I'm not sure you're ready for this.
Last night I posted an insane academic paper titled "Loving the Brine Shrimp: Exploring Queer Feminist Blue Posthumanities to Reimagine the ‘America’s Dead Sea’."
That paper included a section near the end where the author claimed, via performance art, "to challenge the dominant scientific, industrial, and cultural use of brine shrimp by responding to them as lovable objects."
They made... a video.
It's titled "Cyber Wedding to the Brine Shrimp," and depicts the author and her queer colleagues, dressed as brides, venturing out into the Great Salt Lake in Utah, CO, to make wedding vows and "express their human love towards the vulnerable yet tough brine shrimp." The author describes it as "a communal bath in the GSL, which some of us, including myself, perceived as making love to the lake." In the video, they receive psychic consent from the brine shrimp to marry them.
It gets better. "To avoid potential harm to living critters, vows were made to the brine shrimp’s exponentially enlarged augmented reality image, which popped up at the lake’s shore above the humans’ heads."
You really have to see it to believe it.
Fortunately, @drrollergator managed to find the entire video, which he appropriately edited to include Mystery Science Theater 3000 silhouettes. 🤣
Grab some 🍿 and enjoy the show! And remember: Trust The Science.
“Great Salt Lake in Utah, CO,”... What do you suppose this means?
Isn’t this what used to be sold in the back of comic books as “sea monkeys”?
Brine shrimp make the perfect husband for these people. They are a brainless crustacean that only lives a few months. The shrimp will be long gone before it knows it married a delusional human. I haven’t watched the crazy video since I just ate breakfast a little while ago. Maybe I will buy some shrimp cocktail and watch it later this afternoon. I probably won’t watch it.
Next up, krill
What exactly is an “eco sexual”?
Perhaps it means the author does not know geography? Perhaps when they were in Utah they were so stoned they had no idea they were in Utah, the state.
You know, I remember when I could at least understand what the leftist were talking about. I mean, they were totally wrong about everything but I could see what they were getting at.
Now I have no idea.
I just looked; there is NO Utah, Colorado, so it must be the latter.
This sounds like it’s related to the ancient pagan practice of couples having sex in the fields to insure a bountiful harvest. Or it’s the next rung down on the bestiality scale of depravity.
Either way, it’s not any part of God’s agenda as far as I can understand. Let’s ask the Mormons what they think about their lake being used this way.
How do you cook brine shrimp?
Just another pervert weirdo.
Correct.
“What exactly is an “eco sexual”?”
Explicit tree hugger?
I don’t think the Mormons are too happy about this madness.
Brine shrimp, sea monkeys. Remember when I was a kid
, one of my brothers put his sea monkey in a glass and sat it on our three corner cabinet. One of my other brother though it was Kool-Aid and drank some of them.

I thought this sort of insanity had finally gone out of fashion in academia.
I haven't seen a sea monkey ad since shrimp Ramen became a thing.
