This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I mean if you want any old horse and can transport it you can often get them for free. They're like pianos

does a horse not transport itself ?

Not in a way amenable to seal the deal a few cities across, unless you get a one way ride up there and you’re prepared to camp/hotel a few nights on the way back

Isn't that the point though. He's replacing his car with a horse because apparently a horse makes more sense in this guy's world.

If after buying the horse you have to use a vehicle to transport it, doesn't that invalidate the argument?

[–] villasv@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

I guess, we'd have to consult with the horse-pilled anon OP if he meant to replace absolutely all driving with horse riding, but I was assuming his take was mostly about day to day trips and not necessarily all trips.

I see, guess I didn't plan all the way through

Don't blame yourself, they just don't teach horses in school anymore

you can often get them for free

The maintenance cost of a "free" horse is anything but

Oh I'm not discounting that. Free pianos don't tend to be cheap either to get tuned, and that's if you can even tune them in the first place.
