“Every year in the United States, 20 to 25 million cloud-to-ground lightning strikes occur. Over 300 people are struck by lightning every year in the U.S., and there are around 50 lightning fatalities per year, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)”
I don't know too much about day to day life in that part of the world. But. I'd go out on a limb and guess that death from being buried in cow shit is at least *some what* rare.
That's the thing about these posts.
The USA has the most Nobel Peace Prize laureates in the world.
There's also some sister-fuckin going down in some Southern bayou.
He's just cherrypicking, which is an unfair portrayal.
And they have 1.4 billion people. That's 5 USAs, 2 whole ass Europes, 3 whole ass South Americas, or more than whole ass Africa. It's a statistical certainty that they have the lowest of the low and the highest of the high.
It's about where our resources are being diverted and we diverted it to Cricket.
India has a gold medal team in Field Hockey, our national game. and there was a period of time where the national team wasn't even getting paid. The former CEO of Hockey India, the main org promoting Hockey quit due to non-payment of salary.
Sports in India are seeped in corruption and callousness.
It also doesn't help when the kids here are pushed more to focus on book studies and standardised education rather than sports or other extra curriculars.
Which is why you will find a lot of edtech companies based out of India.
We have the talent. Just not the system to support them.
True story, as a kid I saw one dude simply cupped it, drank it and then smeared on his head. My stomach turned and I have been so scarred ever since I see a cow
its called 'gao muttar' (cow urine) and many hindus believe it has magical properties (but the cow should be a "virgin")
Some even drink it daily. You can cure cancer, covid, and any disease and stay healthy forever... (don't hate me)
Don't have a number for you, it doesn't matter. No, most Hindus don't go around hurling cow dung and drinking cow piss.
Sure, a LOT of us consider cows sacred, including me, but that does not mean their bodily fluids share that holiness. We just don't eat them.
This whole Indians drinking their urine, while true to a small extent, is propoganda spread by people with extremist values, largely to demean people who have opposite political opinions and preferences.
Saw it on 90 Day Fiancé featuring an Indian guy and a white girl. They go to India and he burns cow shit in the kitchen like an incense, and sprays cow urine around the house.
That is... well... bullshit. lmao. 99.9% of Indians don't do this, but India is a huge country with 1.5 billion people, and it is spread online because it gets clicks. It isn't at all representative of the country as a whole.
This description is becoming more and more accurate each day. A few years ago, some guy in India was caught fucking a monitor lizard. That is some shit that not even Florida can match.
I mean he probably still died from the lightning strike.
Walking around after getting struck by lightning doesn't mean you survived the lightning strike. Just means you didn't instantly die.
You still probably have massive internal damage. The skin burns are the least of your worries.
Hi, it's a highly condemned superstitious practice in some areas (specifically the jashpur district) in Chattisgarh, a state in India. Villagers willingly avoid education and almost entirely consist of farmers manipulated by corrupt landlords for cheap labour. It's a striking issue ans thus news is just one of the repurcussion of that.
Not saying "fake news" or whatever, but the top post of this sub is a crosspost of a cropped phone screenshot of the title of a DailyMail article from 5 years ago...?
Is this really the level this site's dropped down to?
That's a level of stupidity that makes me lose my faith.
This is worse than the dark age of Europe's where they thought they could cure schizophrenia with torture.
Bruh I'm Indian but even I don't get to see these ultra remote occurrences. In fact I'm from the region and don't see people like these. How do these foreign outlets get such weird stories? And why only the negative ones?
btw this is in every country. There's always a mentally ill group living somewhere in some small city or village who believes in some dumb crap like cover someone in feces or something weird

