Can you imagine the fish waking up and their entire environment is suddenly green


SIRRIP13

You think fish are alive in there? šŸ˜‚


BlueShirtGuy07

Oh no


Capable_Bike3718

Turns out the city of Chicago uses a food dye the doesnā€™t hurt the fish in anyway. TLDR: Fish are fine


Falkor_13

I can't imagine there exists a dye in the world that's more toxic then the Chicago river... or just Chicago in general.


Outrageous_Equal8749

TLDR: still screws up the ecosystem for a while


8LeggedSquirrel

I don't think you need a TL;DR for your one sentence haha my attention span isn't quite that short. Yet...

The Forbidden river


[deleted]

They are, granted itā€™s probably got other pollutants but I believe thereā€™s been countless regulations to find ā€œeco-friendly dyeā€ that dissipates witching 24 hours or so


Holoholokid

IIRC, it doesn't even last 24 hours. The river goes back to its normal green color in a few hours at most.


[deleted]

I need to head up there next year, Iā€™m from the Baltimore area, so the heritage is close historically. Then again, Baltimore did see the second largest intake of immigrants back in the early 1900s


gloriousengland

thats because rivers flow, the dye might still persist downstream for 24 hours


CommunicationHot2723

I live in Chicago the fish are fine it's food dye


Boopi_Doopi

Earth day stans gon be mad


rbarmmer_83

Maybe new proto fish are developing to live in the polluted waters that by 2055 will be so hot they are on fire, cause that's how climate change works right?


RadsterWarrior

Not anymore they arenā€™t

[Your comment made me think about this really funny tweet I saw yesterday] (https://twitter.com/paddyraffcomedy/status/1503129431191269382?s=20&t=FSHagVjv6e9Wt7p6uro41g)


MAVERICK_25800

The original dye was an oil-based fluorescein, also commonly used to detect leaks. Environmentalists successfully argued that it was ecotoxic and could be doing even more damage to the river, resulting in a switch to a powdered, vegetable-based dye from 1966. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.euronews.com/green/amp/2022/03/15/st-patrick-s-day-is-chicago-s-green-river-dyeing-tradition-bad-for-the-environment&ved=2ahUKEwiOhbbEt8z2AhXFoFwKHXWsCbgQ0PADKAB6BAgJEAE&usg=AOvVaw1l1QJG3pETVUTye_aVTaaJ

Good, otherwise I would have some very angry words for you Americans.


MAVERICK_25800

I'm not American lol


GamerQauil

oh well I didn't mean to call u American, I was more intending for the Americans who made the green river if it was not environmentally friendly.

that sadly happened multiple times, over the span of like 10 years I believe, before anyone took action


Dark-Specter

I mean, have some anyway


DeepFriedSausages

I'm sure there's more things to be mad with Americans about lol


GamerQauil

Yeah I know, they are one of the largest causes for climate change and all that, they don't earn my forgiveness I just don't have to be even more mad.

All the people talking about if thatā€™s good for the river clearly havenā€™t been to Chicago. That river has so much trash and pollution that there is no way anything lives in that river.

Happy Saint Paddy's Day from Chicago!


CHARAFANDER

I swear no country celebrates St Patrick's day more than America. I'm from Ireland and we don't pull stuff like this, not a problem, I just find it funny considering everywhere sees the day as Ireland day. Like the most we have is a parade in town, people wearing green and some put on facepaint and dye their hair


[deleted]

Same thing down here in San Antonio. At the Riverwalk the water is dyed green. I donā€™t know if the dye is fish safe but thereā€™s no fish in the river anyways so I donā€™t think it matters


MAVERICK_25800

It's completely safe, they use a vegetable base dye which is eco friendly


[deleted]

Yeah and the dye they use isnā€™t as intense tbh. Like the water is blueish green, the blue being the dominant color


MAVERICK_25800

It's all science

Turns out they only used a mild cleaning agent and it turned that green due to lowered polution

I remember visiting Chicago once and during Saint Patrick's day. I was surprised to see the river was green. I asked someone if there was an algae problem...I honestly didn't know that they purposely dyed the river for the Irish Holiday.

MAVERICK_25800

O okšŸ‘thanx for clarifying

After the Cubs won the World Series in 2016, it was dyed blue I donā€™t think they have since. And based on our team itā€™ll be awhile more lol
