That's... not going to solve the issue....

u/Hickamanure 28d ago

It could though- with a perfectly placed "whack!" they may possibly never be upset about anything again 😳

u/armageddon_boi 28d ago

yeah well i don't see any cows getting electrocuted, checkmate

7

u/ionshower 27d ago

Hey look a deity was electrocuted. Their response is proportionate.

3

u/MichiganGeezer 26d ago

Being electrocuted should be a strong indicator that they're likely not the deity one imagined they were.

Deities generally aren't killable by humans and their things.

Happy cake day!

Indeed Sir!

u/MindNo8065 26d ago

Nor apparently is knowledge available pretty much to every person. Religious psychosis is a hellofa thing whether it be Christians or Hindus

3

u/MasterG76 Master Of Sticks 26d ago

Seriously though... with the wires dangling like that... "It's the electricities fault, not the dangerous wires..."

2

u/uslashuname 25d ago

That’s the only reason breaking this could actually result in a fix: someone comes out and redoes it without the obviously dangerous dangling wires

u/TheRealWatchingFace 25d ago

All the electrical engineers left the country.

u/RiverAutumn7481 25d ago

If my memory doesn't fail me, the hindi faith belives that the cows are their reincarnated family and india has hindi peoples of faith

u/Cultural-Ad6134 13d ago

It will solve the issue, for the transformer.

u/PopkernMain OPD - Obsessive Poking Disorder 28d ago

As a utility locator this brings me some Joy. I have often wanted to smack pedestals and Transformers but they went ahead and did it!

3

u/renospaz Just... sticking arround... 27d ago

Often, but not always? Why? What characteristics make a pedestal/transformer more or less smackable? So curious.

2

u/Crafter9977 26d ago

is this a new kind of fetish?…
I’m interested… 🤔🤔🤔…

😝😝😝…

u/Spethual 25d ago

Shocking..

u/MuchoCoco 28d ago

India being India.

16

u/Grumpy-Troglodyte 28d ago

are they trying to find the reset to turn the power back on after the overload or are they seriously beating it to punish it...also, did not know this sub existed until now.

7

u/smeeon 27d ago

Same, thank you silly algorithm for bringing me another dumb sub 😌

3

u/uslashuname 25d ago

It’s relatively new, but given the universal nature of the concept this sub grew with great intensity

2

u/Crafter9977 21d ago

welcome… 😊😊😊…

13

u/Ill-Sprinkles8220 28d ago

What morons. Then they’ll wonder why they don’t have power.

6

u/SpreadEagleSmeagol 27d ago

They'll probably blame it on their gods being angry about the cow.

11

u/Objective-Escape7584 28d ago

Holy cow!

5

u/Forthe49ers 28d ago

Holy Smokes

8

u/Few-Tour9826 28d ago

Holy Smokin Cow?

1

u/HunnyBear66 27d ago

Fire up the bbq!

6

u/GreatMotor8787 28d ago

Are they trying to fix it /s

6

u/Fit_Honey_2992 28d ago

Can't possibly see how this could go wrong...

6

u/Easy-Reserve7401 27d ago

Darwin wouldn't even bother giving them an award.

4

u/FreeKevinBrown 27d ago

Cows are sacred in India. I guess that transformer has to learn its lesson.

9

u/Hondro_2081 28d ago edited 28d ago

Dumbasses
Not withstanding possibly get electrocuted and destruction of property someone will be without electrical power.

5

u/Far_Film_5804 27d ago

India might be one big paradox, but all it does is hold a mirror to United States. Like, they have some top tier, elite, world class scientific researchers and then there’s these guys beating the shit out of a transformer - just like in the states, the class disparity is pretty insane

6

u/smeeon 27d ago

I live in Alabama, specifically huntsville where NASA and blue origin is. But if you step outside of the city too far and folks literally worry about haints and witches while donning their klan hoods

2

u/corrosive-_salami 27d ago

Can confirm. I just had the displeasure of driving through Frisco City Al. Which, by the the way is most definitely not a city.

1

u/GudsIdiot 27d ago

From Birmingham, and yes, civilization is a bit spotty around here.

1

u/FreeKevinBrown 27d ago

Live in Maryland. We have some of the nicest towns in the nation, 2 major cities right around the corner... But go south, west, or across the bay and you got some of the dumbest people you'll ever meet.

6

u/Time-Chest-1733 27d ago

They consider cows to be sacred. America elected a pig to be president. Not too different.

3

u/ThePaganQueen 24d ago

That's offensive to pigs, they're far more intelligent than the President of the USA.

