How much of the plastic is on the surface anyway?
Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good. Yes, we’re picking up small organisms, but we also need to get the plastic cleaned up.
And more importantly, stop making the problem worse constantly.
Also, correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t these robots about getting garbage out of the water ? Sure they might pick up some organisms but I assume the vast majority of the ones big enough to actually get picked up can easily escape, and the smaller ones just pass whatever filters it has and get thrown out with the water
Why are you using your assumption checking machine to broadcast your assumptions instead of, idk, checking them?
Because I estimated that my time was better spent doing something other than trying to guess what robot this comic is referencing and researching a decent source explaining how that robot actually works and risking being wrong anyway because what the fuck do I know about robots and marine biology
This is asinine. It’s not either or.
There’s a difference between stopping contributing to a problem, and fixing the problem.
I can stop throwing clothes on the floor of my room, that doesn’t magically make the existing clothes disappear.
Despite all appearances to the contrary, this is supposed to be funny.
The artist is from Germany, if that helps to explain why the humour is entirely theoretical.
This comment was funnier than the comic.
