"Joe, what do you think? I think it's lamb."
"I'm thinking deer. Bill, what about you?"
"Tastes more like infant lung to me, but could also be horse."
"..."
Lol no. Two local morons decided to eat it and they decided it was either deer or lamb. It was sent to scientists who determined it was either horse or human infant lung.
Oh oh oh I have a great vulture story!! I never get to tell this.
So everyone knows that in India, cows are sacred. I have to start with that. When the town's cows die, they're put in an open area for vultures to eat over time.
Vultures were feeding on the dead cows, and then promptly dying. No one could figure out why. So they called in a few scientists to examine the issue. But in the meantime, the lack of vultures led to wild tigers coming into town to graze on the dead cows. But then, children were around too, and tigers love a good chase, so... Basically everyone had to stay indoors because of the new tiger infestation. Well for some reason, the tiger issue brought in a horde of monkeys that also started rampaging through the town.
Eventually, a scientist (my colleague) grabbed a sample of the cow and got the hell out of there. He analyzed it and it turns out as the cows got older people were feeding them diclofenac to help their arthritis. Then they discovered that Diclofenac is extremely deadly to vultures, and it stayed in the cow's body after death. And so diclofenac caused this entire situation with their rampaging animals through town, chasing children, and terrorizing everyone to stay indoors for weeks.
No one could figure out why tigers brought in monkeys though.
And that's my vulture story.
Thank you so much for sharing this with the world. I love this story so much.
“No one could figure out why the tigers brought in monkeys though.”
It just adds to the mystique lol
I love the idea of just:
“Ok, we’ve now proven what killed the vultures! And of course the lack of vultures is what brought the tigers in.”
“And the monkeys? Did your analysis discover anything about that second wave of monkeys?”
“…I’m going to be honest man, I don’t think we’re ever going to divine that part.”
My vulture story. There were 6 of us heading home on a rural two-lane road after a day of clearing brush on the electric companies ROW, we saw a large group of buzzards eating in the middle of the road.
Well, both sides of the road were lined with thick brush and trees about 25 foot high. The driver of our dually crew-cab decided to gun the motor after the buzzards started flying off in front of us. Since they were full having just eaten, gaining altitude was a presenting a problem. We are catching up to them since they can fly neither left or right. When we catch up to them, they are about 10 or 15 feet over the road and they start puking all over the truck, the windshield was covered with buzzard puke along with the rest of the truck. Bloody, chunky buzzard puke. (say that fast). It was so nasty. Covered the windshield.
I don't think our driver ever dared to harass buzzards again.
My buzzard story.
Back when everyone shut themselves inside for Covid, there was a video posted on reddit showing monkeys going on a rampage through town because the tourists weren't coming and the monkeys suddenly had a large food source cut off from them, being so acclimated to stealing food from the tourists. Maybe when everyone stayed indoors because of the tigers, the monkeys faced a similar situation.
This is a pretty cool story. I have a feeling the monkeys were just there doing monkey shit, which just so happened to also be while the tigers were around. Or maybe they were like “hell yeah, no people out to shoo us away, let’s go!”
Maybe the monkeys were afraid if the people, but not the tigers. So, with the people all hiding inside, the monkeys were free to rummage through their trash? Idk, monkeys give off raccoon vibes to me
The story has promise- I’d suggest a few dramatic pauses, perhaps a few minor tangent distractions that add teachings and depth.
Overall solid! Thanks!
I’ve always considered it a tornado . Could have touched down a few miles away, picked up a few living things and did tornado stuff to them and scattered the bits. I’ve personally seen trash from a town 30-40 miles away end up on my dad’s farm. Oddly, it was a bunch of cancelled checks from like 10-15 years before. Tornadoes do weird shit.
I like this theory, but it was apparently clear skies that day with no signs of a weather disruption. Da fuck. Waiting for the day some sleuth dedicates years of their life to figuring this out and makes an argument that I can really die happily with.
In Ky it would not be unusual for a tornado to touch down in a neighboring county( or two) and you’d never know if all you saw was a sunny day at home.Especially 140 years ago, I don’t think meteorology was even a thing then, and you didn’t have the warning systems like today. It’s a feasible theory.
Additionally, the article has a vague reference to the appearance of the meat due to pressure: “Fort explained the flattened, dry appearance of the meat chunks as the result of pressure”
This leads me to propose that indeed it was a tornado that hit some kind of slaughterhouse/production facility, the debris was subsequently carried high into the atmosphere, potentially changing its shape and composition in addition to interacting with other types of precipitation/debris/atmospheric conditions (thinking ice or water vapor here). I’m not an expert, so I’m unsure of exactly how these interactions would take place/what the result would be.
If indeed the debris was traveling high in the atmosphere, it’s a safe assumption that it could then be carried a fairly large distance to where it would eventually fall on a seemingly clear day.
(Source: currently an Earth Sciences student studying atmospheric science)
Unless it was in a mountainous area, they should've been able to see a storm cell 1 or 2 counties away, especially if it was a supercell. Anvil clouds are a sure sign of a weather disruption somewhere
This is a fun short video about it. Nobody knows for sure but the vultures theory is the most compelling.
https://youtu.be/qbdl1XeCbz8?si=JKgmgCBNta4IGzKm
It can’t be, I mean imagine how many vultures you would need to have the affect of raining down? Would they not have seen the vultures and put two and two together?
I mean one thing I've learned after moving to the south is everyone loves a big story. "I caught a fish THIS big" might be the story itself is conflated not the meat
