A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Did you read the cite? That would show why you’re confused.
The original comment said they view cows as gods which is incorrect.
So I have no clue what you’re babbling about as it’s not relevant to what started the conversation.
Here is another cite that closely matches what I said.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_in_religion_and_mythology
"You don’t eat the cow because it’s produce milk. As such it’s more useful alive. You get fertilizer" You were incorrect because this isn't the reason Hindus consider eating the cow forbidden. Irrespective of whatever started the conversation I was replying to your comment. Perhaps you should have read my previous babble properly or talked to people who actually live in India before sending me citations written by whitewashed Indians about my own culture.
I’ll go with what my friend said and the multiple citations to back it up. I’ve been told this by about a dozen Hindus. Have a good night.
