the fireflies returned last night, summer has officially begun
Mario creepypasta fundamentally doesn’t work because you know what Mario would actually do if we saw some dimension-warping hundred-handed cosmic horror? He wouldn’t lose his mind; he’d take one look at that Shin Megami Tensei looking fucker, pull out his dorky little mushroom-shaped cell phone, hit the fourth number down on his contact list, and go “hey, Kirby, I think-a one-a your boys got lost”.
“Or he’d just fight it himself” no, he would not, for two reasons:
- This represents a fundamental misunderstanding of Mario’s central plot structure. Mario always gets his ass beat in his initial encounter with an outside context problem, then spends the bulk of the game going around gathering allies and kicking the legs out from under the outside context problem’s support structure.
- This sort of thing clearly falls into another protagonist’s idiom, and Mario is a union man – he’s not going to scab on Kirby. Perish the thought!
“I wouldn’t take-a the food from another video game mascot’s plate!”
“I don’t think Kirby gets paid for this.”
“That’s-a not what I said.”

Really great texts suggestions in the middle of my conversation about Matthew Lillard.
Bonus emojis it wanted me to send during the same conversation.
My phone may be haunted.
ruh roh, it gets worse
I’m not a Redditor so I could be wrong. But this looks pretty fucking bad
this is a really funny move because the unpaid labour of thousands upon thousands of mods is a fundamental load bearing part of reddits functionality and if you start banning them then eventually the site just won’t work
Who are these scab mods anyway?
Imagine scabbing for free
I guess to start I should mention I helped moderate some larger communities over the course of a few years, and while I don’t anymore I’m still in those group chats and have some personal knowledge and experience with the site in general.
I was at a veterinary clinic and I started to eat all of their hand sanitizer, the woman at the desk looked horrified and I locked eyes with her and said, “At least it’s sanitary.” I then proceeded to die.
today’s funky frog of the day is the green frog (Lithobates clamitans) - this stunning example is a blue morph, caused by a lack of yellow pigment in the skin! this is one of the most common frogs in eastern north america, and show some diversity in their coloration, although usually not as intensely blue as this fellow.
