    I’m guessing its from the Sargassum Seaweed. Flesh eating bacteria is known to love it’s little patch of ocean paradise.

    (edit: for example)

        seaweed that’s washed up is pretty gross unless you’re a microbiologist. maybe a marine biologist, too, anyhow. It usually starts getting rank pretty quickly.

          I met a microbiologist and a marine biologist once.

          Imagine my surprise when the former was tall and the latter was a civilian with normal skin!

          Or a child. I see kids playing with washed up seaweed all the time.

            Or a child at heart (which, I admit, can overlap with being a marine biologist)

        Would not be surprised if there were some kind of salty-swamp-monster living in the sargassum patch.

        I mean, the patch is Freaking huge

      Too bad there isn’t another debate so Kamala could say they’re eating the humans when referring to hurricanes.

        I’m too busy being confused by this to be cynical or mad.

          I think it’s a joke at Trumps expense. I’m unsure if it’s favorable to Kamala tho.
