If there's one thing Twilight hates the most, it's stupidity, even if it's from one of her friends. Suffice to say, Twilight attempts to knock some sense into Rainbow Dash.
Warning: Contains really dumb Rainbow Dash.
Props go to NorrisThePony for helping me out with this one, and for letting me use a small excerpt of Awful Lot of Coffee.
I will certainly be reading this soon, as it looks very cute. I just noticed this:
Aren't those essentially the same verb? It just sounded off for her to be 'at least' doing the same thing.

Thanks.
I corrected it.

This is just like real life when people still think the earth is flat.
The Flat-Earthers
And the Flat Earthers Society.
Look them up.
Like just... wow
I don't think I've ever seen a rendition of Rainbow Dash this stupid before. She's not even this dumb in canon. But it's a well-written stupid, which makes it enjoyable in a WTF sort of way.
Aww, chubby little Woona.
Nice story, although I feel like it could have been explored a bit more. Maybe let Rainbow Dash figure it out for herself? I was actually hoping Twilight would knock some sense into her.
And you're cover art is so so cute!
7490358 Those people are evolutionary failures. Or just dumbasses. Either way the mention of them makes me want to bitch slap someone since their arguments work on the basis that they can make yours useless by saying, "That's just what you're supposed to think." Yes, you are. Because it's what's correct!! Or they just outright dismiss it. That's not how an argument works!! They only are tolerated like that by people under the age of 6!!

I'm honestly thinking about marking this story incomplete. I can always come up with more silliness.

Yeah, that would be awesome
"Juuuuuust gonna leave this here." *attaches note to the back of Rainbow's head*
"Not surprising since it's unfamiliar territory for her."
7490422 DO IT.
I'm not even sure if Rainbow Dash being an idiot is canon. I like the idea of having the stupid being beaten outta her, though. My disdain for her is quickly starting to evolve into hatred.

Isn't that supposed to be flat? Sorry if that sounded rude.
7490901
Lol that didn't sound rude at all. You just found a clumsy mistake of mine.
Thanks!
~Lunatone
There is another kind of Dash??! Huh, who knew?
7491687
Haha, I guess there is.

Technically in a race that thrives on intelligence dumbasses are kinda evolutionary failures if you think about it. Course the fact that morons also tend to reproduce at a higher rate does throw the question of whether or not dumbasses are evolutionary failures into a serious discussion. Of course said dumbasses themselves can't contribute much to the conversation, but still it is an interesting thought puzzle.
I've always had the head canon that Luna and Celestia just think they manipulate the heavenly bodies but are actually controlling time in relation to the position of the Earth/whatever planet they are on...
I now have the strong urge to hit someone in the face.
7491758 I mean depending on how you look at it. They're good for just keeping the population up, but bad for progress and they sort of slow it down. We have AIs right now, they're just mostly used in research and by the stock exchange. People could be crowd funding research on that or genetic modification that could be used to eradicate horrible diseases and push the human race forward, but instead they're doing it for celebrities!! The people who already have all the money they would ever need! Just... Why?!

Well... In modern language, it's kinda yes, kinda no. You can attempt to try something, and you can try to attempt something. It's weird I know, but hey.

Technically pushing AI work would allow us to do the genetic engineering. It would help calculate all the necessary information on top of leaving the door open for machine neural interface. AIs would really push that forward. But yeah, people are stupid. "A celebrity said that vaccines gave her child autism so vaccines are evil". Despite the fact that the kid didn't have autism, that is completely debunked by science, and now that people are vaccinating diseases that we almost got rid of are making a resurgence and killing children. I really find stupid people annoying.
7492867 Well technically they're right. Their children are less likely to be autistic because they're more likely to be dead. And I think a supercomputer could analyze someone entire genome encode the gene(s) to C.R.I.S.P.R. (This explains it better than I can.) and send it in.

You're welcome!
Rainbow Dash is even more smart than TFS Goku.
Welp.
I face-desked. But said face has a smile on it.
Good job.
This was hilarious. Have a like.
Eh, she's still smarter than Milo Stewart so it's fair game.
7499446
LOL
You did not just make that joke. LOOOOL
LeafyIsHere roasted that insane YouTuber.
Not going to lie, she is really fking dumb.
~Lunatone
7499526 She makes idiots like me look like Einsteins.
7499579
Nah, you're not dumb.
Don't put yourself down like that.

Thank you!

This is all easy to resolve. Just send Rainbow Dash to the moon. From there, she will be able to see the planet is round, and from its smaller size, will still be able to see that the moon is round as well.
This should be Rainbow Dash glanced down at her saddlebag, letting a monotonous sigh out as she looked over the bunch of rolled up maps poking out from the sack.
BEST STUPID FIC EVER!!!!!
stupidity wins! flawless victory!
woot!
The only thing missing was someone actually trying to hit her.
It's a good thing nobody in real life is that stupid.
In real life, people find things that can't be proven one way or another
...and concentrate their stupidity there.
7533091 what about the peiple that DO think the earth is flat... or hollow
7539107
Eh... Can't say. I've never met one.
If this is a prank, Rainbow Dash...it's fallen flat...
Needs a sequel with Twilight actually knocking the stupid out of her.

7533091 Tell that to Flat Earthers. Sure, I'd like to think that MOST of them are in the flat earth society for the lolz, but, well...some people are legitimately that stupid.
7490367
Well written stupid, yes.
But it still had me cringing as though I was watching that Wonderbolt Dash episode.
7490422
Oh... no.... Please no. Are you trying to kill us?
Lol, nice story. You done stupid good.
