Redditors Debate How Much Milk a Cow Needs to Produce to Afford a VR Headset

Recently, some dairy farmers near Moscow in Russia decided to try out VR headsets on their cows to find out whether this would make them produce more milk.

This last question has a huge amount of people on Reddit sharing their thoughts and opinions on the matter. Just how much milk must a cow produce to afford a VR headset?

One person on Reddit jumped straight in with some numbers and percentages, making some rather decent assumptions: 

They've solicited a number of reactions, mostly positive and humorous, especially for their use of the sentence "let's assume cow conversion is negligible cost."

The debate ebbs and flows between different questions arising from the topic, some take into account the cost of electricity and running the farm into the equation: 

While others are proposing the usage of cheaper VR headsets would lower the total cost: 

These types of questions abound on Reddit and prove for a very interesting read. The question is not yet answered, however, as the VR headset creators and the farm owners have yet to make any comment on the matter.
