Why did you set up your sprinklers so that they spray water on people walking on the sidewalk?
Fuck 'em, that's why!

Gotta hit that landing strip between the sidewalk and the curb!
Everyone knows the sidewalk is just a leftover from a time long before cars "saved" us from needing such things. They aren't supposed to be used anymore.
Castle theme intensifies
Is it possible to get past that?
Yes because you can survive 2 hits
It's pretty easy if you eat all the mushrooms, flowers, and leaves you come across because you'll either be high, full of energy, or dead and don't need to deal with this pointless journey we call existence.
Waking up to serve others while we become empty husks, retire, and turn into worm food so that we may complete the cycle of life, fueling the growth of plants and mycelia for the next victim.
Anyways, our princess is in another castle
Proceeds to jump on all the sprinkler heads like they are all goombas.
I uh, wouldn't recommend that with fire bars.
I mean after all there are eight levels which are of course a reference to the Noble Eightfold Path.
These can usually be quickly and easily adjusted without tools. IMO it's kind of a douche move from the owner to not even bother checking that his sprinklers aren't spraying the sidewalk.
Most people usually aim them to cover corner to corner, then the wind blows from any direction and it goes further onto sidewalks. Then there are the ones (usually owned by the neighborhood or city in my experience) that water the sidewalks and roads and manage to only hit 15% of the grass.
Hmmm, wasn't there a technology connections video on these sprinklers?
This one?
Impact sprinkler - more clever than it seems
Or better yet just binge the channel.
Oh yes, it was indeed this one. But yeah, this entire channel is absolutely amazing! :)
I have 'adjusted' one to be stuck down with a stick shoved into the ground next to it.
... first edition? Am i that old now?
I have a neighbor two blocks down who has a garden/orchard setup in their front yard. Within it are several motion-detecting sprinklers, likely intended to ward off the huge number of jackrabbits that inhabit our city. But their single most prominent function is scaring the absolute fucking shit out of me every morning on my walk to work.
It wouldnt be a north American sidewalk if there was no obstacles
Unfortunately, Super Mario Bros. isn't exactly a turtle-friendly game. If you took advice from a turtle game, you'd go "oh it's just a little water. turtles could walk through that easily."
Pictures you can hear (which means you're old).
