This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Just scientists studying the consequences of America's cocaine infested waters.

My question is, how drunk were they when someone was like "let's give cocaine to salmon and see what happens"

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 10 hours ago

Florida drunk. Because that's where literal cocaine sharks live.

I thought this was dumb at first, but then realised these researchers must have procured some lab-grade cocaine for testing purposes.

Imagine how far the salmon would have swam id they'd been given all the cocaine they said they did.

Seems like a waste of cocaine.
