Great, now I really want french toast... or just an omelette.

Fuck it's been so long since I had eggs.

How bout you just go look in its general direction and turn it into a gold mine or something. I’m sure you’ll figure it out if you put your mind to it.”

"Making gold with nuclear fusion might work, but the process has downsides... How much of the town do we really need?"

Same and I live on a farm.

You know...if earth ponies can grow crystals, they might also be able to grow ores. Wouldn't be far fetched to say that they could just outright replace mining rigs if they could just comb through the earth and ask it to produce gold from its depths...also, if earth ponies can grow magical crystals, like fanon sometimes likes to say, they might have a bit more leniency regarding their magic then you might think. Want to do a water spell, but you're not a unicorn? Just grow a water crystal and attach it to a stave! Flow your magic through it and blamo. Got an ice beam or something.

farm rocks. Whatever. How do they do it?

I always imagined as being similar to how you grow crystals. Didn't anyone make rock candy as a kid? You can do it with a lot of things besides sugar.

I love this story so far thank u on to next ch

As I know nuclear fusion can't cause an explosion since process simply stop when something doesn't work as intended. Also, fusing above iron require more energy than it produce, so you can't even make energy this way. The process stops even in stars at this point. They may turn into neutron stars after that, but not thanks to fusion.

Magic. (snort, snort)

I wouldnt mind this being a doctor/research slice if life, though I do still hope cure xianxia cultivates to godhood

Humans also have incredible stamina and endurance. Ancient humans when hunting big game would just chase them and keep chasing them untill they collapsed from exhaustion

Humans also perfect physique for throwing

Found this for you "biting would be a latch-ditch thing for humans." [last-ditch]. Don't you just love spellcheck!
love the story.

Well, I'm glad I noticed this story in the featured box and tracked it : ) so far it's looking pretty interesting and already subverting a bunch of genre tropes. Looking forward to the rest : )

Ponies might not even understand the idiom “last ditch,” given its martial roots. Maybe. Depends on whether trench warfare was ever a thing, with unicorns possibly able to act as field artillery in Ye Olden Dayes of Equestria.

That’s one of the funny things I’ve noticed about language since getting into these pony fic things, just how many things we say without even thinking about it that are either anthropomorphic references or related to our bloody history of organized mass murdering each other, that wouldn’t always parse to someone of exclusively Equestrian experience.

Cure gives a quick “you’re welcome” and takes his plate and empty cup to the counter by the sink. He heads out the back door to see if Audrey is out there yelling “FEED ME” already.

FEED ME, SEYMOUR!

Yeah, it would be odd if ponies used the word "manual" considering its roots go back to the Latin word "manuālis " - "Manu" meaning hand, with the suffix "-ālis" which turns the noun into an adjective, in this case, meaning "(something) that can be held in the hand."

There are neighbors a few hundred feet in either direction.

*hooves

ponies don't have feet
Griffin's have talons & paws
Minitor's have hands & hooves
Dragon's have claws
Hippogriff's have talons & hooves

Were do feet come in any of it zero zip nada that's were

In chapter 19: tree plants, Cure says 3 hooves is 1 foot.

Humans aren't exactly fast. What we do have is a lot of endurance.

Fun fact: how much horsepower a horse can output varies quite a lot. You need multiple smaller horse to get one horsepower while one large horse may produce more than one horsepower by itself, sometimes up to around 15 horsepower in very short bursts of effort.

“Uhh, actually we can just kind of “ask” the fruit to fall off the vines and stuff. You don’t need to really pick it all, ya know?” Cure asks.

Applejack would find this offensive since she already perfected her apple-bucking technique.

She looks over to Cure and adds, “though I’d absolutely love to have fresh berries whenever we want your sire is right, honey.

It feels like someone ate the end of one sentence and the beginning of another and then sneakily tried to combine the two.

When all ya gotta do is ask....
It's actually somewhat surprising he hasn't quite figured out magical kinesis. Thought he was working on that a few days ago....

Also, what the hell kind of grass is growing out there? Does grass in magical pony land somehow stop growing at just the right height? I’ve never seen a lawnmower in my life, but that lawn looks MANICURED… like some Homes & Gardens level shit or something. Where the hell are the dandelions, crabgrass, thistles, and all the other bullshit he had to deal with before? Ponies got it easy, man.

Either this was meant to be an uppercase "i", a "we", or the sentence was not supposed to be in italics.

"She and her brother could basically commune with their trees and the apples would just fall off the branches into their waiting baskets.”

Is he... is he inventing the methods the Apples will use in the future to harvest? DOES CURE INVENT APPLE BUCKING!?!?!? That is such a grandfather paradox.
but only if we assume the universe the show is based on is this one. If the universe the show is based on is a different one, where it just so happens to be 100 years in the future, then it isn't really a time travel thing? Maybe?

Beaming with a thousand watt smile,

I love that description, I've gotta remember that. Also,

Vines answers, “It just… worked."

🎼 IT JUST WORKS, IT JUST WORKS! LITTLE LIES, STUNNING SHOWS! PEOPLE BUY, MONEY FLOWS, IT JUST WOOORRRKS! 🎷

Thinking about this, Cure could publish all of his results in some kind of, magic scientific journal. Maybe with the period they're in, if you publish enough papers you get your Ph.D. by default, like in old-timey France! A 10 year old with a Ph.D... then he just needs his MD, and he's all set!
