Nah we need to dump a bunch of salt and put in that red salt loving bacteria.

Get the 10 plagues of trump going

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

Btw, Epstein files.

[–] fireweed@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Tadpoles.

The ensuing frog plague upon the capital would be a nice little bonus.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

On the plus side, no more mosquitoes!

[–] fireweed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Oh no, that's a separate treatment: salamander larvae. Fortunately they cohabitate with tadpoles quite harmoniously.

I will dress up as moses and scare the shit out of hegseth

Just accept your inner American and make it a car park.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Drag strip for jet skis, let's gooooo

No not the mall at DC, one of the only car-free places in the USA along with Disney World

[–] dalekcaan@feddit.nl 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Only because the cars at Disney World get their own park

I'm voting for the introduction of shrimp and silver carp!

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Oyster Farm has my vote

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago
  • Start aquaculture farm in reflecting pool

  • Raise the shittiest shrimp in the universe

  • Brand them Freedom 250 Prawns

  • Let business partners buy them at huge markup

This is all so easy

Rewilding that ugly pool area would be an amazing project.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago (2 children)

While I get what you’re putting down, the reflecting pool is (in the not shitty timeline) actually a beautiful piece of art.

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The idea behind it is beautiful. But it's always been sorta ugly and shitty. Trump just took it from a meh 6/10 to a SOILD 2/10.

But the entire point of monuments is the ideas, concepts and representation. Not the actual piece it self.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am just amazed he didn't paint TRUMP on the bottom.

[–] sulgoth@lemmy.ca 1 points 22 hours ago

I doubt he’d go that far. He’d paint it directly on the spire, much more visible.

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

Why not add some secondary side pools joined by underground channels with some very gentle induced flow beneath the surface? Those side pools could act like like living filters and bring some wildlife to boot.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Is this trump's the Green New Deal?

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

Well his Iran war resulted in more purchases of solar panels globally than anything any other President has ever done.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Maintain the Swamp

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Why? Water temperature

[–] corbindallas@fedinsfw.app 20 points 2 days ago (3 children)

empty it, pave it over, make a ballroom

another

platinum plated with titanium studs and diamon glass

it's just our childrens futures, who the fuck cares

clearly no fucking body

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’m thinking we replace it with a 2,000 foot long AI generated portrait of obama performing lewd acts on trump, and then for the next 100 years we can have a news cycle about democrats wasting money whenever someone suggests restoring it to the original monument

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (7 children)

The USA still being a thing in 100 years is taking a lot for granted.

Trump should be praised for using the reflecting pool to bloom algae. it's forward thinking of him to leverage a biological solution to the carbon greenhouse gas problem and attempt to replenish oxygen in the atmosphere at the same time!

such a stable genius!

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 9 points 2 days ago (3 children)

What about crabs and snails that clean the surface

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

fuck yeah crabs i changed my mind from pampasgrass

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

Real Americans go crabbing. Now it's a national icon.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Release mosquitoes to pollinate the reeds.

amber waves

[–] OldGrayDog@fedinsfw.app 6 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Instead of dumping chemicals in the pool, they should put a couple thousand algae eating fish in there like you put in your fish tank. Maybe a few goldfish cause old drumpf loves gold things.

[–] iocase@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah that's honestly a gigantic missed opportunity. Make it into a massive carp or koi pond...

Dumping chemicals in the reflecting pool meant to, you know, reflect who you are as a person and as a nation, is too fitting for this administration.

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

and like, you can just use 25 cent feeder goldfish. legitimately the local japanese restaurant wanted to buy ours (we were friends with their sushi chef) to use in their koi pond in their restaurant (or just take home) because once they're big, only an expert can tell the difference. a koi is a pretty goldfish basically. ours were named breakfast, lunch, and dinner because our pet oscar refused to eat them and we thought naming them after meals was darkly appropriate and might encourage him to eat them. it worked once., but not twice and then the fish were bigger than him. ours were the size of my foot. or forearm. same size.

At this point I'm surprised Trump isn't proposing that we make our flag colors red, white, and algae green.

[–] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

That's Iran's flag 1
