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

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.
That’s just bolt cutters
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?
Giraffes aren’t made up? Your pulling my leg
Yeah, living with [email protected] is really tough…
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
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
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.
Yeah, but there are a lot of neglected emaciated horses from people that shouldn’t have horses.
Hey I’ve been searching for solid stats about this. Are you sure? Because there used to be a lot of hotses!
There are also a shitload more humans now. Even if number of horses per capita is lower, the fact that there are more people may compensate for that.
So there’s just going to be few humans per capita of AI in the future ?
Of course not. AI need a purpose, something to work for and take care of, and humans are needy little critters.
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
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.
Fuck your Subaru I’ve a horse outside
Who cares what time it is, I have a Rolex.

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…

“WATCH:” ? It wants me to watch that?? 🤮

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

Horses, the original automatic braking
Self driving, too, provided you want to go where the horse wants to go.
“Urgh, to the bar again? Highly irregular… but oh well…”
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.
If cars are better than horses, why do horses still exist? Checkmate evolutionist
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

You can’t even eat your car if it died or if you are hungry!

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…
