So if you'd asked me an hour ago how those old-timey dynamite plungers from the cartoons worked, I'd have said "Who the fuck are you and how did you get in my house?"
If pressed, I'd have hypothesized that it was basically a giant version of the control boxes I used on model rockets as a kid: there's probably some kind of big old battery in there, and when you push the plunger down it completes the circuit and ignites the blasting caps.
The truth is much weirder! The box actually contains an electrical generator, pushing the plunger down creates the electricity needed for ignition, and there's a whole ingenious little Rube Goldberg machine inside to rev up the voltage and release it all at once.
I mean if I remember correctly you can literally rent a rocket launcher and blown up cows with it in Mongolia, I believe, so really it's all about location.
My enthusiasm for explosives has been greatly dampered by this.

Would this be Extreme Cow Tipping or XXXTREME Cow Tipping?

I'd for SURE rent a rocket launcher and, like, some old beater car from a scrap yard to totally blow into pieces though. That sounds like a good way to kill an afternoon. And a car!
you might think UK unis offering therapy dogs instead of counseling is bad, but at my uni they have this thing where they will let you lie in a grave for a while and think about life. its called the purification grave and you're not allowed to take phones or books in it with you

If I ever have children instead of making them stand in the corner and think about what they did I'm gonna make em go outside and lie in the Purification Grave and think about the fleeting nature of their infinitesimal existence.

yea people love to dig holes. a few folks each year get injured, or in rare cases die, by digging deep holes on the beaches around here and then having the hole collapse in on them.
Being pressure cooked in lye then having the resulting slurry properly disposed of sounds like a lot more care and expense than I would afford to my still alive body, please just step around my carcass wherever it falls
On Windows 10, if you hold down the Windows key and press period or semicolon, it pops up a window that gives you access to pages upon pages of Unicode emoji, "kaomoji", which is evidently the official term for emoji made out of Asian character sets, and a whole bunch of miscellaneous typographical symbols. If ever you need to flip a table (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ or ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ GIVE DIRETIDE again, don't go to Google, go to your keyboard!
My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.

A cow would blow you up in a second if it could!
But also yeah don't blow up cows that sucks.
