A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I read through all of these suggestions and up voted many. But even after reading all the others, yours still made me audibly chuckle.

I vote paintball with horse armor.

Also the markers are mounted on the horse, turning them into agile paint tanks.

That's just horsing around.

Ice hockey. I mean, ice polo. The fights would be wicked.

Bobsledding.

Math Olympiads (if the horses had to answer the questions, like Clever Hans).

Not horses, but there’s a version of bullfighting in japan which is basically just a couple of bulls pushing each other around. If all goes well, neither gets hurt.

Eta they call it bull sumo

Until dressage involves a backflip landing in the splits, they have a long way to go

acrobatics on horseback is most definitely a thing. and it's absolutely crazy the stunts they can pull off.

Donkey basketball is enough of a thing that I’ve seen it played multiple times with my own eyes.

Although it’s mostly for comedy rather than genuine sport.

That was a major annual fundraising event at my extremely rural high school.

Diving. No...wait...they did that already.

I agree. A good jousting tournament in place of traditional votes would be great. Put up or shut up.

[–] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Supermarket Sweep, insofar as that can be considered a sport.
