We used to have earbuds that don’t need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn’t get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k

      Well, youre mostly right about cars, but mostly because we decided to ignore certain costs (climate change).

        Assuming that they also scaled equally, horses have their own emissions which would cause just as many problems.

        And not in the “fart smelly” way. Methane production from animal forms is a huge contributor to green house gasses. Now imagine every house has a horse.

          But thats fine, because horses dont run on sequestered carbon.

          I’m not saying I want us to switch to horses. I would rather we switch to bikes, but we really dont conceptualize the full cost of cars.

              Horses do not need carbon sources which have been out of circulation for millions of years.

              Except mine. It drinks kerosene and is fed coal in the morning and peat in the evening.
