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
When your drunk, horse drives you home.
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.
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.
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?
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
That’s rape horse from Berserk
I didn’t clock it at first but yes exactly
Equestrians are now free from menial labor and can focus on their Only Horse accounts.
Did you have to säy this shit
Fun fact, there are more domesticated horses now then there were at the hight of horses being used as transportation. I found this out when a reporter asked Jay Leno, an avid classic car collector, if he was upset about the CA law that makes only EVs legal to sell as new cars in CA by a certain date. He said he totally approved of the measure, and that there was nothing to worry about for classic car collectors, and citing horse ownership rates.
You sure about that? I found this graph [Source] for population of farm based horses.
They only look at US based horses, but according to World Population Review the US are the top owners of horses, having 18% of them
Yeah, but there are a lot of neglected emaciated horses from people that shouldn’t have horses.
Cars are just a scam made up by Big Horse to sell more horsepower without actually selling any horses
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.
Horses, the original automatic braking
Self driving, too, provided you want to go where the horse wants to go.
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!
Yup, in that they were very good and would fling ppl to thier death.
Bro there is LITERALLY an anime about horse girls
Humanity won
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.
They have god-damned tails and superhuman strength for some reason
We won, but at what cost?
Mr. Hands enters the chat…
You can’t even eat your car if it died or if you are hungry!
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>.
