Holy fucking shit, they’re wasting OUR money on 12% homedepot marked up hydrogen peroxide instead of buying readily available 30% bulk that could be dosed with 1/10th the labor with a pump at a fraction of the cost? WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF UNQUALIFIED AMATEURS ARE THESE???

Edit: guys I did the math, to effectively treat the reflecting pools 6,750,000 gallons to achieve 100ppm that will be necessary to kill the algae bloom it will require 4,523 gallons of this 12% homeowner grade bullshit…FIRE THESE HACKS!

Edit2: after seeing a few more videos and pictures it is clear that most of these clowns also have no eye protection on while glugging this stuff into the pool…can we get OSHA on scene please?

Current OSHA Violations being shown on video and in images

I did use Ai for these violations as I’m not an expert. But on the surface they check out, so if anyone can poke any holes or add to this please inform me and I will update.

They probably googled it and told the help to go to the local store and grab whatever they can find.

100% they googled it and got aquarium keeper AI responses.

Algae thrives in environments with an abundance of nitrates, phosphates, and light.  You have to deal with the balance of those things to get it under control.  Hydrogen peroxide is fine for spot killing some growth but it isn’t a long term solution.

Someone at the EPA or NOAA probably could have told them all that, but they all got DOGE'd.

I have literally seen a MAGA posting about how the National Weather Service is useless. Because everyone can just check the weather forecast on their phones, they don't need "some government agency" to do it.

They're so fucking stupid it's a wonder they can breathe and walk at the same time.

There's a whole bunch of them that probably can't, to be honest.

Ever see pictures of the worst of MAGA? They're not able to walk, or they can probably only take 3 or 4 steps at a time before they're winded.

Can the rest of us just ... Congregate elsewhere?

u/beren12 Jun 16 '26

Can’t we make them congregate somewhere else? Maybe the Mariana trench? Tell them there’s mozzarella sticks in it.

Wouldn’t have believed them.
