A relatively well-known quirk of Super Mario Sunshine is the interaction between Mario losing his hat and talking to NPCs. Losing his hat (through getting it stolen by the Swipin' Stu enemies) will make Mario quickly lose health (commonly assumed to be due to heat stroke from the high temperatures on Isle Delfino; supported by the fact that he will not lose health when in water).

When talking to an NPC without the hat, Mario will lose health during the conversation and eventually die, which the NPC will completely ignore, and simply continue talking.

However, there is a variant of this interaction that makes the NPC appear even more rude. If Mario talks to an NPC with a set facing direction from behind, as seen in the footage, the NPC will turn away from Mario's body after he dies during the conversation, adding another layer of disrespect to the scenario.

"do you get ringing in your ears sometimes?" "y-yeah. sometimes." "yeah, i would have been surprised if you didn't. the [muscle i do not remember the name of] here is like touching a guitar string."

"have you ever experienced whiplash? not recently, but in the past?" me, forgot about it since it was literal years ago and thus didn't mention it on my intake form: "...yes?" "okay, i thought so."

"are you a side sleeper?" "yes, i am" "on your right side?" "yes" "you really curl up, too, huh?" "y-yes."

Greater glider,

wikipedia has a truly wonderful image of one of these guys right at the top of the article:

This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…

Listen, this is serious.

Do not use the website called Sci-Hub!

It lets people access scientific articles for free. This is dangerous. It helps the free flow of knowledge and reduces the competitive edge of all the people who worked really hard to have been born into a wealth.

Like, it’s literally a website where you can type in the DOI of an article and read it, without ever having to pay the publisher who exploited the author.

So, again, do not, under any circumstance, use Sci-Hub. I mean, can you imagine a world where knowledge is free and easily accessible to everyone? Even, y'know, poor people?

Libgen also has many books online, including textbooks, searchable by name, author, and ISBN. Can you imagine textbook companies not getting their hard-earned income from poor college students? Here is the link just so you make sure that you never accidentally stumble across this horrible, unethical website.

Oh, and while we’re talking about books, if you’ve managed to stay clear from Libgen, definitely don’t go to zlibrary, where you can also find a lot of textbooks, but unfortunately they’re completely free.
