    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, it’s a centaur with a dumb face, but instead of a chest and arms it’s just more neck?

  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.

    The streets weren’t a lot better when they were horse focused

    source

    • ECB@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      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.

  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.

    Hey I’ve been searching for solid stats about this. Are you sure? Because there used to be a lot of hotses!

    source

    • BorgDrone@lemmy.one ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      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.

    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

  There are articles from before the automobile discussing the pollution problems with horses. Apparently horses poop, a lot.

    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

  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

    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.

  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.

    Because it’s pro-AI hype BS. No idea what it’s referencing here and now on lemmy where most people here are far less accepting of AI hype, but I’ve seen it used on the highly delusional Singularity subreddit. Usually followed by hundreds of comments from people making actual real-life plans for what they’re going to do when the “artificial super intelligence” makes them wealthy.
