Turtle "Conservation" projects that involve foreigners as volunteers are some of the WORST in terms of reputation. Here are excerpts of just some of the many bad reviews on Trip Advisor for one such "conservation" project, the Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project, in Sri Lanka. Do a little digging and this is SO typical! of so many of these "conservation" projects.
(1) Deeply Saddened.
We were greeted by a man who spoke basic working English who rushed through a presentation in two minutes of the 5 types of sea turtle that visit Sri Lankan beaches. He clearly gives this speech numerous times a day and has become bored with it. It felt like a painful routine rather than the education of conservation.
When you walk inside, the signs clearly marked “DON NOT TOUCH THE TURTLES” are blatantly ignored. The staff encourages you to hold 1 day old turtles and take selfies with them.
I witnessed children throwing the baby turtles back into the pool and adults playing with them like toys. When I addressed the leader about this he just smiled turning a blind eye.
Further along the tour the staff (despite the no turtle touching sign) allow adults to pick up a 3-4year old 20kg turtle. The turtle flaps in the air as though he is stressed and not enjoying this. I watched 7 people take selfies in 5 mins. Imagine how many times this happens in a given, day, week, month.
I ask the tour guide “why they allow” this when the sign says “do not touch”. I questioned him “is this conservation?” He replied by saying “the tourists want pictures, we have to do it”.
(2) Disappointed
Seems very cruel to keep some turtles for years in a very confined ponds. My partner was very disturbed. Not our idea of eco-tourism. More interested in the money than the turtles.
(3) Scam in name of Turtle Conservation
*As you enter this Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project , you can just see how terrible conditions exists in this business model. The printed entrance tickets th

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”
“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.
The doctor says it terminal.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Said if she ever hosts a gender reveal party, when it comes time to pop the balloon she'll spray everyone with water.
Gender is fluid.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
And boy are my arms legs.
Put it on my bill
Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Calcium, nickel, neon
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Until he discovered it was extra sharp.
