Thats the joke.
And stupidity.
Who knows how dragon biology works?
They can swim in lava, sleep for a century and greed induces puberty.
Oh.
Well he still eats trash and rocks.
He’s shown eating the cookies and sweets that they usually eat and in “Ticket Master” he was gorging on Hay fries after the waiter said that they didn’t have gems.
I… don’t recall him ever eating specifically pony food. He’s eaten pretty much every single thing ponies DON’T eat…
And it had to have been a short amount of time because the lead dogs were able to come back and screw with the other Mane 6 members, yet when Rarity was on screen they were always there to be the unfortunate souls she got to torture.
Under a minute? We were never given a time.
And he mostly eats pony food. Gems seem to be more like junk food than a required staple.
Are you sure? Because apparently Spike, a guy the height of a kennel whose nutrition comes from rocks, can run back to town in under a minute and warn the others something happened…
After all, look at how differently-sized each gem from each pony was in the first place, and all paying him for the exact same service (sure, they were all different types of gem, but that’s beside the point).
Spike’s friends gave him differently sized gems because they used whatever gems that they had available. Only Rarity and maybe Twilight would have a large amount of gems available. To be honest, the others probably got their gems from Rarity as well. Also, Spike’s friends knew that he was going to eat them, and therefore cared little amount the cash value, so they they weren’t worried about cash value either.
Not necessarily. If the gems were common enough, they might not even bother making change.
I don’t follow the logic behind this statement. If they were actually currency, they would have set values and the people that Spike did business with would know how much change to give him.
Given that everyone took a gem and walked away, Spike was overpaying them, and it is unlikely that Spike would fail to ask for change, especially since his supply of gems was dwindling quickly.
Looping the discussion back around to what started it, the trouble that Spike went through shows that gems aren’t common. He couldn’t just go out to dig for them on his own.

After all, look at how differently-sized each gem from each pony was in the first place, and all paying him for the exact same service (sure, they were all different types of gem, but that’s beside the point).
They weren’t even being used as proper currency in that episode either. Spike was using them as bribes to avoid haggling.
If they were currency, he would have gotten change back on those transactions.
That doesn’t say that they are common, but does say that they are considered valuable.
Well, they are apparently common enough that ponies just have them to use for currency, and common enough that they’re accepted as currency by store owners.
The gem area was a distance from Ponyville, and there were other people mining it. Rarity’s power was needed to make finding gems easy even in an area rich enough to be mined.
To put it another way, where does any of that imply that gems are common in the setting? More common than in the real world perhaps, but never to the point where someone could find them everywhere.
I’m not sure where the idea that gems in Equestria can be found just with a shovel came from, but it it isn’t from the show.
It’s probably where ponies are allowed to dig. City ordinances, or regulations, or some such things.
She’s not just walking outside of town borders. The area she mines is some distance away.
Probably because digging within the town borders looks really bad.
Really? So why does she have to go out of town to find any?
Oh, right, sorry. I had a brain fart.
“Vinyl” and “Scratch” have two syllables. “Tap” only has one.
Two words, each one syllable, with the same vowel sounds in the middle of them.
@FamusJamus
That’s true. I think she was merely associated with dubstep due to topical relevance - even though she is seen with vinyl albums, it’s electronic music that comes to mind for many today when they envision what is means to be a DJ.
>Spinal Tap sounds like Vinyl Scratch.
It does?
I still think it’s addressing the fanon side of things.
I mean, how did “Vinyl Scratch” = Dubstep?
If you want to talk about silly names, let’s just remember the dragon that is now named in canon after a bad Youtube caption.
