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
It doesn’t make sense to use automobiles. Imagine having to build out paved roads everywhere and also set up stations along these roads to refuel. Just completely impractical.
Right? It would be so much cheaper if we just used to the reinforcing steel to create thin tracks which we could put much more thermally efficient and eco-friendly wheels onto. In turn, we could carry exceptionally large loads of cargo or people over vast distances for a mere fraction of the cost (monetary) and a fraction of the cost (to the world) by creating long, highly aerodynamic vehicles capable of moving at ridiculously high speeds that would be uncontrollable for the average joe on the road.
Wait, haven’t I heard of something like this before?
But people want the freedom that comes with having a horse. Maybe if we could put horses on the tracks and hook them up to each other.
You can’t negociate unprepared natural terrain at 120kph in any kind of machine or animal
What about a salt flat?
It’s very difficult to maintain salt flat roads to everywhere. But yes, if we could take all of the economy, out of the environment and move it to a salt flat then we would not need asphalt paved roads. Also I suspect salt flat would deteriorate with heavy traffic.
What about a flying machine?
Then you are no longer negociating the terrain but the airspace

I once thought I saw a real horse. Turned out it was just a unicorn that lost its horn
I hear age can make you less horny.
Like can you even imagine?
It’s kinda weird that between unicorns, centaurs, giraffes, and horses, horses are the only made-up ones. Like come on, giraffes? Really? It’s a centaur with a dumb face, but instead of a chest and arms it’s just more neck?
Yeah, living with [email protected] is really tough…
God, this image is cool. Very NaissancE, if you’ve ever played that.
Is that the anime lady with the robots?
No, that’s NieR: Automata
Uh. I’m gonna guess no. Is there an anime lady with robots?
I think so
The streets weren’t a lot better when they were horse focused
The physical design was somewhat similar but if you look at old footage from cities you’ll see that walking on the street was completely normal.
There didn’t yet exist this idea that we have to leave 80% of the street exclusively for cars.
The pavement is nice though. I suppose stone roads were around but that seems like way more work than to just tread on boards during the muddy seasons.
That’s rape horse from Berserk
I didn’t clock it at first but yes exactly
Would you like to making colt BERSERKER
Equestrians are now free from menial labor and can focus on their Only Horse accounts.
Did you have to säy this shit
Hello, I am an internal combustion car. I can’t go very fast unless the road is all paved, or very far unless you spend billions bringing fuel from thousand of kilometers to feed me. And if you drive me, people will think you’re NOT gay!
if you drive me, people will think you’re NOT gay!
Time for me to get a horse.
Cars are just a scam made up by Big Horse to sell more horsepower without actually selling any horses
There are articles from before the automobile discussing the pollution problems with horses. Apparently horses poop, a lot.
They do, but it’s an easy fix. Just need a poop bag that catches it as it falls.
Imagine a human being able to shit without stopping movement at any time, into a portable bag of feces.
The mind shudders
Such person would be too free from the shackles of humanity
This cannot, it must not ever happen
this is called a colostomy bag but I think most users would disagree that dealing with the bag cleanup is worth the ability to shit on the go lol
And this is why trousers are the work of the devil.
Also the infrastructure for getting rid of those bags…
Or, have the Cleveland Cavaliers win the championship every year and have this guy around https://www.nj.com/knicks/2016/06/watch_cavs_fan_eats_horse_poop_at_championship_par.html
“WATCH:” ? It wants me to watch that?? 🤮
lol…i figured the URL would be enough for people to get the idea
Or, do what the nearby horse farm does, just head to my neighborhood and leave the horse shit all over the trail and the road and people’s yards!
Seems kind of rude to me, but what do I know.
At least that’s biodegradable

Fuck your Subaru I’ve a horse outside
Who cares what time it is, I have a Rolex.
Nobody drives in NYC there’s too much traffic
You can’t even eat your car if it died or if you are hungry!
“Horses Are Forever” is also the poorly received first draft of Sean Connery’s final Eon-produced James Bond movie.
And they might come with their own included “truck nuts”
Horses: proving that extra power comes with reliability and handling issues since 400 CE.
Can you milk your car while breeding a new one?
Time to try
this is almost definitely a married to the sea comic that someone removed the watermark on. why would someone do that?
Because it’s being used as pro-AI hype BS. No idea what it’s referencing here and now on lemmy where most people here are far less accepting of AI hype, but I’ve seen it used on the highly delusional Singularity subreddit. Usually followed by hundreds of comments from people making actual real-life plans for what they’re going to do when the “artificial super intelligence” makes them wealthy.
What are you going to do, just destroy an entire farrier industry? Think of the economy we can’t build roads to other cities when we need to take care of <insert things we can work on fixing today without ignoring new frontiers and technologies>.
