• Giant seaweed blob takes aim at Florida

    From Technobarbarian@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 13 15:42:20 2023
    "Giant seaweed blob twice the width of the US takes aim at Florida"

    "TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Marine scientists are tracking a 5,000-mile-wide seaweed bloom that is so large, it can be seen from space.

    These sargassum blooms are nothing new, but scientists say this one could be the largest in history. At last check, it was heading toward Florida’s Gulf coast.

    The thick mat of algae drifts between the Atlantic coast of Africa and the Gulf of Mexico, providing habitat for marine life and absorbing carbon dioxide, but it can also wreak havoc when when it gets closer to shore. It blocks light from reaching coral
    and negatively impacts air and water quality as it decomposes."

    I love that unit of measure. "Can be seen from space." This sounds like a great horror movie. "The seaweed blob that ate the East coast", while California is being washed back into the sea. I'm sure it's probably some sort of divine retribution.

    If it's the largest one in history, then it's a Trump Blob, and he's
    trying to distract DeSantis.
    But the real question is, can it be harvested, deep-fried, and fed to
    the unhomed in Portland? Or maybe it can be solar dried, sprayed with
    Rain-X and woven into ecotents?

    I think the real question is how a blob of seaweed can take aim. Must
    have an assault sniper scope. In any event, DeSaintless will just ban it.

    In that case DeSantis just has to plop in front of Trump Towers, and forget about the Eco tents.

    Maybe it's seaweed that escaped a secret gain-of-function lab

    At least he won't close schools near the beach and make people wear a

    Blobist isn't the right word for someone who is prejudiced against blobs. That would be a shapist. Blobist sounds more like a blob nationalist.

    If it's the largest one in history, then it's a Trump

    fed to the unhomed in Portland? Or maybe it can be
    solar dried, sprayed with Rain-X and woven into
    ecotents?


    I think the real question is how a blob of seaweed can
    take aim. Must have an assault sniper scope.
    Maybe it's seaweed that escaped a secret gain-of-function
    lab submerged in the Sargasso Sea and now it's
    self-identified sentient self-steering seeweed.
    In any event, DeSaintless will just ban it.
    At least he won't close schools near the beach and make
    people wear a mask. -- bill Theory don't mean squat if it

    Once the blob of icky, sticky, stinky, goo goo, washes up

    "Sargassum: Not Just for Breakfast Any More"

    "As one might expect Sargassum species vary in taste and texture so there is no one way to cook your local species. It takes experimentation. More so, among seaweeds Sargassum is not a prime edible but a plentiful one. Slightly bitter, one might call it
    an acquired taste, then again all tastes are acquired except that for sugar. As Asian countries have the most experience with eating seaweed, most of the approaches have an Oriental spin.

    Some Sargassums are consumed fresh, others cooked in coconut milk or a little vinegar or lemon juice. It is smoked-dried to preserve it. Sargassum is also eaten by itself or added to fish and meat dishes. If not strong it can be added to salads after
    washing, or it can be cooked in water like a vegetable. If the Sargassum is strong flavored it can be boiled in two changes of water. Some recipes then call for it to be mixed with brown sugar and used as a filling in steamed buns but it could be eaten
    as is."

    What a great, & lucrative idea! Who'd have ever thunk of such a perfect solution to a problem of beach goo, through enterprising capitalism! Too bad, that YKW never gave you a shot on "The Apprentice"? You would have shined like diamond in a goat's
    ass! HawHawHaw!

    The problem is, most folks, besides snobbish, YUPPY, foodies, would be abhorred by eating anything named sargassum.... I've tried to choke down a few "meat substitutes", myself, the only passable one I've found was soy chorizo, when mixed into the
    right ratio of eggs....

    Perhaps Sargassum, could be force fed to Florida's convicts, for awhile, before it was declared "cruel & unusual punishment", by some sob sister, court, but your plan doesn't really have "legs" to get beyond a brief "fad"... As you know, foodies,
    are always on the scout for the very latest victual in-waiting.....

    However, I think "Sargassum" might have a great deal of possibility, as a new trend in stock feed?

