    I have a neighbor two blocks down who has a garden/orchard setup in their front yard. Within it are several motion-detecting sprinklers, likely intended to ward off the huge number of jackrabbits that inhabit our city. But their single most prominent function is scaring the absolute fucking shit out of me every morning on my walk to work.

    Unfortunately, Super Mario Bros. isn’t exactly a turtle-friendly game. If you took advice from a turtle game, you’d go “oh it’s just a little water. turtles could walk through that easily.”

      Everyone knows the sidewalk is just a leftover from a time long before cars “saved” us from needing such things. They aren’t supposed to be used anymore.

    It’s pretty easy if you eat all the mushrooms, flowers, and leaves you come across because you’ll either be high, full of energy, or dead and don’t need to deal with this pointless journey we call existence.

    Waking up to serve others while we become empty husks, retire, and turn into worm food so that we may complete the cycle of life, fueling the growth of plants and mycelia for the next victim.

    Anyways, our princess is in another castle

    These can usually be quickly and easily adjusted without tools. IMO it’s kind of a douche move from the owner to not even bother checking that his sprinklers aren’t spraying the sidewalk.
