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

In Italy we eat horses, so they are also farmed for food. I bet all the horses that end up on a slice of bread or a pizza would rather have pulled a carriage. Still they are a much less popular meat, I don’t think horse farming is as bad as, say, pig farming, (for the horse I mean) because there’s much less demand. “Frayed threads” (lack of better translation) of horse are pretty good with olive oil btw.
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
When your drunk, horse drives you home.
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.
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!“Urgh, to the bar again? Highly irregular… but oh well…”

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.
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
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.
That’s rape horse from Berserk
I didn’t clock it at first but yes exactly
Would you like to making colt BERSERKER
Cars are just a scam made up by Big Horse to sell more horsepower without actually selling any horses
It’s missing Kelly and the statue of liberty crying (tears of joy this time)
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
And they might come with their own included “truck nuts”
Horses: proving that extra power comes with reliability and handling issues since 400 CE.
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 flying machine?
Then you are no longer negociating the terrain but the airspace
What about a salt flat?
