Pinkie seems to be the tallest, because when she stands next to the other mane cast, you can see that she's a few inches taller. |

in my headcanon, they are at perfect penis height |

that's alot of fancy mathematics there. |

Converted to metric, that's about 90cm (given that 99%+ of the world uses metric). |

^ergo just about perfect penis height :D |
| Erin #355627 11 months ago |
Ree: Then the rest of the world would actually say "A bit under a metre." |

That would put them roughly at ~5ft when standing on their hind legs. And screw your metric system, non-nonsensical imperial measurement for the win. |
| Anonymous #355678 11 months ago |
Yeah, Imperial rocks!!! They're about 3 feet, or 1 yard or...90 cm because for some reason we use that too? or about 0.?? of a mile because I have no fucking clue how long a mile is...is it like an acre? |

Americans... |

I get frustrated and begin to wonder why the hell America uses different crap than everyone else. :/ I live in america too. |

its fucking magic! |
| Anonymous #355712 11 months ago |
see we Americans use a different system because it'd be too hard to have our children learn and easier system and transition to that one even though we use both anyway so it wouldn't be that different |
| Anonymous #355713 11 months ago |
fuck *an not and (though you'd probably figure it out) |
| Anonymous #355716 11 months ago |
So using this system of measurement, can we also determine the heights of Bic Mac, the alicorns, the CMC, and Spike? |

yo dawg we heard you like mathematics so we put a question inside of a question so you can think while you think |

If you have a good and reasonable idea of how tall any single pony is, then any screenshot from the program that shows that pony standing next to another without distortions (caused by uncertain perspective, posture, or otherwise) will tell you how tall the other pony is. |
| Indiche #355779 11 months ago |
The US is just the hipster of nations. They have to use the imperial system, because the metric system is just too mainstream. |

Because all apples are exactly the same size. |

I love metric. I on'y have one issue with it. Its not universal. Once we land on Mars it will throw out all these calculations. |
| Anonymous #355827 11 months ago |
I've always thought of them being a meter tall myself, if only because it's an easy height to remember. |
| gasmaskangel #355928 11 months ago |
We actually tried to convert to metric once, back when Carter was president. It... ah... really didn't take. People tended to shoot down the metric speed limit signs.
I think it has less to do with Americans being stupid, and more to do with Americans fearing change. |
| Glamador #355970 11 months ago |
@Anon355805: No, not all apples are the same size. You can see he used two different apples to determine height in the picture. Find a few apples, determine a few average heights for different kinds, then find a height range. Simple.
This is only the beginning! |

if any europ want to know what would be
somethink like 1 m be |
| Anonymous #357155 11 months ago |
If you want to think of them as a meter tall you certainly can, as 40 in = 1.016 m, 1 m = 39.37 in, and 1 apple = 0.1 m is just as accurate. |
| Lancer #358941 11 months ago |
Britain switched from English to Imperial measure for a time after America became independent and before Britain went metric. America stayed with English, and does not and never has used Imperial measure.
I'll use whatever measurement system is best recognized by those with whom I work. At the moment, that's usually English units. Measuring in apples works, too. |

lol tape measure on rarity = 60" it would be hitting the floor if she was this small. |

So where is the picture of Rarity with her tape, Anon #364835? |

As clever as it is to use apples as a comparison, I don't think it's necessarily accurate. Thinking about it like an animator or layout artist, you could say that the apples are probably scaled up in size, so that they're easier to see on screen. Also, you won't have to put as many onscreen, so making them bigger than normal would save time.
I think the ponies need to be compared to a bunch of other stuff first, rather than JUST apples, and even then you may not get an accurate measurement, as so much liberty is taken with the art, and it's not all %100 accurate, for various reasons. Consider this: small zebras are about 5 feet tall, and unless Zecora is a mini-zebra, the ponies should be about that tall as well. Although even that is FAR from a sure-fire thing. Anyone who's seen the SpongeBob episode "Chimps Ahoy" will see what I'm talking about: the chimps are scaled down to the size of a squirrel, with no explanation, because practically, it just fit in the context of the story and was easier that way. One meter is VERY small for a horse: about as small as they come, and when they're that small they usually also have somewhat stubby legs and very plump looking bodies. In any case, Celestia is not a pony at all, but a fully sized horse, unless she's somehow under 58 inches tall at the withers. If they do have any set size (and they probably don't - I doubt Lauren was thinking of size to the inch), I was thinking they would be a bit bigger than that - around 4 feet tall seems like a more reasonable height - but who really knows. I think it's probably meant to be somewhat ambiguous, but that should stop us all from over-analyzing and trying to find their heights to the centimeter! XD Hmmm....now what else to compare them to.... |
