Are you suggesting that we should burn down companies and factories? Cuz I'd never agree to meet you at a specific time and place so that we could disassemble the means of production and effectively delete entire toxic cogs of the economy.
In fact, tell me precisely where and when you plan on meeting so that I can definitely avoid you.
i would NEVER suggest burning down factories, as those can be quite easily reconfigured to produce useful things or simply be converted into quite nice neighbourhoods.
It's really easy to tell the difference. The jellyfish is the one that hurts you immediately when you try to swallow it and the plastic bag is the one that causes problems in 1.5-3 minutes with catastrophic problems around 10 minutes.
To be fair, we currently have an overpopulation of jellyfish due to both the decline of turtles and raising sea temperatures, so if anything, this is helping.
im all for getting rid of single use plastics and returning to sustainables like paper and glass. metals have their own issues like expense, and oxidation.

Save jellyfish by polluting the oceans with plastic

If I was a hungry sea turtle, I'd open the jars to check which one of them has jellyfish inside.

If I was a hungry sea turtle, I'd just order a pizza.

Be a rebel by also doing your best to avoid the trash in the first place.

And most importantly, work to disassemble the systems that normalize and support the production of the wasteful and toxic materials we now call trash.

How do the turtles open the jars?
This is fucked up, the scientists ought to know turtles can’t operate jars.

The answer seems obvious. Introduce the turtles to Kraft Mac and Cheese. Its better than jellyfish and still comes in a paperboard box.

I can tell the jellies are on the right and that they're in the genus Aurelia. Seems like a skill issue

I mean I can tell the jellyfish apart from the plastic bag in this example, so maybe those turtles just need glasses.

You're outside the water now. You have get inside the water then try to find the difference.

The soft calls of the quetzals wake you. You're finally free. The idea of ragebaiting and news of the American Election Cycle is nowhere to be found.
The warm Caribbean sun shines on your shell, maybe a bit too warmly. Time for a dip in the ocean and maybe a light snack.

turtles eat jellyfish?
thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz · 23 pts · 1y
Yep for some species it's their main food source
ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 1y
huh. live and learn.
i guess for other species it's pizza?

You need the calories for the growth spurt, also to keep up with the ninja training

Lets make bags out of jellyfish!
SiEstUbiEst@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 1y
Instead of shooting up schools imagine if Americans shot up industrial sources of litter
PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 1y
We had one of those near Buffalo NY.
It was totally unrelated to litter, but...

Save the turtles but fuck these jellyfish. we will just put them in a jar for our display.

Turtle is ging to szay hungry. It can open neither of them, because it's missing those precious opposable thumbs.

Also imagine being in the water with all those jellyfish the turtle didn't eat.

I know right. Imagine the horror: you are about to eat a tasty platic bag, but you realize it's actually a jellyfish