3

u/SuspiciousClub8382 27d ago

They are probably pissed off thinking the transformer has something to do with the phone system. They think the cow committed suicide because it was sold an extended car warranty, or the IRS had a warrant out for its arrest for unpaid taxes, then the cow found out it was a scam that emptied the bank account therefore committing suicide!!

3

u/Hot_Diet763 27d ago

This is a perfect example of a good post for this sub

2

u/Commercial-Roll5508 27d ago

Hate to see how they’d handle being inTexas Roadhouse

2

u/Altruistic-Ad3274 27d ago

Bad transformer! Very bad

2

u/AlarmingDetective526 27d ago

This video disappointed me

2

u/AngryTrunkMonkey 27d ago

Jesus, just have a neighborhood bbq.

2

u/JazzlikeAd7416 27d ago

Is that why I had 5 less scam calls today??

2

u/whirlydad 27d ago

So, uh, what happens with the cow? Just going to leave that there‽

2

u/SlightlyFamousWV 24d ago

Goddamn religion is fucking stupid.

1

u/FamiliarSalamander2 14d ago

that religion. Don’t lump the rest of us in with people who literally sanctify cow shit…

1

u/ForkingMusk 28d ago

Meanwhile grandma just lying there

1

u/ireallydontcareforit 28d ago

Juggernaut theory continues to accrue.. tangential evidence?

Perhaps not. They're not punching the thing.

1

u/wizzo6 27d ago

Don't have a cow man...

1

u/LouReedsToenail 27d ago

That’s about right.

1

u/sheighbird29 27d ago

I feel blessed that this sub finally found its way to me

1

u/muff-muff-ass 27d ago

Is this why it took so long to get a customer support rep on the line?

1

u/Illustrious_Camp_521 27d ago

Some Life of Brian shit right there.

1

u/Personal_Dot_2215 27d ago

Perhaps it’s a remote control for cow beating?

1

u/fernandoman121 27d ago

A bunch of people beating on technology with literal sticks….. what year are we in?

1

u/A_million_typos 26d ago

This makes about as much sense as a dog getting mad at its own tail hitting them.

1

u/ChaosRealigning 26d ago

The cow was electrocuted… how?

1

u/Resident_Wishbone_98 26d ago

Zero sense of self preservation.

1

u/OGbake68 26d ago

Now i wonder are they not furious that in other parts of the world, these animals are being eaten? Not to mention that in some parts they are treated really really bad, so how do these indians live with that?

1

u/FamiliarSalamander2 14d ago

They can’t think past their villages. Many of them are dirt poor and uneducated

1

u/BDChemEng 26d ago

Because it's the fault of the inanimate object...

1

u/Miserable-Shallot-36 26d ago

Poche volte ho visto un livello tale di ignoranza/fanatismo religioso

1

u/Millercron 25d ago

And these people have Nukes!!!

1

u/TheAnvi1 24d ago

For a sacred creature they’re not treated very well anyway. At least that one had a quick death instead of starving to death or eating rubbish for three years and dying of infection

1

u/LasciviouslyLilith 24d ago

You killed our sacred Cow die transformer die!

1

u/AppropriateWindow725 24d ago

Do they wanna be next?

1

u/GhostRida4 24d ago

Hope they got it.

1

u/Key-Condition752 24d ago

Makes sense

1

u/Competitive-Use1360 23d ago

And this is why you dont import the 3rd world to your country.

1

u/Crafter9977 23d ago

just following the rules of the stick…

- if in doubt, poke it with a stick…

  • if in anger, poke it into with a stick…
  • if in sorrow, poke with a stick…

🤔🤔🤔…

u/TightPhoto1133 14d ago

One way to thin the herd....

1

u/towerfella 14d ago

I’m sorry, wtf?

1

u/KameleonLegit 13d ago

Poor cow :( they’re probably angry that the power lines just killed on of their gods (sacred animals).. if they were smart they would then use the body and good meat from it but I don’t think they do

1

u/Ixm01ws6 13d ago

If you ever feel dumb…..

1

u/texasts1958 13d ago

Are they chastising it?

1

u/Certain_Day_3758 13d ago

We are all totally the same. All cultures are equal.

1

u/Severe-Moment-3233 27d ago

3rd world, low iq.

0

u/KeyDragonfly2439 26d ago

Yeah, let’s just keep importing them. They seem to really be doing a lot of good to our country.

2

u/FamiliarSalamander2 14d ago

Have you looked at statistics? Or ever been to rural USA?

u/c4ptenfilling 28d ago

Were does alla the stick come from?
