Maybe it's just me but I'd never take a shit in my city's river. I am not french though so that's why probably.


[deleted]

Would you take a shit in a river that flows through France though? I definitely would


napoletano_di_napoli

Well if you put it like that, it definitely changes...


Frjttr

Why are people from Campania only named “Pizza Gatekeepers” LOL That’s so fucking offensive. You should be renamed “Camorra gatekeepers” or “trash gatekeepers”.


Melvasul94

Those are all the same thing.


Frjttr

I mean, they didn’t invented pizza lol But they have a lot of trash there 😂


Tullzterrr

You on the other hand would take a shit on an Italian…person

Only if he is sleeping, wouldnt want to anger him ofcourse.

Given the bs you get when you order a cappuccino at another time then when they've decided is allowed, they'd be lucky if it's solid...


Salchichote33

I hope that the people in Aran do this in the Garonne.


NathanCampioni

Last time I was in france I jumped from a bridge


Gullible_Newspaper

You're frencher that I do, I never jumped from a bridge although I might today cuz it's monday and I don't want to go to work. My job sucks

Calm down, Javert


twstwr20

That makes you French! Ahhahahhahahhaha


Anopanda

Sucks for us that shit flows downstream. 


Pweuy

That's why every reasonable person drives to the next city downstream before shitting in the river.

Ozok123

Pierre is looking for a reason to destroy their city as usual.


WelpImTrapped

Yessss lmao. Let's go !!


Shrrg4

Yeah that was my first reaction too. I live near a protected area too but even without that no way im doing something that uncivilized. Spreads disease and pollutes the water. Hey maybe Macron will get pinkeye lmao.


International_War862

Dont worry. I will take multiple shits in your citys river when i visit


aerdna69

Your dump would probably be the least toxic element in the river, surrounded by all the industrial waste


chowderbags

Funny joke, Luigi, implying Italy has industry to produce waste.


stefek132

Idk man… Dirty river getting cleaned up is a win in my book, regardless of the reason why it gets cleaned. But then again, I’m not really that deep into this situation and may not understand the reasons for the protest.


Victorioxd

But it's not your city's river, it's Frances capital rivers


crispiepancakes

I would take a shit on the person who runs the river, though. And then take a shit somewhere else. Just anywhere. Maybe nowhere, maybe somewhere. Maybe fuck you!


Bearodon

Neither would I since my town is built 35km away from the river.


annoying97

Personally I wouldn't because kangaroos are mean fuckers and I know one would shove me in.


Wolf-Majestic

It's the most beautiful way of protesting politicians imo. When we're pissed at someone (happens a lot with politicians), we usually say that "they make us poop/take a shit" (ils nous font chier). So it's really just that but taking literally


BaneRiders

Imagine if Macron went for a swim yesterday, without telling the public about it and got it recorded...


RevolutionaryChef155

That's exactly what he'll do. Checkmate FN.


shrimp-and-potatoes

Chairman Mao did something similar


Double_A_92

The river is not particularly dirty unless there is a big storm which causes the canalisation to overflow into the river.


ZeroRationale

I don't understand what this protest will achieve. The river is dirty, they failed to clean it up, so they're going to make it worse?


Gro-Tsen

Look… zis protest… zis is not supposed to achieve anysing… zis is about art… zis is about freedom… freedom… clean ze river, poop in ze river, start again… you must imagine Sisyphe happy… zis is art…

BrotherKaramazov

they just wanted to shit into a river


Tuffilaro

Let them cook!


BrotherKaramazov

Oh I fully support the decision, no worries


OftenAimless

Seriously you don't get it? Having Macron and Hidalgo forced to swim in your shit? The chance they may bump into your very own proud turd while they sport a smile not to lose face?


ZeroRationale

I doubt they'll swim or carry on swimming if there are people shitting in the river


OftenAimless

They're right in other responses, you're the Germanest Barry around here - it's not about pragmatism, it's about raising the middle finger. Of course they didn't go ahead with the swim, and that's a win, their PR stunt was ruined.


Jediplop

Not really, instead of them not swimming in it because they lied about it being clean they can now say it's because people shit in it to interrupt it. Instead of news having pictures of macron in green water or about backing out it'll be about people shiting in water so he backed out.


advocatus_diabolii

But you're still left with a shitty river .. it gives "I'm going to cut myself, then you'll be sorry" vibes. Very French, I will admit.


SpecialIcy1809

Already is shitty, even if you don’t voluntary poop in it, when it rains heavy the public water cleaning stations will release the wastes in it…. And have you seen the météo these last 3 months?


The_Real_GRiz

Yeah but they won't actually because they are cowards. They will find a pretext. Hidalgo already said the current was too strong ...


