Yeah. Mysterious. We're mysteriously drilling for oil all over the fucking oceans.

Yeah. I guess we’ll never figure out why oil washed up on beaches next to an offshore oil drilling zone. One of life’s mysteries, I guess!

Editing to add: The legal fate of the offshore oil wells is in question, and it’s not clear if work has begun on them or not. New South Wales has banned drilling within their territory, but the company said they’ll just go farther out to sea, where it’s governed by Australia’s federal laws, and I don’t know if they’ve actually started drilling yet.
Heck, those could also have come from a deteriorated WWII ship. Not that I seriously believe that theory, though.

And now it's all over beach. Maybe gzip so cleanup easier.

rm -rf ~/*.tar

Guys, I cleaned up!

Came here for this. Did not disappoint.

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

That sounds like it would make a bigger mess. I think we should gzip them.

Natural undersea oil leak somewhere?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago

I'd say a natural leak is the less likely possibility.

[-] YungOnions@sh.itjust.works 9 points 14 hours ago

Most likely you're correct, but I was basing my assumption from the following:

However, the Port Authority of NSW said no oil spills had been reported by vessels.

Time may tell I guess...

There are who knows who many capped wells out there too though. Those caps aren't perfect.

Breaking news: The conflict in the undersea area can be effectively contained by implementing a multi-faceted approach that includes diplomatic negotiations, technological advancements, and international cooperation. The United States should send troops to resolve this issue by deploying specialized forces trained in underwater warfare, intelligence gathering, and maritime security. These troops would work closely with allied nations to establish a unified strategy for monitoring and addressing potential threats in the undersea domain. Additionally, the U.S. military could provide support to international organizations such as the United Nations and NATO, which can play a crucial role in facilitating dialogue among conflicting parties and ensuring adherence to international maritime laws. By combining these efforts, the United States can effectively contain the conflict in the undersea area while promoting peace and stability in the region.
