~99% of horses are 1 horsepower, there's just one horse from Nevada who was locked in a barn during those nuclear tests in the 50's putting the others to shame.
in some European countries we have a special kind of horsepower that's called the "tax horsepower" (cheval fiscal, symbol CV in France), or "what kind of eldritch formula do we need to transform that unit into a vehicle classification tool for tax purposes".
We've had several formulas, and the current one has come around to being kind of an actual (rounded) power unit. Previous ones involved carbon dioxide levels, gearbox efficiency and whether you're using gasoline or diesel.
So if I am applying one of those, I believe a horse has exactly NaN CV.
I believe that bots already are sucked into honeypots, though mostly in an instance-dependent manner (and once one gets created on one instance, it can then propagate its content out to all).
This particular user still shows up because they are an annoying human.
I should make a website called "imadethis" that lets you upload any picture and it just does this and adds you as the creator. It would be really funny if someone stole this idea 👀
and cheapest corolla i can find (new, but 2025 model) is ~20350 gbp (~27300 usd), 2026 models start about 4300 gbp/5700 usd higher.
not sure what your taxes+fees are, but it suddenly doesn't look as such big difference. not sure if what you listed is cheapest that is available on a market there, i am sure you americans generally like bigger cars, but what i chose are really the cheapest (and therefor smallest) available cars on the local market.
They bought more of an amalgam, or a chimera, which is a different kind of mythological beast, but also a general term for part of one thing joined to a very different other thing.
A hybrid would be something like a mule: A cross between a male donkey and a female horse

So 1 horsepower or .5 horsepower?
atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works · 67 pts · 152d
Fun fact: On average, horses have 7 horsepower.

Can I blame inflation for this?

It's a really strong lock. It has to be.
Doug@piefed.social · 7 pts · 152d
Well it's better than ~99% of locks now.

IIRC, it's actually based on donkeys, or something like that. Basically, this is just misleading marketing once again.

Those of us who have them blocked will never know!
Oh right, the constant army of newly-created alts... (bc "no" just means "try harder" to some)

I mean it's literally machine learning. Every time it's blocked it learns that it was detected as human and then tries again.
Lemmy needs a shadow ban function for these accounts
OpenStars@piefed.social · 2 pts · 152d
Maybe, but the mere fact that Reddit has it predisposes me to shy away from that solution 🤣
Bc fuck spez!
(you might be correct though)
CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 151d
I find nothing wrong with stealing features from Reddit. Lemmy is a link aggregator, like Reddit.
Shadow banning shouldn't be used on humans who are annoying but would for spammers.
Unhelpful bots should be shadow banned if they keep evading bans

Would they have two sets of dongs also? Human dong in the front and horse dong in the back? Like some sort of dong mullet?
ok_effect@feddit.dk · 14 pts · 152d
The place where the human dong would be, seems to be horse-territory, so my guess would be no.

Isn't that slavery? Or is the centaur only selling rides?
NahMarcas@lemmy.ml · 9 pts · 152d
First we have to consider if apply the human rights to centaurs, if not is just pet/own relationship
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 152d
They are clearly stable strain beast men, so it's closer to indentured servitude. So slavery with extra steps.

you can't expect luxury limousine for that price, but that doesn't mean there are no cars in that segment.

well 23k usd is ~17k gbp.
and cheapest corolla i can find (new, but 2025 model) is ~20350 gbp (~27300 usd), 2026 models start about 4300 gbp/5700 usd higher.

If your centaur can giddy-up fast enough, you're technically qualified for the HOV lane.
