Over a long enough distance, men can outrun a horse. Especially in heat.

Ooooh! I've got a thing for this:

My friend runs it each year. His pictures are nuts

Who’s in heat, the horse or the man?

I don't like where this is going, but I approve it.

Wherever it's going, we can measure it in Hands.

I put on my harness and horse-ears hat...

Are you the mightiest horserer of the lands

[–] Miller@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Whoever is chasing.

Have you ever tried running with a boner? You wear out quickly.

What is that black ball that falls on the right side?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 1 points 20 hours ago

That's weird, I have no idea. I didn't see it on my phone screen, but yeah I see it now on my laptop.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think the bigger question is why the man is running after a horse in heat. That is not how you make a centaur.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 16 points 1 day ago

not with that attitude

[–] morto@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago

But with a horse brain?

[–] ssladam@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Practically, better described as endurance, although technically correct.
