Actually, the bell is because their horns don’t work.

That's why geese don't need bells.

OP clearly wasn't there for the beforetimes, when cities were razed by bovines from hell wielding polearms.

Edit: for those out of the loopDiablo 2 had a secret cow level you could unlock after completing the fifth act.

It was a joke level the developers added in response to rumors about a secret cow level in the first game.

There is no cow level

I assume it's a reference to the game West of Loathing, where in the past "the cows came home". The cows were demonic bovine monsters that razed huge chunks of the land.

Or I just play weird games and I'm missing the actual reference. 🤷‍♂️

Diablo 1 had a cow level.

You just never got to it.

Keep clicking.

The bell keeps them from killing sharks. Sharks are endangered

That's way better than the other options to fuck

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

Nice reference :p

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Piece is a paid cow account.

There are 20-30 people killed by cows in the US alone every year.

Globally only 5-6 people die every year from shark attacks.

Those cows are trying to get you to let them stealthily engage in mass murder. Keep the bells on!

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 5 days ago

The actual death toll is probably higher than that as most bodies are never found because the cows drag the body's up into trees when they're never found.

I don't support moo-rder
