    I just don’t understand how they wear them as hats and none of the articles have a picture.

    I remember a biologist commenting about weird orcas behavior “They’re smart enough that they could just be fucking with us”

    It’s well known that orcas pick up “games” that are basically fads. They find stuff to entertain themselves and keep at it until they grow bored of it.

    Basically pre-internet humans.

    Can they live that long? Maybe one of them remembered and had a nostalgia moment, then the rest of the pod caught up

        So I wore an salmon on my head, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. “Gimme five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now where were we… oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an salmon on my head, which was the style at the time. I didn’t have any pink salmon, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big white ones…

        is the 40 year gap a natural phenomenon or human contributed?

        And then the younger orcas won’t get why it’s ironic and will think it’s actually cool and wear them sincerely, and it will slowly become unfashionable again. Until another 30-40 years pass.

        Maybe they’re celebrating the damage humans are doing to themselves and are excited about a time where they’re once again the biggest brained, smartest mammal on earth.

        Maybe.

      I saw a girl wearing parachute pants on Tuesday. Looks like orcas follow the same fashion cycle.
