Whose job is it to go around burying dead Marios?

[–] _druid 17 points 2 weeks ago

Probably the same ridiculously optimistic Toad from the Mario movie.

[–] anomnom 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The piranha plants probably.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] voldage@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] SculptusPoe@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

does Lemmy have an imsorryjon community?

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

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Yokozuna@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Don't forget BertStrips!

[–] SculptusPoe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Heh, thanks. Subbed.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

….and BLOCKED!!!

[–] Banana 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] AwesomeLowlander 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Banana 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] AwesomeLowlander 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] RvTV95XBeo 3 points 2 weeks 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.

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

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 weeks 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 7 points 2 weeks 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 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Are you suggesting 1-up mushrooms migrate?

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] mangaskahn@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] prettybunnys 7 points 2 weeks ago

It’s not a question of where he grips it

[–] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] AwesomeLowlander 1 points 2 weeks ago

Proof that zombies do exist

[–] match@pawb.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit

[–] philthi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

“what did you do to my brother?!“ (pulls out 9mm)

[–] nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

@The_Picard_Maneuver This... actually kind of makes sense......

Also, reminds me of Super Meat Boy. 😁
