Someone has to say it…

It’s what plants crave!

I talked to the plants and they just want water.

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Like, from the toilet?

[-] Bahnd@lemmy.world 49 points 3 weeks ago

I hope that those pants are rated for chemicals, they have been dumping shit in that water for days to clear up the bloom.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 33 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

That dude in the front is wearing camo overalls. Is he trying to sneak up on the algae? Is he an assassin?

Dude behind him is wearing dayglow. They are giving mixed signals.

Introvert vs extrovert

[-] Jessicat@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago
[-] osanna@lemmy.vg 13 points 3 weeks ago

Haha yeah. Those people(probably) aren’t rich so they don’t matter

[-] Jessicat@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Plebe safety is not highly ranked in the list of priorities. No one is doing that job unless they need to. I hope they at least get health insurance…

[-] osanna@lemmy.vg 5 points 3 weeks ago

Haha funny joke. Oh, you were being serious?

[-] Jessicat@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I was being hopeful :). I don’t know if they’re federal park employees maintaining the memorial or how that works. In any case I try to normalize it where I can.

[-] frank@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 weeks ago

And they don't know this in the photo but they're probably not getting their promised pay for doing this

[-] osanna@lemmy.vg 7 points 3 weeks ago

Pretty much. Meanwhile their bosses get a million dollar payout for a job well done.

[-] Einskjaldi@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Hydrogen peroxide very rapidly decomposed to just water

[-] rayyy@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

We certainly know that the pool paint isn't rated for those chemicals.

[-] slampisko@lemmy.world 35 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

European here, what is this Brawndo?

EDIT: Briefly forgot I could google it.

It's a fictional energy drink from the movie Idiocracy (which has long been on my to-watch list)

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago

It's what plants crave!

[-] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

I had idiocracy on my list for a while. After watching it, I can confirm that it's easily one of the best movies ever made.

[-] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Welcome to Costco, I love you.

[-] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Idiocracy is more like real Life tv now versus a movie.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

Ha you wish, we don't have the luck to live in a nice a place.

[-] osanna@lemmy.vg 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Go away. Batin’

[-] filcuk@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago

When that came out, it was a way over the top silly movie.
Watching that now may prove to be a very different experience.

[-] III@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I would kill for a dystopian future where, although stupid, the people aren't filled with hatred. Seems like we are headed for the hate-filled idiot future...

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Also the society wide sexual confidence behind the use of the term "Bait'n" in public.

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Everyone wears Crocs because the costume designer thought they were the stupidest thing they'd ever seen.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

You should try it, it has electrolytes.

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 31 points 3 weeks ago

Shut up with yer stupid words and put some more Ow, My Balls!" back on!

[-] perishthethought@piefed.social 28 points 3 weeks ago

Please tell me they're not trying to scoop all the algae out of there.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 weeks ago

If you shock it, that kills the algae, right?

Then where does it go? There's physical remnants left behind. That doesn't just disappear.

Just like you have to skim a regular pool, I'm sure you want to keep solid waste out of the reflecting pool to keep from overwhelming a filtration system that's simply not built for the load.

[-] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Just grab em by the algae, what's taking so long?

[-] fizzle@quokk.au 8 points 3 weeks ago

I assumed it was a generated image.

At the very least, the water is too green.

If it happens to be legit, no they're not scooping algae because they don't have anything to scoop it into.

That said, during algal blooms in estuaries et cetera physically removing it is part of the process. If a healthy estuary is free of whatever variety of algae, but it gets infested somehow for example due to fertiliser run off from farms, then stopping the fertiliser may not be enough to solve the problem because the estuary is clogged up with algae.

[-] towerful@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago

I think they are scooping out the dead algae so it isn't food or doesn't clog pumps/filters

It's got electrolytes! It's what plants crave!

[-] Danarchy@lemmy.nz 19 points 3 weeks ago

Careful not to meme too much about this they might send a horsey cop to arrest you and give you a ticket

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

America needs electrolytes!

[-] bagsy@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

Fuck, that's a top notch joke!! Hats off to you!.

The dead baby ducks are super sad

[-] Folstar@lemmus.org 5 points 3 weeks ago

Are these the vandals they're arresting for pouring in corrosive chemicals, walking in the pool, and scraping off the poorly done, poorly conceived paint job?

[-] Cellari@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

You know it's fresh when it's green

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

People generations from now are going to feel the embarrassment. That's how potent it is.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

This actually looks delicious. Would totally drink.

[-] angband@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I thought brawndo was a mad-magazine-esque pun for kids based off a popular detergent logo from the early 80's. Never saw idiocracy.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Never saw idiocracy.

You don't need to anymore.

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

You're living it mate.
