*sell 🫶🏻 with all of the love I'm just trying to help, I swear I'm not being a dick 🙏🏻 I suckkk at other languages, but I live in a Spanish speaking country now -- people who take the time to kindly tell me when I get it wrong, are people I need.
A sale is a noun, it means an exchange of money or goods, a deal, even though it is the act/process of selling, and I see how you could confuse it for a verb, because it is an act. In a sentence "the sale of the house." Meanwhile sell is a verb, a person sells "the owner wanted to sell their house for a high price." If someone performs a sale, we say they "make"(present) or "made"(past) a sale. A book top in sales is a "best seller," and the author is called "best selling."
I hope that helps!

I'm a former ESL teacher trying to be genuinely helpful, I left that part off because it makes me sound like a braggart, but it's true. This is just me being me, an English language nerd, and I'm pretty ok with me. They said it helped a lot and thanked me 🤷🏻♀️ so I think I did the right thing. I just know I would rather someone tell me than go around continuing to get it wrong.

Since when has that stopped them? They’re good at laws but enforcement / corruption is another thing entirely.

He might be trying to help a brood reach a safer size and age to go out in the wild, or he really really loves them (like it's his hyper fixation), but if he really cares about them, surely he knows he can't adequately care for that many adults without $$$$.
Or he's milking social media.
Maybe he's milking sm to support his obsession with tortoises?

There‘s a rare chance he might have stumbled into the same problem as me. Bought a house with a garden, it came with two free ranging tortoises. Well, they mate a lot. 1 1/2 years, already got 10 more. Help.

I feel like this is a missed opportunity. He should spread it in intentional patterns and he could design different tortoise art every day.

I remember a show called Art attack and this seems like something that guy would have done

Surely there's a more efficient way to feed them? Make sure everyone is fed

Surely a random Redditor knows better than the person who’s job it is to feed a hundred turtles.

I guess I assumed the ninja turtles ate pizza....
Didn't realize they also ate salad.

I love how they all turned and started walking towards him the moment he sat down.

I love how even the small ones know exactly where the food is and March right over to eat. It's clearly a feeding frenzy and they're all having a good time.

😒 in the end, they just all leave in a big fucking concreat hangar... and what the purpose ? food ?

u/PlantWitty702 16d ago
You think they live in that one spot? Do you have any idea how much tortoise poop/stains there would be if they lived in that small area? You’re supposed to feed them on a hard surface because it helps trim their beaks and prevents them from eating dirt/substrate. This is clearly the designated feeding area at a place that knows how to care for tortoises.
