Trawling to trolling is only a Levenshtein distance of two.
- bigDinosaur 5y agoNot sure what your point is. Are you saying I'm trolling because I'm saying that consumers will mostly be fine with farmed (and possibly 'lab grown') alternatives in the future? The sources used for our food have changed dramatically over time, no reason for that to not happen again.
- kuhewa 5y agoBut there are highly abundant stocks of wild fish that can be harvested sustainably en masse, like pollock, it's really hard for scalefish aquaculture to entirely outcompete the simplicity of that — allowing nature to feed your fish and control all the necessary variables. I don't think we'll see capture fisheries totally disappear.
- jacobolus 5y agoTrolling is a fishing term. The sense of 'internet troll' is based on a fishing metaphor. Trawling and trolling are slightly different fishing techniques. Both are ways to catch fish from a moving boat, but trawling involves dragging a net, while trolling means trailing a baited line.
- bigDinosaur 5y agoHuh, the more one learns.
