@Turtle Not just magic, but the simple fact of differing physiological makeups. They're not human, so quirks of human biology can't be applied to them.

@Freeman I know a ton of people who looked up the solution online and drilled themselves on it. Most of them can solve it at around a minute or less. Makes me feel inadequate.

@Chad: It's not that it's a broken bracket, it's that I didn't have a bracket at all. the old heatsink was built to connet directly to the motherboard, in the same spots were the bracket screws in. I've never built a computer before, so I didn't know that most heatsinks need one.

I would think that any species that reproduces using gametes would experience the same problems as they age. Older cells do not divide as readily as younger cells and chromosomal abnormalities may develop. If ponies have a similar lifespan to those of humans it is therefore possible that they could risk the same problem.
Now if they reproduce using something other than gametes.. then maybe they dont have that problem. For all we know they bud like yeasts and the new ponies just drop off...

Naw its more an I always thought Mrs Cakes was in her 40's and I found it odd that she was having kids at that age, because of the risk that humans face having children at that age.

No Turlte is arguing that Mrs cake is in her 40's and it was odd she had kids that late.
Further Turtle, we still have NO evidence that pony ageing is the same as human aging in terms of speed, so saying 40's really means nothing if the average lifespan is 120 or so instead of ~70 or only 40 to being with
