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

[–] mrunicornman 28 points 2 months ago

Through sheer audacity

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (5 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 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 37 points 2 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:

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 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"

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 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 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.

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

Fashion is almost always uncomfortable

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

Beauty is pain; and pain beauty.

[–] ZeffSyde 3 points 2 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?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] StopTouchingYourPhone 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

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

Fashion is cyclical, as they say.

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

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

[–] tragicinfo 3 points 2 months ago

Its not a phase mom

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

This is big news!

[–] kerrigan778 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fish being cruel to eachother, it's the same everywhere.

[–] Blum0108 16 points 2 months ago (3 children)
[–] dantheclamman 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, they are technically fish. Just like we and all other tetrapods are

[–] Cocodapuf 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] kerrigan778 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's basically impossible to have a complete phylogenetic tree of bacteria and how they relate to eachother vs how they relate to common ancestors with the original eukaryotes let alone multicellular complex life. Prokaryotes as far as I know are seen as being a completely different branch more related to eachother than any eukaryotes so no, not really. Fish are a much more problematic group to exclude tetrapods from because bony fish like trouts, tuna etc are significantly more closely related to the tetrapods than either are to sharks and the other cartilagenous fish, all of which are more closely related to eachother than to the jawless fish like hagfish and lampreys.

Tldr, if both trout and sharks are fish then monophyletically people also fall under the category of "jawed fish"
