The flame comes from gas released from a bloated cow's stomach. Cows naturally produce methane during digestion through a process called enteric fermentation, where microbes in their rumen break excessive gas builds up in the stomach, creating pressure that sometimes needs to be relieved using a tube inserted by a vet. If the released gas is exposed to a flame, it burns - because methane is highly flammable in the presence of oxygen.

Oh dear, pardon me

The real question is why aren't we mining Bitcoin with this stranded energy.

Are you going down a bovine rabbit hole sleepy? πŸ˜‚

I remember cows getting bloat from getting into fresh alfalfa fields, and my father having to perform emergency surgery on the spot to save lives 😬 crazy to watch when you're a kid.

But can I mine bitcoin with all that wasted energy
