This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don’t think the horse pill means what anon thinks it means…

Joe Rogan ruined horsepill posts

0 emissions

FYI: Horses fart and methane is a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide.

I'm also intrigued by the "costs $1000 and $750/year to maintain" claim, as the horse people I know spend closer to 20x that.

Humans also fart methane, is that a reason not to ride them?

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

If your ride consents to that, just pug the hole.

Not through the mouth though.

Where is this guy getting a horse for $1,000 from?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I mean if you want any old horse and can transport it you can often get them for free. They're like pianos

you can often get them for free

The maintenance cost of a "free" horse is anything but

Oh I'm not discounting that. Free pianos don't tend to be cheap either to get tuned, and that's if you can even tune them in the first place.

does a horse not transport itself ?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Not in a way amenable to seal the deal a few cities across, unless you get a one way ride up there and you’re prepared to camp/hotel a few nights on the way back

Isn't that the point though. He's replacing his car with a horse because apparently a horse makes more sense in this guy's world.

If after buying the horse you have to use a vehicle to transport it, doesn't that invalidate the argument?

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

I guess, we'd have to consult with the horse-pilled anon OP if he meant to replace absolutely all driving with horse riding, but I was assuming his take was mostly about day to day trips and not necessarily all trips.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I see, guess I didn't plan all the way through

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

Don't blame yourself, they just don't teach horses in school anymore

$750 a year to maintain health

Lol

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago

$750/month if you have to stable it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Yeah, this might be 750 dollars worth of bottom of the barrel, wholesale, oats needed to give the average horse enough calories to survive.
