This is exactly what the internet was made for.

This guy decided to actually put a bull in a china shop to see if the simile phrase, "like a bull in a china shop" lived up to the hype.

It did. The bull fucking destroyed the china shop. We need to get this guy a grant, because he's doing important science! #article #blog

We need to get him on Nostr, so we can zap him! Zcience at work!

Yeah, he's nostr material. And then we could raise sats to fund his very important work!

Not a real china shop, experiment invalidated

Mythbusters was wrong? 😮😉

Did they do a "bull in the china shop" episode?

Yes. It was outdoors, but they made a "mock" china shop. The bovines didn't feel like running into things. For people that work around animals, this shouldn't be too surprising.

I'd say it was a bad experiment since it didn't reflect the indoor environment. Feeling confined in a shop may produce different results than having blue sky above you while walking among some shelves. I'd say it didn't adequately reflect the actual environment, and is therefore a flawed experiment 😁

Agreed. At the same time, most animals don't want to touch things, especially unfamiliar things. They'll slip through, seemingly impossible, gaps to avoid contact.
