Orcas (so called “killer whales”) aren’t whales at all, they’re actually dolphins.
Cladistically dolphins are a type of toothed whale. They’re more closely related to species like sperm whales than toothed whales and baleen whales are to each other.
Depends on how your language classifies their names I guess.
Cetaceans technically, dolphins being the most well-known cetacean.I was hasty, they are actually in the dolphin family, Delphinidae. Neat.
Are you saying the Bible is a lie?
tbf the guy famously survived
Yes, people didn’t exist back then.
They’re Orcas, not “Killer whales”.
They’re Maine Coons, not ‘House Cats’
They’re just commonly understood colloquial names.
Iirc it was a mistranslation and the actual name translated to whale killer.
no, it’s illegal to eat humans.
Can’t believe the woke mob is coming for Pinocchio /s
…yet
Don’t worry, whales don’t attack humans in the wild
Only at theme parks
sure but if i’m in the position where the silver lining is “that whale can’t actually swallow you” i feel like i’m already done for.
if nothing else i can’t imagine that being in the mouth of a whale would be good for my micromort intakesome can.
some can try, but cant.
some cant even try as their mouths dont allow for it
The orca would rip you to bits before eating you.
Actually, the last documented orca attack in the wild was in the 1800s. The orca bit the human once and spit the guy out. Didn’t even sever the arm that got bitten. Orcas as a species will eat anything in the water, including the occasional polar bear, except us. Individual Orcas have very narrow diets depending on the pod. Their eating habits are fascinating if you look into them.
Now if the orca was put into a fishbowl, and forced to do tricks while in solitary confinement? Well PTSD is a motherfucker.
🤔 What does a lobster diver taste like?
Like it must be crunchy due to the equipment and bones. And then the bubbles from the equipment must be a unique experience. And since they eat a lot of lobster they must be quite tasty.
But then you do pay later with indigestion due to the suit.
probably
I only hope
I heard a story a while back about A SCUBA diver that was sort of swallowed by a whale. He was allegedly all the way in, then the whale spat him out and he was only bruised. It appeared to be an accident. But if I remember correctly, the credibility of the story was in question.
Sooooo… not sure why I answered. Well I’m this far now…
