Can’t be a photo, they didn’t have colour photography in 1890.
Are you telling me a shrimp fried this rice?
And a chicken fried a chicken?
Actually that sorta makes sense.
yeah chickens are vile creatures
But do you know why horses can’t draw?
Because they have no thumbs to hold the pencil.
Why did the little girl fall off the swing?
Because she didn’t have any arms.
knock knock
who’s there
not the little girl
Where do you tap your oyster card?
You have to slide it through the horse’s buttcrack
I don’t believe that a single horse drew that. That would require at least two horses, if not three, to pull the weight of that and all its passengers.
Of course, one horse to use the brush and another horse to prep the paint.

Horses are probably the most intelligent animal in our planet: My cousin’s horse can do additions, if you ask two numbers it will stomp the ground to tell you the result.
It is often frighteningly accurate.
More or less accurate than ChatGPT?
Science says that artificial intelligence is many weeks away from ever reaching a horse’s intelligence. And maybe when AI reaches it, who’s to say that equine science might surpass it and be on a cat and mouse situation (or a robot and horse situation).
Horses are always learning, can AI say the same?
“AI” is always learning ah, how to put this gently, uh… “something or another” - that’s for sure! :-P
If you’re asking it to add numbers below 10 there’s an up to 5% of getting it right. And I doubt you’re asking it to add 9+9 so probably closer to 10% and above if you’re asking it to put, say, 4+4 together.
That said, I don’t think they’re dumb at all.
Out of animals their size, they’ve found a niche for sure and avoided becoming irrelevant for thousands of years (since ~3500 BCE).Horses, dogs and other animals that can “calculate” don’t even need to be lucky, let alone calculate. They’re used to work with humans, so they’ll notice subtle clues in their owners behaviour. They just stomp or bark or whatever until the human subconsciously changes his facial expression from excited to satisfied or whatever.
Exactly, horses have a keen nose for figuring out our innermost thoughts. That is why weak willed people can be easily scared by these fearsome equines.
i’m not weak willed, i’m just mad that every fucking other person has to clean their animal’s shit at the park, horse owners/riders just leave it where it falls. it’s irresponsible and i don’t know a single horse rider/owner who takes proper care of their poop.
Very good point. At least dogs recognize human expressions, but I don’t know if horses have developed as deep an evolutionary bond as that.
Well, if we didn’t have horses, how else could we tell how fast can a car go? By cat power? Haha, clearly our world turns around, or let me say, the world trots around thanks to our equine friends.
We should be just careful of who is riding who.
Not to derail your point, but growing up in Australia, we would mostly use kW. Like, it’s a 200kw engine instead of saying a 270hp engine.
Seeing as how America still measures things in foot, I think the measurement for horsepower would probably be “manpower”, as weak as that is. Or maybe dogpower? I know first nation people used dogs as sled animals, and that’s pretty much universal - except for Oceania.
uh, statesia uses horses. sensible places use (kilo)watts.
its real actually.
AI image fake. Notice how every window is a portal to a different world. The pavement texture changes at the wheel in the middle of the image. AI image generation is bad at having consistant backgrounds when occluded by something in the foreground.Also mega anachronistic.I don’t think it is. Searching for it just now, I’m seeing posts from 5 years ago, and AI wasn’t able to generate stuff like this then. I also found an alternative angle. It looks like a genuine restoration project.
Also, why would you make it up? We do literally have photos from these things being in active use in our history books. Here is an example from my hometown although it’s not the exact same model obviously.
The link goes somewhere that does not use that The victor tramway didn’t use this.
Its a Coyaltix carriage. They build horsedrawn carriages in Australia to this day.
