Those of us who love the environment and want to protect it will look back on these activists who glue themselves to exhibits and throw paint on historical art pieces...

And we'll still think they're f-ing morons and should not in anyway be taken seriously.

However, we will definitely high five scientists, politicians and activists who actually help us achieve our responsible climate goals. That is all.

Attention whores are usually only self-destructive. They don't deface property nor do they embarrass a philosophy.

I wouldn't be shocked to learn these people are being funded by quite anti-environmentalist groups.

I used to have a joke that someday in the far future, a highly evolved butterfly was gonna get a tattoo of a woman on its lower back lol. The dinosaur with a woman glued to its leg was a step in the evolution to that which I wasn't predicting lmao.

Simple solution: put a screen up around them and let them remained glued to whatever as long as they choose.

When they get hungry and thirsty we'll see how truly dedicated to their cause they are. That will set apart the martyrs from the attention whores (and paid shills to make environmentalists look bad).

When people super glue them selves to thing, just put up bollards around them and have the prosecutor get a warrant. Then just leave them to it.

I have had had to peel myself from multiple objects (because there is no way to use the stuff without at the least gluing yourself to yourself), and if the surface area is enough to actually stick yourself to something it's going to hurt lots to peel yourself off.

They are morons, fortunately. If they weren't morons then they'd have figured out that by making it a viral TikTok challenge instead of gluing themselves they could have had thousands of idiot minions around the world performing their moronic stunt for them while they sat comfortably at home free to go for a wee any time they needed to. Because they wouldn't be personally glued to a dinosaur skeleton.

Leave them glued in place.  Once they start making their own gravy, they will be begging for someone to free them. In the interim, let's test their commitment to the cause.

It also contains methyl methacrylate, which helps to speed up the polymerization process. Other ingredients include acetone, which helps to keep the adhesive liquid, and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), which is an antioxidant that helps to protect the adhesive from degradation

So using a petroleum based product to protest petroleum fuels.... Smart folks yup

Despite Fark's persistent fascist demographic, I'll say this much, the targets of these protests make no farking sense when there are fossil fuel companies they could be throwing soup at.

A bit of a thread Jack....I made a pilgrimage to the Humboldt in 1991 to see the brachiosaurus skeleton. I have a dinosaur fetish...iat didn't stop at looking. I touched the skeleton and suddenly there was an extra bone in the hall if you catch my drift.

I even got yelled at by an elderly security guard in German! Memoriessss.

The Germans should shut down all their nuclear power plants, and then burn cheap and available Russian natural gas in the winter for heat and electricity.  Yeah, that's the ticket.

two of them glued themselved to the metal poles of a conductor's stand in Hamburg recently . Security pulled out the poles and carried them out of the venue and into a hallway . That's where this picture was taken
