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

You can't even eat your car if it died or if you are hungry!

Can you milk your car while breeding a new one?

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.

"Horses Are Forever" is also the poorly received first draft of Sean Connery's final Eon-produced James Bond movie.

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?

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 .

Just wait a few years and it'll come true.

What's the oldest serviceable horse breed?

this is almost definitely a married to the sea comic that someone removed the watermark on. why would someone do that?

Because it's being used as 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.

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.

Can anyone confirm whether this is true?

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

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.
