The episode before this one was the wonderbolts one, Dash did her creepy impressions of her friends.

@Pagan  
Refresh my memory, what did Dash do in “A Hearth’s Warming Tale” that was so cringey?

LOOKS LIKE IT’S SWEEPING TIME!!!!!!!!!

Somewhere Kenny Omega has a huge grin on his face and he doesn’t know why.

Twilight plays Minesweeper.

@Pagan  
Oh yeah, forgot about that. shudders

@rserp8  
Still not as cringy as what Rainbow did in the episode before this one.

@rserp8  
You are not the only one, me too.

Controversial opinion incoming!
 
I’m not the only one that cringed during this part, am I?

@Lucky Shot  
Don’t you start.  
And you should know damn well by now it’s not just for little girls, mlp is and always has been (except for that one generation we won’t speak of) for the whole family to enjoy.

Bronies are still taking a show for little girls too seriously, I see.

@Glimmy-Glam  
You must be thinking rather outside the box if you assumed or even considered that what i said meant she wants to get dirty  
There’s always, you know, context.  
-She’s a horse.  
-she’s a mud pony, so she uses her hooves or her mouth for pretty much everything.  
-She’d quite happily dive into a pool of mud (see Sisterhooves Social).  
Dirt, mud and the like simply don’t bother her, whether it’s just on her hooves or caked over every square inch of her. It definitely would not bother her if she got a bit of it in her mouth.
 
Saying she actively enjoys eating dirt is something else entirely, that’s entering the fetish zone.
 
 
“I would not trust someone to sweep dust and dirt and cobwebs towards my face”  
Applejack not trust her *friends? blasphemy.
 
“It would have been much SMARTER to have Twilight’s magic handle the pan and Applejack handle the broom”  
Lets go a step further and just let Twilight’s magic do everything, since she’s got plenty of magic potential, she wouldn’t break a sweat handing a broom AND a pan.

@Glimmy-Glam  
what are you even on about? On second thought don’t answer that.

@Pagan  
It isn’t that obvious. It’s text and text doesn’t have tone. He was stating a fact that seemed to disregard Applejack’s feelings simply because she’s a farmer. Yes, farmers get down and dirty, I know that life, but that doesn’t mean they WANT to. It’s different getting dirt and cobwebs in your mouth than getting your jeans covered in manure. The latter is more filthy, but I rather do that because it’s not as unpleasant a feeling.
 
To make something obvious, one must go beyond the obvious and make it hyperbolic. Otherwise it is up for several interpretations. If he was going for humor saying: “Mud ponies need mud in their mouths” would have been better. Yes, I DO agree, filthy earth ponies should taste the dirt that they come from. You are what you eat, am I right??!?1?111 Unicorns FTW.
 
I’ve tasted dirt too. Lots of it. But usually by accident from getting tackled in the mud, going camping, or other wild activities. It hardly has taste, especially dry dusty dirt. However, I would not trust someone to sweep dust and dirt and cobwebs towards my face. You can simply say “spit it out” and that is reasonable. Yes, you can get it out, but imagine it while it’s IN your mouth. It’s an unpleasant sensation that could have easily been avoided. It would have been much SMARTER to have Twilight’s magic handle the pan and Applejack handle the broom. This isn’t against the episode or anything, but it does fix a probable problem.

@zippysqrl  
Eh it depends where it is.

@Pagan  
it’s also made up of animal bsns.

@Xzar  
Because dirt is srs bsns.

Why has this turned into a discussion about eating dirt?
 

@zippysqrl  
Being a farmer or not thinking dirt tastes bad? Cause I’m not particularly proud of either.

@Pagan  
That’s not something to be proud of.

@Glimmy-Glam  
Zippy explained that’s not what they meant which was pretty obvious but just so you know as a farmer myself I have actually eaten dirt to test it’s fertility for planting crops it really doesn’t even taste that bad.

@Glimmy-Glam  
That’s not what I meant.  
She’s not afraid of being close to dirt and getting dirty  
She’d have to get really into it to actually eat any of the dirt, especially since her mouth is already occupied by the handle.  
And if she does get dirt IN her mouth, she can very easily spit it back out, if she chooses to.

@zippysqrl  
Yeah, cause farmers eat dirt and stuff. Bravo.

@Mellow91  
I thought her main things were apples, honesty, rocking a stetson, and talking with a charming southern drawl. Dirt’s more a tool of the trade.
 
 
@pokemonFTW  
All I can think of now is this:  

 
 
@Mellow91  
Even Rarity isn’t all dainty all the time!
 
 
@zippysqrl  
In all fairness, dirt is much less likely to go up your nose that dust is. And if she sneezes, it could set them back quite a bit.
