This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

From what little I know about horses, almost all your time is spent trying to make sure they don't kill themselves. I can leave my vechile outside in the cold for weeks at a time and not have to think about it.

if you tie it up outside and leave it there and it dies it didn't kill itself

That makes horses relatable. I can't relate to being a non-sentient bundle of metal and glass and stuff, but I can relate to freezing to death and killing myself.

Horses win.

And, when it's no longer useful, you can eat your horse.

I mean it's not because they want to die. We're just talking about an animal that can die if it gets indigestion(the most common cause of death in domestic horses is colic). Some biological engineering points when it comes to horses are frankly quite bizarre when you compare them to ruminants.
