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

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 7 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] mrunicornman@lemmy.world 28 points 7 months 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

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months 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)

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

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

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It can go from suck to blow.

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

Makes sense. Fashion is cyclical.

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months 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.

Ahh yes, MOGA. Make Ocean Great Again. Those guys.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This for some reason made me think of Anya Taylor Joy

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

She could definitely pull of the look..

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.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 37 points 7 months 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:

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 26 points 7 months 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"

[–] JoeyJoeJoeJr@lemmy.ml 16 points 7 months 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?

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] JoeyJoeJoeJr@lemmy.ml 11 points 7 months 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.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 17 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Fashion is almost always uncomfortable

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 7 months ago

Beauty is pain; and pain beauty.

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months 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?

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] StopTouchingYourPhone@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] tragicinfo@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Its called fashion, look it up.

[–] Juice@midwest.social 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mim@lemmy.zip 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 4 points 7 months ago

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

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

Fashion is cyclical, as they say.

[–] tragicinfo@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Its not a phase mom

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

A trend every Destiny player understands and agrees with.
