ngl it took me a second hahahah
This is brilliant. 👍 🤣
FSD failure
I recall that back in the horse and buggy days you could go out to a pub and get wasted. Then get in your wagon, pass out and the horse knows the way home.
Apparently it was a common gag to switch around your mates horses. They’d end up at each others houses.
how old are you to remember all that? and so clearly?
[insert Kenneth from 30 Rock being immortal joke here, but yall know Kenneth would never go to a pub]
Its stories passed down from elders.
If it wasn’t for all the horseshit everywhere that sounds like a simply superior system
I think we have that. It’s called Uber.
They said without the horseshit everywhere.
Some people do be treating the drivers like animals
A couple dozen billionaires to be specific.
I think this r/askhistorians answer is fascinating too.
Black Beauty, published 1877, has a paragraph complaining about drunk carriage drivers and how a friend was permanently injured by one. Single horse in a small town, probably no biggie. Team of horses, not so great.
Let that be a lesson. Don’t calligraphy and drive.
Lefty detected.
No, George ! Dario Brando didn’t save your life ! Don’t credit him with it !
why would a horse run amok just because the man is distracted?
or is it funny because the horse too got distracted by the writing?
i don’t get it
Run amok or not, I don’t understand how it got so sideways on that narrow bridge.
I think the joke is, it’s the 17th century equivalent of texting and driving.
But the 17th century self-driving function actually worked, though.

Horses can decide to panic though
Eh, the OS that drives autopilot could kernel panic.
This is deep
So is that horse and buggy, now
So what you’re saying is Elon needs to attach a horse to every Tesla to make them self-driving?
I thought that was obvious, but yes absolutely.
Horses are stupid, for some reason it got confused or disturbed, and because it lacked the control of the carriage driver, it took a wrong turn.
What’s so hard to understand about that?
Horses aren’t stupid. Many a drunken cowboy made it home safely thanks to his trusty steed. But! Cartoon horses are stupid, much like cartoon humans.
They are not without intelligence, but they are still stupid compared to humans. They are also easily scared, and when they are they behave erratically.
But I changed the text to omit that part completely. Because somehow it seems to offend people?
How did Charles even get the note from Jill? Did he purposely wait until he was driving to write his? How did he intend to send her his reply, was he perhaps driving over to her place to hand it over in person? Then why write it in the first place, and not just tell her!
I call shenanigans.
This documentary stinks
He had carrier pigeons in the carriage … Charles ain’t dumb or poor.
Yeah they called Wi and Fi.
Ohh, it’s supposed to be Jill. So my approach that the horse was simply homophobic doesn’t work anymore.
It wouldn’t, that’s part of the joke
It’s just a silly anachronistic texting while driving joke. Of course a horse wouldn’t ride off a bridge in real life when someone is writing a letter. But a car would if someone is texting.
