Who wants to live forever?

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 54 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Not me, but it would be fun to live 3 times.

I'm all for eternity with an opt-out choice. But forever without parole? That is hell.

[–] applebusch@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I understand why people always say things like this. It's the not having a choice that ruins eternity. Fortunately it seems that such a fate is physically impossible in this reality. Even if you were made of the most durable possible material, you would still fundamentally be composed of baryonic matter, which means if you fell into a star, collided with a celestial object at relativistic speed, or fell into a black hole, you would surely die. There is always a way out for an enterprising immortal, and afterwards sweet nothing.

"Christianity again? After cowboys? You went all the way back around? Oh, god, why can't I die? This is the worst thing that's ever happened to anyone!"

Been looking for this for a minute. Thanks.

What happened to his kid? That is terrifying.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Depends on if he went back in time or jumped to a different parallel universe.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Seems like it would be going back in time since Mario isn't old in the last panels.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 6 points 2 months ago

Maybe his consciousness was transported to a new version of himself in that other universe. Like quantum immortality theory

~~Moira~~ Mario X

The original has text but this is better.

Must not have actually saved the princess. Not sure what the correct course of action is, though. Certainly beat Bowser, but then I guess let her just be a princess/eventual queen? So don't marry her? Maybe that's where he messed up.

There's a whole-ass game about it.

... which is marked 18+ for some inscrutable reason. There's no smut and no gore. It's just gay as hell.

This is why Mario eventually turned into a cyborg and tried to wipe out the Mushroom Kingdom.

It’s-a Nietzsche’s eternal return

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

One for Peach, one for Bowser, and one for the shroom

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

Didn't the ending have the text, "What the fuck"?
