OG’s know 🤝 While often dismissed as a chaotic party game, Mario Kart may inadvertently serve as a critical simulator for navigating dangerous real-world weather conditions. The game’s ink-spraying squid forces players to drive using memory and peripheral vision, mirroring the cognitive shift required when a sudden downpour obscures a windshield. By removing central vision, the mechanic trains the brain to remain calm and maintain a steady trajectory rather than reacting with panic. Later versions of the franchise add a loss of traction to this visual impairment, teaching players the gentle inputs necessary to handle hydroplaning without overcorrecting. Is it possible that your survival instincts in a heavy storm are actually owed to hours spent dodging ink on the track? What are your thoughts? 🤔💭 ( Media: @ rthirty1/tt ) #cars #carmemes #mariokart
