Whose job is it to go around burying dead Marios?

[–] _druid@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 months ago

Probably the same ridiculously optimistic Toad from the Mario movie.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The piranha plants probably.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh, sure, make the guys with no hands or feet do it!

[–] voldage@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Sounds like DEI, so I think it's not going to fly in the current political climate.

Aaaaannnnd subbed, I need to dig up that SpongeBob horror comic and post it there lol

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh, the Bikini Bottom Horror? It's great, the ending especially is surprisingly amazing!

[–] Yokozuna@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Don't forget BertStrips!

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

….and BLOCKED!!!

[–] SculptusPoe@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Heh, thanks. Subbed.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The fact that I already knew the answer to this embarrasses me

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why? I see it on my main feed all the time, it's just osmosis.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It means I don't touch grass nearly as often as I pretend to

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Leave the grass alone, it's got dead Marios under it.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago
[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Does it explain how or why there are so many Marios?

[–] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

You ever watch Orphan Black? Based on a true story.

Mario is a special breed of mushroom given false memories and a backstory so that they will grow to have a hero complex and protect the mushroom kingdom. Only one sprouts from the mother mycelium at a time.

Unpleasant is not a word I would have used for this information. Informative is the word I would have used

"We-a still talkabout-a you, woohoo!"

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 months ago

that means whenever the 1up falls down the pit of death because it went the wrong way out of it's block it's just going back to where it came from

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Hmm. That doesn't very neatly explain the ones that pop up in places where it's impossible to die.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Are you suggesting 1-up mushrooms migrate?

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You've never had to chase down a 1up mushroom?

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I'll admit, I was fooled by the lack of a husk, but yes, I see it now.

[–] mangaskahn@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Perhaps they're carried. It would be pretty easy to grip them by the husk.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

It’s not a question of where he grips it

[–] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Look up ant cordyceps, learn how some fungus can move around, and then have trouble sleeping for a few days.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Proof that zombies do exist

[–] match@pawb.social 6 points 3 months ago

tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit

[–] philthi@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

So the only wasted lives are the ones you have left when you complete the game...
