Dude that author should be ashamed of themselves. How could you report on the topic and NOT provide a pic? Geesh.

So they stretch it over their fin or what, how is it staying on

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

Through sheer audacity

I was thinking, perhaps by sucking through the blowhole, but I haven't looked it up yet so don't trust me

In my experience, finding a relevant image in an online article is a 50-50

She had style! She had flair! She was there...

That's how she became- the Orca!

Makes sense. Fashion is cyclical.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

Yeah, these young orcas today think they know it all. Always vandalizing yachts, and harassing the poor seals. I'm like just eat your food. Stop flinging it around.

This for some reason made me think of Anya Taylor Joy

It's a sign. People are going to start planking again.

I'm almost certain orcas have near human level intelligence but because of their lack of suitable appendages, this is their only way to show it.

They are trying to talk to us and we are too stupid to listen.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago

"near human level intelligence" well, they are smarter then the average US citizen, that's for sure. I prefer to wear a dead salmon as a hat a million times over voting for Trump. It's the smarter choice. Orca's are like dolphins:

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

Only 80s orcas will understand it.

"oh, so we stopped being weird and y'all still made anti planet governments in charge? okay. then we're going back to being weird and violent. fuck you"

Under water, with no hands, how are they getting the fish in place? And perhaps more difficult, how do they keep it there? Anyone aware of a video?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm completely guessing, are they able to create suction with their blowhole?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Some people have posted pictures in the thread now, and it looks like you might be correct. Seems odd - the blowhole is analogous to a nostril. Sucking something against your nose a swimming seems like it would be uncomfortable.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Fashion is almost always uncomfortable

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Beauty is pain; and pain beauty.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Correct! High heels are seldom comfortable and rarely rational.

Maybe the orcas are trying to show off that they are hard and can hold their breath longer?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They’re trying to show us the destruction we’re causing

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Jailbreak from the factory farm. "Quick, no time to explain! Pretend you're my hat!"

The Pixar film nobody asked for, but really needed.

Skibidy Salmon dum! dum! dum! yes! yes!

Its called fashion, look it up.

It's spelled "fission" and has nothing to do with salmon hats...

'90's fashion is making a comeback here too, but damn... Didn't expect that to extend to the ocean

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So it's not just humans who are into the 80s…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

It'll be the latest trend at the Orca's this year.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Fashion is cyclical, as they say.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Its not a phase mom

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

A trend every Destiny player understands and agrees with.
