Jellyfish smoothie anyone?

The robot jellyfish shredders

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-32965841

South Korea has a jellyfish problem and one way that might well work to reduce environmental damage is to SHRED them!

Well apparently they are a bit dumb anyway so why care?

Robots are being used once again in 'swarm' mode where they hunt the little buggers and slice and dice em.

Seems a bit nasty to me though.

Nice pic .

Strange creatures as they don't have a conventional brain but do they think?

Brainless jellyfish smarter than you might think

I can't see the South Koreans being allowed to shred such creatures. Then again is it any different to harvesting fish? I suppose if they harvested them in a similar way and used them productively there wouldn't be an issue.

I know they're Gods creatures and all that but I dispise the things ever since I got a bad sting as a kid, I would not lose any sleep if McDonalds cornered the market for Jellyfish smoothies and they went into extinction.

My daughter was in Korea earlier this year and was served jellyfish as part of a traditional banquet. She said that it was just like salty jelly.

Meg - I think you're being a bit too anthropomorphic.

How how vile, there are probably too many because of something off balance in the environment, it sounds like something from a horror film.

Let's hope they feel no pain if they don't have a spine but I'm not a jellyfish. It still sounds sickening.

I hold some grudges,I will never meet him again but I rehearse my lines.

Hello are you an illegitimate jelly fish?

Why do you ask?

Because you are a spineless bastard
