Oh yeah, as a wise Adam Savage once said:

Remember kids, the only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down.

That cow in the GIF is screwing around. But if it could have a chat with its cow friends about how that ball is flying and they could write that shit down – and they’d have stable enough of a food supply and no predators – then I 100% believe that they would continue screwing around + writing down, until they’ve figured out a rule for how that ball flies.

And from that point, they would start building trebuchets and take over the world. Cause that’s how things go, appparently…
