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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 days 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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Does the blowhole do in? Would that not make it a suckhole? I am admittedly ignorant in whale anatomy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I thought the blowhole had reverse ?? like, this is what they breathe in through, isn't it ?

Apparently yes : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowhole_(anatomy)

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

Yeah it definitely must be, here I am thinking they're mouth breathers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It can go from suck to blow.

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

Yeah, my blowhole does that, too.

A jaunty chapeau! Perched just so!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

*Salmoned just so!

(perch are too freshwater for this trend)

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

That's how she became- the Orca!

Its called fashion, look it up.

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

You'll change your tune when orcas develop infinitely renewable cold fusion, and salmon hats are the direct precursor to this discovery

[–] [email protected] 85 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Makes sense. Fashion is cyclical.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days 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

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 6 days 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] 28 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

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

Plot twist it was the salmon all the time

[–] Timecircleline 4 points 4 days ago

Fashion is cyclical, as they say.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 days ago

Only 80s orcas will understand it.

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

Its not a phase mom

"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"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

The Pixar film nobody asked for, but really needed.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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] 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

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] 9 points 5 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Jesus christ, I've been hearing about these fuckin' salmon hats all week

[–] explodicle 3 points 4 days ago

This is big news!

Whale skibidi

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

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