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.

Only one explanation: The whales can access the internet

You'd think they'd just use Spotify then instead of hunting music boats

Yeah when I think about how to calm wild animals down, blasting metal is my go-to.

... I have a cat that falls asleep with loud metal music

cordlesslamp@lemmy.today · 21 pts · 2y (2 replies)

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.

Cats aren't normal animals.

Cats aren't normal animals, whatever the hell they're.

Because of, or in spite of the music?

Have they considered befriending the whales, or at least bribing them?

Haggunenons@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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.

This was before we turned their habitat into a toxic sludge superfreeway and exterminated their food supply.

Shazbot@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 2y

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.

woodenskewer@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 2y

Get out of the pit if you can't hang, boat.

gibmiser@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 2y (8 replies)

I'm rooting for the orcas. Can't blame them.

That gen'd? Looks neat apart from text

Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 2y (4 replies)

Time to play the game: Is it AI or is it Dutch?

solariplex@slrpnk.net · 5 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Oh shit it Dutch? Didn't intend to offend, friend.

I can usually kinda tell what a Dutch text says (am norwegian), but this time it was particularly difficult

Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Haha I don't think it's actually Dutch, I meant that as a joke lol

Yeah there’s some funky hand/arm stuff too which implies generated art.

I promise you, their solution will be "murder the orcas"

meat_popsicle@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y

…it’s the easy answer so it’s the most likely.

anarchy79@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

That has been the solution to a non-existent problem for the better part of a century.

Yes batmetal is phenomenal as well

Yea but have you considered https://yewtu.be/watch?v=SxOtD7OZ294

HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml · 13 pts · 2y (4 replies)

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.

photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 12 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Its not colonization if you can't change their hearts and minds. Shit, we can't even communicate. This is more like war.

bouh@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y

Like genocide.

anarchy79@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Colonization requires zero convincing of hearts and minds, where did you get that from?

photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 2y

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.

Must be playing Metalcore, I'd pummel them too

768@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I like Metalcore, but I don't like Djent or a lot of Prog or Mathcore. Saying something is metalcore also is already kinda like something is undefined rock music.

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

The point I'm trying to make is: Have Saylors tried Taylor Swift?
