14 points is kind of beating a dead horse
PanNonOpticon
15 Suing the horse for being dead, preventing the purchace of a live horse to replace the dead horse.
Purkitten
So true..
RVME
How did our government turn into this joke?

It's all well and good for an exit strategy, but does north Dakota Indians said anything about how to pick or think about the right horse?
Jaqdakloun
Um...are y'all gonna eat that dead horse ?
Isorikk
Ironically riding that dead horse idea of wrapping text around the image instead of moving it below
nibbley
'tribal wisdom' gonna need a source for that bruh

For a moment I thought I was back on Facebook.
BlackDragoness
That was funny. And sad.

I love that fatass raccoon.

14 is the most popular strategy I've seen

Anyone deep in an MLM needs to read this....

I just wish that something being perceived as a dead horse was correlated with actually being one.
MyPowerLiesInMyBookshelf
It would certainly make life simpler
Biggyshwarts
What's the theory?
StrangerRangerDanger
Declaring the horse as "too big to die" and insistently tossing money on it.
MeCrowPotato
An oldie, but a goodie
sordatos
So they should drop government, education and business?
jdasler
Something something.. your mother.
applesforjuice
No it's saying we should fire the teachers when the kids aren't smart
3Davideo
Or cutting the horse's life insurance benefits to encourage it to no longer be dead.

Quality work as always congress. Stay classy.

The real answer is simple: The horse was made with planned obsolescence in mind to force you to keep buying new horses.

It's something Imgur does constantly, but people on Imgur try and make jokes using the previous generations format for it.

Don't worry we'll forward it to you

Surprising no one had paged the expert @ElbowDeepInAHorse to weigh in on this subject.
Kyrorayne
Because dead horses aren't her expertise. She likes virile warm ones
theusernameformerlyknownastildo
Mainly curious if they have the ability to determine when a horse is in fact, no longer virile and warm.

Sunk cost fallacy
Ghlargh
But... We paid 100 for this, of course it's worth renovating it for 1000 rather than buying a new better one for 200!
penzick
Ugh. My boss could be the poster child for this. Makes me crazy.

Very applicable to life to, more often than not
ThePastmaster
*Googles* Fascinating.

People need to learn this applies to relationships. Got a buddy who's got a partner that has dragged him on for 8 years, still dragging /
tyger87
Because he doesn't want to start over with someone new.

tossabeertoyourwitcher
Have you tried quantifying value to the separate aspects? You must have created value while flogging the dead horse, try to separate that
tossabeertoyourwitcher
value from the sunk cost. At worst, the quantified assessment will give credit to your argument
Ghlargh
Don't yell too loud if you're part of the sunk cost.

I rewrote this comment 6 times and I don't even know what I was gonna say anymore but it felt bad to just leave it blank.

As a Lakota I’ve never seen this! Thanks for sharing!
NotACanadian
Is that an actual phrase? I operate under the assumption that it's just a bland polemic that attributes a phrase to "The Indians"...
ILoveCreamPies
It specifically refers to the tribes that lives in the Dakotas, mainly Sioux. My tribe is in South Dakota.
ILoveCreamPies
I see what you mean now. I looked into it voa Google and can only find and article from The Guardian and a wordpress claiming it’s a saying
ILoveCreamPies
from the Dakotas, so someone could just as easily have made that up just to try and give their meme some sort of weight.
NotACanadian
Yeah, that happens pretty often. I find it highly unlikely that *any* "Old Indian proverbs" got out to people who aren't Native.

Can't wait for this meme to evolve even further, to people seeing news of failing business and commenting with -

"should have taken parenting lessons from that guy's dad", and everybody understanding the joke.
