Description from The New York Times (picture taken by James Rajotte for The NYT):

Road salt is unloaded in Oswego. The ship it came in on carried three-quarters of a full load because lake levels have dropped.

    does this really need to be here?

    Varka posted it.
    He owns the site.
    So, I'm going to assume that he has a reason for putting it here.

    Rock salt is also sea salt.

    What if it's mined from the ground, and not obtained through boiling or evaporation of seawater? The existence of sodium in both doesn't make them both seasalt. It's the other minerals that change the properties of the salt and the location that it comes from that determines it.

  • As you can see, the community of Internetities reacts to the poorly made comment, in the most natural way possible.

    Such fascinating creatures, these Internetities. Their mass-produced secretions, are considered their most used currency, when found in communities.

    I made tablesalt out of hydrocloric acid and sodium hydroxide in high school. Alone, one burns people and the other turns them into soap. Together, they are an ingredient in most foods.

  • I'm surprised that no one in this comment section considered this to actually be some sort of clever reference to Monosodium glutamate[/i], the element that you are introduced to whenever you Google search for E621...then again i'm probably overthinking a picture of a conveyor belt posted of a on a furry porn site so... "Test comment please ignore!"

    How did it get past the rules of uploading?

    The owner of e621 is the one who uploaded this during a time where e621 was under big maintainence.

    You could say that the picture should have been taken down as soon a the test was marked as successful, but it isn't really hurting anyone so

    Salt is kinda sexy.

    I've seen pictures of actual art get taken down, things people clearly spent time on and cared about taken down because 1 moderator didn't like it. But of course, this stays up for no good reason.

    Ok who asked tho?

    iirc the owner (at the time anyway, not sure about now but regardless) posted it. if you owned a website like this you, too, could keep up and remove whatever images you wanted, including this one. as by site rules, the most common ones anyway for images, an image can only be removed if its flagged and confirmed for removal; usually by a higher quality image being posted, is asked to be removed by the artist, removal by being irrelevant, or something else i'm forgetting. it does not fall under any of these as this post does not have: a higher quality image to replace it to be flagged for removal, an actual artist (free use effectively), and it is also relevant to the site due to the fact its used for a test, who knows how long this test has been going on for but it is vital to the site for as long as its going on for, therefore making it relevant.

  • I thought from the thumbnail that this was some manner of whiteish pterosaur, I was rather disappointed to find out it wasn't.

    Aaactually, salt is just a chemical substance provenient form a reaction of an acid and a base, it can be in the sea but not all salt is in the sea or can only come from it, since molecules can be dismantled or mixed with others to become new ones entirely! The very acid in our stomach can be considered a salt (belive it or not).

  • The fact that this post from over 10 years ago still gets comments to this very day - including my own comment - intrigues me.
