It's spelled "fission" and has nothing to do with salmon hats...
/s
You'll change your tune when orcas develop infinitely renewable cold fusion, and salmon hats are the direct precursor to this discovery
Its not a phase mom
Fashion is cyclical, as they say.
Jesus christ, I've been hearing about these fuckin' salmon hats all week
This is big news!
'90's fashion is making a comeback here too, but damn... Didn't expect that to extend to the ocean
This for some reason made me think of Anya Taylor Joy
She could definitely pull of the look..
Fish being cruel to eachother, it's the same everywhere.
Orcas aren't fish
Monophyletically they are, orcas (and people) are far more closely related to bony fish like trout than any of those are to sharks. If trout and shark are both fish then monophyletically so are we and orcas.
Well, they are technically fish. Just like we and all other tetrapods are
Are we all bacteria too?
It's basically impossible to have a complete phylogenetic tree of bacteria and how they relate to eachother vs how they relate to common ancestors with the original eukaryotes let alone multicellular complex life. Prokaryotes as far as I know are seen as being a completely different branch more related to eachother than any eukaryotes so no, not really. Fish are a much more problematic group to exclude tetrapods from because bony fish like trouts, tuna etc are significantly more closely related to the tetrapods than either are to sharks and the other cartilagenous fish, all of which are more closely related to eachother than to the jawless fish like hagfish and lampreys.
Tldr, if both trout and sharks are fish then monophyletically people also fall under the category of "jawed fish"
They’re trying to show us the destruction we’re causing
Jailbreak from the factory farm. "Quick, no time to explain! Pretend you're my hat!"
The Pixar film nobody asked for, but really needed.
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.
"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:
Dude that author should be ashamed of themselves. How could you report on the topic and NOT provide a pic? Geesh.
She had style! She had flair! She was there...
That's how she became- the Orca!
In my experience, finding a relevant image in an online article is a 50-50
A jaunty chapeau! Perched just so!
*Salmoned just so!
(perch are too freshwater for this trend)
stylish

So they stretch it over their fin or what, how is it staying on
I was thinking, perhaps by sucking through the blowhole, but I haven't looked it up yet so don't trust me
Does the blowhole do in? Would that not make it a suckhole? I am admittedly ignorant in whale anatomy.
It can go from suck to blow.
Yeah, my blowhole does that, too.
I thought the blowhole had reverse ?? like, this is what they breathe in through, isn't it ?
Apparently yes : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowhole_(anatomy)
Yeah it definitely must be, here I am thinking they're mouth breathers.
Through sheer audacity
