@datzfast TIME VORTEX OHNO

@roidroid promise you algae smells and tastes like shit to begin with. as a food for humans, most humans would rather be dead than eat it. this probably doesnt matter to you, its probably the litsmus test for weather humans should be put to death. if you are not saying it well, others have so the chips fly in all directions and sometimes they land on you.

@datzfast try searching for "algae drink" instead of shake.

Don't drink pond scum from a pond. Water is good for you too but i wouldn't drink it from a puddle on the road know what i'm saying? *sigh* I seriously doubt you do.

Algae drinks are made from algae grown for consumption.

But if you want to skim off and consume the algae from a natural pond, full of poisonous bacteria, stale water, dirt, fish and frog shit - Go right ahead here's your Darwin award.

@roidroid i typed in algae shakes to watch them drink one and i didnt find one. also i dont think adding a big scoop of ice cream is really a fair assement it the taste do you? last i read algae is pond scum. not something you should be drinking.

@datzfast I've seen people drink algae shakes and they never complain about any bad taste.

Perhaps you are drinking pond scum from a pond? No, stop that.

every year , every summer , a city's water and boating recreation gets ruined by algae blooms. im surprised a mobile company doesnt recover the algae for free, absolutely free the millions of tons of algae for free and make a biodiesel to sell at a very handsome profeit. the entire cost of making the algae is eleminated from the cost to produce the biofule.

Algae oil IS vegetable oil - Algae is actually a food, a very healthy food! But as a food it's still relatively untapped, coz there isn't much of a demand for it at the moment - but in time there might be.

It's a pretty exciting crop. Because it grows so fast we can use it as a fuel, but when you realise that it actually IS a food as well, you can just think of it like some kindof super corn with 1000x the yield of normal corn. Think of how fast you could pump food out.
