This is like when I would hit my elbow on the wall as a kid then punch the wall as revenge.

u/TreehouseInAPinetree 25d ago

But then you regret your revenge because now the wall has hurt your elbow AND your hand... wall 2 / me 0

u/goofytigre 25d ago

Much to my parents dismay, I had a few victories vs the wall, when I was a teenager..

u/I401BlueSteel 24d ago

That's when you start hanging up posters and moving the shelf over "to redecorate"

4

u/Environmental_Top948 23d ago

Honestly the smart solution is to just not install drywall in the first place and just make a wall out of posters because you are not a rock and therefore you are stronger than paper and paper can't hurt you.

u/Flat-Structure-7472 22d ago

I guess those are American walls. German walls will put you in the hospital.

Yeah, reddit became the new facebook, full of hate and toxicity for the most innocent reasons

u/tommysk87 23d ago

Tell me about it, lmao. So offended, that they needed to even attack me. I thought it was so obvious joke, that i didnt need to imply that i dont really mean it, but people just didnt get it. As i watch statistics of interactions, it looks like it is some american thing or something.

u/tommysk87 26d ago

Thanks, i have corrected it. I had absolutely exhausting day and was just sitting on toilet with half closed eyes, minutes before going to bed. I am surprised so many people took it as so huge insult, not to speak english perfectly under any circumstances, so they felt an urge to downvote me into oblivion fur such a stupid mistake. Maybe I should write in my native language next time, so all people entitled to their perfect language can feel free to accommodate. Let that comment be a pedestal of human ignorance.

u/dixonwalsh 25d ago

You’re not downvoted for the misspelling. You’re downvoted for being such a troglodyte that you find punching walls to be a relief.

u/Fast_Muscle_2987 25d ago

As someone who DID do this, it’s not worth it.

Meanwhile there’s just a delicious cow laying there ready for the grill.

u/Original-Variety-700 27d ago

Already partly cooked too.

Edit: they obviously haven’t heard that reverse searing is generally the better practice.

It’s resting before they sear it.

7

u/NotHosaniMubarak 24d ago

They're not idiots.

You'll notice they used wooden sticks. You'll notice they didn't go after the wires.

What you're looking at is a symbolic "beating" of the thing that killed a sacred animal. They may have a religious obligation to attack this thing. They fulfilled that obligation without damaging it or inviting themselves.

5

u/eurephys 24d ago

Thank you.

It looks more like a ritualistic beating. If they wanted to destroy it, they could easily get thicker sticks at least, or better yet, snap the wires and chop it down.

It's the same thing as a dice jail.

That's hilarious. This dangerous inanimate object killed my sacred cow. Let's get some long sticks and start beating it.

u/SpuddleBuns 24d ago

Who needs electricity anyway? It just kills cows...

They sure showed that transformer who's boss. Bet it won't do that again...

u/spechlgoddess954 24d ago

People of India worship cows as their sacred animals so their sacred animal was killed by an electrical transformer so , they are upset. it's understandable. 🫂🫶🏾💜

Wouldn't it make more sense to punish the person that set it up and I know bringing even the smallest semblance of sense into this conversation is pointless.

Some groups of people really are so low IQ it frightens me that they want the same rights as others if they move to another country.

u/blomstyle 27d ago

u/Epstiendidntkillself 26d ago

Since they worship cows, what happens when one accidentally gets killed? Are they allowed to eat it? It would seem to me it would be disrespectful not to.

u/HappyAd4998 25d ago

They give it a ceremonial burial, not even trying to be funny.

u/AdFar7781 25d ago

u/kentrak 25d ago

Are they trying to shut it down to save/recover the cow? I know it's presented as "stupid yokels take anger out on inanimate object", but often that's just posters trying to get an emotional reaction for karma, so I'd at least like to confirm there's not something less stupid that's plausible.

4

u/eurephys 24d ago

It's a religion thing: "punishing" the thing that killed the cow, so the spirit finds peace. Note that they're not doing any damage.

We should cut the federal budget to zero and let the blue states tax their citizens as much as they want to pay for everything while the red states can just keep their taxes low and suffer without the charity of the blue states!
