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
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…
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?
You can’t negociate unprepared natural terrain at 120kph in any kind of machine or animal
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.
Equestrians are now free from menial labor and can focus on their Only Horse accounts.
