Mike Masnick: The fact that it's just bored teenaged orcas looking for something to entertain themselves, and that something happens to be sinking boats, somehow makes this story even better. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

The fact that it's just bored teenaged orcas looking for something to entertain themselves, and that something happens to be sinking boats, somehow makes this story even better. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Killer whales keep ramming and sinking boats. Scientists now may know why, report says.www.usatoday.com An international group of orca experts met to determine why orcas are ramming boats. The leading theory: They're bored and playful.

Guess we shouldn’t have cut funding for their after school programs.

I see what you did and I'm mad about it

orcas strike again🥂🥳🎉 this shirt i made is gonna be relevant forever

Orca Shirttransgender.gay Demonstrate your full support for Orcas in their valiant protracted porpoise war against yachts. 100% of all proceeds go towards me being able to afford food.

Oh, this one has a femme cut version (tank), I might have to splurge and get it

I’ll model mine for you soon!

Yes please!! ☺️

😂

that’s peak radicalization conditions, let’s all thank god they don’t have facebook

They got shrimp orca Jesus on there.

This report is actually just like a nyt columnist telling you the kids protesting don't know why they are doing it. Counter revolutionary propaganda against the brave orca radicals. Who are of course trying to stop cop city.

I was chuckling before I got to this reply. Now I’m laughing out loud.

Hoodlum teen orcas, sinking boats, smoking behind the 7-11, hassling the squares.

“It’s a very sophisticated thing to do something for no purpose other than that it amuses you.” No kidding!

Like, my brother in Christ there are space machines working right now with less computing power than the average gaming laptop.

What the hell? The last thing I expected to read in this story about is how Orcas briefly wore dead salmon on their head until it went out of style. Another victim of wokeness.

Can’t wear a dead fish on your head any more because of woke.

Now I’m just picturing them swarming the boat wearing denim and blasting Breaking the Law by Judas Priest

Wearing little orca hoodies

And here I thought bsky.app/profile/ygal...

If they had digits they'd form some amazing punk bands.

Who needs digits, acapella punk orca bands!

😂👍

Overheard

The lack of third spaces have driven teenage orcas to find other things to do.

See, this is what happens. You said if we got an orca that you'd play with them all the time and now look

Wasn't that also why seals were putting eels up their noses a few years ago?

I'm pretty sure that was the presumption from the beginning? I recall when the story first broke an expert was saying that sometimes an orca sees another do something and decides it looks fun and it becomes a fad.

Don't orcas do shit like wear hats? www.iflscience.com/in-1987-orca...

In 1987, Orcas Had A Fashion Of Wearing A Dead Salmon As A Hatwww.iflscience.com For one summer only, a strange trend spread around several pods.

"Which was the style at the time..."

They did stop doing that so the temporality of your statement is accurate.

This picture gives me joy

This is the best thing I’ve read in a while. Learning that in the 80s adolescent orcas started wearing dead salmons on their heads and it spread to the adults and then the fad was over within the space of months gives me immeasurable joy.

Teenagers be: "Well, now the olds are doing it, so it's all ruined."

This is the coolest possible explanation. Maybe they're as smart as the dolphins, even.

Orcas are the largest species of dolphin ☺️ so yes, they are!

The scientists wanna try to stop it and now I want to protest a bunch of scientists for the first time in my life. Mind your own bidness, buncha busybody killjoys.

“The ocean is really boring”😂

Refer them to the desking episode of Abbott.

I think yachts should drop orca toys.

Yachts =are= orca toys.

Fair.

Like they do.

And why not

Teenage gangs.
