Well, if all it takes is 6 kg, I don’t think it would be that hard to make like a few tons and fly around the world throwing a kg at a time into any body of water you find.

Sure, you wouldn’t kill everyone, but probably most 🤷‍♂️

I think about 96% of mammal biomass is either humans or domestic animals so if we ignore the 4% wild animals it suddenly because a much easier task.

Like, throwing enough botulinum toxin into the ocean to kill all the whales would be annoying.

    More likely 10-15% of people die then everyone figures out it’s the water, identified the cause of death, develops filters to remove the toxin, and then the filter becomes commercialized.

    Like the first half of the movie is just what you would expect from a batman movie, but then after thousands die and batman catches the villan it just conintues into a documentary about how this event eventully led to the “2026 Water protection law” and the political fights around it.
