Hey, look a feature every mammal may need to evolve in the near future!

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop fucking cats.

Same week they started or ideally the one before that? 🤷

We need you back in the fight soldier, we need to make cat girls (and boys) a reality.

Are oceans getting saltier? The glaciers that are melting are pure freshwater

EDIT

I'm not an expert but from a quick googling it seems the oceans are getting LESS salty

The issue is not more/less salt in the oceans, but fewer and less reliable sources of freshwater.

Oceans getting less salt

Rivers and lakes in Canada getting more salt

But I think they were referring to running out of reliable fresh water due to drought

You're halfway there! If the oceans are getting less salty, where else's the extra water coming from?

[-] Beacon@fedia.io 0 points 1 month ago

I literally already said the answer to that in my original comment.

Uhh, no you didn't? At least, not the way I interpret it.

It looks like you were saying "oceans are getting less salty, and therefore this adaptation is less needed". But @SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world was saying "the reason they're getting less salty is because fresh water is becoming more scarce, and therefore the adaptations are more needed".

[-] SilverFlame@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think that what SpaceNoodle is trying to say is that the decrease in ocean salinity is correlated to a decrease in fresh water, so even though salinity is dropping, adaptations need to be made because we will run out of fresh water.

Sorry, I meant where else.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
