    If I was a hungry sea turtle, I would simply eat the jellyfish instead of the plastic.

      If I was a hungry sea turtle, I’d open the jars to check which one of them has jellyfish inside.

      And most importantly, work to disassemble the systems that normalize and support the production of the wasteful and toxic materials we now call trash.

        Are you suggesting that we should burn down companies and factories? Cuz I’d never agree to meet you at a specific time and place so that we could disassemble the means of production and effectively delete entire toxic cogs of the economy.

        In fact, tell me precisely where and when you plan on meeting so that I can definitely avoid you.

          i would NEVER suggest burning down factories, as those can be quite easily reconfigured to produce useful things or simply be converted into quite nice neighbourhoods.

    How do the turtles open the jars?

    This is fucked up, the scientists ought to know turtles can’t operate jars.

    The answer seems obvious. Introduce the turtles to Kraft Mac and Cheese. Its better than jellyfish and still comes in a paperboard box.

      The soft calls of the quetzals wake you. You’re finally free. The idea of ragebaiting and news of the American Election Cycle is nowhere to be found.

      The warm Caribbean sun shines on your shell, maybe a bit too warmly. Time for a dip in the ocean and maybe a light snack.

    It’s really easy to tell the difference. The jellyfish is the one that hurts you immediately when you try to swallow it and the plastic bag is the one that causes problems in 1.5-3 minutes with catastrophic problems around 10 minutes.

      Not if you’re a sea turtle. They eat jelly fish and are immune to their venom

    I mean I can tell the jellyfish apart from the plastic bag in this example, so maybe those turtles just need glasses.

      To be fair, we currently have an overpopulation of jellyfish due to both the decline of turtles and raising sea temperatures, so if anything, this is helping.
