Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
(FoME)
Celestia had seen a great deal while on the throne, but nothing quite like Twilight Sparkle’s human counterpart. Though they were in Princess Twilight’s castle, the girl retained her usual form, though Celestia understood that the ears and forehead crystal were recent additions. Celestia couldn’t help but compare the girl to a minotaur, though the proportions were as off as the feet. “I must confess,” said the princess, “I wasn’t expecting to meet you quite like this.”
“Nor was I,” said the human Twilight as she filled a silvery container with water. Wires connected it to a bizarre assembly of crystals and circuitry. Twilight fiddled with switches and dials as she continued. “On the one hand, well, I still have hands. On the other, I was looking forward to getting some experience as another species.” She faced Celestia, apparently satisfied with her gadgetry for now. “But that’s not why we’re here.”
Celestia nodded. “Indeed it is not. You and Princess Twilight have been very enthusiastic about trade between our two worlds, but I fear that both sides may receive innovations that they aren’t ready to use wisely. This is an exciting time, yes, but we must not let eagerness overtake prudence. Perhaps—” She was interrupted by a mechanical pop. “What was that?”
Twilight smiled and lifted the now steaming container from its base. “This, Princess Celestia, is an electric kettle.”

Two weeks later, both Twilights looked at the smoldering remains of Canterlot palace's west wing.
"...Okay, so I know about electrical fires."
"Mmmhmm."
"And I can accept that magic can amplify fire."
"Yep."
"And, yes, it kind of makes sense that one of the cooks could overclock an electric kettle."
"It does."
"...But an entire wing of a marble palace?! AN ENTIRE WING?!"
"You're looking at it."
"I just... How?! HOW?!" Twilight stretched her hands wide. "It should have been contained to the kitchens, at most!"
"It should have," Twilight agreed.
"And, horrific as it sounds, you should have less property damage and more injured ponies! Maybe even a few dead ones!"
"I'm glad nopony died," the alicorn said, a hint of reproach in her voice.
"Me too, don't get me wrong, it's just... HOW?! The kitchens are in the east wing for crying out loud!"

Ah, but I think Celestia's chambers are in the WEST wing. You know, the sun sets in the west and all.

Let's do this collectively:
Very much so. Thankfully, since there's no ingrained societal expectation for her to fly, she isn't going to be so desperate as to strap fireworks to her back.
Pity the whalers, especially once the whales figure out the song that makes heads explode.
Summoning yourself can be likened to sticking your hand down your throat, grabbing your own anus, and pulling. Summoning an alternate version of yourself is far safer and potentially raunchier. Still, neither Twilight likes the other quite like that. The human one has eyes only for Sunset. And maybe Pinkie.
Swimming in the ocean
Causing a commo—
Wait, no, wrong spondee.
The ETSAB is working on bringing in trainers. It's hard to locate ponies who are both comfortable in balding ape form and with teaching themselves.
Masterweaver's portion was, yes.
Ah, but it rises in the east. You'd think she'd want southern exposure so as to see the whole arc. (Or northern exposure if they're south of the equator, assuming a spherical planet.)
How, my dear Twilight? Because magic is quite sadistic in the fractal nature of its effects, that's why!
*snickers* Overclocking always results in fire, don't you know?
I don't blame Sci Twi. I'd probably be doing the exact same thing.
The maker of the kettle isn't culpable for this because overclocking voids the warranty.
The kitchens are where people are careful about food prep.

The answer is easy...
Cartoon physics
Well, when physics just aren't behaving, there's usually only one culprit. Discord. Especially since there's no casualties. At this point in the timeline he would have enough awareness to evacuate ponies away from a catastrophic prank failure, or, as is likely the case here, move the catastrophe somewhere else.
