You know how canaries were historically brought into coal mines, because if the mine was full of carbon monoxide the canary would die first and the miners would be able to escape before they died too?
I just found the greatest thing.
This is a canary resuscitator.
When the miners notice the canary getting sick with carbon monoxide poisoning, they can close that circular hatch so no more gas gets into the canary cage, and open the valve on that oxygen tank to keep the canary breathing. In other words, they made a spacesuit for birds.
By immediately giving the canary access to clean air, the miners can save it from the poison. The bird lives. To be clear, this is not for economic purposes, this was specifically created because the miners felt bad and wanted to save the bird.
Isn’t that just the perfect demonstration of what humans are like? We started sacrificing small creatures to save ourselves, and then felt bad and spent our valuable resources on saving the critters too. Because yeah the canary was the only way to test for CO, but it’s a living creature too, dammit!

Here’s the thing: We all agree Jack Black is an amazing fit for Bowser. Charlie Day has voice acted before, in the Lego Movie as a very well received and distinct character, so he can probably do well as Luigi. Peach’s voice, not to insult Samantha Kelly, is incredibly generic, so Anya-Taylor Joy can probably nail it. You’re fooling yourself if you think Keegan-Michael Key can’t do a great Toad voice. Hell, even Seth Rogan, as washed up and exhausting as he is, can probably do a sufficient enough voice for Donkey Kong.
It’s literally just Chris Pratt, and nobody has any faith in his voice acting abilities, because literally every character he’s played since 2014 has been “Chris Pratt but X”. Even in The Lego Movie, his character was “Generic Milquetoast Dude made out of Lego”, aka “Chris Pratt but Lego”. Chris Pratt is the “original Sonic movie design” of the Mario film, in that he will single handedly drag the film down to hell, and the only way to save it is to completely excise him from the movie.
