Man vs machine

We wouldn’t have been talking any of this if we were still in our horse and buggies.
Now I wonder if there's any alt-history stories where the internet and other modern things were developed but the internal combustion engine wasn't.

Considering I felt stupid just typing that the answer is probably: yes, and it's on tumblr

Mechanical parts in buggies can still pinch and maim. Back when we were riding dinosaurs, if they took a nip at you, you could at least turn them into a bronto-burger.

The Flintstones ate dinosaurs, kept one as a pet, and used them as appliances and heavy machinery. So when their dishwasher broke down, did they just eat it?

They probably buggered it for a bit before eating. The Flintstones only told half the story.

Hey, Dino probably wasn't the first pet they had that Fred didn't probably accidentally eat when he came home drunk from the bar one night and fucking Wilma didn't have anything in the fridge to eat.
