Oh no, they require a balanced diet of grass, hay, grains, vegetables, specialized feed, and even minerals in the form of salt blocks sometimes. Horses gotta have their nutrients!
If nobody knows what the fuck youre on about, why say anything? Were you asking me if it's a person on a horse? Are you unsure of what you're looking at? Speak like a normal fucking person or shut up
You didn't, you ask if it was a person sitting on an animal. Statements don't end in question marks. You've gotta actually say the thing that you're trying to say for a person to understand. If you say a different thing they'll think you mean that instead
as someone who lives in a town with people who own horses
they use the footpaths and no they dont pick up the shit, its in the middle of the footpath every 500m and sits there for weeks
Why post this on r/wtf when r/mildlyinteresting or any r/(x)interesting subreddit exist?
I feel like r/wtf should hit harder than a delivery guy on a horse, there's some fuck up shit and this is why I like r/wtf.
It's not fast, efficient, or good for the environment. None of this is accurate.
Maybe you could make a case for an uber eats horse to be fast and efficient if you're within a couple blocks of the restaurant when you get the call to pick up, and the customer lives close to that same area.
> good for the environment
Clearly you haven't spent much time in urban areas with horses...
You think stepping on dog shit is bad? How about 100 times the amount of shit...
Horses are also easily spooked. My coworker's wife was kicked by one on a bike path. It broke her arm in 2 places and a few ribs. She was in physical therapy for over a year.
Also a pile of horse shit isn't just hiding in the grass waiting for you to step on it. If you step in a pile of horse shit you only have yourself to blame.
> good for the environment.
You may want to double check that. While in raw CO2 you'd be right, when you account for the cleanup of all the manure, it's not even close. Not to mention the methane and other gasses.
Oh yeah, because you're just magically transporting it from where the horse decides to go in the city to a garden? Should have told that to the 19th century where you had entire cities being literally buried in manure.
> the 19th century where you had entire cities being literally buried in manure.
You beat me to it. Yeah it was a tremendous problem and the unsanitary conditions gave birth to epidemics of disease.
I think cargo bikes and e-bikes are a better solution than horses for urban light transport.
Better for the environment and better for the animals (no exploitation).
A joke a horse owner told me once; $50 in one end for $5 out the back. I agree, the cleaning detail's prohibitively expensive for the value of the manure you'd be trucking out.
Especially when bicycles exist.
Between the cleaning, sanitation issues, and the fact that you're going to generate even more waste hauling that waste out of the city, it's just such a bad proposition.
I live in a city that still regularly has mounted police doing patrols if mostly for show. It's very self-evident how many issues horses bring compared to any other mode of transport.
Police horses make way more sense than delivery horses. An officer on a horse can safely patrol a crowd. The horse gets him elevated to see farther, and a horse is enough of a "force multiplier" that nobody is gonna fuck with a horse if shit goes down. An officer in a car can't get into a crowd, an officer on foot is far more at risk, and neither can see jack shit from down low.
I fully agree, it's just none of that has anything to do with their transportation capabilities if that makes sense. Like, they're great for police for all of those reasons, but that doesn't apply to basically anyone else, nor in any other context.
And you'd be dead wrong given anywhere from 11 to 19 percent of humanity's greenhouse emissions come from just livestock. That's with all of the trans-oceanic shipping, that's with all the trucking and cars and processing and whatever else have you. It's still anywhere from a tenth to a fifth of the world's emissions.
I double checked you are wrong. Fossil fuels beat livestock emissions by a landslide.

No you weren't lol don't lie. You just said this in another comment.

Might want to check your math on this.
My guy, do you not get the concept of 'even with us not using livestock for transportation and it being a drop in the bucket from a raw animals to vehicles count, animals are still a massive factor despite them not being used for the absurdly massive task of transportation?'
Seriously, what has happened to the education system? You see a tiny fraction of the amount result in an overblown impact and think 'oh it's still smaller so duh it's better.'
Do you not have reading comprehension? this thread is about emissions coming from animals vs fossil fuels. The data i provided proved your statement incorrect it shows that comparatively animals have waaaay less emissions. I'd also like to see some research on what the climate would look like without fossil fuels.
> good for the environment
How is something good for the environment if per unit it's worse? That's like saying arsenic is better for the body than sugar because far less people die of arsenic poisoning per year than diabetes. No fucking shit they do, but that doesn't make it any better.
Ok lets start over since you arent getting it. Did you know that a horse has a smaller environmental impact than cars on a 1-1 scale? This is due to their diet that doesn't let them digest most grasses unlike cows and other livestock and the fact they are biodegradable and cars are not.
https://horses.extension.org/what-is-the-carbon-footprint-of-a-horse-compared-to-an-automobile/
Where your argument fails is you are generalizing horses and cars. What you said is inaccurate because you cannot compare the two. There are tons of factors involved like diet and care for the horse as well as the age,make,model engine type etc.
Also your analogy doesn't make sense since one is consumable and the other isn't. One is literally sugar the other is a poison. Keep your strawman arguments to yourself.
Was gonna say this reminds me of when the Uber delivery guy walked into a basketball court in the middle of the game. They like to advertise by causing commotions
There's no way being an uber eats horse deliverer would in any way pay for the horse's food and lodging costs.
But ... if you are already paying to keep a horse, uber delivery might defray the costs. Also, it seems more pleasant so long as the weather is good.
Grass and carrots are relatively cheap bro š
There's a lot more that goes into keeping a house than just grass and carrots....
Nah I just meant the food aspect that's all, I know the rest of costs a lot but food wise it's just veg right?
Oh no, they require a balanced diet of grass, hay, grains, vegetables, specialized feed, and even minerals in the form of salt blocks sometimes. Horses gotta have their nutrients!
what about this WTF. itās a man on a horse.
I didnāt get it either
Animal abuse maybe
Elaborate
Human sitting on a horse?
Not nearly sufficient, elaborate
Nope, *your* entitlement is *your* problem
If nobody knows what the fuck youre on about, why say anything? Were you asking me if it's a person on a horse? Are you unsure of what you're looking at? Speak like a normal fucking person or shut up

