A 1996 GAG MANGA*, it's right there at the bottom of the "meme".

Whose job is it to go around burying dead Marios?

[–] _druid@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 days ago

Probably the same ridiculously optimistic Toad from the Mario movie.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The piranha plants probably.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] SculptusPoe@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days 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 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Yokozuna@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Art my friend, art

[–] SculptusPoe@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Heh, thanks. Subbed.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

….and BLOCKED!!!

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] SculptusPoe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[–] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

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

[–] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 days ago

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!"

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

[–] match@pawb.social 6 points 4 days ago

tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit

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 4 days 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 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Are you suggesting 1-up mushrooms migrate?

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] mangaskahn@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago

It’s not a question of where he grips it

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

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

Proof that zombies do exist

[–] philthi@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

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

[–] nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social 2 points 4 days ago

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

Also, reminds me of Super Meat Boy. 😁
