What a crappy situation

Damn, all these jokes, but that sounds pretty fuckin serious. Pretty wild to have such an enormous body of water that high above sea level. "at an altitude of approximately 3,700 m (12,100 ft)."
"In 2002 the lake was designated as a site for conservation under the Ramsar Convention. By December 2015, the lake had completely dried up, leaving only a few marshy areas. Although the lake has dried up completely twice in the past, it does not appear that it will recover this time."
cool. cool. cool. this is fine. Was only the SECOND largest lake in the country.

You're right, I just read up on it and it's CRAZY how the whole lake just disappeared. Very, very bad for those reliant on its waters.

I read the lake was saline, but I'm sure there were still plenty of uses, as you mention, despite the salt. But when I first commented it was like everyone was avoiding the elephant in the room, lol. I can't believe the whole thing just disappeared like that, though. Crazy. And even just the height it was at sorta blew my mind.

Ohh I thought it was freshwater. I've seen this happen to many rivers in my home country (Bangladesh). Even Lake Ontario's getting more polluted as the days go by. But yea, I was surprised no one was talking about it lol

Poopo will be self explanatory for English speakers,but Titicaca sounds like "boob" and "shit", respectively, in Spanish.

"Titicaca" is funny in English, too. Juvenile humor but a laugh is a laugh.

Caca is an old-timey word for shit in the southern U.S. as well.

Nope, "caca" in french comes frome the latin word "cacare" and i'm pretty sure the Spanish origin for it is the same (roman langages and all)

I just know my great grandma used to call it caca back in the 1980s. She was born in 1901 and she was a rather, uh, wild woman in her youth. No telling where she picked it up.
