Yes! I spent 20 months uh, just minutes looking for a variation on this exact image! Thank you!

When they're born, they're called foal slippers.

But just in general, horse hooves are amazing and so weird. It's literally if your middle finger was half your leg, and the nail was a huge wraparound thing. Then plus you grew extra keratin on your fingertip like a mega callus from birth. Because why not?

I've modded some small but active enough to need real coverage subs on reddit. It's a real job. People are too weird to self-moderate.

It was my first Lemmy love.

Han Solo - I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big light blur.

Wood frog - There's everything to see. The forest is beautiful and rich and vibrant, bursting with life. I love it.

Han Solo - You're gonna die here you know.

Wood frog - Han, WTF? I thought we were having a moment.

Horse feet are so strange. Actually, horse fingers and toes. Most of what you can the horse "leg" is what would be your finger.

With a big beefy nail that looks like horror when born, and smashes and rubs into place in their first day.

If they don't give you nightmares, you don't understand how they work.

I feel the same way about Linux distros.

There's something like 500+ actively updated distros. 39% (according to some random article from 2020) are used by less than 0.1% of users.

Y'all... Spend that time and energy other open source projects that need the help!

All us babies here smoking cigars and betting on horses like some Fediverse Baby Herman army.

Uh...I mean 225 backup plans! Yeah.

And 2 to 5 backup plans.

There's 2 separate universes here.

Devs and tech companies care only for UX, convenience, and reduced friction to use any service. They would put their granny's home address and SSN in the headers if it made a page load 10ms faster. Their incentives are all short-sighted to hit the next goal to outcompete other devs/companies and ship their end of history killer app that will solve all problems - and that will still get bloated and enshittified within 18 months.

Then there's us, a subset of rational people educated about how much data gets transmitted, who are horrified by the general state of being online, and are hard to impress when it comes to more than just saying "privacy!" when promoting anything at all.

IMO, we have to DIY and cobble together so much of our own protection, we're closer to artists that live a strange life that few people understand, seems weird from the outside, but we love for the peace of mind. Which is not enough to be any appreciable segment of the market to move the needle on any product worth real money.

Caffeine is the only positive codependent addiction ever recorded.

Yes, but no one checks the legality of cheap Chinese devices from Amazon.

Shodan.io is the searchable index of open IoT devices.

Change the default password, people!

Expert difficulty: it's also cold and raining outside. There's no food or coffee available once you get up, you have to go to the store.

"I lost the escape room, but I started a hunger strike to protest... I dunno, pick something for me."

Not me, but my spouse. I love all the rugs they pick, we always agree, but I can't match or really even understand the excitement.

But if it's shopping for food in an open green market, sign me the fuck up.

Yeah, I was going to list a lot of above knee-height clothing items and got lazy.

Indeed I did! Thanks

As long as there's 1 liter of ranch dressing per leaf of lettuce, Jesus will allow it.

Southern Baptists? I think you left out all their other usual targets: Catholics, spicy food, jazz, orgasms for fun, bright colors not associated with flags or maybe a football team, female orgasms, singing, alcohol, drag shows, salads with less than 51% mayonnaise content, men using umbrellas, single mothers, showing people kissing on TV or movies, Jews, Muslims, really any brown person, wasabi, mangoes, and aged cheese.
