I mean... she's not technically lying

Ah, Trixie must have been offered with sponsorship from Makita I see, very smart to feature their products in her acts - who's the real business pony now, huh Rarity? :P

"And now Trixie shall repair the damage and make the phonebook whole once more!"

Trixie, the greatest magician~

Part of me always likes to imagine Trixie's magic routines are like those of the late Tommy Cooper. The trick appearing to go wrong is all part of the act! 😆

"Watch me rip this telephone book in half!"

*RRRRRIIPPPPPP*

"Now for page 2!"

So far the majority of responses to this are along the lines of "Do they still make phone books?"

Dear Princess Celestia,

Like, do they even have phones yet in Equestria? I think we've gotten some background stuff along the lines of The Ham, but they still use letters and dragonfire for communication.

Just did a quick check, they're established enough to be in a Ponyville Antiques store... 😆

Digging deep for the details! Love it 📞

We call those the "deeptails"

dvandom.bsky.social•18 days ago

That feels like another case of The Ham, though. Background asset, but not directly interacted with. The world is otherwise technologically MOSTLY late 1800s/early 1900s with magic allowing for some anachronisms (plus the usual, "they weren't trying THAT hard to maintain a coherent world" issues).

From "Rarity takes Manehattan." Sure, it's not *directly* being interacted with, but its prominent placement on the desk at least implies that it is functional and being used. My theory is that phones are slowly starting to show up in the more metropolitan places of Equestria during the show.

Also, different locations are different eras. Manehattan is closer to 1920-40s New York, Ponyville is late 1800s movie musical Americana, Appleloosa is cowboy times as seen in 1930s movies and set in a vague "some time between 1870 and 1930", Las Pegasus is almost modern day, etc.
