I recall Faust saying that ponies reproduce the same way we do.
Yeah, and I recall Faust saying ponies farts helium! Okay, althogh she messes around sometimes, I know she`s serious at times, too. And although she`s no longer working on the show doesn`t mean we can`t treat her opinions and plans as, more or less, cannon, but I still think...I don`t know. It`s a matter the show probably would never explain more accurately than it already has so maybe there is no one true answer people are looking for? Afterall, there are many things in the world of Equestria that doesn`t make any sense if you really start thinking about them. So yeah, I guess I`m too logical to expect a logical answer for this? 
But Pinkie went to the the toilet in "Over A Barrel"?
Okay, maybe that made pooping cannon, but the helium farts thing...just imagine all the balloons Pinkie used to fly around on Griffon the Brush Off. And how Gilda just popped them! Ewww, bad Faust, bad!
Yeah... And the worse is there's more proof, Rarity mentioned also in "Sweet and Elite", i just thought to myself "Whatta living fuck Faust & Co" lol yeah.
No, the pooping part is okay, but Faust`s claim that ponies farts helium seems really really wrong when you think about all the balloons they have around there.
On the other hoof, other than those two and some other few scenes that have ever refered to ponies` defecation system, that idea doesn`t seem to make sense. I mean, we`ve never seen any toilet seats in any bathroom, which buildings such as Golden Oak Library (which I really love) doesn`t even have! Are pegasuseseseses going to let their poop fall hundreads of metters, possibly falling on poor somepony`s head, or does they have some kind of shitclouds they store their shit in and possibly causes literal shitstorms, which Lauren Faust`s fart theory already mentioned? Oh, that sounded so wrong, but I can`t help but laugh!
Of course, such a matter isn`t suitable to be mentioned in little kids shows, other than the ways it already have been, but if I were to write very own, as showaccurate as possible, fanfiction, I would leave the pooping parts out as well. They`re shitty anyways.

Just mention there ish much toilet talk in mlp:fim season 1-2, and just realized that there isn't much toilet talk in season 3 or older references or much damage to any ponies:/
I...I need to find a way to make shitstorm ponies a reality
Please don`t. Doesn`t this fandom have enough crazy shit already?
They could be extraterrestrials that have a different biological mode than our planet...
Helium a noble gas, so it's almost never found in any compounds, and it's basically impossible for any kind of xenobiology that produces helium to exist.
I guess that would also apply to the ponies being dark matter based lifeforms like in "the physics of My Little Pony" but, this is science FICTION after all... (or a bunch of fanboys over thinking a little girls'show.)
I thought that remark was a joke? Also, still vaguely possible, just because we don't really know what dark matter even is, so we don't know anything actually ruling it out.
I really hate that expression. To quote Mark Twain, "the difference between truth and fiction is that the latter must always be credible in order to work". Plus it's not really science fiction at all, we're making vaguely scientific analysis of fantasy, and if we're going to try that it's obviously necessary to get as sciencey as possible wherever it's possible, otherwise we'll hit the "a wizard did it" barrier. Although yes, over-thinking.

Yes, I think we would getting into the "magic as a high form of unknown science" (IE: everything can be accomplished by science and nothing can not be accomplished by science, everything is science, everything can be explained by science, science has absolutly no limits ect.) as opposed to "Magic being a invasion (or being higher than but apart by definition) of science" and yes there is that "explain it with magic" trope or whatever. And even if we are over-thinking this, I think it would be interesting to see how a group of supposed horse looking extraterrstrials would work.
Well, personally, the definition of "supernatural" I use (irreducibly mental stuff; explanation here - [link]) doesn't make it impossible for things to be both scientifically understood and magical at the same time. But that just makes saying "magic" as a cop-out slightly more annoying.
Well, standard mammalian biology works fine as an explanation for the non-winged ones, just assume most of the divergences (pruney hooves, the issue seen above) are because it's a cartoon. Giant heads aren't that implausible physically, there just needs to be an evironment where they'll evolve. As for the winged ponies, my headcanon has Equestria having lower gravity and a higher air pressure than Earth, which makes it easier to fly around with smaller wings (although yes, the wing sizes in the show are still pretty implausible, it's also a cartoon).

Haha, I don't expect the show to touch on it, that would be absurd for a TV-Y rating.
The closest I could imagine going while remaining show appropriate would be something like this:

The CMCs ask about where foals come from and typical CMC mayhem ensues, birds and bees included.
