sounds like a scam! i bet if the water is too dirty the oyster is going to close and shut off the city's water supply
(it was clams but i cannot tell the difference between the two so)

This is a scam, ordered some and they don't tell you that it only works with salt water but I have dirty fresh water! Now stuck buying salt every day.
I got the same issue, but I solved it by building a desalination system at home. After the water is cleansed by the oyster, the water gets extracted leaving the salt behind which can be added to a new batch of fresh water. Saves me a few salt trips to the store.
The elctricity bill is a tad bit higher, but I plan to add wave generators to the oyster aquarium so I can extract power from there just by lowering and raising an inflated ball through the water line. Should also help disturbing any deposits in the tank
Oyster: Filters all the gross gunk from the ocean
Humans: I'm going to eat this oyster without cooking it, yes it is gross that's why there's hot sauce.
I also eat ass.
At the end of the day, both are full of microplastics.
Same taste as oysters.
oyster
hot sauce
stares at you motherfuckerly
Fuck the hot sauce, all you need is some cocktail sauce (with horseradish, not that tame ketchup shit) and it's good to go
Doesn't it usually go with vodka?
Is there a order limit? Because for undisclosed reasons I'm going to need a lot
I see you, circa 2010 BP!
It'd be something if instead of flushing the toilet, an oyster could filter all that
Is that what the three seashells are?
Oh my god, after 30 years, this is it.
Three genetically enhanced oysters in their shells…
If I swallow a live oyster, can I drink dirty water safely?
Turns out eating oysters straight off the rocks is not recommended. Like super duper not recommended.
I found this out after I managed to open one on the rocks and ate it :)
So what was the outcome? Did you get all the diseases?
How is the hospital food?
Do you have some special internal path for the oysters own waste product that doesn't interact or otherwise affect your other internal organs?
Where does the oyster poo go in the ocean?
Hopefully not inside the human body.
Yes
Finally, the answer I'm looking for. Brb
ADD SEQUENCE
They can be poisoned just the same as any other sea-creature, right? If the water is full of certain elements it will kill the oysters too, right?
I only have 226 L of water, can I borrow 1 pls?
neat 👍
Yeah… but it all goes in and out through one general purpose orifice 🤢
