It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

To be fair, poop from herbivores isn't as much of a health issue as poop from omnivores and carnivores. And it also doesn't smell as bad, IMO.

Sure, but do you want to ride through it or step in it? Either way, you're dealing with shit. Everyone should have to clean up after themselves. Even humans are supposed to pack out their own shit when they go hiking or camping.

Out the three options mentioned so far, horse would bother me the least. Depending on the situation it might not bother me at all, honestly.

You city folk are too sensitive.

You're asking me if I want to step in horse poop? Sorry, I thought that was rhetorical. Of course not, but as I just explained, I also don't find it offensive. It's just not a big deal, unless I'm wearing nice shoes and pants.

Huge difference in time to fall apart/be absorbed into the earth.

good for you, keep it to yourself.

What? Most people seem to agree that horse poop isn't nearly as offensive as dog. In my experience, the only people who disagree are from the suburbs and have never been around horses or horse poop.

[–] mojofrododojo 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

horse shit and cow shit do smell. fuck you, I grew up around stockyards, acting like it doesn't smell is ridiculous.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I never said it doesn't smell. I said the smell isn't offensive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's not as offensive, but it is still offensive.

I don't think having to navigate shit on a trail is subjective. Nobody wants to do it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

This is a great example of what OP was describing in their last paragraph:

There's always someone bitching (justifiably or not) about someone else's conveyance. Motorcyclists are universally loathed, but they're not much worse than electric trail bikes, which are not much worse than electric mountain bikes, which are not much worse than mountain bikes... it really seems to boil down only to whether or not it's your hobby.

[–] mojofrododojo 0 points 1 week ago

you're clearly decided on it. trust me, some other people find it unpleasant.

[–] mojofrododojo -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I said the smell isn’t offensive.

just say you like the smell of horse shit mate.

you do you, but don't try to sell me a load of BULLSHIT that horse shit doesn't smell. lol.

Then you try to front like "well if you EVER SMELLED it you'd find it lovely"

that's the shit that really sticks out. That's some goofy ass garbage.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I honestly never realized people felt this strongly about literal horse shit. Not just you, but other commenters too. Blows my mind.

[–] mojofrododojo -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Blows my mind.

dunno what to say about people finding the smell of shit unpleasant. you realize this was like, a big deal, about a 120 years ago when cars became a thing right? People were happy to no longer have to dodge turds in the streets?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You come across as really angry and bitter. Did someone make you eat horseshit as a kid? 😂

I like a faint smell of horse or cowshit, it's very countryside

[–] mojofrododojo -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

haha I really like horses, I'm just not so delusional that I think people in general like the smell of horse shit. or anything's shit. Have you ever been in a stable?

I mean I think it's pretty bold on your part to assume the masses like the smell of shit. Even horse shit, which is I guess better than human shit sure, but damn. And cow shit too.

Angry and bitter because I don't huff cow chips. wow. People on the internet are hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah I see! So angry you didn't notice the username was different!

I'm off to snort a line of dried pigshit just to irk you

[–] mojofrododojo 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

no I noticed you're a different shitfan than the last shitfan.

you guys go to a club to huff the stuff huh? good you have a hobby I guess. it doesn't irk me, I'm glad you have something in your life besides advocating for the smell of horse shit.

Sounds like you need to go touch some grass.
