[weaponsofclairvoyance]

i hear your responses and i just wanna say obviously i usually tip at least 20 like im not an animal! but to be completely fair she did kill me 

[cheesepress-deactivated20191231]

youd think horses were one of those animals that has horrible health due to humans breeding unhealthy animals to achieve a certain look but no they really are just naturally that fucked up

[cheesepress-deactivated20191231]

horses’ lungs bleed when they run at a certain speed

[mesopelagic]

if their diet is too rich / low in selenium their hooves fall off

[cheesepress-deactivated20191231]

excuse me

[theonlyleftydesk]

The reason they have such poor health outcomes after breaking or otherwise injuring their legs is because their legs are actually hyper-specialized fingers; and as in human fingers, there is very little muscle supporting the bone, just a lot of cartilage and tendons and whatnot. You’d think an animal that literally evolved to run away to avoid being eaten would have ALSO evolved sturdier running appendages, but…

[sounddesignerjeans-deactivated2]

I fucking hate this post, it’s 1 AM I don’t want to know that horse legs are giant fucking fingers

[floozys-deactivated20180908]

wait so an accurate centaur would have two giant fingers instead of arms.. i’m gonna throw up

There are a number of genetic diseases that are prevalent in certain breeds due to humans selectively breeding, but owners and breeders are getting wiser about testing for them and acting accordingly. For instance, in American Quarter Horses there’s what is known as a “5 panel test” which tests for 5 genetic diseases (3 dominant, 2 recessive) that are prevalent in the breed. One of the recessive diseases is known as HERDA. In short, it causes a skin sensitivity that, in short, almost makes the skin just fall off. Really shitty. And it can be traced back to a single stallion that was an excellent producer of cutting horses.

But yeah, horses got the short end of the straw. Eat something they shouldn’t and they’ll colic and possibly die.

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

today i found out that victor hugo has had more sex than possibly almost any other human that has lived on this planet. 

he had so much sex his biographers straight up gave up trying to document all of his sexual partners. he was reported to fuck up to 3-9 times a day. He had a secret sex diary written in code. He had “official” and “unofficial” mistresses. One estimate was that he had ~200 sexual partners in two years. 

Icon. 

[lesmiserableslove]

don’t forget that on the day of his funeral all the brothels in Paris were closed because every single prostitute in the whole goddamn city was busy mourning him

[histry-buff-deactivated20170618]

Hey quick question what the fuck

[urulokid]

There’s probably a German compound word for that feeling you get at 2am when you’re single in your mid twenties and the creeping doubt that you’ve somehow missed your only chance at love because you didn’t meet someone in college and now it’s too late

The german word you are looking for is ‘Torschusspanik’

This has to be one of the funniest bits of internet commentary I’ve ever read

[the-equine-advocate]

It’s a sad week on the ranch. I’m still grieving Blitz’s death and have been crying myself to sleep and crying myself awake for days. The old stallion, who is pretty much the backbone stud of the breeding program, a multiple-time world champion, and the owner’s heart horse, has had cancer for a while and it’s his time to go tomorrow morning. In addition, the favorite of the yearlings has West Nile and is looking like she won’t make it. She’s so young and is trying so hard to stand and to live that it’s heartbreaking. 

Sometimes I hate life itself. Right now is one of those times.

[the-equine-advocate]

An update in case anybody is wondering-

The stallion was lain to rest. He’s buried right next to Blitz. The yearling ended up not having West Nile, but rather EPM. She tried so hard to make it but her nerves along her spinal cord were severed and she lost control of her hind legs. We rigged a sling on a skidsteer and tried to pick her up but she couldn’t stand. Her legs just kept shaking involuntarily. She had to be put down as well. I’ve decided that if I see a possum on the road when I’m driving I will do my best to kill it. 

I still haven’t found a way to revive Blitz. Half of me wants to get another dog but half of me tells me it’s a stupid idea. I couldn’t protect him even though I tried with everything I had. I don’t want this cloud that follows me around to take the life of another. 

My birthday is in a few days, but it’s been a while since that’s meant anything.

[omnybus]

Stu, let me ask you a question: how did you not realize until then that you had too many eggs? Nobody sells eggs in a big cloth-covered basket, so you must have done that yourself. That means you spent god-knows-how-long opening up twelve whole cartons of eggs, carefully placing each egg one-by-one inside a big basket, and then covering it with a big picnic cloth… and at no point- at no point- did you ever stop and think “gee, there might be TOO MANY FUCKING EGGS HERE”

You really have lost control of your life.
