     There's a part in Moby Dick where they're talking about sending in the most junior sailors to dive into the whale's cavity to help extract all the oil. ... can't possible smell as bad as that.

     I want this job.

     probably stinks to high heaven, but whale washer has to be pure bliss.

     Maybe it was originally designed for oil spills and they just keep using it to maintain it?
     
     Honestly animals are going to be fucked when we got extinct. They'll be adapted to break down so many different types of microplastics and spilled crude that their entire supplemental food source will dry up when we're gone.

     @Jens_Rasmussen @radix023 big animals are typically chill and whales are the largest. a whale probably came up to breath while a crew where washing a boat and really liked the feeling when it got brushed.

     cows do the same with scratching post that farmers leave out. https://youtu.be/FLTfUHgwX4I
