Nice try FBI but you will never take my cows

We have the right to graze on federal lands! We’ll take over the office! I was low on butt plugs anyway

[–] Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At any given moment, I am seconds away from having a cow.

Sad answer is that live not too far from an active abbatoir. So, unfortunately not that far away.

[–] bubbalu@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

there is likely a hidden (secret cow) nearby.

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

there's a cow behind you right now

[–] bubbalu@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

no just my radiator. (small apartment)

[–] Darthsenio_Mall@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

i live atop a giant cow. her name is tortmooga. all the stars in the night sky. drops of milk strewn across the endless shadow grassland of the hereafter. revolving with boundless speed. ungulating into infinite bovinity.

As the crow flies, or actual travel time? 'cos there's, like, an hour difference between those.

I can see 3 from my loungeroom window. Little cuties.

[–] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It depends on whether or not the rodeo is in town. For one month a year, I am 15 minutes away from many cows.

[–] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

A minute’s walk probably? Neighbor across the road’s got cows

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

i got a cow in ma pants

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

About ten minutes

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

10-20 miles. Although, knowing my neighbors, I wouldn't be too surprised if there was one within a couple miles right now.

[–] Judge_Jury@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

About a mile

[–] Dylan 6 points 2 years ago

Some family down the street from where I work has their cow out grazing about twice a week. So about a 5 minute walk.

[–] Zrc@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

100 meters maybe

[–] Catradora_Stalinism@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Like an hour, buggers are everywhere creating some issues. I don't like them eating the plants. :(

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

2 miles likely, but let's say 3 miles to be certain.

[–] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

20 minute walk maybe?
it's not a dairy farm, but a smallholding that has a pet cow, they actually farm crops
nearest dairy farm is like ~40 miles away i think

  1. I am the cow (complimentary).
[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

2.5 miles, as the crow flies.

[–] Vampire@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

like 50 moo-ters, I live on a farm

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

like cow in a field type thing, probably ~3 miles or so maybe less, I live kinda on the outskirts of the city, it's cheaper and quieter for the most part, but I can still get downtown on my bike in 30 mins pretty easily

[–] Sopje@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

7 minutes by bike

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

I WANT to say 50 miles, perhaps 100, but considering where I live, if there's actually one 15 mins away I should not be surprised.

[–] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago
[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Used to live in audible moo range, now I'm like 5 to 8 minutes away from the nearest cow.

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Surely there is a cow within 5 kilometers. I'm not sure where, but there has to be,

[–] DickFuckarelli@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Less than a mile.

[–] TylerDurdenJunior@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

10 minutes by bike. 3 minutes by car

[–] AbbysMuscles@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am on vacation and am almost directly in the middle of Chicago's loop. So uhhhh several miles?

the stockyards have all closed up shop right?

[–] Anxious_Anarchist@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Depending on traffic, 30 minutes to an hour.

[–] Bisexual_Cookie@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Probably less than 15min walking.

About 4 years ago a bunch of cows wandered straight into my parent's backyard... I woke up from wierd noises, looked outside and saw a huge fucking cow standing right outside the window staring at me. In a semi panic I went upstairs to wake my sister (was night at the time) and we were both just stupidly looking at them from the balcony while they were chilling down in the garden. They left whole lot of shit piles too!

[–] CombatLiberalism@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Close enough to hear one and see it moving around but far enough away that it just looks like a blurry brown orb

[–] Hare@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

Oh about a five minute walk
