Blasting underwater tunes to try and keep killer whales away is a bad idea for multiple reasons, a researcher says.
I’m glad orcas have finally had enough of our shit.
I’m firmly Team Orca.
+1
I am wholly and unironically on the orcas’ side here.
They target small sailing boats that do no harm.
It’s like attacking children because their parents are bad.
That’ll learn em
I’m just worried that people will start shooting them. Otherwise I agree.
Orcas mourn, that would be downright fucking insane. Elephants mourn and will literally track you for months to trample your ass for killing one of them.
Theories are that this is how it started.
Richard Harris could tell us what a bad idea shooting one turned out to be. Apparently not enough people have seen Orca, because that shit was scary.
2nd amendment rights for orcas. Strap some 50cal machine guns, waterproofed, to their heads Dr Evil style.
I’m not one to actively encourage increases in military spending but if it’s to outfit the orcas, I’m all for it
They should be safe. Richard Harris has been dead for a while.
I’m more worried orcas will start shooting us.
I couldn’t blame any ocean dwelling creature that took justice into their own hands (or fins) at this point.
The orcas thought the humans wanted to start a mosh pit.
They were just head banging.
Probably should have used new-country.
boat not designed to moshpit with whales…
We need to design one, moshing with orcas sounds metal as fuck
Who can Metallica sue for this?
In retrospect, they may not have appreciated the thematics of Blood and Thunder.
Gojira would have been a much better option…
NOW I CAN SEE THE WHAAAAAALES
LOOMING OUT OF THE DARK
Whale noises intesify
I knew exactly what I was getting into here and you didn’t disappoint. Damn I miss their show.
If you haven’t seen it, “If The Emperor had a Text to Speech” very much reminded me of the irreverent tone of Metalopalypse
Making the Orcas feel like Doom guy when the music kicks in will surely stop them.

Headbanging music backfires on sail powered mosh pit.
Film at 11.
PS: … keep the whales at bay? I sea what you did, marine biopunologist.
You mean like Bay Area trash metal? Metallica, Slayer, Death Angel?
As well as a bay being a body of water where whales can be.
Of course not, do they not play Doom? It makes orcas 100% more metal.
This could make a great Metalocalypse episode.
Are there any videos of this happening? Any videos at all?
Mandatory Orca Mosh Pit is my new punk band name
Is one of reasons that orcas love to mosh?
There’s whole lot of genres of music to shuffle through before we may find the genre that drives away orcas. Maybe there’s no genre of music that drives away orcas. You know how people say of ethnic groups they don’t belong to that y’all look alike to us? Maybe all human music sounds alike to orcas.
We should try polka. Nobody wants to listen to polka.
You’d be surprised at some of the sleeper hits. It’s inherent in all genres that one composition will just blow your mind.
…or maybe I just like polka and avoid the weird looks by only having one song on the ipod. Maybe.
or ska
Dubstep might do it.
Let’s try EDM. Two sounds pulsating and occasionally woman’s voice saying “orca” will bore anyone to death.