    I am, in a small way, a foodie. So I got to wondering if you could
    eat it. It turns out that you can and sargassum is frequently eaten
    in many places. Well heck there's the solution to many problems. Instead of being eaten by the blob, Florida should eat the blob. At one time lobsters were sometimes fed to prisoners in jails because
    it was considered cheap poor man's food, and the prisoners
    complained. Let them eat sargassum. They could feed it to bth
    instead of spaghettis when he's too feeble to feed himself. He wouldn't know the difference.
    So look. Here's the deal. I'm not feeble yet (I don't even, like, fall down stairs, much less up them) but my taste buds are unfairly disadvantaged, and so I probably wouldn't know the difference right
    now - particularly if it was, like, efficaciously aesthetically processed.
    They say it's an acquired taste. I'm sure you'll learn to love it. It's sort of your civic duty to help save the east coast.

    "Sargassum: Not Just for Breakfast Any More"

    "As one might expect Sargassum species vary in taste and texture so there is no one way to cook your local species. It takes experimentation. More so, among seaweeds Sargassum is not a prime edible but a plentiful one. Slightly bitter, one might call
    it an acquired taste, then again all tastes are acquired except that for sugar. As Asian countries have the most experience with eating seaweed, most of the approaches have an Oriental spin.

    Some Sargassums are consumed fresh, others cooked in coconut milk or a little vinegar or lemon juice. It is smoked-dried to preserve it. Sargassum is also eaten by itself or added to fish and meat dishes. If not strong it can be added to salads after
    washing, or it can be cooked in water like a vegetable. If the Sargassum is strong flavored it can be boiled in two changes of water. Some recipes then call for it to be mixed with brown sugar and used as a filling in steamed buns but it could be eaten
    as is."

    What a great, & lucrative idea! Who'd have ever thunk of such a perfect solution to a problem of beach goo, through enterprising capitalism! Too bad, that YKW never gave you a shot on "The Apprentice"? You would have shined like diamond in a goat's ass!
    HawHawHaw!

    The problem is, most folks, besides snobbish, YUPPY, foodies, would be abhorred by eating anything named sargassum.... I've tried to choke down a few "meat substitutes", myself, the only passable one I've found was soy chorizo, when mixed into the
    right ratio of eggs....

    Perhaps Sargassum, could be force fed to Florida's convicts, for awhile, before it was declared "cruel & unusual punishment", by some sob sister, court, but your plan doesn't really have "legs" to get beyond a brief "fad"... As you know, foodies, are
    always on the scout for the very latest victual in-waiting.....

    However, I think "Sargassum" might have a great deal of possibility, as a new trend in stock feed?

    Don Draper Jr.

    I like the idea of feeding it to farm animals, but I'm not ready to give up on feeding it to people. All you have to do is start feeding it to kids when they're small. They will start thinking of it as real food, the same way kids think
    McDonalds sells real hamburgers. Dry it out. Coat it with sugar and put it in a cereal box. They'll eat it up. Most of the people in France used to think corn was only suitable for cattle feed. In Mexico "poor man's meats" have been a popular food trend
    for many decades because people got used to that stuff and want more.

    You have found one more edible meat substitute than I have. I haven't tried the newest examples because I don't see the point. If it costs more than meat, why not eat meat?

    4chan Jr.

    We groom kids all the time. Nobody pays attention or calls it grooming when it's the traditional messages, like get a job and get married. Sugar coated sargassum probably has more nutrition than what they're eating now. They probably aren't eating
    sargassum now because it's more expensive to make into cereal than flour or corn.

    Our generation was probably the first one that was "groomed" to be environmentalists. Most people didn't pay much attention to the subject until we started taking it seriously. Ironically our environmental "grooming" started with an introduction to
    John J. Audubon. The local chapter of the Audubon Society decided to drop the name because they don't think he was a good environmentalist. They haven't figured out a new name yet.

    "The National Audubon Society’s namesake looms large, like his celebrated bird paintings. But he also enslaved people and held white supremacist views, reflecting ethical failings that it is time to bring to the fore."

