I hate to be that person, but what's this new Lemmy trend of posting Twitter screenshots without the link to the original article?
I don't care about some snarky Twitter commenter, I want to see the Octopus make a friend.
Friend, these are mass-reposted screenshots. The original article(s) may not even exist anymore, and any screenshot could be a decade old or more at this point.
If this is a decades old screenshot, it's in pretty good condition! Doesn't seem too moldy to me.
I love ones that are so reposted they have no blank white space left, it's all artifacts and noise.
Fuck anyone that links to Twitter /x.
Do we get to go to the cinema first?
Its a trend since day one.
Their hat/house is literally trash though.
It is now! It was reuse, one of the best Rs in reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
damn... does this count? like generally we want to avoid plastic cups in the ocean, but would it be bad to take something like this from say, a hermit crab? if we take the cup where will it go? chances are it will just end up somewhere else it shouldn't, but this time without being made use of by crabs. my knee jerk reaction was to say animals using plastics don't count, but that's clearly not true when we reuse garbage intentionally to create animal habitat like artificial reefs. can we really say that only humans have the capacity to reuse their own garbage effectively?
Plastic cups are not good protection for animals that use shells. These divers dont forcefully take the cup shell either. They'll happily give up their plastic cups for the new shells being offered as long as they like it. Then the plastic cup is thrown away.
There's a difference from scientists trying to make artificial reefs (which even then like the tire reef fiasco turned out to be a terrible idea) and random trash being picked up and used by the local wildlife.
Our trash is going to be an inferior product, I would imagine. Petroleum-based, breaks down into microplastic particles. Might not offer the same protection of the harder shell, either in hardness or camouflage from predators.
Obviously, this raises a new question. Is it a big deal to litter titanium shells? Properly anodized for camouflage, of course. :)
It’s thrifted be nice
Stole it he did! He tricks me into looking at another model, and the minute I has me back turned, he makes off with me favorite ‘at!
This almost sounded like if was going to be smeagle complaining he got ripped off at a used car dealership

This sounds like a failed check in Disco Elysium