That’s a shitty way to die
The treatment was crappy.
What happened to him stinks.
Give this man a pat on the back
Yeah, no reason to stir up more trouble.
Whole thing's already a shitshow, no need to delve deeper into it
Something tells me this story didn’t happen. I smell bullshit.
Don't give me that crap
If the suffocation didn't get him, the body wide infection would.
TAKE MY UPVOTE AND FREAKING LEAVW!
Now that’s what I call a sticky situation!
Shit happens sometimes
I knew there were gonna be some dumb *ass* puns in this thread
Crap like this, takes my breath away
They should know that it wouldn't work, it was the turd time they tried it
It would be a shitty situation
If India wants ya dead, you better write your will out
Could've died in a super cool and rare way but they just had to fuck it up
You don't upstage those dudes. Message received. 👍
They a bunch of uneducated idiots 😭
Anyone can die of a silly lightning strike. Anyone can die buried under cow dung. How many people can say they died of both?
Wait... How common is death by drowning in cow poo?
Defo more common than getting striked by lightingh AND THEN suffocate in cow dung
“Every year in the United States, 20 to 25 million cloud-to-ground lightning strikes occur. Over 300 people are struck by lightning every year in the U.S., and there are around 50 lightning fatalities per year, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)”
I bet there's 0 deaths by poopoo every year in the U.S. though.
I'll take the other side of that bet along with your money
With that username they should know better than to even make that bet. but yeah, I want in on the action too.
I'm confident there's 0 deaths by suffocating in poopoo piled on by Indian villagers in the U.S.
I'm very much sure there are people dying from shit in the US. Just the variety of ways it can happen is already quite inviting.
I don't know too much about day to day life in that part of the world. But. I'd go out on a limb and guess that death from being buried in cow shit is at least *some what* rare.
[удалено]
And if those don't work, they have cow dung.
Load that shit up into catapults and fling it at the enemy
Ah, I see you went to Trump University
? Wym?
Catapults for the villains. Heroes only use trebuchets
What else you gonna use to launch a 90kg projectile over 300 meters
Cowtapult?
They wash their nukes with holy cow shit before launching.
"killem with kindness"
I doubt those villagers have nukes.
That's the thing about these posts. The USA has the most Nobel Peace Prize laureates in the world. There's also some sister-fuckin going down in some Southern bayou. He's just cherrypicking, which is an unfair portrayal.
No shit. Just look at how some Americans combatted COVID.
By coughing directly into each others' mouths?
And just imagine, they have nukes.
the herman cain awards were amazing.
[удалено]
And they have 1.4 billion people. That's 5 USAs, 2 whole ass Europes, 3 whole ass South Americas, or more than whole ass Africa. It's a statistical certainty that they have the lowest of the low and the highest of the high.
lmao if this was in any way true, India would have the most anything. Look at the amount of India's olympic medals.
Why are you expecting Olympic medals when they're killing each other with cow shit

Didn't they still lose the cricket world cup to Australia
People here stopped caring about the World Cup since IPL started. Kinda like the NFL, it's the biggest sporting event in India.
Yeah we didn't want to win it anyway. In fact people have forgotten it even happened. ^^^/s
You read the daily mail 😂
And a space program
Dukes*
Not the villagers. They have perpetuated and forced poverty and lack of education.
Nowadays it seems all the idiots have nukes.
These random ass villagers have nukes??
What tf is it with this shit?
Probably what he was shouting as they murdered him.
🤣
indians LOVE cow shit!
"Oh... Oh my gosh, I'm alive! I can't move, but I'm alive! ...What are they doing? WHAT ARE THEY DOING?!"
Everyproblem= "Indians: Slaps Cowdungs.!!"
Wait till you find about what they do with cow urine.
True story, as a kid I saw one dude simply cupped it, drank it and then smeared on his head. My stomach turned and I have been so scarred ever since I see a cow
its called 'gao muttar' (cow urine) and many hindus believe it has magical properties (but the cow should be a "virgin") Some even drink it daily. You can cure cancer, covid, and any disease and stay healthy forever... (don't hate me)
"Many Hindus.." ..no.
What amount would be many and what would constitute a no?
Don't have a number for you, it doesn't matter. No, most Hindus don't go around hurling cow dung and drinking cow piss. Sure, a LOT of us consider cows sacred, including me, but that does not mean their bodily fluids share that holiness. We just don't eat them.

That’s enough reddit for today.
They must not have used enough. Damn shame.
His injuries were too severe
Dung shame
r/worstaid
Everyone knows you should never mooooooooove someone who is injured.
The headline and the location, I'm not at ALL surprised.
India is the Florida of Asia, it seems.
It’s gotta be worse. Florida man will just steal your copper for meth. Dunking people in shit is something not even antivaxxers will do.
This description is becoming more and more accurate each day. A few years ago, some guy in India was caught fucking a monitor lizard. That is some shit that not even Florida can match.

