Mega Goomba is the product of Kameks Magic. That being said, I think it’s irresponsible that Kamek has not used any of his magic to try to stop climate change. If he can make goombas Mega, what’s stopping him from making chestnut trees mega?

[@SnowpawShaw]

He is literally Bowser's evil minion

[@seandwalsh3]

@@SnowpawShawmajor reason why Bowser is evil in the first place

[@seandwalsh3]

Technically Mega Goomba just grows on his own. Presumably via some magic, but Kamek isn’t in New Super Mario Bros. and we never see him cast any spell on the Goomba on-screen.

[@mopanda81]

let's talk about the carbon emissions created as a by product of large releases of magic energy from magic wands

[@devilishjester7718]

How do we know that he didn't? The mario world has lots of prominent snowy areas that seem well preserved. And if we go even further, we can see that places like New Donk City just green energy in the form of power moons, which could probably put their CO2 emissions at 2/3s of ours, and that's not even counting differences in population numbers and modes of transport

Hey, interesting thing, the American chestnut was not entirely wiped out, and some folks have bred a blight-resistant one they’re trying to spread back into the world.

[@CeilingOpossum]

Yes!!! I grew up on a farm and we were able to get two blight-resistant chestnut sprouts and they’re about seven or so years old and doing pretty good!

​@@mushroom2493The burj khalifa originally did not have a septic system because Dubai was built in such a rush, so they had to pump out the waste every day and drive it away in massive poop truck convoys.

I'm so glad you chose the red rectangle, as I also avoid the orange square! You're hilarious, and at some point halfway through I was so genuinely invested in this like a mega goomba tree was a feasible option. I just got caught up in the enthusiasm😅

[@Infinitelyperplexed]

I only have Red Rectangle so I'm glad you uploaded this. Thanks Sage :)

[@Elleh42]

Interesting thing I think about, when you "burn calories" to loose weight the actual mass you are loosing is mostly carbon and is exhaled as the result of your metabolism. The inverse is also true. Fat is mostly carbon that came from the things you ate that in turn got it from the atmosphere. In other words the American obesity crisis is really a form of carbon capture!

[@LuvRawSushiAndWhales]

I love how the baseline is that they start at their normal size instead of maturing into that size. It makes for a far more entertaining concept 😂. But there are also mini Goombas!! So maybe they would just grow from regular sized chestnut trees and fall in groups, since the mini goombas traveled together for group attacks

[@IcyDayMars]

When you said nearsighted I had to back my ass up from the laptop I was hunched over,, I think it's time to update my glasses again JHSJHJS

[@faeriequeen6713]

Mega goomba tree could *very* easily tie into the conspiracy theory that mesas/plateaus/buttes are actually harvested mega flora fossils 😂😂😂

[@fruchtmann4378]

The problem is of course that the tree didn't figure out the advanced hydrolics of the burj Khalifa. And that it might be somewhat heavy to stand on itself. If we could teach the tree how to swim, we could solve those issues and there is enough space in the ocean to take up all the carbon at least for a couple of years.

[@NovaStella_]

I just found your video on Beavers and now Yes I agree that goombas are chocoshrooms Now we need to see the goombas in all the chocoshroom Flavors

[@michaelacobb1209]

wait i liked it! it was so cool (i'm gonna watch it again on here though)

[@MommyOfZoeAndLiam]

Wait, go back...how did they weigh the tree? Did they cut it down? Or did they find a way to weigh it without killing it?? I would think that they could find an average weight for the density of the wood and go by that by measuring the diameter and height, but I'm not sure about the canopy branches. Does the whole tree 'sequester' carbon or just the leaves? I would like to know more, but it is after midnight, thanks for the rabbit hole.

[@akwardaro9235]

i need to know more about extinct chestnuts

[@Hessed3712]

I am currently looking for chestnuts to roast. Amazon for the win!

[@MrsExit-wz3sq]

If I may add to your theory, do you think the Mega Goomba grows over time, allowing the tree an easier chance of survival? (I am not a scientist). Or do you think that the only reason they’re so big is because they plant trees upon the end of their lifecycle. Maybe that’s why the King Goomba has its status, the one giant Goomba that didn’t die (until Yoshi). King Goomba could also act as a pseudo “Queen of the hive” because of the other Goombas following the king. Although they have to at least have some free will on account of the friendlier Goombas that Mario has come across (plus that cute one with the hat in Mario odyssey. I loved your beaver video!!

We were lucky enough to find American chestnuts in our back yard. They must have been planted by our neighbors and I harvested a bunch the first year we moved in. The leaf pattern makes me think they are certainly american chestnuts, but they could be american/chinese hybrids.

Hi sorry different trees have very different wood densities and growth forms and thus different carbon sequestration potential. idk if you got lucky with the sequoia because it’s medium density and so is chestnut!
