Weird. A real thing that somehow made it through every level... This is truly a remarkable example of the Swiss cheese model in action.

I give you, an eBay listing: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/314945286881

Why would it be a hazard or remarkable or even something special that it "made through"… It's just a mascot, and a good one as well

TIL Swiss cheese model

I don't see why any level would go "Oh furries are going to love this, and we can't have that" and change the design.

How many NBA mascots would lose their jobs if we were all so uptight about shit like this?

If I'm put in charge, that guy is the first to go.

I feel unsafe looking at that picture.

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Displaying that mascot qualifies as large scale mental abuse.

Agreed, @sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works would be best if you wrap that image in a spoiler.

Giant zombie baby from Dead Alive?

Based on the photos of the mascots, there's no way they didn't hire a furry to draw those.

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 3 points 4 hours ago

It's funny how it's so distinctly "furry" over just "animal mascot" but I can't put my finger on the details that make it so

$50 all in w/ shipping to the US‽

That's Lizzie! She's adorable!!

She's the Paralympics mascot, and a frilled lizard! Her frill is shaped like Australia!
