A facebook group I'm in cycles through incomprehensible wildlife meme after meme, and that was trending for a while.
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

There's a really good collection of seabricks out by Seaview here, where I think they had a brick wharf/seawall at one time.
Actually, there's probably a decent number of penguins out that way, too. You can literally watch Korora come ashore by the dozen on the harbour islands at night.

Those drawings feel like the original cover art for Pratchett novels. Like someone wrote what they wanted on a napkin and the person doing the drawings lost their reading glasses.

The default state of a horse being 1 horsepower makes complete sense, and them being able to go at higher horsepower for short bursts also makes complete sense.
A horse can maintain 1 horsepower of output functionally indefinitely. 15 horsepower is only possible in short bursts.
For comparison? A healthy human can manage about 1.2 horsepower in bursts, and a tenth of that long term.
Horsepower is not a measurement, it's a calculated value from torque x RPM. So "15 horsepower in short bursts" just refers to a running horse instead of a walking horse. This is because a horse pulling faster creates higher RPM and higher RPM is higher horsepower. It doesn't mean the horse is "stronger" for short periods.
Just remember that half the people you meet are below average intelligence.

It's absolutely a measurement. It's a unit of power (work/time). 1 horsepower is approximately 740W (I'm averaging imperial and metric because of course there's a difference)

Yes, it is a unit of work. No, it is not something you can measure directly. It is neither the force you can measure from torque nor the speed (or more accurately, angular distance) you can measure from RPM.

Torque isn't relevant, only force is. Additionally, RPM is also just as much a calculation if you want to be that pedantic about things. (since you're actually measuring the angular distance and time and performing a calculation)

Sounds like ya'll are just talking about a horsepower of a different color here.
Whaddya mean what a horse can do a horse isnt a horse of course of course some horses are large and some are small a small horse is less powerful than a large horse that's just math
Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.

Don’t forget the spherical cows.

Frictionless spherical cows, very important
Emanating milk in an infinite vacuum, of course.
There are some very good, very dumb things in textbooks.
Goldmine right there.
I'm partial to this gem

AK is Alaska. AR is Arkansas.

Almost. Amazon would also prefer the horse to do that without food or water, but.

I fled those lands to avoid having to know this type of shit.
