    Under the first headline it shows that the sailors were using online platforms to share this tip. This reminds me of those viral messages of recharging your batteries in the microwave.

        Cats are just a whole other being of existence. My cat fell asleep next to the wooden cabinet that I’m hammering down at full force, but got scared shitless and zooming to hide when I dropped a spoon.

      Killer Whales and humans have a long history of friendship and cooperative hunting. The orcas would lead people to large balleen whales, and the humans would spear them, taking most of the meat, but leaving the lips and tongue as payment to the Orcas.

      Was thinking something similar. What if the whales just don’t like the sailors’ taste in heavy metal? Have we tried passing the aux to the whales? This could be a valuable learning experience.

    Honestly we deserve it. Orcas are considered sapient and on par with human intelligence by many experts, and one could argue we’re colonizing them.

          Well, usually when you colonize, you destroy the native tongue and culture, to better assimilate them into your own. Spread the word of the good lord and all that. But I guess you can colonize mars, so I guess it’s not a requirement. My mistake. I wouldn’t say we’re colonizing orcas, though.

    Maybe they dislike the genre and while some swim away others might tackle the issue more hands on.
