Dude that author should be ashamed of themselves. How could you report on the topic and NOT provide a pic? Geesh.

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 6 points 4 days ago

In my experience, finding a relevant image in an online article is a 50-50

So they stretch it over their fin or what, how is it staying on

[–] mrunicornman@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago

Through sheer audacity

A jaunty chapeau! Perched just so!

[–] Pretzilla@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

*Salmoned just so!

(perch are too freshwater for this trend)

She had style! She had flair! She was there...

That's how she became- the Orca!

Its called fashion, look it up.

It's spelled "fission" and has nothing to do with salmon hats...

You'll change your tune when orcas develop infinitely renewable cold fusion, and salmon hats are the direct precursor to this discovery

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 85 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Makes sense. Fashion is cyclical.

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 20 points 5 days ago

Yeah, these young orcas today think they know it all. Always vandalizing yachts, and harassing the poor seals. I'm like just eat your food. Stop flinging it around.

This for some reason made me think of Anya Taylor Joy

I'm almost certain orcas have near human level intelligence but because of their lack of suitable appendages, this is their only way to show it.

They are trying to talk to us and we are too stupid to listen.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 37 points 5 days ago

"near human level intelligence" well, they are smarter then the average US citizen, that's for sure. I prefer to wear a dead salmon as a hat a million times over voting for Trump. It's the smarter choice. Orca's are like dolphins:

Fashion is cyclical, as they say.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 28 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's a sign. People are going to start planking again.

[–] heckypecky@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

Plot twist it was the salmon all the time

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 26 points 5 days ago

Only 80s orcas will understand it.

[–] tragicinfo@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Its not a phase mom

"oh, so we stopped being weird and y'all still made anti planet governments in charge? okay. then we're going back to being weird and violent. fuck you"

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They’re trying to show us the destruction we’re causing

[–] StopTouchingYourPhone@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Jailbreak from the factory farm. "Quick, no time to explain! Pretend you're my hat!"

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

The Pixar film nobody asked for, but really needed.

[–] Pheral@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

'90's fashion is making a comeback here too, but damn... Didn't expect that to extend to the ocean

[–] JoeyJoeJoeJr@lemmy.ml 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Under water, with no hands, how are they getting the fish in place? And perhaps more difficult, how do they keep it there? Anyone aware of a video?

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm completely guessing, are they able to create suction with their blowhole?

[–] JoeyJoeJoeJr@lemmy.ml 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Some people have posted pictures in the thread now, and it looks like you might be correct. Seems odd - the blowhole is analogous to a nostril. Sucking something against your nose a swimming seems like it would be uncomfortable.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 17 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Fashion is almost always uncomfortable

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Correct! High heels are seldom comfortable and rarely rational.

Maybe the orcas are trying to show off that they are hard and can hold their breath longer?

Beauty is pain; and pain beauty.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Jesus christ, I've been hearing about these fuckin' salmon hats all week

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

This is big news!
