Are ponies known for eating toxic flowers? I mean... It'd explain a lot... About them and their fandom...

What's up with bronies and furries remaking the exact same meme/joke but changing the characters?

Like, can't they make original ones instead?

There is an MLP community if you’re interested. It’s pretty dead, but I post there.

Shamelessly cross-posted.

Are bronies just a fad? I hope so.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

It depends on what it means to you. It's a really old franchise, and it's possible to be a fan of almost anything.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Hasn't the fad been going on since the 80s though?

How not to parent.

I didn't know daffodils were edible

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Pinkie is a horse and doubtless has a different metabolism.

The question is why would she be eating fish.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is a little too relatable, and how I felt the first few times I made sushi 😅

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

But then you made them right!

That's a positive life lesson :D

(Also: just apply a bit more pressure and make sure you keep on doing it up until the lowest point your nails can take, then simply roll it with your palms, squeeze it just a tiny bit et voila! Helped me at least)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

That’s true, I did roll sushi right eventually! Though since I don’t make sushi often, the first (and sometimes second) roll turns out not good before the muscle memory kicks in.

I also Appreciate the tip, kind stranger!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oddly not far off of my first attempt at makizushi back in like 2002/3. Minus the hooves and flowers, anyway.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Tryin' to act like those things on your limbs aren't hooves....pssshhhh!!!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Good gravy, they should have used an edible flower for this comic. Some day a kid is going to try to make this sushi and snuff it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

That looks just like my last sushi roll. And I don't even have hooves as an excuse.
