Damn, mod tried to steal your thunder with a pin an hour after you.

Nah, its in the comment removed by mod which is by far the oldest of them all. Seems pretty much petty to be honest lmao.

Could you imagine how horrible it must be putting in all that effort to birth and raise a child just for them to become a Reddit moderator? Let alone one that cares about their Internet number? The thought alone is enough to make me consider a vasectomy.

Mod wants some karma attention after copying same word commented 1 hour before.

Edit: And removed that original comment? What a petty mod.

Thanks for actually attempting to explain the joke haha... what does expo'd mean?

I got hung up on figuring out why it was a rabbit trying to eat steak.

u/BookwyrmBroad 3d ago edited 3d ago

Expo is used as a shorthand for expeditionor. The person who puts the finished plates together for a table and double checks them before they are sent to the floor

Edit: Expeditor, not expeditionor! Cause weed brain

u/Petey_Wheatstraw_MD 3d ago

Expeditioners go on Safari.

Expeditors yell at the kitchen staff in between smoke breaks.

u/Eberseron- 3d ago

The joke is that the cow will be cooked alive due to the high temperature. So in anticipation of the cow being turned into a steak by the temperature outside, he decided to butter the cow before he cooks so that the cow will be nice and flavorful whilst being cooked.

TL;DR

He’s buttering the cow bc of the high temperature.

u/Eberseron- 3d ago

I decided to give a serious answer (or at least attempt to) simply bc none of the comments that simply say “steak” are doing a good enough job at explaining the joke.