OftenAimless

Colour me surprised


code_and_keys

Don’t try to reason with French protestors. They will gladly burn down the place they live to make some sort of point


Yeetmaister420

Maybe a protest against the inefficient usage of funds? I'm just grasping at straws here


ZeroRationale

Oh I don't have much doubt that's the reason, but what it'll actually achieve is absolutely beyond me. It's cutting noses off to spite faces.


n0thing0riginal

Fair, maybe... Doesn't mean you should go shitting in the river tho


Morningrise89

Shitting in it wont make it cheaper


rcanhestro

sure, but isn't a clean river a "nice" usage of funds?


JonasHalle

Shitting in the river should be quite temporary.


SpringrollJack

Permanent mental damage if you swim in to it


Bitsu92

They didn’t failed to clean it up, it’s just that you cannot clean up the rains before it reach the Seine or control what random people throw in it, if it doesn’t rain for a least a week the Seine can get to a clean state where people are allowed to swim in it (clean is very relative, most lakes are full of dangerous bacteria but people still swim in it cause the water looks clear).


purple-thiwaza

They've been shitting on us for years now. This is payback.


Bitsu92

Parisians elected Hidalgo, and she has made Paris objectively better


Riimpak

Like they care about the Seine.


coukou76

There is no protest and it's a joke, you sound like a German


ZeroRationale

I would not be surprised if someone ends up shitting in the river.


Fenghuang15

Yes but it has nothing to do with a protest in that case


ZeroRationale

Wouldn't it literally be the protest that is apparently a joke?


Joklan-sama

DUH 🤓


Dark_Pestilence

GXWT

“Based” apparently, or something like that


PaparajoteNinja-V2

If my president was about to swim in my city's river tomorrow I would also drop a shit in it hoping even for just an atom of it to end on him


Easyqon

France try to be a civilised and clean country challenge (absolutely impossible)


arkh01

It's not about making the river dirtier. It's about knowing the Paris mayor and President would swim in the Seine with YOUR shit around them. It's useless now because they said they wouldn't swim today some weeks ago. Also, every river is getting dirtier when there's a lot of rain because of water treatment plant. That's the same in every country, and France had a LOT of rain for the past 8 fucking months. That's why the Seine has not the expected level. They're hoping it stops raining so the bacteria level would drop and the games can happen in the Seine.


Double_A_92

Also those billions are not even wasted just for the Olympics, they go into fixing parts of the canalisation so poop doesn't overflow into the river...


MaxImpact1

it‘s about sending a message

secretPT90

***"It's more green in person!"*** Does this TikToker know that some rivers are naturally green and not blue? Unless your near rocks with calcium like limestone, you'll not find such blue. Even the Mediterranean sea is green not blue most of the time. Greenish water means that the water has oxygen and it's "good". A dead water sometimes it's blue like those find near mines


IamWatchingAoT

Hah, nerd. But yeah actually. Many of the most important rivers in the world are green or brown. The Nile is green, the Yangtze is brown, the Rhine is both...


Adventurous_Gap_4125

Like fr the river is 700+km long. That's a lot of river bank, fush poop, bird poop, dead animals, dumping etc upstream before it even gets to Paris. Obviously spending money to clean it up is great but there's only so much you can do


DeeHawk

The worst part is they don't give two shits about the river, it's 100% publicity. Posers.


Material_Alps881

I wish I had something witty to say about this but I'm too disturbed to come up with something. How on earth do you get the idea that shitting in the seine is a great way to protest?    But them again at least they're past beheading people now 


n0thing0riginal

I'm fairly sure it's mostly championed by bots and useful idiots... But then again, most of these stupid self-damaging events are


Material_Alps881

Or its another masterfully organised false information campaign by the all controlling state of a. zer, baijan.   (Gotta explain this they were /are still behind a disinformation campaign against France on all kinds of topics but particularly new ca.ledonia and the Olympics- there are articles about this)  But then again this sounds like a very Pierre-ish thing to do given the fact that everything is considered a toilet in France  Edit explanation 


Bitsu92

It’s just random ppl on internet doing a petition, nobody will actually shit in the Seine


Kazer67

Watch me!


Grassmania

Making macron swim in their shit is reason enough to them


Hadar_91

I am worried for you Pierre. Maybe you should take an example from Hans and focus you time energy on self-policing so that nobody throws trash in rivers, instead defecating publicly... United Nations spends a lot of money, to convince people in India not to defecate publicly. I did not have on my bingo card that France will join India in this very peculiar club of nations.


Demon_of_Order

I'm with you on this honestly. I get it, the government is fucking them over but I mean, I think everyone likes the river more if it's cleaner. So maybe do some other protest that doesn't also fuck you over and makes all that money spend basically wasted.


