Manatees are struggling with climate change along the florida coast line where waters in the summer have been measured to up to 100 degree F in the ocean. It has devastated manatee floral diet. And they are dying off from it.
Do not torment the gentle wildlife that you are killing off.
I once saw a park ranger just screaming at a group of guys and threatening them with $5000 fines just for getting near one.
I told a friend of mine who surfs, and he didn't realize they were so protected. He said there's an old girl who comes to visit them when they surf, and she rolls over on her back so they can scritch her belly. I told him it was a $5000 fine, and he was bummed. He liked scritching his manatee friend.
In the criminal justice system, harassment of marine mammals is considered a Florida-tier offense. In Miami-Dade, the detectives who investigate these bizarre aquatic crimes are members of an elite squad known as the Meth-Adjacent Intervention Unit. These are their stories.
Musk is responsible for this. Remember a few weeks ago when he made Grok put everyone in bikinis? Of course, Florida is now copying it IRL. And as usual, it's the poor bloody matinee ... mantit ... blobbly wobblies that suffer!
No it's not. I mean, maybe if you're dumb and can't recognize fake shit, which, from the looks of this comment thread, it appears Lemmy has started down that path.
It's the "in a bikini" part that's a dead giveaway. That's not a detail that would be included in a real headline. That's extra added to make the situation seem more ridiculous and silly. It's crazy I even have to point this out, its painfully obvious to me.
Tbf, we live in the Clickbait Era of journalism, so that's not your best argument. It's definitely fake, but the poorly written headline is no longer good proof, it's actually the standard even for articles written by real people.
I've never even seen a manatee in a bikini.
Glad I’m not the only one with that thought.
Sounds sexy
Is she single? Asking for a friend.
Her name is Barbara.
sigh ...would.
I swear to god if this is AI...
Because people like her keep wrestling them off.
mermaids and their songs are confusing
Beat me to the punch. Next time, Gadget! Next time!
I can't, but I totally would date her just to wrestle with her. As a bonus, I am as fat as a manatee.
I don't want to wrestle her but I'd like to get to know her and learn what makes her her. She sounds interesting.
There is nothing to fix. But maybe she could fix me.

In Florida, is an extremely serious crime to even touch a manatee.

Destroy their entire ecosystem is a ok though :(
Is that like a holdover Jim Crow thing?
The other perpetrator:
Listen, I get it, Manatees have no business wearing a bikini.
You take that back! Leave them damn sexy manatees alone.
You've been at sea too long, sailor.
Nope!! Say that's a nice cockle you've got there, can I touch it?...
Ok, you may be correct!
Who was in the bikini?
Yes

Dun-dun.
You mean the Meth-Induced Abnormal Mannerism Investigators?
Smoke meth in the city where the heat is on
Fight manatees on the beach 'til the break of dawn
Welcome to Miami
Bienvenidos a Miami
Why was the manatee in a park and why was it wearing a bikini. Lastly, was it a licensed wrestling match or unsanctioned?
wrestling licenses are a scam perpetuated by Big Wrestling! go out and wrestle someone today! nobody can stop you!
She just wanted her bikini back after the manatee stole it.
Her hips don't lie! That's shakira! You guys arrested shakira while she was doing her wrestling routine!
You might have noticed she's not blonde.
Confirmed! You guys got shakira while she was having personal arguments with her favorite animal kingdom friend.
Just leave them alone. Its all about past manatee songs that never made it.

Florida Man(atee).
*golf clap*
Is that the new STD spreading out from Mar-a-lago?
Manatees can't wear bikinis, their nipples are in entirely the wrong place
Not with that attitude.
You just cracked into an obviously under-represented market. You could make millions.
One is left wandering what a manatee in a bikini was doing in a public park...
I feel there's more to this story we're missing here. ..but damn, I'd wrestle her any day...
I just looked, it's fake. I still stand by my song.
What’s the crime?
Fighting an endangered animal? Swimming in probably boat lanes.
Come on guys.
I see you know your judo well!
choke me mommy
LEAVE IT ALONE! FIGHT ME INSTEAD!
Goes prone
Well... Who won?
Oh no here comes the manatee from the top rope with a steel chair! Oof! As god as my witness she is broken in half!
I'm going to have to see the video
In The Pale Moonlight ages like fine wine.
Picture is AI
Is this on pay per view?

I've never seen a manatee in a parrk, if I did I would also wrestle it in a bikini.
Just let me get my manatee costume...
I'll get my manatee shaped robe and wizard hat.
This is AI slop
edit: to people who downvote me because she's cute : Just look at the logo
and then search online for "WFor 4 News", it doen't exist
Well, it kiiiinda exists, but yeah, fake logo, headline, and picture for sure.
Dunno. When it comes to Florida folks, sometimes it is hard to tell AI slop from reality.