    I am, in a small way, a foodie. So I got to wondering
    if you could eat it. It turns out that you can and
    sargassum is frequently eaten in many places. Well heck
    there's the solution to many problems. Instead of being
    eaten by the blob, Florida should eat the blob. At one
    time lobsters were sometimes fed to prisoners in jails
    because it was considered cheap poor man's food, and
    the prisoners complained. Let them eat sargassum. They
    could feed it to bth instead of spaghettis when he's
    too feeble to feed himself. He wouldn't know the
    difference.
    So look. Here's the deal. I'm not feeble yet (I don't
    even, like, fall down stairs, much less up them) but my
    taste buds are unfairly disadvantaged, and so I probably
    wouldn't know the difference right now - particularly if

    What a great, & lucrative idea! Who'd have ever thunk of such
    a perfect solution to a problem of beach goo, through
    enterprising capitalism! Too bad, that YKW never gave you a
    shot on "The Apprentice"? You would have shined like diamond
    in a goat's ass! HawHawHaw!

    The problem is, most folks, besides snobbish, YUPPY, foodies,
    would be abhorred by eating anything named sargassum.... I've
    tried to choke down a few "meat substitutes", myself, the
    only passable one I've found was soy chorizo, when mixed into
    the right ratio of eggs....

    Perhaps Sargassum, could be force fed to Florida's convicts,
    for awhile, before it was declared "cruel & unusual
    punishment", by some sob sister, court, but your plan doesn't
    really have "legs" to get beyond a brief "fad"... As you
    know, foodies, are always on the scout for the very latest
    victual in-waiting.....

    However, I think "Sargassum" might have a great deal of
    possibility, as a new trend in stock feed?

    Don Draper Jr.
    I like the idea of feeding it to farm animals, but I'm not
    ready to give up on feeding it to people. All you have to do is
    start feeding it to kids when they're small. They will start
    thinking of it as real food, the same way kids think McDonalds
    sells real hamburgers. Dry it out. Coat it with sugar and put
    it in a cereal box. They'll eat it up. Most of the people in
    France used to think corn was only suitable for cattle feed. In
    Mexico "poor man's meats" have been a popular food trend for
    many decades because people got used to that stuff and want
    more.

    You have found one more edible meat substitute than I have. I
    haven't tried the newest examples because I don't see the
    point. If it costs more than meat, why not eat meat?

    TB
    So, you plan to groom innocent children's palates into eating
    their Sargassum, by adding sugar to the booger ugly blob of gook?
    Jeezus! I guess the conspiracies go way deeper than anything in
    MTG's feeble philosophy?

    4chan Jr.

    We groom kids all the time. Nobody pays attention or calls it
    grooming when it's the traditional messages, like get a job and get
    married. Sugar coated sargassum probably has more nutrition than
    what they're eating now. They probably aren't eating sargassum now
    because it's more expensive to make into cereal than flour or
    corn.

    Our generation was probably the first one that was "groomed" to be environmentalists. Most people didn't pay much attention to the
    subject until we started taking it seriously. Ironically our
    environmental "grooming" started with an introduction to John J.
    Audubon. The local chapter of the Audubon Society decided to drop
    the name because they don't think he was a good environmentalist.
    They haven't figured out a new name yet.

    "The National Audubon Society’s namesake looms large, like his celebrated bird paintings. But he also enslaved people and held
    white supremacist views, reflecting ethical failings that it is
    time to bring to the fore."

    https://www.audubon.org/news/the-myth-john-james-audubon

    damn. At the end of the day going forward in the passage of time, does
    that mean there are going to be non-violent movements to literally
    tear down statues, change the names of streets and places, shut down
    web pages, and remove Audubon apps from the Google Play Store?

    "The National Audubon Society, one of the most powerful bird conservation groups in the country, bucked critics Wednesday and elected to keep its name despite criticism from some groups in the birding community.

    CEO of the National Audubon Society Elizabeth Gray defended the decision in a press statement, explaining that the organization’s namesake, John James Audubon, was a naturalist and illustrator who made "an important contribution to the field of
    ornithology in the mid-19th century and there can be no doubt of the impact of his life’s work and passion for birds."

