    Reminds me of this cool article, about sea turtles and the North Atlantic Gyre: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/secret-route-se...

    Apparently, many turtles spend some of their youth in the Sargasso Sea, in the center of the gyre, which has a lot of seaweed shelter and biodiversity, and is warmer. Then they leave when they're stronger.

    It is astounding to me to have so much information on our globe and how it works and then to go to TikTok and see the flerfers (flat earthers) with a 1,000 people in a live.

    They're the solution to climate change also.

    The center is infertile and can be seeded with fertilizer and algae that can then die off and sink to the bottom of the ocean.
