Al-Gayda

It’s how gay that algae is that makes it extra evil

[–] IEatDaFeesh@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

First the frogs now the algae 😞

He wasn't kidding about the swamp.

Import emus who will eat algae and then nuke the White House to get rid of emus. Problem solved!

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

That!

It was just a matter of crowdsourcing it a bit, until somebody came out with a more practical solution than aluminum sulfate.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 month ago

The emus seem a bit redundant

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Whoever does those signs through Orinda is always on fire and they’re always so consistently topical.

[–] pbjelly@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hah! I knew I recognized that pedestrian bridge!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i was gonna say, i thought i saw them putting this one up over the weekend. i was disappointed i only got to see "HE CAN'T EVEN WI" but i knew it was going to be a banger

[–] Quantenteilchen@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do these kinds of signs usually get put up all at once by a person/a small team or do they have to do that over multiple nights since it's technically not allowed?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

What I've seen: when it's cups in chain link it seems to be a team, when it's a sign like this it might be a team or it might be just one or two people. But like, it's really not hard or time consuming to zip tie some tarps onto a chain link fence. And if you get them in order beforehand, it should go damn smooth. Have someone down the road parked who can call you if you put up a letter out of order and you really should only need two people

It was like, 5pm or something idk I was tired from the beach when I drove by though. They were actively putting it up

Now that you've made me think through the logistics though, and I know where all the flucks are in town...

Admin! Right here, admin!! I found another one of them flagella grabbers. And he seems proud of it too 🤮

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

ADMIN! I feel unsafe in this pool with that flagellite! All grabbing flagella and talking about it.

What you do in your own houseboat with your own algae, i don't care. Just don't wave it around in public and don't expect me to solemnize any kind of marriage to it.

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Baby Jesus was crystal clear as mountain lake water about this! It's a SIN! Even in your room, Jesus WILL be WATCHING and JUDGING ✝️

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

yeah baby jesus is kinda freaky about flagella. don't know what happened to that kid.

[–] suxen_tsihcrana@anarchist.nexus 4 points 1 month ago

His dad could be a real asshole sometimes

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

Someone might have grabbed his flagellas. You hear that all the time!

Careful or he will nuke the algae

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That... That could actually work though... 😶

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I am not sure if it would or not. You might end up with more algae in a bigger hole.

Until the algae comes back, having mutated into in some super algae that will thrive under those conditions. Then what?

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

We'll have Supertrump coming to the rescue? :)

And yes, autocorrect, Supertramp was a way better nickname, but nobody would've understood it 😉

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just watched the new Baki on Netflix this weekend and Trump is a character in it and one of the badass dudes makes him piss himself. It was fantastic. Except they called him Tranp.

It's only one scene but it's an awesome show either way.

blue algae entered the chat

:: Now listen here you little sheit!! 😡 (starts shooting)

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

red tide syndrome entered the chat

:: now shit here you little 🦀

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To be fair, as someone who's fought algae for years, I can attest that it's fucking hard to do.

But I lost the battle for way less than 300 million dollars.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago (3 children)
[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Both are true regarding my battle with algae.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

GIVE THIS CHILI DOG 300 BILLION MORE DOLLARS THERES A WAR ON

Ok, 300 Ba-million dollars

Honestly, throwing money in the pond would probably work. Specifically pennies. Dissolve enough copper and you'll have a vivid blue reflecting pool that also happens to be toxic to algae (and most other life forms).

Pennies are now made of zinc.

Algae survived the biggest disasters the planet ever has seen. Don't underestimate algae. It will be your death.

[–] skittle07crusher@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Allow me to introduce algae to 2026 and… Nazi trillioniares

It was those witches again. They cursed the national Mall to remain green until the unredacted Epstein files are released and the child rapists finally face justice.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

and blessed. any growth of nature is a blessing.

Is that northbound 101 out of San Luis Obispo?

[–] GorGor@startrek.website 4 points 1 month ago

Its highway 24 eastbound looking at the overpass of El Curtola Blvd. You can see Mt Diablo in the background.

37°53'52.0"N 122°05'10.8"W

If you look at the google street view it has a different message (you have to get close): "Dear Iran hes in Florida Love CA". They are there a lot.
