Typical. Here we are trying to outsource our work to foreign horses. It's all fun and games until the wheel stops spinning and we realize there are no typing jobs left for honest American horses, leaving our own ponies penniless.

Every once in a while I must succumb my natural aversion towards marketers and give a tip of the hat. This is definitely one of them. Absolutely brilliant and creative thinking!

Their previous spoof of Zuckerberg's Metaverse video was also great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enMwwQy_noI

Hahaha I had not seen that one either. Thanks a lot for sharing. That really made me laugh as well :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is the audio beyond fucked or is it just my machine?

That's what most people say the first time they hear it but if you give it time, Icelandic metal will grow on you, I promise :-D.

Icelandic audio always Bjorked.

Love this sort of thing. Makes me think about visiting Iceland haha

Iceland is amazing, I highly recommend a visit. If you can forgive the self-promotion, I wrote a "things I wish I'd known" post about visiting Iceland which might be of interest to anyone planning a trip there: https://blackshaw.substack.com/p/iceland

> We booked a hostel in Reykjavik for the whole trip. This was, without a doubt, the biggest mistake we made. It would have been a much better idea to drive around the whole island staying in a different place each night. (Iceland’s main highway goes around the edge of the country in a loop.)

This is what my wife and I did a couple of years ago and I highly recommend it. It took us 5 days to circumnavigate the country.

Weirdly I remember too many horse memes from old internet communities. uk.misc had a years-long habit of shouting "HORSE" after someone turned up trying to trace some Canadians who "moved to Burton-on-Trent and stole my HORSE". uk.music.folk would shout "HORSE" too, but for a different reason: whenever the old "ah but is this really folk music" argument was trotted out. It was a reference to Louis Armstrong's "all mu…

> 70mph highways in Britain being tagged with "horse=yes" because, yes, legally you were allowed to ride a horse on them.

To clarify: You aren't allowed to ride a horse on Britain's motorways (fast multi-lane roads mostly built in the latter half of the 20th century) but you would legally be allowed to ride a horse (and indeed to walk along as a pedestrian, although it's probably unwise) on the fastest possible non-motorways.

Most of Britains other roads are limited to 60mph or less. But a "dual carriageway" in which vehicles travelling in the opposite direction are separated from you by something rather more substantial than a line of paint (e.g. barriers or even a strip of ground with barriers either side) lifts that to 70mph the same as a motorway.
