racecar backwards is still racecar

Whoever names phobias was apparently kinda mean.

One problem with relying on unruly, skittish horses for transportation was that the animals sometimes bolted or reared unexpectedly. A slightly faulty harness could also spell disaster. Even dismounting a horse or carriage was dangerous; horse kicks have an average force of 2,000 pounds per square inch and an average speed of 200 miles per hour. One famous study found that, in the 19 years between 1875 and 1894, at least 280 highly trained Prussian cavalrymen died from horse kicks.

Tragic as so easily avoided with hobbles or more foreplay.

In base 2023 there has NEVER been any AD year with even 2 of the same digits since all the years so far have been single digits. Top that for uselessness!
