Because they want a fucking truce. Leave them alone.
accept the fish or they start attacking boats again
I feel that's fair. Also stop destroying the thing they need to live and breathe in.
but what about the billionaire's profits???
We won't even stop destroying the thing we need to live and breathe in.
It’s great how we’re finally acknowledging the intelligence of other animals as the default rather than isolated and unusual occurrences. Before the work of Doctor Goodall, we basically acted as those complex social dynamics were impossible or exceedingly unlikely.
Religion has for ever tainted morons' (read: most people) minds. That is the only place I ever heard how special and unique humans are supposedly.
Oh, it's poison. It's the most reductive aspect of our development.
So it's kanly then, is it. Chaumas, really?! As if my poison snooper wouldn't catch that
Plot twist: The handed fishes are highly contained with inorganic arsenic, and they're trying to kill humans with more sophisticated methods.
Don’t be fooled by their seeming friendliness: they’re just trying to fatten us up.
I got to the same conclusion but I was thinking of the orcas as grannys, complaining that we are too skinny and won't survive without a good layer of blubber.
Ferreal, though. They already rank among crows & wolves (as far as we can tell, ahem), and if their world is rapidly turning into acid, I can only imagine what they must assume that our, much smaller home biome must be doing...
Now, if they knew that it was us behind it all?! 🥲 It'd likely be a much different story — and I wouldn't blame them a bit. 🤷🏼♂️
Hey, waitaminute... If the oligarchs are building bigger and more numerous yachts while the landmasses crisp to fund their puny, plastic existences... Can we use LLMs to share that info with these seawolves? (How do you even say "luigi" in orca?)
Yacht evokes images of sail ships but those billionaire yachts are more like ferries. I don't think the orcas can take them out (unless you supply the c4).
NGL, if orcas can deploy c4, I feel it'd only be neighborly to figure out how to supply it.
I mean, sheeyit. We gotta step it up as a fuckin' species if they're out there, more than capable of planting high-tech explosive devices invented by self-important monkey-cousins who generally can't even swim. 😅😶
fun fact, the US military maintains and employs many aquatic non human mammalians.
So, you're saying there's a foundation to work from already. 🤔🤓
They read the book: “To Serve Man”
They're trying to make pets of us.
We’ll make great pets.
Orcas: maybe if we feed them they’ll stop killing everything they must be very hungry.
Orcas have never given me anything! Why don’t they like me? Is it because I pooped in the ocean that one time?
where the fuck do you think orcas poo?
Probably on the fish they’re “gifting” to humans
Does an orca shit in the woods?
if no can smell it, does the orca shit in the forest smells?
I don’t think the orca knows his ass from a hole in the ocean.
So long and thanks for all the fish?
