damn… does this count? like generally we want to avoid plastic cups in the ocean, but would it be bad to take something like this from say, a hermit crab? if we take the cup where will it go? chances are out will just end up somewhere else it shouldn’t but this time without being made use of by crabs. my knee jerk reaction was to say animals using plastics don’t count, but that’s clearly not true when we reuse garbage intentionally to create animal habitat like artificial reefs. can we really say that only humans have the capacity to reuse their own garbage effectively?

Our trash is going to be an inferior product, I would imagine. Petroleum-based, breaks down into microplastic particles. Might not offer the same protection of the harder shell, either in hardness or camouflage from predators.

Obviously, this raises a new question. Is it a big deal to litter titanium shells? Properly anodized for camouflage, of course. :)

Plastic cups are not good protection for animals that use shells. These divers dont forcefully take the cup shell either. They’ll happily give up their plastic cups for the new shells being offered as long as they like it. Then the plastic cup is thrown away.

There’s a difference from scientists trying to make artificial reefs (which even then like the tire reef fiasco turned out to be a terrible idea) and random trash being picked up and used by the local wildlife.

Don’t know why you’re getting downvotes, Twitter is literally run by an Apartheid fanboy, with various racist incidents and aspects to him.

Musk sucks.

Catching strays from the people still on Twitter, angry at being reminded that in doing so what/whose purpose they are being made to serve?

Or people who think “yeah it is, but this is clearly an innocuous post, and it being reposted here actually has very little to do with the political leanings of the other platform’s owner, so this comment feels out of place. Seems more like a reply to ‘twitter is good’ than ‘hey look at this octopus and funni caption.’ Sort of a non-sequitur, outside of being tangentially related due to it being a screencap.”