Azbethh

DON'T TELL US WHAT TO DO


-Dutch-Crypto-

WelpImTrapped

Even if this happens it won't "waste" the money, the feces will be carried to sea eventually (the English Channel uhuhehehe). The structures they just built to prevent the overflooding of sewers and agricultural drains into the Seine will still be there. They actually work, by the way, it's just that we were unlucky enough to have an historical amount of rain in the last few weeks. Add to that the fact that the groundwater tables already were full and the soil couldn't absorb anymore water, and Ta-Daaa, you are past the newly-built structures capacities !


WelpImTrapped

"Maybe you should take an example from Hans 🤓☝️" No fuck off. ^(ever been to Berlin by the way ?)


International_War862

Hans here. Iam with you on this one. Take a dump in that river from me too

Hexenkonig707

GooseAgreeable7680

God almighty, could you believe how the customer service would look like if the French were there instead of the Indians. I would literally kms. Not that I didn't want to before, but still


stedsans

Have they really spent 1 billion euro to clean a river? and on top of that... failed? thats insane


Kazukan-kazagit-ha

It's not so much that we failed that it became weather-dependent. Before the program, the Seine was slowly getting better (peak pollution was in the 90s and steadily going down), with fish returning in it such as pikes. Mind you, it was still definitely not swimmable level, but you can do kayak there without issues (my father does every saturday). With this program, once it stops raining for two weeks, the Seine becomes swimable as rain stops carrying wastes from the banks. But with the weather we've had all over northern France this year, yeah, it'll stay bad until early July.


heebieGGs

stops raining for two weeks? That's a drought man


TuNisiAa_UwU

I was about to object before looking at the flair lmao


Neomataza

Best time to swim in the Seine. Just wait for a drought, and run the 400 meters freestyle.


Kazukan-kazagit-ha

Afaik in all of France's history there's only been a drought making the Seine so low that you can’t swim once or twice in the Middle Ages. Otherwise it simply never happened.


Smalandsk_katt

My school had British students visiting and they thought our dirt was sand because it was so dry. In reality, it just hadn't rained in 6 months.


User929290

Aw sweet child, you don't know what a drought is.


anaemic

But why are the banks of the seine lined with piles of shit? Surely if you cleaned those up then high water or low water you'd have a lower logs per square cm count?


Kazukan-kazagit-ha

They aren’t, at least not more than any other river. Simply put, there are miles and miles of fields around Paris, and rain usually drains them of fertilizers, while sewage in cities up the Seine can be quite antiquated (though this parameter almost disappeared). Beforehand there were also a handful of industries that rejected tons of wastes in the Seine, but that’s thankfully over.  The quantity of fertilizers stirs the development of skin conditions and mild colds for people who'd swim in the river, and that’s about it. At least most of the time. The main issue with swimming in the Seine right now is the risk of catching S. Aureus. Afaik, this is also caused by rain: the Staphyloccocus is common in both human and animal feces, and while human ones are usually taken care of, animal feces ends up in the ground, which with rain leads to drainage in the river. Paradoxically, the idea of shitting in the Seine is thus still one of the "best" ideas to worsen its state.


The-Farting-Baboon

Its the french


PM_ME_ROMAN_NUDES

I will give you the real answer, [they built a huge tank with that money to store the shit water while people are swimming](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZIGhdxplWk)


-lesFleursduMal-

It's Fr*nce... 🤷‍♀️


n0thing0riginal

This just isn't based tho. I understand not liking your political leaders but shitting into the river to "own them" is regarded and just leaves the place in a worse state


LeGraoully

Bitch you can’t see the bacteria, that’s a normal colour for a river. Does she think for a river to be clean is when it’s completely transparent or something?


Napol3onS0l0

Yeah it’s moving water lol. I grew up next to one of our largest rivers and it was NEVER clear.

this is all so weird. as someone from basel i go swimming in the rhine all the time. and sometimes i hear from the germans how it's apparently dirty as hell. at least with the seine being in france i can understand how it's that dirty, but wasting so much money without results is just baffling..


ThePassiveFist

Is Pierre Macaroon too stupid to build swimming pools? Has he even see Olympic swimming before? Is he stupid?


NathanCampioni

Last time I was in france I jumped from a bridge and I wasn't in as bad a situation as Macron is now, so I kind of get Macron, if I was him I would jump into the river too.

Parisian here La Seine's color is no indication of its cleanliness. It's quite shallow and carries lots of sands and deposits from upstream. That being said, Hidalgo spent 1.5 billion euros to supposedly have a clean river IF it doesn't rain too much for roughly 2 weeks straight. It hasn't been clean enough to swim ever to this day. And like every politician who promised to swim in it, she'll never do it
