Horses ARE Forever (lemmy.world)

And yet, unhitched from the menial task of transportation, the average horse today enjoys a far better quality of life than the average pre-car horse. Why? Horse girls. You see, now that the market demand for horses is no longer based on actual horsepower, horses can render the service of "just being themselves" for those who appreciate that most (in much more forgiving circumstances). In this way, horses truly are forever... and the real losers really are mankind. And its machines. In this essay, I will

If you can get me a car I can pass out drunk in and it'll still get me home and steal a policeman's cap, I'll ride it.

I'd rather have a ultralight carbon fiber donkey carriage

This literally happened to my great grandfather in the late 1920s. He bought a car, got distracted by the sight of a pretty lady, and drove into a swamp. He was yelling "whoa! whoa!" and pulling back on the steering wheel while the car went off the road. That is what he had done his whole life to stop a horse drawn buggy in an emergency. He told my grandfather, who was riding with him at the time, that he could have the car if he could get it out of the swamp. He said he was going back to his horse and buggy because a horse wouldn't have run off the road into a swamp no matter what he looked at. He continued to use a horse and buggy for all of his transportation needs until he died in the mid 1960s. #FuckCars

frankly won't be surprised, if Tesla survives 30 years we're gonna see a Cyberhorse. big if. but yeah. and they'll be obnoxious too.

When your drunk, horse drives you home.

Horses are superior. When your car break down, you'll starve to death. Horses, however... 😋

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

have already starved to death because there's no food available within 5 standard miles, they tripped over a curb and broke their leg, and some shady looking feller keeps hanging around in the creek back yonder that looks at them shifty...

If cars are better than horses, why do horses still exist? Checkmate evolutionist

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Just because cars evolved from horses doesn't mean horses stop existing, only a portion of the horse population spilt off and evolved into cars

Mr. Hands enters the chat.....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Can anyone confirm whether this is true?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

now that the market demand for horses is no longer based on actual horsepower, horses can render the service of “just being themselves” for those who appreciate that most

hmmm... contradicting the corporatist theory that technology/automation/AI has always resulted in more employment, the employment level of horses has decreased significantly... so let us all welcome those who will appreciate our use as glue ingredients.

Horses, the original automatic braking

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Yup, in that they were very good and would fling ppl to thier death.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Self driving, too, provided you want to go where the horse wants to go.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I keep telling my wife the auto functions in my A3 are like having a horse. Including the odd "oh I'm gonna brake for no reason because I got spooked, now".
I fucking love it!

Bro there is LITERALLY an anime about horse girls

Humanity won

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Horses are only fast because of the shape of their four long legs. You can't just give someone a carrot and long ears and expect them to be a horse. That just makes them a cat rabbit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

They have god-damned tails and superhuman strength for some reason

We won, but at what cost?

What's the oldest serviceable horse breed?
