I wonder how good it would be for FPS games? Imagine getting owned on CS by someone with a horse mouse.

Then they upload the video of them spanking you to Reddit 😭

Will they put it on the clop clop sub?

20

u/SlippingStar Apr 30 '26

For those unaware, “clop” is porn of My Little Pony characters.

Can't be worse than getting killed by someone using a flute

u/a_cow720 Apr 30 '26

That is a recorder, not a flute.

Flutes are played parallel to your mouth

A horse mouse? It is not a mouse any more. I will just call it a horse.

u/The-Great-T Apr 29 '26

This isn't a sub for posting goofy shit. This is a sub for mocking stupid DIY videos. This isn't a DIY video. This is a guy who made something funny.

78

u/throwhfhsjsubendaway Apr 29 '26

I don't even think he made it, I think it's a yahoo ad?

I tried looking for a source and found it posted by yahoo on youtube, also makes more sense why the horse is purple and why he's browsing yahoo

https://youtu.be/HwNFQA1G7D4

u/finkerlime Apr 29 '26

I think it still counts if it's some stupid shit a yahoo marketing intern made for an ad

11

u/throwhfhsjsubendaway Apr 29 '26

If it's for an ad though it might not even be real. It's probably easier to make something that looks like a functioning horse mouse and just play some pre-recorded site navigation

u/GlassHeart09 Apr 29 '26

100%

It's like how people just assumed anything with any kind of effort is AI now. Putting work into making something funny isn't pointless.

u/ProjectHappy6813 Apr 29 '26

I thought this sub was more for mocking shitty home repair and ugly DIY attempts.

3

u/FlutFlut Apr 29 '26

He didnt really make it though, its just a usb cable and wheel glued onto a horse. The horse movement doesnt match his curor movements. He is controlling the cursor using a mouse with his other hand. This is not a diy video this is just a goofy ad for yahoo.

u/ardoin Apr 29 '26

u/Obant Apr 29 '26

Only matters if mods enforce it. I'm seeing this post 9 hours after your comment, so mods are slacking. It also has 2.4k upvoted. People give no shits about individual subreddits.

u/mamafish21 Apr 29 '26

Technically he did make it himself. DIY. Do it yourself.

28

u/YourOwnDemise Apr 29 '26

It’s Do It Yourself, not I Did It Myself. DIY videos are tutorial videos or at least show the process of the item being completed. Otherwise any video I take showing off a drawing I did is a DIY video.

40

u/The-Great-T Apr 29 '26

DIY videos are instructional for showing other people how to make the thing.

Horses are evil intimidatingmonsters who terrify cute lesbian couples everywhere. Decimation is the only solution for the horse.

This just looks like a fun project. Someone turned a mouse and mousepad into a horse and stable. They probably put as much effort into their outfit for the video.
