"Scientists aren't sure why the orcas are going after rudders, but the incident near France was farther north than previous encounters, which have occurred near Spain and Portugal. This suggests that more than one pod of orcas have picked up the behavior, Renaud de Stephanis, president and coordinator at CIRCE Conservación Information and Research, a cetacean research group based in Spain, told NPR.
Orcas are social animals and do sometimes pick up behaviors from one another in a way that strongly resembles human fads. In 1987, for example, orcas in the Puget Sound began wearing dead salmon like hats. According to a 2004 paper in Biological Conservation, one female orca started the trend, and it spread like a viral TikTok challenge through two other pods. After about six weeks, the orcas stopped putting salmon on their heads; a few tried to bring the trend back the next summer, but the fad was done."

This is how grunge really began.
:pseudorca: Stop trying to make salmoning happen. It's NOT going to happen!
YES finally new emojis that are indecipherable if you don't understand the in joke that happened four months ago on a 4 like thread, but find themselves being used in a variety of contexts that make them timeless and always remembered until you try and use it yourself and can't find it in the search bar. Been a while since I've seen a new crop of those. :absolutely-safe-capsule:
I was wondering about the origins of :PIGPOOPBALLS: this morning during a BM.
Oh god, amazing you weren't here when that happened, the reason it became such a bit on r/CTH was because it was a really effective tactic to shut down nerds, liberals, and fascists (I repeat myself) by refusing to engage and just either asking them to "post hog" (which one nazi actually did, I was there, I saw the dick) or would just link them the PPB image until they stopped talking. That's the origin story.
Orcas are wearing Che t-shirts, smoking cigars, and sinking fishing boats. It might be a fad.
Thought this said orcs.
First I was pissed at racist bullshit, then wondered what it had to do with Russian soldiers and supporting Ukraine Nazis.
i refuse to accept that those white spots aren't their real eyes
need to know if it included refugee boats or not to know whether its based
edit: to clarify attacking the refugees would make it not based
This goes out to everyone here who said that propaganda by the deed doesn't work
