In 300 clops, turn right, then you will dismount at your destination

Somebody has to write this comment, so it might as well be me. A horse has up to 15 horsepower.

Bonus fact: In polish we call a horsepower unit a "mechanical horse".

But sustained at 1hp when averaged over 24 hours. They are capable of peaks.

They are capable of peaks

Damn, horses outgunning us

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Humans are capable of “peaks” too. We can’t exert our full power for a sustainable hour either.

When considering human-powered equipment, a healthy human can produce about 1.2 hp (0.89 kW)briefly (see orders of magnitude) and sustain about 0.1 hp (0.07 kW) indefinitely;

But yeah, horses outclass us anyways.

[–] whimsy@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

True that. But it was an attempt at humour because life seems to go just downhill without very many peaks

I wonder if you could teach the horse to respond to vibration and/or sound cues for left/right/forward/stop. Safest full self driving mode yet.

"In 500 feet, wohhhh"

Umm actually, to rain on your parade, driverless subways are the safest self driving mode, because the literally don't share their path with anybody else!

...don’t share their path with anybody else!

Sometimes they do but not for very long.

JJBA moment

I think Horses are generally between 3 and 7 horsepower, which is pretty confusing NGL.

[–] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Need to put it before the horse's head?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Put de cart before de horse.
