The train ponies use the engine to store their drinking water. |

Hahahah.
Nice. I've actually been thinking about this for a week: it just makes too much sense. Much of the things they do are designed too much for a human: at best it's impractical, at worst it's actually detrimental they have things like that. And then the whole saddles thing? As a result my favorite theory is that, after the human race is gone, when horses gained intelligence and offshot into the pastel equines we see before us, they emulated the race that came before them. I know it's ridiculous: I just love this idea the most. |

Ponies are in fact uplifted by humans messing around |

I just thought that maybe the engine acts as a sort of booster, as well as a giant wistle. |

I thought the ponies WERE the remains of a human or humanoid civilization that went a little too far into nanotech and genetic modification--people cosmetically modified themselves to look cuter, and with tech indistinguishable from magic, there was no more need for hands when you can just float things with "magic".
At some point, their sun went red giant, and they had to move away and create an artificial sun. That plus their original moon are what Celestia and Luna are caretakers of, which explains how Luna made the night eternal--she just hit the dimmer switch on the sun so it looked just like the moon. Ponies in this era have almost no memory of the species they once were; they manage their ecosystem by methods that seem "magic" to them rather than known technology, to the point where the Everfree Forest, where natural processes proceed, is horrifyingly alien. When they discover rusting hulks of things like trains and ask an ancient pony like Celestia what it's for, she tells them "transportation" and they put together a replica, but don't understand the steam engine so they just pull it with horsepower. |

I've felt the same way as Anon14 before seeing this as well. The idea of the sun and moon themselves actually under the control of individuals does imply Equestria is not a planet or part of one, but rather some artificial environment like in Halo or Dark City. However it reminded me more of another series. SPOILER ALERT FOR ANOTHER ANIMATED SERIES SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER .. etc. There's a show called Utawarerumono aka "The One Being Sung" that takes place in what looks like feudal japan but everyone has tails and ears like furries and instead of horses they ride tiny Taun-Taun-like dinosaurs. In the last few episdoes you find out it's earth in the distant future when we've poisoned it with so many chemicals and radiation that it's unlivable, so humanity has created various human/animal hybrids that can repopulate the surface.
It's fun to speculate what world this is they live in, and when, and where, and how it came to be. I think when Pinkie Pie said "and that's how Equestria was Made" it was Faust's way of saying "Yes i know you're dying to find out how this crazy environment came to be, and maybe one day I'll tell you" I can't wait to find out. |

I wonder how ponies who questions things like this. |

^ oops I mean what happens to ponies who question things like this. |
| MuffinHunterX #32771 1 year ago |
Same thing that happens to humans, they're either hailed as prophets, toosed in a loony bin or killed by fanatics that claim they are heretics.
Sometimes all three. |
| Emradrig #143038 1 year ago |
Well there are humanoid races like the diamond dogs, perhaps they or some other race were the first to design such tools.
Dragons are bipedal until they reach a certain age, my theory is they're the ones who patented hammers and cups. |
