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.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 6 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I didn't know daffodils were edible

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] JayleneSlide@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Pinkie is a horse and doubtless has a different metabolism.

The question is why would she be eating fish.

[–] oldfart@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Equestrian ponies canonically put them in sandwiches.

[–] ArcaneGadget@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks 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...

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] ArcaneGadget@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks 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...

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

How not to parent.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] moonbunny@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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)

[–] moonbunny@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks 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!

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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