I Want to Start My Own Business

[b]I see this as a business opportunity. I bet this stuff is very nutritious for your garden. I could possibly turn this into awesome organic fertilizers if I can get it to Hawaii. [/b]

I don’t think the toxins produced by this stuff makes for good fertilizer. It’s not really “real” algae - it’s bacteria, some of the earliest stuff to come around on the planet - we likely owe our atmosphere to the stuff.

@QuixoticSoul Oh yuck 🤢

@SimplyTracie Then again some “real” algae produces toxins too. People often conflate “natural” with good or healthy - but nature has made a lot of shit that will kill you just fine.

@QuixoticSoul There are those beneficial ones and then there’s evil ones.

@SimplyTracie Evil is a human thing, nature is beyond those kinds of qualifiers. Toxity is often a simply survival adaptation, after all.

But yeah, some algae is useful for us. Someday we just might take some to the stars.

@QuixoticSoul So many beneficial fungi. Bacteria too.

@SimplyTracie Hell, when you look at it in a certain way, we are walking meat armor for an ancient bacterial symbiont 😳
