Wow, I wonder what the street value is for 10 kilos of cocaine?!

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

We were each supposed to take 2, Zorsith. You had to get all greedy and take 6 smh

Well, we did suspect there were packages of cocaine here. But turns out there wasn't any!

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

“If these cocaine bales are a point source of pollution, it’s very plausible [sharks] can be affected by this chemical. Cocaine is so soluble that any of those packages open just a little, the structural integrity is destroyed and the drug is in the water,” Tracy Fanara, a Florida-based environmental engineer toldthe Guardian last year.

Blaming the sharks too smh
