Here is the salient point on the Wikipedia page that explains why horses don’t produce 1 HP:
Watt judged that the horse could pull with a force of 180 pounds-force (800 N)
Basically, Watts made up HP to sell his steam engine to mines and likely made up a number to make the new technology seem better.
Some things never change.
If we want to believe the evil alien theory, viruses might actually fit the bill better than plants, with fungi as a possible unlikely second.
Just use rm -rf and live on the edge.
You can’t really keep a foot in two shoes. Commit to one platform and post only three.
