    This is like how corporations treat people on given issues

    Instead of lowering emissions, let’s throw our plastic in the ocean

    Instead of cutting off funding to anti-gay candidates, let’s sell rainbow clothing

      Sorry to rain on your parade, but that’s in a reef tank, dude. The lighting is quite specific to man made lights.

      Not to say that keeping a reef tank is the most ecologically responsible thing to do, but…

        I wasn’t claiming these hats were in the ocean

        It’s that the urchins (like people) are trying to protect themselves but the scientists (corporations) are just gaslighting them for their amusement

                You don’t think the hats were for the amusement of people

                The post itself says it’s for protection

                  They’re in a tank. They literally do not need protection. They also do not care. The hats fill their microbrain compulsions just fine. They don’t need your absurd “hey, aren’t we all just urchins in hats!?” train of thought.

                  They’re probably living their best lives. They’re not being raised for food, they’re not living in a wild ocean… they’re wearing dapper hats instead of the dead husks of their seaborn brethren.

                  You could take a lesson from those urchins.
