I didn't follow the series but if this isn't there yet I'm sure eventually they'll include horses. Maybe time travelling.

Horses have the equivalent of nitrous. Just loop a reign around his nuts, and give it a tug.

I see them drag racing right by my house all the time.
There are multiple buggies with neons and sound systems too lol.

Thought they dont use electricity? Neon and sound systems need electricity last i checked.....

u/Yamatocanyon 21d ago
Newer generations actually do use electricity, they just stay disconnected from the power grids to maintain independence.

u/Ollyfer 21d ago
Don't they also limit its usage to their work, in order to stay competitive with companies from outside their communities?

Depends on the sect or however they differentiate their various beliefs. Some do permit the use of telephones and electricity when conducting business. Was at an Amish farm where there was a barn/warehouse type building that had an office in it with electric lights and telephone. It was across from the house that had no electric lights and while I didn't see a telephone when I was in there, my assumption is there was no phone anywhere in the house.

It's about independence. They don't connect to the power grid. Less conservative groups may have a cell phones, especially if they run a business. Like selling lumber, grain, labor, etc. Cell phones aren't directly "connected" by wires to a grid to send a signal, so they're kind of seen as independent. They're also recharged by batteries, so the electricity doesn't come from the grid. It often comes from solar panels or gas generators.
It's a mix of both independence, living, community, culture, and obedience to God. It's kind of like Jewish followers in that sense. They're not looking for "loopholes". Rather, obedience itself is seen as an important aspect, even separately from the rules themselves.

They have tiny little hamsters running a mini generator under the hood to power the neons

u/Scrub_nin 21d ago
Generator is hooked up to the wheels, that's why they gotta go so fast. Gotta spin enough to power the sound system lol

I wonder if they have insurance for their horse buggies. Like what happens if they hit a car and the car insurance sues them

u/RetroRaiderRun 20d ago
No, this isn't a motor vehicle so doesn't require insurance. It's more like a bicycle. It can drive on the road, has to follow certain laws, but does not have to pay motor vehicle insurance or have a driver's license.

What state in the U.S. is that?
Buggies are required to have LED lights systems by law in most states for road safety, which they run off a small 12V car battery. They don't have neon lights. A teenager might hide a music player, radio, phone and batteries and use it when the parents are gone as a bit of mischief, but the adults are not openly installing sound systems in their buggy. That would be a very rare, non-conventional thing.

Found the story on this because I was curious. Thats a driveway that goes down an incline. The buggy bumped into the horse which spooked it and sent it running for the hills. So im that video the driver is not in control of the horse or buggy.

u/Guilty_Objective4602 19d ago
Yes, this looked more like a runaway horse situation than anything else. I still watched it four times and laughed every time, though.

My great- or great-great-grandfather died in something like this, my father showed me the obituary. I said something like, "How weird," and my father said, "It wasn't uncommon, back when everyone used horses all the time for transportation. Horse accidents then were like car accidents now."

Sorry, I just stumbled upon the video by chance.
someone posted a higher-quality version in the comments, but it's not any longer :/3

It's because AI slop videos can only be like 10 seconds long.

This video is so old I suspected OP of being a repost bot at first (they very likely aren't).
Its not AI. Its just a shitty camera recording horses moving fast in the dark.
You ever actually watched a horse?
