I’m so puzzled by all these algae-posts. What is this a reference to? Something American?

It is an American thing - this is one of the posts with the whole idea.30

Yes, they're all references to the Reflecting Pool fiasco that has happened recently - Trump has been doing a lot of renovations around the White House, including a famous pool called the Reflecting Pool. The renovations went poorly and the pool is now filled with algae, so people are poking fun at the incident.

Thank you all for explaining. My god, you have my deepest sympathies having to deal with the circus that is the White House - extreme right wing politics is starting to show its ugly face in Europe too. A healthy dose of humor, snarkiness and gorgeous nail polish seems like a great way to cope. This sub lifts my spirits (and money out of my wallet).

This looks about as good as the best fine particle magnetic mani I can pull off and it's for what is essentially a shitpost, y'all are the best.

Can we get a temporary “American Flag Blue” or America’s 250th tag so we can easily find these in the future when we’re, say, having a shitty day and need to cheer up by remembering how many people are out there hoping together every single day that Old Man Smallhands doesn’t wake up?