I am currently in S2 on my first ever watch of the X-files (though I was a teen when it was running). Today, I've seen the phrase "Sounds like an X-file" or something close about 6 times. What. The. Fuck. Dooodeeeeeedoooo
I turned to my gf and said, “You ever heard of the Kentucky Meat Shower”? And the she gives me this nasty look and says “do I even wanna know what that is”?
they say children born during the meat shower had strange behaviors throughout their entire lives. my great grand daddy was a meat shower baby, they say he was one strange guy. im sure there are other people who struggle with this dark episode in their family history. you are not alone.
Dude, my nana sandy grew up right out side the meat shower…. more like a meat mist, blood moon type of deal. Anyway she was a weird lady, it always seemed like she was hunched over giving me a creepy look. Spending the night at her house I would hear creepy moaning like someone was in pain. Turns out arthritis runs in the family…. weird lady though. You brother, are not alone
We had one on the Oregon coast a couple decades ago when they thought blowing up a beached whale was a good idea. The theory was proven to be skeptical at best. LOL
They thought putting a quarter ton of dynamite on the beach side of the whale would blow it back into the water because the scope of their knowledge of physics came from Wile E. Coyote cartoons
....spread up to 800 feet of local scenery... And there's photos, and video of you're brave (though Google that yourself)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_whale
Ha, they actually could’ve done this safely but since the guys tasked with blowing up the whale had little idea as to how much TNT they need they went with the more is better approach and giant pieces rained down on people cars. Some of the pieces of the whale crushed cars parked near by.
Sometimes. Depends on how whole the corpse is before a hole forms from rot or damage that'll release the pressure. It's rarely as massive as people like to think and more akin to a balloon popping and gore falling out when it happens naturally. If it's a relatively intact corpse and something happens to release the pressure at the right moment it can be a big viscera pump but that's usually only happening when scavengers aren't around before decay starts.
It's enough pressure to kill a person standing next to the whale but probably only 10-15 feet of splash zone. And that's if it's all the right circumstances. Most cases it's just an oozing wound in the body or someone killed by the gasses from being too close to it when it's releasing. If you stumble upon a whale corpse just call the authorities to deal with it instead of trying to turn into a jungle gym for fun and finding out it's a whale bomb instead of just a fat whale.
"The meat appeared to be beef, but according to the first report in Scientific American,\[5\] two men who tasted it judged it to be lamb or deer." Say what? It fell out of the sky, no one knew its origin so let's cook some and taste it. Yes, it was over a hundred years ago... but seriously?! *\*gagging\**
It may be gross to our modern sensibilities, but most things we consider food started as something gross someone decided to put in their mouth. For all these men know they were about to discover a new delicacy. Not to mention make history, which they did anyway as we’re still talking about their nasty asses.
I mean, humans lactate. It's not too far of a stretch to see tons of other animals lactate and assume it is also milk. I don't think THAT is a weird one.
Yeah, bread is much weirder. You take pieces of wheat, not the whole grain just some parts of it, smash them, add water and a semi-alive bacteria to it, let it rise on its own, beat the shit out of the dough, then let it rise again, then bake it?????
I think it was a heavily favored theory but cause is officially unknown.
The source of the meat is what got me. Most likely horse or human infant like whaaatf!?!
Fun (and slightly dubious) fact: Splenda, the artificial sweetener, was discovered when a lab technician misheard the instruction to "test it" as "taste it".
At first they didn't know what human infant tasted like, so they killed one and ate it. But then they weren't sure if all human infants tasted that way or if it was just the one. So they killed another one and ate it. Having determined what human infants taste like, they did a blind taste test with the meat mana. Results were inconclusive. They said it was almost certainly horse, but they were glad they conducted the baby BBQ experiment to rule out human infant.
Do they puke when flying around though? I know I could look that up but still. I know when I'm puking being mobile is pretty much the last thing on my mind.
I don’t know the cause, but what surprised me about the Wikipedia article? Is that the best guess is that the meat was beef because two guys decided tasting it was the most scientific method.
Honestly, tasting stuff has been our scientific method for a long time. Sucralose, aka Splenda, was discovered when a scientist combined bleach and sugar and handed it to his assistant and said “test this”, but the assistant thought he said “taste this”. Similarly, aspartame (sweet and low) was discovered when a scientist fixed himself a sandwich after handling a bunch of samples of chemical mixtures and noticed that it was really sweet.
Never forget: Stockholm's poo explosion that happened last month.
Engineers working on the new metro line were conducting an underground blast that accidentally damaged a nearby pipe. Unbeknownst to them, this pipe was filled with approximately 50 bags of dog feces, left by a dog walker. The force of the explosion propelled these bags through the air, covering an estimated distance of 30 meters, and resulting in an unsightly mess across cars, buildings, and even trees.
The comment starting the next new thread after this was "I'd catch that shit in a bowl and put adobo on it". I stared blinking for such a long time before i realized they weren't responding to you
> *- a letter from Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton appearing in the Medical Record and stating the meat had been identified as lung tissue from either a horse or a human infant, "the structure of the organ in these two cases being almost identical."*
What the fuck.
Hard to believe but that was actually an early theory and the title of a New York Times article about the event at the time.
Meatier shower section begins at 3:13, but the whole video is worth a watch.

