The fact that it's just bored teenaged orcas looking for something to entertain themselves, and that something happens to be sinking boats, somehow makes this story even better. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Killer whales keep ramming and sinking boats. Scientists now may know why, report says.

An international group of orca experts met to determine why orcas are ramming boats. The leading theory: They're bored and playful.

"In the Pacific Northwest, one group of killer whales suddenly got into the habit of carrying dead salmon around on their heads in 1987. The fad arose and spread widely among the group that summer." I was today years old when I learned whales have memes

Teenagers don't need a "reason." I'm just glad they're doing it.

This is what happens when you close their skate parks and chase them out of the malls

What the hell? The last thing I expected to read in this story about is how Orcas briefly wore dead salmon on their head until it went out of style. Another victim of wokeness.

Any clue about what derogatory names the various groups call each other? Is it fashionable for an Orca teen to leave the pod and take a gap season?

I think yachts should drop orca toys.

I will not yet rush to get rid of my "Orca 2024: Fuck Them Yachts!" T-shirt. Orca-teens, I have faith in you. Continue the vendetta.
