Unfortunately Half as Interesting Incorporated does not have an $800 million topic R&D budget, so our low-budget alternative is to bully you all into giving us topics for free (well, sort of for free--we send free HAI t-shirts to anyone who suggests one we use, after a little while.) So, submit your topic idea here if we're going to call you a nerd: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUdlvw6YgU44J8AnM2U_ZvRMyvh_CUM51LYSqF5nYJB9d1-w/viewform?usp=sf_link

I'm 100% certain the Army Corp of Engineers would have gone with fish taser. Sadly, "taser" falls under the trademark of Taser International. "Electric dispersal barrier" was probably the backup name that the designers went with. It allowed the device to have a cool name, but also an acronym they could reference in every other sentence to make military jargon sound even more like a scrambled recitation of the alphabet.

Even if you include imported fish, it’s still about two-and-a-half times larger. America, you are an odd duck.

Potentially a class action or regular lawsuit from the people who suffered financial losses, which may probably include all the great lake states, and they come after you for damages. They could also probably get a few million separate charges of property damage or reckless endangerment, maybe murder if the collapse of the great lakes economy results in some suicides considering you knowingly and maliciously did this. Although it would be pretty much impossible to track down that it was you who did it (unless you leave a youtube comment about this plan like you just did)... The search area for potential suspects would basically be anyone in over a dozen states in the entire mississippi river basin, cross referenced with anyone in the 8 states bordering the great lakes, where they would have to have your vehicle and license plate tracked down across multiple state lines and potentially along thousands of miles of rural roads, and eliminate every other person traveling between the two watersheds. All you really have to do is show up with a fishing pole somewhere along the mississippi and start catching, put them in a few buckets or tubs of water with an aerator and battery power supply to keep the fish alive and drive it over to the great lakes to dump em in. You can basically ruin hundreds of thousands of lives over the course of a weekend if you really wanted.

Assuming anyone actually figured out it was you, I'm pretty sure ecoterrorism has crimes defined to cover pretty much anything you can do with the intent of damaging the environment (especially commercially important parts of the environment cause money). * Edit: I mean non-sanctioned actions of course. If you can figure out how to make destroying the environment in that way profitable and get a license from.. somebody.. then freedom baby!

Couldn't they have created a large conveyor that sticks out of the water that can carry the boats along but leaves the fish, since they'd be in the open air and can be either removed manually or would suffocate. Some places already have a system like this for other reasons but it could be more effective and cheaper.

That's not entirely accurate. Due to gravitational variances on the surface of the earth, time varies slightly. But then I think that is 'relative to the observer' so I guess it depends on whether you are located at that same place in Africa or not :-P
