## In-universe problems

### Horsewashing

According to claims made by *Professor James Harcombe*, cows have been repeatedly been overshadowed by horses in history, even though they weren't invented until the 1970s. Harcombe explains that horses were designed to be sexier cows, and that "horsewashing" is designed to discredit cows in favor of the sexier image. Harcombe also claims that cows were integral in various pivotal moments of history, such as soldiers in World War II, and that the Trojan Horse was actually a giant wooden cow, full of cow soldiers.

### 4 Meat Taxonomy

The Beef and Dairy Network universe religiously believes in only 4 meats, beef, lamb, pork and chicken. All meats in the universe either have or are in the process of being added to this taxonomy. For more information, one may check the page on this topic. Beef is hailed as holy within the UK and America, and lamb is generally considered evil, and ironically, "the black sheep" of the 4 meats. This has also caused great strife in the scientific field, with any number of creatures being tacked onto the taxonomy to fit the religious beliefs of the world. Even more so, the controversies surrounding the 5th meat demonstrate how the discovery of alien life could completely dismantle the global religion that is the 4 meat taxonomy.

### The Persuasion

*The Persuasion* is a wildly powerful cult, founded by *Eli Roberts* that emphasizes physical and mental strength via intense trials, usually ending in death. Ever since spreading to Korea, the originally small cult has developed global strength.

### Backstreet Vets

Backstreet vets are doctors who lost their veterinarian status, and now specialize in adding animal parts to humans. This was heavily focused on in *episode 25*, and described the process by which *Les Cheese's* body was gradually replaced with the parts of various animals.

### Science

The general world of the Beef and Dairy Network universe seems very scientifically backwards. In episode 58, claims are made that science has yet to understand why manure helps plants grow, for instance. This is heavily contrasted by scientific achievements such as backstreet vets, any number of Mitchell's products, as well as the farming of aliens on the moon. This seems to imply that the government and various corporations intentionally hide advanced science from the public in order to stay above them.

## Real-World Differences

In the Beef and Dairy Network universe, there are a number of real-world characters and events that have been altered in its version of Earth. These can range from real-world people performing strange acts in the universe, real-world locations, or real-world events or political conflicts.

### Alternate Events

* **The moon landing:** When America landed on the moon, they discovered *indestructible aliens* on the dark side of it, and proceeded to farm them to fill gaps in the food supply. This was a pivotal move in making America a global superpower.
* **Brexit:** England left the UK in this version of the timeline over slaughtering disputes.
* World War II: During World War 2 specifically, the Germans supposedly allied with pigs. Harcombe claims that the reason the Nazi Party lost to the Allies was because pigs are inherently untrustworthy.

#### Alternate People

* **Sting:** String was chosen to be the only person in the UK to survive the apocalypse by the UN.
* **Donald Trump:** Donald Trump was involved in a controversy, in which he shoveled lamb off of a barbecue with his bare hands.
* **Elijah Wood:** Elijah Wood was caught dressed as a bull with actor *Philip Mushroom.*
* **Elon Musk:** Elon Musk has a relationship with \_\_\_, and could potentially be involved in perverted acts involving a plant-based cow.

#### Alternate Locations

* **Claonaig:** *Eli Roberts* takes over Claonaig, enslaving its population and forcing them to join *the Persuasion*.
* **The United Nations:** The UN has a secret underground meat bunker, and plan to distribute beef to select people when the world ends.
* **Turkey:** Turkey is the site of *Devil's Pimple*, the prison in which *Sid Onion* is held prisoner.
