Why wait for climate change when you can just pick off chunks and bring them to a desert -__-

Rich people sicken me.
Literally and on purpose, because it’s profitable
Mmmm it’s like playing the lottery but if you win you get to be patient zero for the ancient virus that ends up wiping out humanity.
That’s why I only drink 151 on the rocks.
This is going to be how the zombie virus comes about. Someone ingests a million year old virus that becomes infectious and boom, we got new COVID.
COVIID
COVID 2: Synaptic Boogaloo
We already had a novel one, so is the next one going to be neo COVID or cyber COVID or what? Or just new COVID, like new Coke?
Vanilla Cov.

I for one welcome our new puzzle solving robot overlords.
Gimme that ✨prehistoric bacteria✨
It’s environmentally friendly because they don’t waste energy to freeze the water. It’s already frozen! /s
So while the rest of us are worrying about shrinking glaciers, Dubai is actively ice mining glaciers and shipping them to the middle of the desert so rich people can have fancy cocktails. Out-fucking-standing.
No, this is exported by Greenland.
They’re using only chunks that have already separated, transporting it on outgoing cargo ships that are already empty and it becomes one of the few export products for Greenland.
Weird idea, but there are a few redeeming points if you look at the full story.
Okay, that’s a lot less troubling than I expected. Thanks for the clarification.
I’m cool with it in that state. But my concern here is that while it starts out innocent, if demand increases, it’s only a matter of time until they start mining it and chartering more ships to transport it. Especially in an economy like Greenland’s.
This same pattern has been followed a thousand times in the past. Lots of instances of abusing our natural resources start out innocently.
It’s okay, I can only imagine the 10,000 year old bacteria those guys are gonna be drinking with that ice when it thaws, it all balances out.
*100,000 year old bacteria. It’s never infected any human being!
Little bit of salt and lemon sounds nice with it
“Yeah our ice is mined in… uh… Greenland. That will be $200”
“Dumbass”
Had to ask myself what kind of bars they even had on Dubai. Apparently they don’t take the alcohol thing as seriously as I thought.
It’s Dubai bro…
“Yeah, I’m still drinking what used to be piss, but at least it wasn’t human piss. Because ewwies. Right, barkeep?”
Barkeep: (two thumbs up) (how the fuck should I know)
My bar serves water wayyy older than that.
So this is how the Arctic plague begins
Look at that punchable face, just waiting to become 3x its current size
Is this the most ridiculous bullshit I will read all day?
I sure hope so, but I doubt it…
It is not, but only because I read quite a bit of ridiculous bullshit. I’m looking at you, Congressional Republicans.
Full of heady goodness
