~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.

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

7
  • 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

IIRC, it's actually based on donkeys, or something like that. Basically, this is just misleading marketing once again.

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.

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

2

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.

Beep even had that new account now and made their own community for comics and the only role is no watermark lol.

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 👀

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.

They are clearly stable strain beast men, so it's closer to indentured servitude. So slavery with extra steps.

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.

well 23k usd is ~17k gbp.

and cheapest corolla i can find (new, but 2025 model) is ~20350 gbp (~27300 usd), 2026 models start about 4300 gbp/5700 usd higher.

not sure what your taxes+fees are, but it suddenly doesn't look as such big difference. not sure if what you listed is cheapest that is available on a market there, i am sure you americans generally like bigger cars, but what i chose are really the cheapest (and therefor smallest) available cars on the local market.

Technically zero emissions… just questionable horsepower 😂

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
