    Save jellyfish by polluting the oceans with plastic

      Save the trees, eat the beavers!

    If I was a hungry sea turtle, I would simply eat the jellyfish instead of the 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.

      • thefartographer@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨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.

    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.

      Mac and cheese? How do you not know turtles love pizza?

      source
      • Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        The ones that moved to NYC, maybe. But no one likes soggy, salt-watered crust.

  • azi@mander.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

    source
  • Kolanaki@yiffit.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨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.

      Instructions unclear, I’m crying uncontrollably

  • Empricorn@feddit.nl ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Now imagine you’re a hungry sea turtle.

    I already do that every day. What’s next?

    source
    • PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨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.

      source
  • thefartographer@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Not if you’re a sea turtle. They eat jelly fish and are immune to their venom

  • telllos@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Lets make bags out of jellyfish!

    source
  • SiEstUbiEst@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Instead of shooting up schools imagine if Americans shot up industrial sources of litter

    source
    • PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      We had one of those near Buffalo NY.

      It was totally unrelated to litter, but…

    turtles eat jellyfish?

    source
    • thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yep for some species it’s their main food source

      source
      • ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        huh. live and learn.

        i guess for other species it’s pizza?

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

    source
    • TechieDamien@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨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.

      That would hurt tho

    Wow that’s gotta be a record for fastest evolutionary change in response to man made disasters. Good work jellyfish!

    source
  • hsdkfr734r@feddit.nl ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Turtle can open neither of them, because it’s missing those precious opposable thumbs.

  • MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Thats alot of semen

  • MF_COOM@hexbear.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Let the jellyfish out

    source
  • Sam_Bass@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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.

    source
  • poke@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Those sickos bottle up the food for the sea turtles and now they’re gonna starve!

    source
    • loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨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.

      source
  • brucethemoose@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

    source
  • lseif@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    bro if im hungry the last thing i want is a jellyfish

    source
    • Maetani@jlai.lu ⁨2⁩ ⁨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

      source
  • TachyonTele@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Easy. Replace the turtle with more plastic bags.

    source
  • Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Um, I think trying to swallow a whole bottle like that may present bigger problems

    source
  • madcaesar@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    People that litter are human trash.
