My wife’s cousins dairy farm has one of these robots. It’s like a big roomba that dispenses hay. The cows love that machine lol. He also has an automated cow hugger and cows walk up to get squeezed by this machine. It’s pretty cool.

Okay, I joked in another comment, but I have to know more about this cow-hugging machine!

Wtf why do all the good jobs keep getting take by fucking robots.

I don't want to dick with excel sheets, pay me to hug cows.

Best I can do is pay you to dick cows?

Cows are big and will accidentally kick you breaking ribs, or otherwise injure you. They are mostly safe, but there is a reason farming is one of the most dangerous jobs.

There's a phone near me and they have two rotating brushes. They look like the things that wash your car in a drive in car wash, except with bristles rather than floppy mops.

You’re right. It’s horrible and evil and I should disavow both my wife and her cousin for participating in such a thing and burn the entire thing down and free the cows 🤡

Awesome. Please do that.

No need to live between selfish people.
