Oh yeah, what if it was THIS horse?

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well, he DOES look pretty talented.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

To get that photographic level of precision, I would expect more something along the lines of a modern horse using an Image Generation AI coupled to a Natural Language Processor trained on horse sounds.

You mean a million monkeys typing randomly on a typewriter until they happen to write Shakespeare?

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 18 points 5 days ago (5 children)

Clearly a photograph of a horse-drawn bus from the 1890's would be black and white.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Colorized by AI

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

It's obviously a modern color photograph of an old black and white photograph from the 1890s.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 3 points 5 days ago

You raise a good point.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Silly, it's of rich people shit. They had color photography far before all the plebeians.

[–] Ferk@programming.dev 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

It might have been horse-drawn in the 1890s with color paint, and years later photographed with a modern camera.

And if you look at the reflection in the wood panelling, the photograph was clearly taken by a giant pigeon.

That particular omnibus seems to be a modern replica:

Some buses of the time period did have a similar multi-floor design. This one is from the 1880s:

As a side note, I’m skeptical that a shrimp could fry rice, or anything else for that matter, since they have pretty tiny hands and probably would have a great deal of trouble gripping cooking utensils or the handle of the pan

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 3 points 5 days ago

Yes, this is what's commonly known as a callback joke.

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 days ago

As God's own truth, the horse took brush in hoof and drew this bus.

[–] MyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I think you'll find the horse is being drawn by the bus.

"I'll be your french horse"

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 2 points 4 days ago

I don't think this bus could draw a horse either.

Or take a photograph of it, for that matter.

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 3 points 5 days ago

Swanky ride honestly

Equine Slop!

[–] SuluBeddu@feddit.it 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Is that a big pigeon shadow on the top?

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Hmmm... perhaps a pigeon took this photo?

The plot thickens.

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Has Ron ever looked inside a camera? Some of them have a few horsepower.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 2 points 5 days ago

Seems better in every way tbh

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Also one would expect to see a theme more interesting for horses - like, say, grass - in a drawing from a horse, though maybe this one could be more of a social critique, subtly alluding to the plight of enslaved horses.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 4 points 4 days ago

Believe me, the horses have already had their revenge.
