Oyster: Filters all the gross gunk from the ocean
Humans: I'm going to eat this oyster without cooking it, yes it is gross that's why there's hot sauce.
I also eat ass.
Same taste as oysters.
Again - hot sauce is available
oyster
hot sauce
stares at you motherfuckerly
Fuck the hot sauce, all you need is some cocktail sauce (with horseradish, not that tame ketchup shit) and it's good to go
Doesn't it usually go with vodka?
I have never heard of this, but I just looked it up and I guess i know what I'll be trying next time we're in oyster season
I will report back when it is done
This is a scam, ordered some and they don't tell you that it only works with salt water but I have dirty fresh water! Now stuck buying salt every day.
I got the same issue, but I solved it by building a desalination system at home. After the water is cleansed by the oyster, the water gets extracted leaving the salt behind which can be added to a new batch of fresh water. Saves me a few salt trips to the store.
The elctricity bill is a tad bit higher, but I plan to add wave generators to the oyster aquarium so I can extract power from there just by lowering and raising an inflated ball through the water line. Should also help disturbing any deposits in the tank
do the wave generators not need more electricity than the ball peoduces?
Im thinking of powering the wave generators with wood gas power, since Im already heating my house with wood fire I just need to starve the furnace of oxygen to make the gas appear. Mimor inconvenience with the added carbon monoxide and tar, but Im sure ill work it out
that sounds inconvient and inefficient to me. idk but couldn't you use a sterling engine to prpduce electricity from the heat like on the exhaust pipe or put like a rotoe into it or something? idk if there are ready made products like that
A sterling engine are awesome so thats a big plus!
If I swallow a live oyster, can I drink dirty water safely?
Technically if you swallow s live oyster you don't even need a kidney anymore
Are you expecting oysters to be poisonous?
I think they’re making the joke that you could outsource body filtration to the oyster.
I’m assuming you’d at least fuck your throat though, because it’s not staying alive without the shell
The stomach acid would probably kill the oyster as soon as it has opened the shell.
Yes. You probably shouldn’t actually try to outsource your kidney function to oysters
So now you tell me!
This is very disappointing
Gotta boof ‘em
Iirc, this is kinda how mitochondria might have become a thing. A living thing eating another living thing, and it become an organ
It is!
Do you have some special internal path for the oysters own waste product that doesn't interact or otherwise affect your other internal organs?
Where does the oyster poo go in the ocean?
Hopefully not inside the human body.
Turns out eating oysters straight off the rocks is not recommended. Like super duper not recommended.
I found this out after I managed to open one on the rocks and ate it :)
Yes
Finally, the answer I'm looking for. Brb
It'd be something if instead of flushing the toilet, an oyster could filter all that
Is that what the three seashells are?
Oh my god, after 30 years, this is it.
Three genetically enhanced oysters in their shells…
sounds like a scam! i bet if the water is too dirty the oyster is going to close and shut off the city's water supply
(it was clams but i cannot tell the difference between the two so)
Just pay separate shipping and handling!
There's always a catch 🎣.
ADD SEQUENCE
why do I want an oyster now?
because this is what's called effective marketing. Showing a product, showcasing it's results and giving you a way to buy said product
1-800 OYSTER is one digit short of a working number, dashing my dreams. 1-800 OYSTERS offered me a free medical alert device, but it is unknown at this time how many liters of water per day it can filter.
I only have 226 L of water, can I borrow 1 pls?
Im sure if everyone spits into your tub one time we can get there
Ty god bless
I tried dialing 800-OYSTER, but since it's only 6 digits, no call was initiated. Guess I'm stuck with these 227 liters of water...
Yeah… but it all goes in and out through one general purpose orifice 🤢
