Every single Shrimp I have ever seen is face first in cocktail sauce, so I assume that is what they eat.

Residency Evil posted:Would be genuinely fascinated to learn about how a suburban shrimp farm works. What do you feed them with? How do you filter the water? How salty does the water have to be? What happens when the enemy that you lured in to your garage falls in? I’d wonder if, even barring misadventure, the salinity of the water would present an issue when emptied into the plumbing or municipal wastewater system.

I'm pretty sure shrimp farms still need to be bigger than a standard suburban house to function.

I went to a friend's house for NYE and they were just having a gathering of people from the neighborhood outside due to omicron. I overheard a 50+ year old bro general contractor dressed in teenager's clothes and a ~40's snooty software bro talking non-stop for about an hour about AMC, GME, hedgies, BTC and doge. I knew that poo poo was laughable prior to going, but that sure put a (highly punchable) face on the "apes" of r/wsb.

Farmed seafood produced a ton of fish/shrimp/etc poo poo. Negligible at the level of the individual animal with enough space but something you have to worry about once you cram a bunch of them into a farm situation. Pollution from real fish farms is a real issue for this reason and fucks up a lot of water. There are responsible ways to handle it. There’s a dude in TFR with a fish raising Siri atom where he filters the water and uses it as fertilizer or something on the giant garden he has running. But somehow I suspect shrimp bro is just dumping the water. One also wonders what the electricity (water cycling and oxygenation if nothing else) and water consumption is like and how/if that affects anything with the landlord.

Most members of the prawn family are filter feeders, and they clean the water & eat their food by passing water through their fan-like appendages  That's right; these prawn stars need only fans

The hotel was next to a Walmart. In the very back of the parking lot, next to the hotel, a man with a van was hucking walking sticks and dubious seafood.

Phanatic posted:The only thing stopping me from loving this is that errant apostrophe. I thought the apostrophe is what makes it perfect. Reminds me of how most spam email has a bunch of typos and poor punctuation that still reads fairly well. Smart people will notice the mistakes and ignore the spam (and not waste any of the scammer's time), but the people who are dumb enough to not notice them are exactly the people that the scammer wants to attract. They're just filtering out who they advertise to, it's brilliant.

What you do is have a shrimp farm, a clam farm, and a seaweed farm all in one contained ecosystem! Definitely foolproof.

Negligible at the level of the individual animal with enough space but something you have to worry about once you cram a bunch of them into a farm situation. Just having that much open tank water in the house is going to cause damage to the house from the humidity levels it will create unless he has a massive dehumidifying system. If anything breaks, the house will probably have to be gutted from water damage. Most pet leases specify the maximum size of an aquarium you're allowed to have for those reasons. Water consumption is very commonly paid by the landlord as well so there's that.

He says he wasn't using much power. I think we must be wrong about the size because two "average aboveground pools" wouldn't fit into a garage, let alone a townhouse garage. I wonder whether he means two kiddie pools? I would eat neighbor shrimp though

One of our neighbors has a tulsi (holy basil) plant that they absolutely baby. It lives on a cart which they wheel out onto the balcony on nice days. The rest of the time it's just inside the sliding glass door with a bright lamp pointed right at it. Somehow it still looks like it is just barely holding on to life.

Chances are they're not fertilizing it and/or it needs better light. That said I've just got garbage peasant Sweet Basil and I'm pretty sure I'd have to go out of my way to kill it at this point.

My basil would always get to big and eventually get to be more a shrub and not as good. If you want bees to go nuts plant that African Blue Basil hybrid. I probably have 50+ bees at a time feeding off of it. Checked in on r/Superstonk. Top rated was a post by someone studying charts proving that the stock was "going to the moon on/or around the 25th of January".
