sometimes I want to study hard and devote my entire life to education then I remember donald trump, vladimir putin, theresa may and kim jong un all exist at the same time and I have a sudden urge to sell every single thing I own to go backpacking around Europe where I can spend all of my money on strip bars and cocaine because someone is gonna drop a bomb soon so what’s the point
I hope it’s not from spilled oil, because those rainbows make me sad for the state of our planet.
If it’s some natural phenomenon I’ve never heard of then cool.
Good news! It’s not pollution, but instead entirely natural bacterial action that happens in low oxygen bogs. Iron-loving bacteria are feeding on dissolved iron in the water, and their metabolic processes produce this rainbow oily film on the surface. Their waste products settle into an iron ore sediment. You are literally watching bog iron form, which was the primary source of iron for most of northern Europe during the Medieval era.
It’s still super gay, though. It’s now just Science Gay.
