months ago

Oh, it's definitely the "Texas Moo Flu"

When we're all infected, at least we'll know it started in MAGA "Fake Chinese Virus" rural Texas.

Totally unfair of me btw, I don't know the politics of the infected human. The cattle are all bigots though.

Goddamn government surveillance cows...

[โ€“] whostosay@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Why aren't y'all putting "cows" in quotes? You're just giving them legitimacy. Have you ever actually seen a "cow" up close? No, we just pass them on a highway every now and then.

They said sooner will pigs fly than a black man be the president of the US, and then in 2008, swine flu.

It doesn't explicitly say he got it from the cows, just that he was around them and they all tested positive. It's big news whenever this virus DOES start transmitting mammal-mammal though

I understand how someone could fuck a cow - not why someone would fuck a cow, but how someone could fuck a cow - but I can't fathom how a cow would fuck a bird....

We'll... Maybe an ostrich.

Allegedly.
