I didn't know daffodils were edible

They’re not and in fact are poisonous. Don’t take advice on that sort of thing from random webcomics.

Science to the rescue! So, it's a good thing that Pinkie failed.

Well......we don't know what pinkie's intentions were by eating poison...

Pinkie is a horse and doubtless has a different metabolism.

The question is why would she be eating fish.

Horses shouldn't eat them either, but it's OK for magical ponies, they have extra enzymes.

Everything is edible at least once.

What about a bridge? You didn't think about a bridge, did you? Bet you feel pretty dumb now.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why not? My grandfather had one of those in his mouth for years.

That's a long time to be eating one thing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

There are archea that eat rock. I'm sure they'd love to snack on a bridge.

Equestrian ponies canonically put them in sandwiches.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, you are thinking of daisy sandwiches. Which makes more sense. Since most daisies are not poisonous, some are even sometimes used in foods. Why this comic uses daffodils, I don't know...

Huh, well whaddayaknow, I stand corrected. That's a strange writing choice though, as I'm pretty sure daffodils are poisonous to equines as well...

Humans consume plenty of poisons recreationally, perhaps it's the same for ponies.
