Who said Equestria took place in medieval times? For all we know, FIM could take place in modern times without the TV’s, computers, or phones.

“”‘Bought the farm’ is a 20th century expression and all the early references to it relate to the US military. The New York Times Magazine, March 1954, had a related phrase, in a glossary of jet pilots’ slang: ‘Bought a plot, had a fatal crash.’ That clearly refers to a burial plot.[](https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/bought-the-farm.html)
Uh, Equestria is shown to have trains and other inventions that push them to at least partly late 1800s/early 1900s tech level.
yea, maybe, I guess.

but that brings up a new question then, how do they know a 20th century expression in what is basically medieval times?