    The decision made by the board of directors, Gray wrote, was that "the organization transcends one person’s name.""

    Â I love that unit of measure. "Can be seen from space." This
    sounds
    like a great horror movie. "The seaweed blob that
    ate the East coast", while California is being
    washed back into the sea. I'm sure it's
    probably some sort of divine
    retribution.

    If it's the largest one in history, then it's a
    Trump Blob, and he's trying to distract DeSantis.
    But the real question is, can it be harvested,
    deep-fried, and fed to the unhomed in Portland? Or
    maybe it can be solar dried, sprayed with Rain-X
    and woven into ecotents?


    I think the real question is how a blob of seaweed
    can take aim. Must have an assault sniper scope.
    Maybe it's seaweed that escaped a secret
    gain-of-function lab submerged in the Sargasso Sea and
    now it's self-identified sentient self-steering
    seeweed.
    In any event, DeSaintless will just ban it.
    At least he won't close schools near the beach and
    make people wear a mask. -- bill Theory don't mean
    squat if it don't work.

    Once the blob of icky, sticky, stinky, goo goo, washes
    up the the beach, it will smell so bad, everyone in
    Florida will wear gas masks, voluntarily?

    Voluntarily is OK.

    The orange goon called it the Wuhan glue and says it'll all
    be over in a week. President Biden wants to give the
    Ukrainians 8,673 trillion dollars to help destroy it. MTG
    says it was Jewish space lasers that created it and that it
    hides untold numbers of abused children. Santos wants to
    dress up and dance on it. Josh Hawley wants to see how fast
    he can trot across it while being chased by tourists. Pox
    News says its what's left after you expose a Dominion voting
    machine to light. film...@gmail.com wonders if you can dry it
    and smoke it. TB's going to see if he can camp on it. bfh
    calls it spaghetti. JohnGeorge acknowledges it's smarter than
    he is.

    I am, in a small way, a foodie. So I got to wondering if you
    could eat it. It turns out that you can and sargassum is
    frequently eaten in many places. Well heck there's the solution
    to many problems. Instead of being eaten by the blob, Florida
    should eat the blob. At one time lobsters were sometimes fed to
    prisoners in jails because it was considered cheap poor man's
    food, and the prisoners complained. Let them eat sargassum.
    They could feed it to bth instead of spaghettis when he's too
    feeble to feed himself. He wouldn't know the difference.
    So look. Here's the deal. I'm not feeble yet (I don't even, like,
    fall down stairs, much less up them) but my taste buds are
    unfairly disadvantaged, and so I probably wouldn't know the
    difference right now - particularly if it was, like,
    efficaciously aesthetically processed.

    They say it's an acquired taste. I'm sure you'll learn to love it.
    It's sort of your civic duty to help save the east coast.

    As long as I don't have to wrap it around rice and SPAM. If some of it
    should make it this far up the river, maybe I'll try marinating it in
    Kraken.

    "Sargassum: Not Just for Breakfast Any More"

    "As one might expect Sargassum species vary in taste and texture so
    there is no one way to cook your local species. It takes
    experimentation.  More so, among seaweeds Sargassum is not a prime
    edible but a plentiful one. Slightly bitter, one might call it an
    acquired taste, then again all tastes are acquired except that for
    sugar. As Asian countries have the most experience with eating
    seaweed, most of the approaches have an Oriental spin.

    Some Sargassums are consumed fresh, others cooked in coconut milk
    or a little vinegar or lemon juice. It is smoked-dried to preserve
    it.  Sargassum is also eaten by itself or added to fish and meat
    dishes. If not strong it can be added to salads after washing, or
    it can be cooked in water like a vegetable. If the Sargassum is
    strong flavored it can be boiled in two changes of water. Some
    recipes then call for it to be mixed with brown sugar and used as a
    filling in steamed buns but it could be eaten as is."

    Perhaps bfh (and other like minded boonie campers) could keep wads of it
    for use at their catholes. Particularly in the event of another paper
    shortage.
