Editing Talk:1720: Horses

Except, no one really worries about drunk drivers driving into a tree. If that happens, I'd say its all good, servers them right... The real problem is drunk drivers running into other drivers, pedestrians, property, etc. And even back in the days of horses and carriages, when forced to go at full gallop the horses would not be able to prevent such mistakes.

:I wouldn't say it serves them right. We have no idea why the drunk driver is behind the wheel. They could easily be an alcoholic who was never given adequate treatment. We can't be judgemental about these things. A drunk driver's death is just as tragic as a sober driver's death.

A horse is a low tech version of KARR. Surely we want a KITT?

"A badly-driven horse can toss-off its owner"... *fnar fnar*.  Perhaps "throw off" or "buck" would mesh less easily with the remnants of immature adolescent brain that I still possess? [[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.75|141.101.98.75]] 14:12, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

;White Hat -- salesman or owner?

I personally think white hat is a salesman because in the title text a different car is described.  It could be a different person describing it, or that white hat owns multiple cars (though given his friendship with black hat, this seems unlikely).  I further think that the incomplete tag should be either removed or moved to the transcript section, and a note made in the article.

: Being sexist, under normal circumstances my wife would rather watch Golf on TV than stand around being regaled by a proud car owner, so I'm voting for car salesman. :) [[User:RoyT|RoyT]] ([[User talk:RoyT|talk]]) 07:03, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
::I'm not sure he is a sales man. Megan could be a horse girl thus interested in the horse aspect. Also it could just as well be the same car in the title text, why could a car not be represented with these two lines: ''This baby has 200 horses under the hood and 3.5 in the computer'' -- and it has -- ''240% of a horse's decision-making ability and produces only 30% as much poop''. No reason to assume it is two cars. I guess this depends highly on what you thought of the first time you saw the comic? But I can easily imagine both that he brags about his own car or that he tries to sell this one (and maybe that it's another in the title text). Too bad Randall has stopped making transcripts when he releases comics. They sometimes get up later, but recently they have been up for the wrong comic... I have fixed the transcript so it is not assuming it is his car. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 13:45, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
Personally I think he's a salesman. But both alternatives seem plausible to me, so I vote for keeping it as it is and remove the tag. [[User:Elektrizikekswerk|Elektrizikekswerk]] ([[User talk:Elektrizikekswerk|talk]]) 13:29, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

;Example
Here is very recent example of the horse-powered argument https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC7_Hkf8wnA {{unsigned ip|172.68.17.176}}

Para 3: "A cars "poop" would be '''it's''' exhaust" should be "its" --[[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.84|141.101.98.84]] 11:40, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
:Just fix it, its (it's ;-) a wiki. Has been fixed now. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 13:45, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Note that current programmers are VERY far from making an AI as intelligent as horse. They currently struggle with making drones as good in avoiding obstacles as bees are. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 13:42, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Very similar to an old Dinosaur Comics, specifically the one from March 10, 2014:  http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=2588

Not sure being very close to decomposing manure and urine is less toxic (or carcinogenic) than breathing our relatively dispersed modern car exhaust. Would be a very difficult thing to quantify. Might we change in some way "Of course the amount of pollution created by the cars of the world makes them much more toxic both for humans breathing the exhaust fumes and on the larger scale with the climate."? {{unsigned|‎Jubal Harshaw}}

−	I'm removing the references to Randall as Ponytail for two reasons: 1) I haven't seen this done in previous comics, and 2) it's just a little weird having a guy playing a girl (this is not Shakespeare) --[[User:Ianrbibtitlht\|Ianrbibtitlht]] ([[User talk:Ianrbibtitlht\|talk]]) 04:16, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
