Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

They will find all the apples.

The plan?

More oats.

The strategy?

Get the oats.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's a solid stratagy to complete the plan!

Oh fuck oh shit

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So why are we paying CEOs millions if we could just get a couple of these guys and pay them in hay and some outdoor time instead?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are you insane??? That's how you end up with horse CEOs with all the power, AND they know how to plan and stratagize??? Just look at Twitter/X, and tell me there's any stratagy going on. No planning. No intelligence.

And now you want to give horses the power, AND they can kick us in the head? And they have penis's that are bigger???

This is an insane plan! Clearly not thought of by a horse. A horse would know how to stratagize better.

As long as they walk on four legs we can tell them apart from the humans. Sounds like we should make some rules about animals not standing on two legs.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 7 points 2 years ago

"Four legs good, two legs bad", I like the ring of that. Definitely wouldn't set us up for issues down the line.

I don't know, I work with horses a lot, and have for many years. This isn't surprising at all. They are intelligent. Like humans, they have a variety of intelligence, a spectrum. I think that any human that has spent time with them, and has the ability to reflect, knows this. That's why they challenge us and also why they can be such great resources.

I attached an image of riding (I think)

Your username... Chefs kiss

[–] rhythmisaprancer@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

haha don't know what to say 🐴

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Agree, horses can be very intelligent. Good cowhorses are prized for the way they think and if they can outsmart cows, along with their athletic ability, so this doesn't surprise me at all either. I also think horses have a sense of humor and like little pranks.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I welcome our new horse overlords and will work as a slave in the sugar fields and apple orchards without complaint.

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And the horses will say they’re doing us a favour

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Do you think when the horses invent cars they can drive, they'll measure their engines in terms of manpower?

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Dangerous on both ends and crafty in the middle.

TIL Horses are plants. Devious, conniving plants at that.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Do the horses that work in the Medieval Times entertainment center/restaurants think they are actually in the medieval time period?

[–] ZealousSealion@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Human medieval times? No, don't be silly.

Horse medieval times? Now, that's another thing. Irrespective of whether they work or not, the horses I've spoken to are generally convinced they have entered the renaissance.

[–] dessimbelackis@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Re-neigh-sance was right there waiting for you!

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A user named Beaver posts an article from Plant Based News about horses strategizing.

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah these users have clear bias in their postings

I don't get it. If you can traverse obstacles you can plan and strategize. Why is this news?

[–] aviation_hydrated@infosec.pub -2 points 2 years ago

These studies and articles are so silly, it's always "animals and plants are smart, who would have thought!"
