"How do you live in a world, where everything is human shaped, without opposable thumbs?" Hoof magic. Basically they can grip stuff with their hooves, and the thing they grab just sticks to it like metal on a magnet. Most likely a form of shortrange telekinetic field focused around their hooves for grabbing and manipulating stuff as well as around their backs for keeping things in place when transporting stuff.
Cannonicly In MLP:FiM Gryffonian Empire fell some tme ago and nobody in Equestria noticed that's how isolated ponies were from the rest of the world, hell most ponies in equestria don't even know what a griffin is Hell one of thier oldest allied ntaions fell (Hippogryphia/Mount Eris) and they only learned about it YEARS later when they went there for help Any time Equestria is interacting with another nation it seams that that nation has fallen while they weren't looking or is on a verge of declering war on them, the only exeption is when they put a previous ally in charge like Thorax becoming a Changeling King , Cadence becoming the new Crystal Princess or Ember becoming the New Dragon Lord (that was a very close one)
It simply takes 2 godlike beings, 6 avatars (+ company), and sometimes the Lord of Chaos itself to barely keep one nation functioning in this world, no wonder the rest of the world wasn't doing much better
@@apollyon2018 I mean Abysynia held itself quite well before Storm King showed up , And dragons have a suprisingly stable 'nation' considering they were around longer than equestria and most of that was under Dragon Lord Torch who was a fairly lax ruler and dragons are quite greedy, And they do listen to Embers orders (at least to the letter if not neseserlly the spirit) It's ironic that dragons who are known for being seclusive greedy loners had less trouble comming togather than ponies who are known to be friendly and social
@@omega9216 ponies seem to be very volatile lol, dragons don't care for much but afaik they never engaged in wars against each other. Even then, I don't think they would be much more than big loners or small gangs without the power of god imbued in a leader to convoke them (somewhat like the griffons, those stupid avians)
