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.
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...
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.
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.
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?

I talked to the plants and they just want water.

Bahnd@lemmy.world · 49 pts · 44d
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 pts · 44d
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.

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…

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 pts · 44d
Pretty much. Meanwhile their bosses get a million dollar payout for a job well done.

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

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)

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.

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

Please tell me they're not trying to scoop all the algae out of there.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip · 13 pts · 44d
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 grab em by the algae, what's taking so long?

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.

towerful@programming.dev · 1 pts · 44d
I think they are scooping out the dead algae so it isn't food or doesn't clog pumps/filters
