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
Buy my nfts then.
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.
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.
Can you milk your car while breeding a new one?
Time to try
“Hahaha” laughs in invasive species
Can anyone confirm whether this is true?
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
Would you like to making colt BERSERKER
I didn’t clock it at first but yes exactly
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>.
When your drunk, horse drives you home.
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…
This literally happened to my great grandfather in the late 1920s. He bought a car, got distracted by the sight of a pretty lady, and drove into a swamp. He was yelling “whoa! whoa!” and pulling back on the steering wheel while the car went off the road. That is what he had done his whole life to stop a horse drawn buggy in an emergency. He told my grandfather, who was riding with him at the time, that he could have the car if he could get it out of the swamp. He said he was going back to his horse and buggy because a horse wouldn’t have run off the road into a swamp no matter what he looked at. He continued to use a horse and buggy for all of his transportation needs until he died in the mid 1960s. #FuckCars
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.
Just wait a few years and it’ll come true.
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.
