I have never seen a whale in the flesh, and I'm not really that impressed with them. I mean, I know they are gentle giants nd Jonah was inside one so maybe they are holy etc.
I'm still here to say if they all die, I don't think they will impact me much. I'd rather kill the rats. Some of them are getting SUPER immune o poisons. Get used to having rats around.
IDK if this is as surprising as the story thinks. TEENS LIKE THINGS ONLY ADULTS CAN HAVE (except the tide thing not sure what that was about maybe "TEENS ARE ALSO ATTRACTED TO DANGER.")
In any case, I am starting to think my emails/letters and phone calls are just going to contain those two phrases, over and over.
Also, it's like wack a mole. Something "adult" gets removed from the teen so it tries another "adult" thing.
I hated that dumb game in the arcade but it's even worse in real life.

Good thing it wasn't whack a whale I guess. Or baby fur seals. That one would have certainly raised a few eyebrows. But now I'm completely off topic, again. I blame that on the Guinness I'm drinking tonite.
I never saw a whale, either, but I really suspect that anything at the top of that particular food chain is a lot less important than something at the bottom, like plankton.
Plankton is very important to the whale.
Plankton lives matter..

Could you elaborate? I know what each word means but I don't know what they mean in conjunction with each other.
Um, I could, but... it's kind of, well...
Let's just say there was a shipwreck on top of a mountain, and... oh, boy.
There were two "Plankton Farming Pimps" stranded. I took them in. They told me all about their seafaring adventures in search of Plankton. They also destroyed my house.
Said they were abducted by aliens, hence the shipwreck on top of Haystack Mountain.
They taught me their ways. I briefly searched for the plankton by their sides.
One day, they disappeared. And so did my enthusiasm for Plankton Farming.
...hope that clears it up, although my guess is it just made it more bewildering (as it probably should).
I think reading one more post by Anna and you will have this whole stream of consciousness thing down cold.

Well I live to oblige.
Did you know there are many humans who spend more on their pets than their kids? I mean to be fair even with pet insurance like, things get expensive. One time we were quoted 3.5 K for rattlesnake antivenin for the kid's dog and like, they were so INTENSE about the possible side effects I actually asked them if we needed to PUT HER DOWN because there was NO WAY we could pay that (they/we did not even KNOW if it was within the window of efficacy.) Then they were all like, "On NO we would NEVER put a dog down for this most of the time, bigger dogs are FINE,."
I was like, "You are a bunch of crooks." My husband begged them for a treatment plan we could afford and it was IV fluids and Tramadol.. We saved the tramadol for like the next two times she got bit because we found out she was an Australian cattle dog and like, they are particularly immune to the venin of snakes.
We told the vets she was. She could have probably been sent home on pain killers. But did the vets say that? Nope, they did not. SOME pet owners pay out of pocket for CHEMOTHERAPY.
I would never do that, and it would be more because I feel that doing that to an ANIMAL who has no clue like, what is happening, why they are feeling etc... Sorry, that's not for me. I would put said animal down in a heartbeat. To be fair, I also believe in physician assisted suicide.
Of course, my son's dog, who was particularly SUCCEPTIBLE to snake bites got bit and I was thrilled she was living with HIM because she was seriously gonna die and my mom wound up getting 3 antivenin shots and it was like 7 K. She did it because she "Could not allow herself to let that particular dog die." She's kind of like my son's companion support animal. If I had the dough I would have done the exact same thing.
However, pet smart, the toys, the beds, the dentasticks the etc,. It's a bit, IDK , OTT? Do our pets really need THAT much? The diamond sparkled booties I saw on a dog on like Mt Lemon and the owner bought them JUST for that trip and she as all leashed up and docile and probably on Valium like the owner and I looked at my kid and my dog, rolling in the snow, the dog without ANY protection and thought, "People are insane."
So like, I bet we could aid the whales, if people just spent OH HALF as much on their pets and donated the rest to the ocean.. In general. I'm just... saying.
Also if we can save the ocean (yeah good luck but really) surely we can save vaping.
Hope this helped. LOL.

Whales in fact all cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises) are one of the most advanced and amazing creatures on the planet. Their ability to use sound to sense the world around them by echolocation is pretty much a super power. Dolphins can actually use this ability to see inside other animals like an ultrasound scan.
When you talk about gentle giants you are probably influenced by the Blue whale. 100 feet in length and weighing 190 tons they are the largest animal known to have ever existed on the planet, including the dinosaurs. A Blue whales heart is so large that a small child would be able to crawl around inside it. They move slowly firstly because of their breath taking size, and also because they hunt some of the smallest creatures in the sea, Krill.
My personal favorite, the Sperm whale. At 60 feet long and weighing 80 tons they are the largest of the toothed whales and the largest toothed predator on the planet. The sperm whale brain is the largest known of any modern or extinct animal, weighing on average about 7.8 kilograms (17 lb), more than five times heavier than a human's. Sperm whale vocalizations are as loud as 230 decibels. Bear in mind that 130 decibels is what you would experience in close proximity to artillery fire and the human pain threshold. It has been theorized that they can use blasts of this sound to stun their prey.
They dive down a mile and a half into the ocean, a depth where pressures exceed 1.5 tons per square inch. Here they hunt amongst other things giant squid, the most scary and truly alien creature I can imagine in the bitterly cold pitch black Stygian depths.
What truly epic battles they must be.
I read an article once that a Blue whale can 'see' for up to 1700 miles with echolocation. I've also read about dolphins used to assist in treating people with neurological type disorders.
I love whales (and other sea mammals)
Plankton... sure love them too but now every time I see or hear that word I will forever be stuck with the "alien shipwreck" story memory. I'll try to block it out with good memories of Star Trek IV.

That definitely is one of the few Star Trek movies that I liked and enjoyed. Aside from some of the funny remarks and statements made by (mostly) Spock, I ROTFL'ed at the Scotty/computer scene when he tried talking to the mouse and was confused with the keyboard.
googled it, it's a non alco cocktail for kids, don't blame ur mom for what happened next, cmon

Well just to get under the gender neutral groups skin; a server told me a long time ago when I said I wanted a Shirley Temple (my dad was into martinis but I wasn't, yet..) that those were for little girls and Roy Rogers' were for little boys..
Geez, I was trying to get this thread back on topic
Plankton Martinis for everyone.....
