Self driving and won't run against a roadnunner fake tunnel

So 1 horsepower or .5 horsepower?
Fun fact: On average, horses have 7 horsepower.
Can I blame inflation for this?
~99% of horses are 1 horsepower, there's just one horse from Nevada who was locked in a barn during those nuclear tests in the 50's putting the others to shame.
It's a really strong lock. It has to be.
Well it's better than ~99% of locks now.
I mean… Technically, you can blame anything you want for anything.
Okay i'm going to need some help figuring out how to blame Obama for this though. I already got the cork boards and yarn ready
- Obama got elected in 2008
- the common abbreviation for the year 08
- Obama is the first black President
- 08 - 1 = 7
- average horse has 7 horsepower

got dammit i knew it
Jeeniouus!
in some European countries we have a special kind of horsepower that's called the "tax horsepower" (cheval fiscal, symbol CV in France), or "what kind of eldritch formula do we need to transform that unit into a vehicle classification tool for tax purposes".
We've had several formulas, and the current one has come around to being kind of an actual (rounded) power unit. Previous ones involved carbon dioxide levels, gearbox efficiency and whether you're using gasoline or diesel.
So if I am applying one of those, I believe a horse has exactly NaN CV.
okay how many horses does my hammer have

Centaurs have two rib cages
Would they have two sets of dongs also? Human dong in the front and horse dong in the back? Like some sort of dong mullet?
The place where the human dong would be, seems to be horse-territory, so my guess would be no.
This truly is the worst timeline.
This is a sentence I never thought I'd read.
The future is now, old man!
inb4 beep runs this through an ai slop machine and removes author attribution
Those of us who have them blocked will never know!
Oh right, the constant army of newly-created alts... (bc "no" just means "try harder" to some)
I mean it's literally machine learning. Every time it's blocked it learns that it was detected as human and then tries again.
Lemmy needs a shadow ban function for these accounts
Maybe, but the mere fact that Reddit has it predisposes me to shy away from that solution 🤣
Bc fuck spez!
(you might be correct though)
I find nothing wrong with stealing features from Reddit. Lemmy is a link aggregator, like Reddit.
Shadow banning shouldn't be used on humans who are annoying but would for spammers.
Unhelpful bots should be shadow banned if they keep evading bans
I believe that bots already are sucked into honeypots, though mostly in an instance-dependent manner (and once one gets created on one instance, it can then propagate its content out to all).
This particular user still shows up because they are an annoying human.
I reported a few of their things these last few days. They got banned or had a ton removed.
Look at my totally original creation

I should make a website called "imadethis" that lets you upload any picture and it just does this and adds you as the creator. It would be really funny if someone stole this idea 👀
Isn't that slavery? Or is the centaur only selling rides?
First we have to consider if apply the human rights to centaurs, if not is just pet/own relationship
They are clearly stable strain beast men, so it's closer to indentured servitude. So slavery with extra steps.
At least 2 extra steps with the four legs.
This is such a stupid joke. It did make me laugh though so good job.
Either way, the guy should buy his ride a coffee or something.
imagine horse shit x coffee
£15,000 for a new car?
I wish
new cars on czech market, prices in gbp equivalent
- dacia sandero: ~12150
- hyundai i10: ~12600
- skoda fabia: ~13000
- kia ceed: ~13600
you can't expect luxury limousine for that price, but that doesn't mean there are no cars in that segment.
The BYD Atto 1 should be around that I think?
Not in the US 😞
Technically zero emissions… just questionable horsepower 😂
Zero emissions? Do centaurs never fart?
Hello.
Though I'm not taking you onto the HOV lane.
If your centaur can giddy-up fast enough, you're technically qualified for the HOV lane.
They bought more of an amalgam, or a chimera, which is a different kind of mythological beast, but also a general term for part of one thing joined to a very different other thing.
A hybrid would be something like a mule: A cross between a male donkey and a female horse

Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!

📋 Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.

❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
