Under the first headline it shows that the sailors were using online platforms to share this tip. This reminds me of those viral messages of recharging your batteries in the microwave.

You’d think they’d just use Spotify then instead of hunting music boats

Yeah when I think about how to calm wild animals down, blasting metal is my go-to.

FFS.

Cats are just a whole other being of existence. My cat fell asleep next to the wooden cabinet that I’m hammering down at full force, but got scared shitless and zooming to hide when I dropped a spoon.

Cats aren’t normal animals.

Because of, or in spite of the music?

Have they considered befriending the whales, or at least bribing them?

Killer Whales and humans have a long history of friendship and cooperative hunting. The orcas would lead people to large balleen whales, and the humans would spear them, taking most of the meat, but leaving the lips and tongue as payment to the Orcas.

This was before we turned their habitat into a toxic sludge superfreeway and exterminated their food supply.

Was thinking something similar. What if the whales just don’t like the sailors’ taste in heavy metal? Have we tried passing the aux to the whales? This could be a valuable learning experience.
