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?

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days 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 5 days 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!

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

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] 7 points 1 week 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] 5 points 1 week ago

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

I didn't know daffodils were edible

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

Everything is edible at least once.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days 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 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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

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

Equestrian ponies canonically put them in sandwiches.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days 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 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days 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 5 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

How not to parent.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week 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 1 week ago

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

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

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