People need to wake up. We've had more explosions and fires on farms in the past two years than in our entire lifetime. Any rational person would think either A: farmers are all masochists now or B: something else is going on. Connect the dots.

The farmers are running meth labs to make ends meat?
(typo intentional)
Insurance fraud to cash out of losing business? Sell for 50% recovery or destroy for 100% recovery?
That has to be one heck of an explosion to do that much damage. What is the square footage to hold 18,000 cows plus feed stations, milking equipment, etc?

The latest thing in farming - the high-rise cowshed? 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Horrendously small. Whistleblowers that have attempted to bring light to the atrocious conditions have been murdered, no joke. 
This explosion, if I heard correctly, was probably caused by the methane in a confined space, either from the cows themselves or from the waste collection, I don't know.
Presumably a spark from some machinery set it off. I doubt it was anyone smoking, since I think only one person was injured, and they survived. If I recall correctly that is. I read about it yesterday.

We have to accept that either farmers are stupid and cow the population has increased dramatically in the past two years to make cow farts a bigger issue now, or that something else is going on. Cows have been farting for a while now. All these explosions are new. There is more than meets the eye going on, just from a sheer logical perspective.
As a side note, chickens are treated worse. I'm not a vegetarian by any means, but gluttony is a sin the west has been guilty of for a while now. Myself included. So while I do not think cow farts are the next atomic bomb the foolish media portrays, we most certainly should treat the animals better that we noms on.

If I had to guess, there's probably more cows packed into less space than there was in previous decades.
If that's the trend, and if it continues, the methane thing will certainly be a problem.

Guess again.
World Cattle Inventory By Year - Beef2Live | Eat Beef * Live Better
While cow population doesn't necessarily mean they weren't stuffed into smaller spaces, at least least a better metric to go on than the fake news or a guess. There's zero logical reason to do that without more cows existing, especially during the economic slowdown we've had in the past few years.
To reiterate; it's not cow farts. Most people are too scared to learn the truth. I only avoid flat-out saying what it is because it's the lounge. But to assume cow farts from being packed like sardines is to also assume farmers are stupid and couldn't figure out farts are bad after the first few explosions.

So certainly then presumably a conspiracy theory must thus follow.
lol - just looked it up ... more click bait stupidity.

Except a single barn for that many would have had to have been 14 acres. Which nothing I found suggests barns are that big.

I don't know what the actual facilities look like, but if it was a bunch of separate buildings I could still see a chain reaction. 18,000 cows is a lot of burgers.
Where else is an explosion like that going to come from?

I believe I know the reason why, but that would be going too far down the rabbit hole for the lounge. My only hope is people will wake up and realize a trend is going on and then do the research themselves.

18k cows jammed into a small enough space to kill them all would produce a $hitton of methane, pardon the pun.

You're missing the point. This is why the Internet isn't fun any more. 
To repeat, I'm referring to the frequency of explosions. It's not like the population of cows tripled in the past year to cause cow farts to be more of an issue than they were 5 years ago.

For example more reporting on things like that now versus long ago?

"deadliest barn fires"
Wonder what that actually means. Seems like it must mean multiple barns actually burned. Which leads one to wonder about the spread between them unless perhaps fuel of some sort was involved.
Actually my first thought was a single barn...
Normal room for a single cow is 35 square ft. That is 630,000 square feet for that number of cows. So that gives a single barn that would require 14+ acres.
Kind of hard to find the 'biggest' barn but I did find the largest horse barn in US which is 78,000 square ft.
An order of magnitude less.
So probably not a single barn.

Quote: Becks is producing the world’s first beer and full marketing campaign made with artificial intelligence, the company said in a statement.
The German beer leaned into AI to create the limited-edition Beck’s Autonomous to celebrate its 150-year milestone. The technology was not only used to generate the recipe and the name, but also to design the logo, container and advertising campaign. Beck’s is releasing just 450 Autonomous limited-edition beers across Germany, Italy, and the UK.
McCormick & Co. partnered with IBM four years ago to comb through data faster and more effectively by knowing which ingredients work together or which ones can be used as substitutes for each other.
The AB InBev-owned brand said the beer, called Beck’s Autonomous, was selected by AI as its favorite among millions of different flavor combinations it generated. The “futuristic concoction” contains water,
malts, hops, yeast and AI.

Cool.
Beck is an excellent beer.
Spend a lot of time in Germany back in the early 80's.
Beck was the beer of choice (that and Guinness) among my German colleagues.
I will see if I can find this latest version in US.