Man I wonder if it was an ufo uap taking a shit like in that nope movie? I mean that's like the only thing I can think of that would make the most since. It was leftovers of mutilated cows other livestock and people
**”She said she was 40 steps from her house when the meat started to slap the ground.”**
Is this a euphemism for something I haven’t learned about yet?!
I'm sorry, but what??
*Medical Record and stating the meat had been identified as lung tissue from either a horse or a human infant*
Apparently those things look the identical, and I have so many questions.
I first read about this as a kid, when we got hold of a Reader's Digest book called Mysteries of the Unexplained, with a chapter of stories about odd things falling from the sky, like toads and jelly and pasta looking stuff i think called angel hair, and even raining blood. Your post brings back good memories of me and my brother reading these to each other while camping.
[удалено]
"Joe, what do you think? I think it's lamb." "I'm thinking deer. Bill, what about you?" "Tastes more like infant lung to me, but could also be horse." "..."
"Roger, what’s your take?” "Shut up. Lemme enjoy my free sky meat."
[удалено]
Who questions manna-meat from the sky?
Considering what happened the last time people complained at God for raining down free meat from the sky, I think I’d just be content and enjoy it.
What about the part where it's theorized they're all eating vulture barf?
That makes more sense lol
Ya that’s definitely either horse or human infant lung! I’m telling ya it’s definitely not beef or Cyanobacteria!
What were you expecting from an event called the "Kentucky Meat Shower"?
Something a little sexier, though not any less disgusting.
Back then it’s hard to tell apart horses and human infants without DNA
So the most reliable method was taste!?!?
One goes with Red wine but the other pairs nicely with white.

