HOUSTON MENTIONED meme

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live. "This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario." The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?" NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD." Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version." PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

I strongly dislike this system. In my vehicle, the engine stopping means no power steering. Sometimes if I’m crossing a median the engine will shut off, and getting up and going takes ~5s for power steering to return. Could have caused an accident.

I’ve seen one or two projects completely close down public PRs inside GitHub, and force all PRs to originate from a discussion. It adds a little bit of friction to the contribution process, but it also forces people to publicly discuss and think through changes, instead of yelling “fire the hole”

Cold weather food? I just finished this pot of chili con carne, braised for 8 hours. Ended up perfect! 🍜

Slow-Cooked Boston Baked Beans Recipe Our Boston baked beans recipe uses beans, molasses, and salt pork with a long, slow cook in a dry oven to tenderize the beans and form a dark crust for the best flavor.

Hi! It was this one: www.seriouseats.com/boston-baked..., they came out really good, though they needed more liquid at the end than I gave them.

Two pigs made out of lemons. One is a 1 year old lemon that is dried out, the other is a brand new lemon.

Out with the old, in with the new! Thank you for your service, lemon pig of 2025.

Yep. More people voted Kamala in Texas (4.8 mil) than the entire voting population in 40 US states.

Two or three of us will be in the lobby bar at the Omni for a #kubecon post conf! I'll be there around 8:30pm working on my conference write up, feel free to join!

Yeah. Reminds me of an interaction someone told me, they were conversing about the potential loss of Medicaid and the other person replied "None of that affects me though, I have UnitedHealthcare Star" and it's like ...

I have a feeling ERJs and CRJs are gonna be more likely to be canceled, since they hold way less passengers. Just rebooked to a 737, unfortunately that means I have to wake up at 2am 😑

The three that won tonight are newcomers and are liberal aligned, although the positions are non partisan. If all holds, liberal aligned members now have a 4-3 majority. They promised to undo the book bans and all of the other stuff the conservatives put into place over the last 2 years.

That’s our school district! Very happy about this.

Watching now!
