Proof: They both have mustaches https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/false-cause Actually, this is probably a case of the association fallacy. (There's more than 24 fallacies)

The association fallacy is assuming two things are the same because they share a property.

This particular fallacy has been used a lot in conspiracy theories, much more common when analyzing fiction. That's where the parody "Illuminati Confirmed" posts come from.

Let's turn the theory into more standard logic to demonstrate:

Premise 1:Asgore has a mustache

Premise 2:Mario has a mustache

(Fallacious) conclusion:Asgore is Mario

Some theories, like Post 257, however, use many at once-I think I can confidently say it's worse than Sans is Ness. I know It's what I was talking about. No, you linked the "false cause" fallacy- The fallacy that correlation implies causation. THAT fallacy is if you notice a link between two sets of data, and deduce one is the CAUSE of the other.
