Retro fashion.
Maybe they’re wearing them ironically.
Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
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.

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…

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

I’m assuming it’s just on the surface then? Seems like it would fall off if they went under water.

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.

That reminds me… Did they stop tagging boats on the Atlantic North?

For now
MisterFrog@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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), …

Finally, some good news
nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
It is terribly disappointing that there are articles about this that have either no photos of salmon hats, or they are clearly photoshopped.
If you actually want to see a orca donning a salmon hat…
And another has one though.

Sometimes it’s ok to just have some curious/silly news without it being used as an opportunity to remind people how terrible they are…

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.

I read “Orcas” as “Oscar” for a second was very surprised as to what gad happened to the academy awards

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