Just think, if Howards mum didnt invite the gang over for thanksgiving Leonard and Penny wouldnt of discovered Penny was "Married" to Zach for months or years 😂😂
Penny has been bragging that she can tip a cow for years, but in reality she might be creating a false memory from a bad event that involves beer and a cow field.
I'm from Nebraska. Born and raised. I'm here to clear this up. "Cow tipping" is NOT a real thing. Literally nobody has ever done any such thing in this state. It's physically not possible.
Cows are perfectly capable of laying down and getting back up. A single person can't push over something that heavy, and a cow's not going to just stand there and let you push it anyway.
Exactly your typical cow weighs in at what 1 ton good luck A actually pushing something with that mass over and B getting the cow to stand in one spot while your pushing cause a cow will respond in 1 of 2 ways 1 start moving the second you get within 6 feet of it or 2 kick you which depending on where you get kicked could kill you
The model is simple but accurate, assuming Penny knows how to apply maximum torque. However, it doesn't take into account the reaction of the bovine to the tipping. Fascinating.
I’m impressed that Howard immediately understood what Penny meant by cow tipping. When I first read the title I thought it was some weird synonym for steak tips, then I thought it meant giving cows “tips” as in rewards for being milked that would actually be good for a cow, and then I finally realized it meant tipping a cow over
Cow tipping is a well-known concept in rural America (and most of the west coast, to my knowledge.) There's nothing impressive about Howard knowing, because it's a commonly understood concept. The practice of cow-tipping is essentially this: Scare the cow, it falls over. It's not about actually pushing a cow over, so I don't understand why or how the series decided that's what it meant, but it is what it is.
@@deusdamnit You are missing the point people have, that they can tip the cow because you sneak up on it while its sleeping standing up. The kicker is that cows dont sleep standing up.
“I’d love to go but unfortunately, that sounds awful” What a beautiful way to mock the boring social conventions! Ofcourse, social conventions are to be followed in a society for some politeness to be around, but I personally find this straight forward, genuine thing more likeable....
I don't know about cow tipping, but I do know that cows love having their bellies scratched. If you rub their belly they will roll over to ask for more. They also like playing with yoga balls and old tires.
0:49 to 0:52 I laughed a lot when Howard said "That's just based on me trying to roll my mom over when she's snoring" Oh that's funny !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if they do, there could still be a difference in how they laid down compared to tipping. Do they lay on their stomach or the sides and how easily can they roll?
Cows don't sleep standing up, so any cow that is standing would be conscious the whole time, and capable of fighting back. It's not going to let you tip it over, unless you can over-power it. Bottom line, you are asking for trouble by trying.
My friend tipped a cow over me when we were playing catch. He was hiding on the other side of the cow, and when I came running from my side, he pushed the cow over me, and it fell over me. I was under it breathing for my life.
On one of the early episodes, Howard said his mother always made "turbriskgefil" for Thanksgiving (turkey stuffed with brisket stuffed with gefilte fish). Judging from his comments, it wasn't very tasty. Why was everyone suddenly so excited about eating Thanksgiving dinner at Howard's house?
I saw a bull get tipped by a rodeo clown. If you find yourself in the right position when the cow, or bull in this case, is moving it's hind quarters sideways in a quick paced turn, you grab the tail and hang on and pull. The cow slash bull's feet go out from under him slash her and he she is on it's side in the blink of an eye.
Here cow tipping refers to shoving the cow to the ground while it's standing still. Pulling it down by the tail doesn't really count, especially since the cow is off balance during the turn. That's more a judo move than anything.
So I'm in physics right now, but only in high school. The math on the left makes sense to me, but the math on the right doesn't. Would someone mind explaining it? I think it's vectors and shit like that but I'm not sure what that part is for or how it works
It's about the pushing force necessary to rotate a cow so its center of mass is directly above its left two feet (or right two feet). He's treating it like it's legs remain rigidly where they originally were, as if you were tipping a weight-accurate full scale statue of a cow. Sheldon is calculating this force to be beyond a human's strength.
@@Wave_Boi A fully grown female cow is around 700 kg, there are videos of strongmen pushing and pulling cars that have several times the weight of a cow, and you want to tell me that such a massive beast of a man would not be able to push down a cow if he charged into it? I have no doubt that some small blonde woman like Penny would be unable to do it, but there are plenty of people walking this earth that have done far more impressive feats of strength.
@@Triplebrc There's this thing on cars called wheels, kind of a recent scientific discovery so Idk if you've heard of it, it offsets the weight of the vehicle. Not to mention a car won't resist you trying to move it, while a cow will resist you trying to tip it.
@@Triplebrc It would take two massive beast men to push over a cow that did nothing to brace itself or react in any way to being pushed according to the math. 2,910 newtons of force, compared to the rounded up roughly 250 newtons it takes to get the average car to start rolling on level ground, and it needs to tip 23.4 degrees to fall so the odds are even with 6 beast men its going to stumble to the side and be really annoyed when it runs away instead of tipping. The ability to bench press a cow wouldn't really help much with making it fall over. Hilariously enough though you don't even need math to know its not possible because the myth is about sneaking up to a sleeping cow and pushing it over. Cows don't sleep standing up to be pushed over.
So if he made good food Sheldon would complain that he could not complain about the food, but would thereby be complaining about the food and therefore have nothing to complain about.
Because they were originally made using Hamburg steaks, so named because they were developed in the city of Hamburg, Germany. They're not ham-burgers, they're Hamburg-ers, as in something that comes from Hamburg.
It's a good thing Sheldon disproved Cow-Tipping, because in actuality it's a really mean and cruel thing to do to Cows. You can really hurt them by tipping them over with such injuries like rupturing their intestinal tracts or break their ribs. And for what, really? I mean, does pushing over a cow make you really feel like you accomplished something in life?
You can't tip a cow and you won't hurt them. You most likely would not even come close enough to touch a cow if you're outsider to them. And if you're really unlucky you will be hurt by cows.
@@jkgf4671 I think what he means is that you CAN tip a cow, but the only real way to do so would cause severe injury to the cow through the sheer violence of the action. I mean, a truck smashing to the side of the cow will definitely tip it over.
Wow, Sheldon was actually wrong. He said it’s scientifically impossible to tip a cow over. If you chop off the front and back leg on the same side the cow will tip over. So, possible.
I was 16 in Nebraska, what do you think? I was 16 in South Dakota. And yes, you can totally tip a cow even if you're drunk. Just reach under it, grab the opposing legs at the knees, and stand up. Or so I've heard.
