In the Wii series games, Wuhu Island is committed to clean air by only allowing electric vehicles. However, in Mario Kart 7, gas vehicles are used in the races. This implies that Mario made a deal with the Wuhu Island administration to receive exclusive pollution privileges.

I can empathize that git does not make sense for a lot of people, but in my head I just see the tree view from tortoisegit on windows a decade ago with commit dots on colored lines, and little rectangle markers for branch tips and tags, and it all makes such clear sense, even tho I use bare CLI now.
I love how probably 90% of people who use git agree that it's often super unintuitive and difficult to do pretty basic things (like, say, revert a commit) and every time it's brought up the Computer People are like "it makes perfect sense what are you talking about"

So much so that clicking a piezo-electric arc lighter nearby can induce bit-flips.

I wrote an exploit to turn those bitflips into a shell:
