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

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…

When your drunk, horse drives you home.

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.
Buy my nfts then.
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
Sometimes I DO wish horses were real.
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 !horseblindness@lemmy.world is really tough…
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>.
Can anyone confirm whether this is true?
Can you milk your car while breeding a new one?
Time to try
Horse sellers were apparently shaking in their boots when automobiles were invented 😆
One car dealer still in operation today is Normandin, who started out selling horse-drawn carriages.
Smart business make a pivot to new technology.
Just wait a few years and it’ll come true.
Cars are just a scam made up by Big Horse to sell more horsepower without actually selling any horses
Horses, the original automatic braking
Yup, in that they were very good and would fling ppl to thier death.
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!
There are articles from before the automobile discussing the pollution problems with horses. Apparently horses poop, a lot.
At least that’s biodegradable
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

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.
Also the infrastructure for getting rid of those bags…
