A new study has confirmed that the Gulf Stream, a crucial ocean current that helps regulate climate and sea levels, is weakening. The flow of warm water through the Florida Straits has slowed by 4% over the past four decades. This slowdown has significant implications for the world’s climate, and scientists are concerned that it may be a sign of further weakening to come.

    What if we all finally stood together and peed facing the same direction?

      Google AI says the following:

      It would take 5,700 years for the entire world’s population to pee enough water to change the ocean’s current. However, the amount of water consumed by the population would be equal to the amount of water they pee, so the net change in ocean level would be zero.

        That’s great news. We didn’t want to exacerbate already-rising sea levels. We just need to pee harder to bring that 5,700 years down.

          Okay, so hear me out.

          Similar to how in Warhammer 40k, the empire details the process of abducting the psykers across the entire galaxy with the black ships to being corralled to the sarcophaguses powering the Golden Throne and experiencing the chorus of psychic screams released when those unfortunate souls die to feed the Emperor’s soul so he can stave off the unending hoard of bloodthirsty horrific demons of the Warp clawing through the thin membrane of reality?

          We should do that, but with pee.

            My poop comes out like when you sneeze with a mouth full of peanut butter.

          I love how unnecessarily dark that became after the answer to the direct question ended up being boring
