There is one particularly odious debatelord on lemm.ee or lemmy.world that goes to lengths to argue that in several threads. Often enough for me to have recognized the useename. So yeah definitely seen it in the wild.

To be fair it's an exaggeration but based in truth - although of course it's a result of selectively breeding dairy cows and removing the calf, so as an argument against veganism it's somewhat self defeating

But yeah not milking a dairy cow will result in excessive pressure in the udders, which causes pain, infections, and sometimes the rupturing of the udder which i assume is where the 'explodes' comes from

are the animals that totally have no way of communicating any of their thoughts or attitudes in this room with us right now
