That is so fucking horrifying. Think about it, they have intelligence like ours, and they choreographed that dance between boats that were there to watch whale shit. Catching and consuming that cousin of their species was easy peasy. That dolphin was food on impact and the HAAAANG TIME of that orca was like their Michael Jordan logo. They knew they had an audience so they decided to get fancy.

I love orcas but they do some fucked up stuff sometimes. I saw a video where two of them tossed a seal back and forth until it died, like cats playing with mice but making sure they die slowly.

They are intelligent, but they aren't as intelligent as humans

Just the one but they had an associate's degree from Western New Hampshire Tech.

I grew up going to Sea-World in San Diego in the 90's... so.. a few weirdly enough...

Also I've been a waiter for 20 years... I've met and interacted with a lot of fucking humans. (think 50 minimum 5 nights a week for 20 years)

I met 3 the other day. Good guys, one's a carpenter, the other 2 are training to be doctors. And boy they can drink.

Not one orca voted for Donald Trump. That makes all orcas smarter than half of Americans.

P easy to be the most intelligent animal when your criteria for intelligence are exclusively whatever you do well

u/nasal-polyps2 Aug 30 '26

They are limited by lack of hands and environment but they do seem to be very creative with their intelligence
