i would bet that name is older than science, so can’t blame them
It's a very land-centric worldview

I’ve seen them irl and they don’t seem alive
The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 9 months ago
Really?
I only know them from cartoons, and they seem so lifelike there!

But which came first? The seahorse or the land horse? 🤔
The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 9 months ago
Land horse? You must mean the land seahorse.
Spliffman1@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Yes yes, thanks for the correction lol

Although I agree with the “land-centric” part, I do have to say that to be fair it does look like a horse in every part except the bottom.
The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 9 months ago
True. If it weren’t for the little curly fry at the bottom, it would look like a chess piece.

The bottom could be the giant horse penis. It's just a little too far forward.

It’d be more of a y-axis-oriented pig penis, would it not?

And a recursive centaur mermaid would just be a spiral
