That’s just how this artist draws tails, I’m personally a fan of it myself.

Not bad at all… but… the dock is meant to be UNDER the tail, not OVER it.
 
The dock is what controls the tail’s wagging by being below it.

@asdfghjkl  
It’s not important, I’m sure he only meant well.

“mmm whatcha say”
 
– Twilight if you rephrase what she said

Ask Celestia To Bless this comment section. XD

@Background Pony #DD3F  

1yd = .9144m

Is there a “god bless the comment section” tag? lol

@Background Pony #DD3F  
i created an account just to thank you for that

Good girl! <3
 
I love her swishy tail of excitement, and that gorgeous rump too, she’s perfect!

ohhhhhh meow this is so sexy

@Rainbow Dash  
Oh, hush, one off tangents are allowed so long as they don’t take over the thread entirely, I have no intention to discuss this further.

GO DO DISCUSIONS IN THE FORUM!

Well, for example, let’s take a yard and contrast it to a meter. Now, a yard is three feet, and a foot is twelve inches. Meanwhile, a meter is ten decimeters, and a decimeter is ten centimeters. Now, a meter and a yard are approximately comparable in length, a yard is a bit longer but they’re close enough for this. Example.
 
Now, what do you do when you want to get a third of each of these denominations?
 
Well, with a yard it’s simple, you now have two. You want to get another third of it? Sure, that’s simple too, two feet is twenty four inches so now you just divide twenty four by three, which any young child should be able to tell you off the top of their head is eight? Want to take another third of that? That can be done with just a touch more effort, you end up getting two and two thirds of an inch.
 
Now, let’s do the same thing with a meter, I’ll be using numerals instead here, since I think you can see this gets more complicated more quickly. Let’s take a third of a meter. Well, we immediatley come down to either representing it as 0.333m, 3.33dm, or more commonly you’ll see 33.3cm used for something like this. Well, let’s split that into thirds again. Now we end up with a third of 33.3cm which is 11.1cm, that’s actually simple enough, but when we break it into thirds a third time we end up with 3.7cm.
 
This is one of the tamer examples of issues that come up when dividing metric units into things that aren’t ten or five, since we started with a very well rounded one meter to begin with. Imperial units generally don’t fit as snugly into a base ten system, sure, but they usually are easily divisible by two, three, four, six, ect. That is to say, they are very easily divisible in ways that you would commonly be breaking things up in your day to day life. You’re more likley to have to take a third of something than a tenth of it.
 
There’s also another issue with metric insofar as it has issues with the way that humans rationalize numbers. Metric is very good for moving numbers around between units, but it has a habit of generating relativity large complex numbers, like you might have noticed above when they were directly compared to similar imperial units.
 
For example, a common measure of weight for small quantities of food in imperial units is ounces. For the record there are sixteen ounces in a pound and it takes about 2.2 pounds to make a kilogram.
 
Now, if I told someone that they have six ounces of cheese then it’s very simple for someone to rationalize that as six is a relativity simple number for the brain to rationalize and generally they’ll know that it’s a bit more than a third of a pound. Now, to get the same quantity of cheese in metric would need to put it as either 180g of cheese or 0.18kg of cheese. Now, what’s simpler for someone’s brain to rationalize? Would that be six ounces or 180g? I will tell you straight up that as far as your ability to visualize numbers goes, that both 0.18 and 180 are completley abstract numbers whereas six is pretty simple to grasp.
 
Generally the differences are simple things like this, small little things that end up being significant when taken on the whole. I find that from a mathematical perspective imperial units are far kinder to individuals in their day to day lives, as well as in terms of business and in some cases engineering. The units are generally much more simple to rationalize and conceptualize because they tend to be coached in a way that sounds complex on paper, but is much closer to the way the human brain recognizes numbers than the infinite base ten that metric is comprised of.
 
Metric is great because all of the conversions are stupid simple, but the weakness of the system lies in the abstraction of it which makes it difficult to conceptualize the actual meaning of the units when used in the day to day grind that is life and the general inflexibility of it when it comes to common unconscious math. Meanwhile, imperial units frankly look like dogshit on paper and you actually have to learn the conversions between different units for different types of measurements, but are comparatively quite easy to master and manipulate in real world applications once you know how to, and on top of that they’re easy to rationalize.
 
Like, seriously, have you ever tried to see how big of a number you can visualize in your head? As it happens most people can’t visualize six without breaking it up into two groups of three. It might sound silly but it’s true. In that respect, despite the fact that we generally operate and preform mathematical operations using base ten systems, ten is actually an abstract number insofar as you can count to ten, but you can’t imagine ten distinct dots in your mind’s eye at the same time.
 
As it happen, I used to try to encourage everyone to learn metric, but after really taking the time to learn the distinct advantages and disadvantages of both systems I’ve actually taken to encouraging people to learn both systems and be able to convert between them on the fly. You might find that you prefer one or another for specific things or applications, but I almost guarantee you that even if you learned one system exclusively when you grew up, that you’ll find that there are aspects of both systems that are better for different things entirely.
 
Anyway…
 
tl;dr  
Base ten is cool for math, but it blows for life. But that’s just my opinion! Do your own research and draw your own conclusions.
 
>tfw when you write a short essay against the absolute destruction of the imperial measurement system on a thread that’s technically supposed to be talking about some horny horse blowing a dude with a giant cock
 
You ever wonder how you ended up where you are right now? I wonder that a lot…

@Background Pony #DD3F  
can you name one?  
i don’t want to downplay your statement, it’s a serious question, i cannot think of anything where metric wouldn’t do

@Background Pony #183F  
There are actually a great many advantages to using imperial units, though I’ll agree that metric is generally better for scientific things there are also plenty of instances where imperial units are superior, including some instances where they’re actually more convenient for mathematical purposes believe it or not.

@Background Pony #C305  
i can assure you we do everything in the metric system here  
it’s much easier to handle from an entirely objective point of view
 
there’s a reason it’s the standard in all science

@Background Pony #183F  
I’ve never heard anyone refer to penis sizes using metric, even in countries that use metric.

@Background Pony #183F  
The conversions are very simple 1’=12” and 1”=2.54cm
 
If you can’t do those conversions on your own in a couple of seconds or with a quick google search then I’m not sure that your issues in comprehension are coming from the units used if you catch my drift.

@Background Pony #DD3F  
thank you for these numbers!  
can you please use the metric system for the sizes next time, though, so everyone understands you?

@100SGX  
They did it.

@Background Pony #DD3F  
I could sure need the help of a sweet Equestrian mare ♡

@BluTapeRose95  
Even as it is Anon here would likley be pushing against the upper end of what an Equestrian stallion could bring to the table, he would certianly be considered well endowed even by their standards, though I imagine that won’t be much of an issue here…
