They’re just trying to start a mosh pit.

DigitalTraveler42,

They just need to play the whales some Gojira

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

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.

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

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

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.

bouh,

Like genocide.

I see an expert in YT saying that you can calm a Cougar with “pspspspsps”.

Laticauda,

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

Shazbot,

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.

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.

homesweethomeMrL,

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

FFS.

BleatingZombie,

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

circasurvivor, (edited )

Because of, or in spite of the music?

cordlesslamp,

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.

Gojira really was ahead of it’s time yewtu.be/watch?v=Qqg8bsDayak

kool_newt,

I wonder if some orcas were trained to do this by some country and then released and it spread. Militaries do weird shit.

I heard that giving orcas torpedoes deters the attacks, maybe try that next?
