Minus the racism please
Reminds me of what happened to Lake Michigan when that ham demon got elected governor and let all the farms dump their waste into the lake
Gotta love those algae blooms, mass fish die-offs and zebra mussels
Ah The Simpsons movie IRL, didn't know about it. What with the zebra mussels? They also died?
They're an invasive species that is currently thriving in the lake and fucking royally with the local ecosystem
The waste dumping basically killed off anything in the lake that would have gone after them and they cause lots of problems for the boaters (yay) and the municipal water treatment facility
Not enough to counteract the tons of waste being dumped into the lake
And despite having one of the best water treatment facilities on the Great Lakes, you can't exactly treat water when all the intake pipes are clogged with the little things
You also can't go barefoot in any body of water that has them because they are razor sharp and are attached to fucking everything on the bottom.
They're awful. They infest pipes so any pipe that feeds in to the river gets stopped up. They cause massive harm to indigenous wildlife. They're incredibly tenacious and there's no way to kill them once they're established short of like... rendering the entire body of water incapable of supporting multicellular life. And they're fucking everywhere now.
it isn't talked about much in media, because the State of North Carolina is basically a sort of genteel dinner jacket for the industrial pork sector (the largest pork feedlot on planet earth is in Tar Hell, NC)... but whenever North Carolina gets flooding rains, the "lagoons" (multi acre, man-made ponds that hold millions of gallons of pig shit and piss in anaerobic putrescent stasis) overflow into waterways.
i can't really describe the logic of the lagoons because there isn't any. the concrete slabs and traps are blown out periodically with pressure washers into those lagoons where the water evaporates off, eventually, but the piss and shit is held indefinitely without any sort of treatment until a flood even spills some out in an "act of god", allowing the owner to avoid any enforcement penalty for an unlawful discharge. and it's not like NC has a particularly pro-community/pro-environment regulatory environment anyway.
if you were forced to reside in that state for whatever reason, you damn sure better get up into the mountains.
lol, i thought i typed Tar Heel! but anyway, autocorrect has the truth of it.
117 people, 60 households
The Tar Heel Community is home to various churches. Below is the list of churches:
Love Grove Baptist Church
Tar Heel Baptist Church
Tar Heel Free Will Church
Beth Car Presbyterian – listed as a historic site
Clark's Chapel
New Life Ministry
Purdie's Methodist
It reminds me of the hellscape town I rent in right now. One stoplight, four evangelical churches that are colonising everything.
Wtf? I’ll admit I’ve never been a regular church-goer, but I feel like 117 people would be a very normal number for one single church, and doesn’t need to be split among 7? Especially since surely not all 117 people go to church
The first three are baptist churches. https://live.staticflickr.com/8396/8614328699_a53697f920_b.jpg That's Love Grove and 117 people is probably around the fire code occupancy limit.
Just agree to go be racist in one place. Save money on utilities.
Not to get all :so-true: with it, but "putrescent, all-contaminating shit flood" is something I'd expect to happen in Rimworld and not Earth's richest country.
I don't know if I'm more angry at you for :so-true:-ing or for still thinking murica is some kind of place where people care
sewage
saw the word "sew" and thought it meant they were getting their textile industry back
But there's already an island of shit there no o need to make another
Can't you see the government was interfering with the natural geochemical cycles of Nitrogen and Phosporous
Remember when they were touting Michael Gove as some sort of Brexiteer eco-friendly warrior.
I don't think that beach looks like that because the ocean is poopy. That or it already was poopy before that decision
Fuckers. I used to go there as a kid. It was a good beach. It has a train too.
