  1. alright! reflection on todays question "who is best pony?"-----i have had a lot of good replies, but who is best pony? well, if you use reason celestia is best pony, she is all powerful, in charge, and a unisus...now some can argue if she is the best pony why does she need the mane 6/elements of harmony, the answer is she is not the best pony...the other side of the argument is your personal favorite pony these answers vary and some chose more than 1, but if there are all these answers how can there be 1 BEST pony...the answer, there isnt. So if reason has failed as well as personal opinion how can we decipher BEST PONY? there is no such thing as the best pony, it is just a concept that makes us pick the most valuable traits, however it isnt those traits alone that bring love and kindness it is the collective need to strive for a BEST pony. stay strong herd

    1. @thephilosophicalbrony Not to be picky, but I think that a pony that is a pegasus and a unicorn is called an Alicorn not a Unisus.

          1. @biologicalbrony did you actually read that page, read in the parenthesis after unicorn

              1. @biologicalbrony if you read at the very bottom of the link i sent it states that alicorn is more of a recent term and these "mythics" buffs say its incorrect

    2. @thephilosophicalbrony Good topics on your board though.

      1. @biologicalbrony you know about genbetics right, might you be able to explain biologically why luna and celestia are seemingly the only two winged unicorns?

        1. @thephilosophicalbrony thats a good question. assuming that winged unicorns are sterile hybrids, that would rule out unisus reproducing by themselves. but it seems that the likelihood of other winged unicorns being born to pegasi/unicorn parents would be pretty high.

        3. @thephilosophicalbrony assuming I did everything right and ignoring incomplete dominance, epistasis and gene interactions, then

        4. @thephilosophicalbrony using population genetics, 2401/65535 or 3.66% of offspring will be unisus.
