Horse carcasses therefore also had to be removed from the streets. The bodies were often leftto putrefy so the corpses could be more easily sawn into pieces for removal.
And horses could be used to pull platforms on 4 giant wooden wheels, that could cut carbon emissions too!
But drastically increase plop emissions
Interestingly, cars were seen as cleaner due to the lack of street poop.
Something Something full circle
The joke is people forget how bad and messy horse powered transportation was, not saying gas is great but not “oh god the shit” levels.

Cities must’ve been… fragrant places, for a lot of history.
Give it 50 years - we will be shocked we used to walk around in streets with 100s of 1000 of little gas burning engines coming past us.
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say - yes, you’re right, but it sounds like you’re trying to say that the kites on ships is not a good idea.
I think it was a joke about the silly reidea, but not sure where you got the take that it was a bad idea.
