im all for getting rid of single use plastics and returning to sustainables like paper and glass. metals have there own issues like expense, and oxidation.
Be a rebel, pick up trash.

bro if im hungry the last thing i want is a jellyfish
Maetani@jlai.lu 5 weeks ago
I know right. Imagine the horror: you are about to eat a tasty platic bag, but you realize it’s actually a jellyfish
SiEstUbiEst@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Instead of shooting up schools imagine if Americans shot up industrial sources of litter
PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
We had one of those near Buffalo NY.
It was totally unrelated to litter, but…
madcaesar@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
People that litter are human trash.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 weeks ago
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.

I can tell the jellies are on the right and that they’re in the genus Aurelia. Seems like a skill issue
RagingRobot@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Save the turtles but fuck these jellyfish. we will just put them in a jar for our display.
SparrowHawk@feddit.it 5 weeks ago
That would hurt tho
TechieDamien@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
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.
prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
How do the turtles open the jars?
This is fucked up, the scientists ought to know turtles can’t operate jars.
ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
turtles eat jellyfish?
thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz 5 weeks ago
Yep for some species it’s their main food source
ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
huh. live and learn.
i guess for other species it’s pizza?
peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Wow that’s gotta be a record for fastest evolutionary change in response to man made disasters. Good work jellyfish!

If I was a hungry sea turtle, I would simply eat the jellyfish instead of the plastic.
moody@lemmings.world 5 weeks ago
If I was a hungry sea turtle, I’d open the jars to check which one of them has jellyfish inside.
tweeks@feddit.nl 5 weeks ago
If I was a hungry sea turtle I’d just order a pizza.

Let the jellyfish out
Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 weeks ago
Now imagine you’re a hungry sea turtle.
I already do that every day. What’s next?
PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
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.
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
Easy. Replace the turtle with more plastic bags.
telllos@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Lets make bags out of jellyfish!
Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 5 weeks ago
Um, I think trying to swallow a whole bottle like that may present bigger problems
hsdkfr734r@feddit.nl 5 weeks ago
Turtle can open neither of them, because it’s missing those precious opposable thumbs.
Squorlple@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Save jellyfish by polluting the oceans with plastic
HK65@sopuli.xyz 5 weeks ago
Save the trees, eat the beavers!
poke@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Those sickos bottle up the food for the sea turtles and now they’re gonna starve!
loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
The point is that they’ll sell the bottles to the turtles. The turtles are gonna have to work to earn it. For dozens of millions of years they’ve been freeloading, receiving handouts from the sea. They’re finally gonna contribute to the economy.
thefartographer@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
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.
GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 weeks ago
Not if you’re a sea turtle. They eat jelly fish and are immune to their venom
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Also imagine being in the water with all those jellyfish the turtle didn’t eat.
Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 5 weeks ago
The answer seems obvious. Introduce the turtles to Kraft Mac and Cheese. Its better than jellyfish and still comes in a paperboard box.
turtlepower@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
Mac and cheese? How do you not know turtles love pizza?
Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 5 weeks ago
The ones that moved to NYC, maybe. But no one likes soggy, salt-watered crust.
TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Be a rebel by also doing your best to avoid the trash in the first place.
LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 5 weeks ago
And most importantly, work to disassemble the systems that normalize and support the production of the wasteful and toxic materials we now call trash.
thefartographer@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
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.