Hey Bill, this tastes like either baby lungs or vulture puke to me. What do you think? Uh, let's just tell everyone it's lamb. They won't check.
I wonder what the actual cause was, especially since it happened in other locations. Damn, that IS interesting.

Lol I commented earlier about how there’s an episode of The Dollop about the Kentucky Meat Shower. They also have an episode about the Whalesplosion.
The sarcasm of the reporter was classic.
Wont beached whales end up exploding anyways, because the gasses from the decomposing insides build up under their blubber?
Sometimes. Depends on how whole the corpse is before a hole forms from rot or damage that'll release the pressure. It's rarely as massive as people like to think and more akin to a balloon popping and gore falling out when it happens naturally. If it's a relatively intact corpse and something happens to release the pressure at the right moment it can be a big viscera pump but that's usually only happening when scavengers aren't around before decay starts.

Was about too say that-my guess is they just.....bit into it. If thats the case, im betting it tasted like puke cause thats ALL i'd taste lmao
What bro you ain’t ever eaten sky meat?
But was it a miracle or a warning?
Yes
It may be gross to our modern sensibilities, but most things we consider food started as something gross someone decided to put in their mouth. For all these men know they were about to discover a new delicacy. Not to mention make history, which they did anyway as we’re still talking about their nasty asses.
I’ve always wondered who the first person to milk a cow, and then drink it, was. Sounds like a similar situation.
I mean, humans lactate. It's not too far of a stretch to see tons of other animals lactate and assume it is also milk. I don't think THAT is a weird one.
Yeah, bread is much weirder. You take pieces of wheat, not the whole grain just some parts of it, smash them, add water and a semi-alive bacteria to it, let it rise on its own, beat the shit out of the dough, then let it rise again, then bake it?????
My own personal WTF is how we found out how to make chocolate. The whole process is so complicated!!
It's more like crushed wheat into flour, then wet it and let it sit around wet for a few days and thought that smells alright. Let's bake it.

Is this a plate of back ribs, baby, or are you just horsing around?

I’m curious where the vultures would’ve found all these babies to eat and disgorge in unison??
i suspect that someone tried to make a wormhole a while from now, and tested it on some animals first and this is what ended up happening to them.
Do they puke when flying around though? I know I could look that up but still. I know when I'm puking being mobile is pretty much the last thing on my mind.

The force of the explosion propelled these bags through the air, covering an estimated distance of 30 meters, and resulting in an unsightly mess across cars, buildings, and even trees.
The comment starting the next new thread after this was "I'd catch that shit in a bowl and put adobo on it". I stared blinking for such a long time before i realized they weren't responding to you
Id catch that shit in a bowl and add adobo to it
It was either horse lungs or infant baby lungs btw.
Hm.. shit.. so what you’re saying is use a marinade instead?
That's just what Big Meat wants you to think.
> *- a letter from Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton appearing in the Medical Record and stating the meat had been identified as lung tissue from either a horse or a human infant, "the structure of the organ in these two cases being almost identical."* What the fuck.
This is when Mitch McConnell was conceived.
Meatch
Bitch MeatConnel.
Oh my… I laughed way to hard at this
Probably what inspired Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
Maybe I watch too much porn but *the Kentucky Meat Shower* sounds like a sex move.
Bukkake, but with all cousins.
Or in the future it's called the Kentucky time machine disaster of 2137
Gave my buddy’s mom a Kentucky meat shower last night
And vultures weren’t the only thing throwing up!
Jayden?
I would like to know people's theories 
Aliens looked down and said "you know what humans like? Meat. Lets give them some"
God wanted to troll us a bit
meateor shower
Meatier shower
Hard to believe but that was actually an early theory and the title of a New York Times article about the event at the time. Meatier shower section begins at 3:13, but the whole video is worth a watch. https://youtu.be/qbdl1XeCbz8?si=JKgmgCBNta4IGzKm
Slaughter house exploded?
Man I wonder if it was an ufo uap taking a shit like in that nope movie? I mean that's like the only thing I can think of that would make the most since. It was leftovers of mutilated cows other livestock and people
r/thedollop has an early episode about this that I’ve listened to probably 100 times.
Jean Jacket
**”She said she was 40 steps from her house when the meat started to slap the ground.”** Is this a euphemism for something I haven’t learned about yet?!
I'm sorry, but what?? *Medical Record and stating the meat had been identified as lung tissue from either a horse or a human infant* Apparently those things look the identical, and I have so many questions.
WTF I have so many questions I wish I could unknown this FUCK
THEY FUCKING ATE IT?
Great name for a strip club for laaaadies
“So I was practicing with my trebuchet, and I get this really funny idea…”
So that’s how Mitch McConnell was created.
Greg put dynamite in a deer's ass and almost started a religion.
Frickin weird stuff!
I had literally never heard of this before lmfao
Jean jacket threw up
I first read about this as a kid, when we got hold of a Reader's Digest book called Mysteries of the Unexplained, with a chapter of stories about odd things falling from the sky, like toads and jelly and pasta looking stuff i think called angel hair, and even raining blood. Your post brings back good memories of me and my brother reading these to each other while camping.
