Imagine if orcas start a fad so popular, humans start getting in on it, too, and it becomes the first ever cross-species fad.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 31 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

So I put a salmon on my head, which was the style at the time

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 41 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

but when I do it all i get is "please leave the store'

bs

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Because it's cultural appropriation!

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

when RDJ does blackface for a whole movie it's fine, I wear a salmon and get cancelled, doesn't seem fair

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What does Ricardo Demetrius Jackson have to do with any of this?

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah, he was just a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude!

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 7 points 4 days ago

Doesn’t count if your blowhole isn’t exposed. They go together.

[–] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 7 points 4 days ago

Did you wear your orca suit?

Fashion is a cycle.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 28 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oooo salmon hats— so hot right now!

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

i wonder if it confuses prey… maybe they just see the salmon and don’t recognize the rest of the Orca….

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I'm thinking more of a lure, have some nice rotten salmon smell leaking out of your "hat" and hope that some tasty fish, sharks or seals show up looking for a meal.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 30 points 4 days ago (2 children)

IIRC Orcas are one of the species that does shit that appears to have no biological advantage. Other species of dolphins do too.

Dolphins as a whole have some really creative behaviors, especially in social circles. And it appears that they do these things "for the hell of it."

[–] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 12 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Dolphins will get high on poisonous fish and pass those around like a blunt.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

We must give the dolphins edibles.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

they were already giving dolphins LSD, masturbating them and trying to make them speak English, i think we should just let them have their pufferfish

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

See, i feel like dolphins typically enjoy drugs. Make the offer at least.

I don't trust the masturbation was ethical, but they're horny and aware enough it could be in the future.

English was fucked up. But we should translate their language(s). Maybe teach them spanish or something less insane than fucking english.

[–] LwL@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

If humans are any indicator, they might also be doing things because they think it's an advantage but actually does nothing.

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 days ago

Both a fashion accessory and a perfume. Touche.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

Do they eat salmon? Maybe they are signaling to the humans that their ships and garbage are killing off their food.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 20 points 4 days ago

Meanwhile, trout mask replicas are always in style!
