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

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

    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.

      I’m only just now realising fads/trends seem to be way less strong these days.

      Like, there’s a 00’s vibe, sort of, 10’s vibe??? Maybe?

      But nowhere near as strong as practically every decade before that.

      Perhaps it’s just there’s way more variety to bandwagon now that every niche is connected around the globe.

      My random thoughts for your reading.

        Internet culture has very strong trends. MLG era, deepfried pictures, amongus era, whatever people on tiktok are watching (brainrot), …

          When I say strong, I mean that a trend is it dominates and defines as decade. All those things you mentioned are trends that you associate with different times, but there are far fewer things you can dress up as and people will think: ohhhh are you “from the 2000s”.

          They exist, just I’d argue it’s not as strong as the 90s

            If you have something that slightly resembles an amongus astronaut as your pfp people will think: ohhh are you “from the early 2020s”

            You can’t dress up as it though when those trends happen over the internet.

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

    Many men have been decorating their necks with colorful ropes for many decades, especially on official and celebratory occasions, there is also no logical scientific explanation.
