Just pay separate shipping and handling!

There's always a catch 🎣.

sounds like a scam! i bet if the water is too dirty the oyster is going to close and shut off the city's water supply

(it was clams but i cannot tell the difference between the two so)

This is a scam, ordered some and they don't tell you that it only works with salt water but I have dirty fresh water! Now stuck buying salt every day.

[–] Droechai@piefed.blahaj.zone 16 points 13 hours ago

I got the same issue, but I solved it by building a desalination system at home. After the water is cleansed by the oyster, the water gets extracted leaving the salt behind which can be added to a new batch of fresh water. Saves me a few salt trips to the store.

The elctricity bill is a tad bit higher, but I plan to add wave generators to the oyster aquarium so I can extract power from there just by lowering and raising an inflated ball through the water line. Should also help disturbing any deposits in the tank

Oyster: Filters all the gross gunk from the ocean

Humans: I'm going to eat this oyster without cooking it, yes it is gross that's why there's hot sauce.

At the end of the day, both are full of microplastics.

Same taste as oysters.

oyster
hot sauce

stares at you motherfuckerly

[–] jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck the hot sauce, all you need is some cocktail sauce (with horseradish, not that tame ketchup shit) and it's good to go

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 2 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Doesn't it usually go with vodka?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Vodka and oysters?

Boogers seasoned with hospital smell? That's how I imagine it being, at least.

Edit gibe me dark rum and beef tartar instead

I have never heard of this, but I just looked it up and I guess i know what I'll be trying next time we're in oyster season

I will report back when it is done

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 32 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Is there a order limit? Because for undisclosed reasons I'm going to need a lot

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Did the front fall off?

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 12 points 14 hours ago

I see you, circa 2010 BP!

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 32 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It'd be something if instead of flushing the toilet, an oyster could filter all that

[–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 56 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Is that what the three seashells are?

[–] wuffah@lemmy.world 32 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Oh my god, after 30 years, this is it.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 4 points 15 hours ago

Three genetically enhanced oysters in their shells…

If I swallow a live oyster, can I drink dirty water safely?

[–] oneser@lemmy.zip 13 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Turns out eating oysters straight off the rocks is not recommended. Like super duper not recommended.

I found this out after I managed to open one on the rocks and ate it :)

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

So what was the outcome? Did you get all the diseases?

How is the hospital food?

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 16 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Do you have some special internal path for the oysters own waste product that doesn't interact or otherwise affect your other internal organs?

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 10 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Where does the oyster poo go in the ocean?

Hopefully not inside the human body.

Finally, the answer I'm looking for. Brb

ADD SEQUENCE

[–] ThatGuyNamedZeus@feddit.org 3 points 14 hours ago

They can be poisoned just the same as any other sea-creature, right? If the water is full of certain elements it will kill the oysters too, right?

[–] sausager@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

I only have 226 L of water, can I borrow 1 pls?

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 1 points 16 hours ago

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 0 points 13 hours ago

Yeah… but it all goes in and out through one general purpose orifice 🀒