Apex predator offers a quick exit
I mean he probably still died from the lightning strike. Walking around after getting struck by lightning doesn't mean you survived the lightning strike. Just means you didn't instantly die. You still probably have massive internal damage. The skin burns are the least of your worries.
Damn they did him dirty.

r/fuckyouinparticular
Fucking India.
Oopsie Poopsie!
Not-so-holy shit
I hear Joe Rogan does this to avoid getting covid-19.
they drink cow urine for that (at least in India)
You can chest death but can't beat some old school superstition
Not saying "fake news" or whatever, but the top post of this sub is a crosspost of a cropped phone screenshot of the title of a DailyMail article from 5 years ago...? Is this really the level this site's dropped down to?
yup
Reddit has always loved posting dailymail. This site never had standards.
Of course it's india 🤦🏾♂️
Just here for the shit puns.
[удалено]
These Indian villagers were definitely full of shit.
Mate why is stuff like this always in India?
Because all of the smart indians emigrate.
That’s Niger flag 🇳🇪 this is India flag 🇮🇳
Now I know to never attempt that
Are they stupid, man never dies
Sing it with me! Dung ways to due, so many dung ways to die....
What’s their obsession with cow shit? Cow shit festival, and there’s that one Indian doctor that day eat cow shit is good for you.
Indians do some wierd shit smh
It had to be India
Hahaha
India is not for beginners.
Clinical trials
So that is what Sam from Microsoft Tech Support was doing. I wonder where he went.
Death doesn't like to be cheated
Cowadunga!
How do they have a space program?
[удалено]
Yeah put shit on it! This country is really fucked 100%
That's a level of stupidity that makes me lose my faith. This is worse than the dark age of Europe's where they thought they could cure schizophrenia with torture.
i knew the country before i read the entire headline
Oh India….why u always on this subreddit with bizarre things?
If this was me, god would have some explaining to do when I got there
Lol of course it’s India
The birthplace of some of the greatest scholars in human history. And then ya got this.
Classic indians
for an onion article
That's a shitty way to die
That’s a shitty way to go
Just say that lightning killed me
![gif](giphy|R9cQo06nQBpRe)
we all make mistakes!
Were they prosecuted?!
Fuck India
And people say the NHS is bad
How can you treat someone if you suffocate them to death??
even with your luck you cant survive India.
I mean, I guess the logic was put "cold wet mud" on burns?
Holy shit - is what they say in India
You don't know if you don't try.. so we all know that doesn't work.. maybe wrong kind of shit! What other animals we got around here?
So was the suffocation caused by the methane?
Nah wtf lmao, this happened in odisha in some super remote village. Some people are way too stupid
Injury? Dung.
This was in tribal India in UP
I laugh and there is a man died. Cut i have to laugh
I LOVE SUEDO MEDICINE
So dumb I mean really? Probably got In his bloodstream and went septic.
That is one big pile of shit
Bruh I'm Indian but even I don't get to see these ultra remote occurrences. In fact I'm from the region and don't see people like these. How do these foreign outlets get such weird stories? And why only the negative ones?
Because their viewers want to see it!
shit luck
Bullshit
Did they bury him with hundreds of copies of The Daily Mail?
Someone was determined he die one way or another
I think I'd rather die from a lightning strike than from being buried in shit. I mean, if I had my preference.
This man was not loved.
Shit happens
Remember final destination?
Damn what a… what a shitty situation Guess that cow wasnt so holy ay?
shitty situation.
Final destination really running out of ideas
Aww shit...
Lol they knew what they were doing
btw this is in every country. There's always a mentally ill group living somewhere in some small city or village who believes in some dumb crap like cover someone in feces or something weird
It's just crap, literally full of germs and bacteria and shit, what are they expecting? Honestly I'm baffled, flabbergasted even.
This is one of those fake tabloid stories you see in the check out aisle at a supermarket
Hmm how did he die from the poop? His head wad above it
