unless you're a leading figure or part of a belligerent group involved in the conflict, I doubt Wikipedia will include you

pst, milk is amongst the worst chemicals to put in freshwater. it'll remove all the oxygen and result on a very stinky swamp.

i'm lactating as hard as a can doctor, just like, it's not very effective

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 3 points 2 days ago

I'm still on the winning side, though.

What if this turned out to be how evil plant alien people made themselves known. By mind controlling algea in a big pool.

[–] Oisteink@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

They’re already in Washington. They’ve been spotted along both coasts for quite some time.. planning? Scheming? I don’t know the answers; all I have are questions. Questions and facts!

That's what the Algae Mother wants us to think. Those of us who know the truth wait in both reverie and terror for the day her bloom smothers us all.

Maybe Iran will step in to block algae traffic in the reflecting pool.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

God I hope not. I'm already paying exorbitant prices for algae.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

Shit, I’ve forgotten to buy spirulina for so long that It’s gone out of fashion. I don’t even know where to look without buying it online.

[–] nanometer1625@thelemmy.club 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Algae's victory is inexorable. After humans are gone, there will still be algae in the reflecting pool.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Even better: It'll return to the wetland that was there before it was developed. i find the idea that this prominent spot will likely be the first such pond in the district to sprout cattails and the like, somewhat poetic.

Edit: I also just realized that the "drain the swamp" crowd is now in a losing battle with said swamp.

[–] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Aww, I was really hoping this was real.

Never ask an Aussie about the war on emus and never ask an United Statesian about algae or some shit

[–] Bonje@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (4 children)

The algae might even have nuclear capabilities

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Missing a picture of the National Guard, nationally guarding the not sure what exactly at the reflecting pool

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Well, we're talking about this random inconsequential bullshit, so I guess they're actually winning.

[–] traxex@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

For as fucking miserable as it is on a nearly daily basis, I’m okay with actually having a laugh about something so beyond stupid.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It’s the consequences of incompetence and shortcuts by some of the most arrogant assholes. It’s highly satisfying

They couldn’t even complete a simple task …. That should never even been in theirnattention

Why didn't they use chlorine?

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 10 points 2 days ago

The reflecting pool is supplied with water from the Tidal Basin. It’s not really possible to chlorinate it.

What's funny to me is that the algae problems started when they switched off of DC tap water and installed the pump system that draws in Potomac River water. Back in 2011-2012. Before Trump was ever a politician.

[–] Hapankaali@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Trump has been a politician since the 1980s. He ran in the 2000 US presidential election.

i mean if he's been a politician since the 80s i've been one since the Aughts. All i've done is build a few homeless shelters and parks and make sure the food banks were well supplied. Highest office i held was being on the executive board of the corporation that ran all that shit. That's good politics if you ask me.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

And before Trump gave his pool guy 14 million dollars to fix it.

Not really a pool person but would it be better to apply white or red (and look like a stripe on the flag) or would it be better to make it a lighter Cyan and, while combating the algae, the added light green makes the end result a blueish shade?