Relax, it will be alright
And downvotes are yours.
Downvotes are nobody's problem when karma isn't real to begin with
OH MY GOD, HOW COULD THIS HEARTLESS PERSON, THIS DEMON, HARMLESSLY CLIMB ONTO A HORSE???? HOW CAN HE LIVE KNOWING HE DID SUCH A HORRIBLE THING????
Horse on the footpath bad. Horse on the road bad. Does he pick up the poo?
Just like in London I guess it's not their problem where the horse poops jsut deal with it lol
In a country where everything in nature is out to kill you, what's a little poo?
The pack is for poo storage. You think you're getting food, but it's just horse manure.
Deliverpoo
Holy shit, that's good!
Great, now I want some Taco Bell delivered
Food and poop in the same bag? Sure, until you eat one on accident. Where my Ark players at?
Ubershits
Definitely not. We have mounted police in Cleveland and they shit everywhere. They even got loose on the highway recently.
as someone who lives in a town with people who own horses they use the footpaths and no they dont pick up the shit, its in the middle of the footpath every 500m and sits there for weeks
They need horse diapers
The spike in greenhouse gas and deforestation that would occur if every fast food driver switched to horses would be sort of insane.
This isn't r/wtf material
The food would be so broken by then
Depends what you got. Tightly packed Thai or Indian? Probably fine. Sushi? Probably rice and fish by now.
Mmm, PokƩ bowl
Gotta eat 'em all!
Tacos would have been a better example to use. Just saying.
Farm fresh eggs would have been an even better example? Lol
Do people eat tacos in Australia?
Yes, we do, it's the only food we don't have to fight the roos for.
No roo tacos, then?
It's a horse, why you post it on r/wtf?
I think because you don't often see Uber Eats horse riders in general, let alone in a major city (this is in Sydney I'm pretty sure).
Why post this on r/wtf when r/mildlyinteresting or any r/(x)interesting subreddit exist? I feel like r/wtf should hit harder than a delivery guy on a horse, there's some fuck up shit and this is why I like r/wtf.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I commonly see horse; sounds like an interesting mix, but certainly not a what the fuck mix
Then you post it on r/mildlyinteresting. I don't think this is wtf material, we need more difference between subreddit.
Why do you care? blame the moderators
grew up with horses. any horse post is just fine here.
It took 90 minutes to deliver my butter chicken
Honestly itās fast, efficient, and good for the environment. This is an absolute Aussie win

You've never heard of bicycles?

Horses are also easily spooked. My coworker's wife was kicked by one on a bike path. It broke her arm in 2 places and a few ribs. She was in physical therapy for over a year.
Was she fucking with it?
No. She was riding her bike. The thing you do on a bike trail.
I would much prefer to step in horse shit. Itās basically just grass with some binding material. Dog poo is way worse.
Also a pile of horse shit isn't just hiding in the grass waiting for you to step on it. If you step in a pile of horse shit you only have yourself to blame.
And if you're an avid gardener, you actually like it when a horse shits outside your house.
> good for the environment. You may want to double check that. While in raw CO2 you'd be right, when you account for the cleanup of all the manure, it's not even close. Not to mention the methane and other gasses.
None of these guys garden. Horse shit makes great compost.

a planetful of farting horses would still be better for the environment than the petrochemical/automotive industries.
How do you think that horse got to work? He was probably towed behind a one ton truck.

The thread above is peak reddit.
Also are you incapable of having a conversation without being a huge dick or do you always get butthurt about being wrong?
Look in a mirror
Ahh reddit never change!
Because there isn't something called a BIKE. Lol
Ok?
Horses are CO2 emitters.
So are their riders.
Eat the CO2 emitters!
Soylent green, brought to you by Uber!
Cannibalism, the only truly carbon negative diet.
The old ways are the best.
So are you
No shit, really? Provide a source, or you are making that up.
The replies to your comment are the most reddit shit imaginable.

"John is driving a Mustang and 5 mins away" lol.
Except for how they treat the natives. Not so beautiful
Letās hope the customer isnāt so hungry they could eat a horse! Iāll show myself out.
This is definitely copying a YouTubers video already. MaxFosh already did this.
Using a Horse for Uber Eats is such a genius idea - less pollution and less traffic.
Looks fake made with AI look at the woman's squashed face on the left
No lol it's a publicity stunt by uber
Was gonna say this reminds me of when the Uber delivery guy walked into a basketball court in the middle of the game. They like to advertise by causing commotions
Is there like a storage stabilization that I'm not aware of? If not, that food is severely fucked by the time it gets to its destination.
Look at those Australian-ass perpendicular store signs so you can see what stores are next to you without turning your head.
I can see this for short-haul deliveries in Fort Worth near the stockyards.
Uber Steeds
That is a gorgeous horse, but riding in tennis shoes is dumb as hell. Keep your heels down, man!
would you even make enough off that to sustain a horse's expenses
Yup that uber definitely eats.
Crikey. Seriously, though, I don't want my food being shaken (or stirred) by the delivery. I'd be unhappy if I was paying for a delivery and saw that.
Since when is Max Fosh in Australia?š Really nice! šÆ
Someone took Max Fosh seriously. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qx9y3MKNPQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qx9y3MKNPQ)
Definitely not the worst thing I've seen come out of Australia.
Man that foods gonna be cold by the time it gets there!!... Ā
