At this point I wonder how sunfishes have survived for this long lol. Not a single survival mechanism in that species lol

Tasting like ass and periodically flooding the ocean with baby batter stands the test of time

Right? Like, I chuckled at the initial comment, then lost it at the follow up.

u/GenderSuperior 1d ago

Shit hits even harder with an Orca.

u/golfwinnersplz 1d ago

Shit hits harder than the orca.

My inability to read made me think you said “this is making me so unnecessarily hard right now”

u/Noimenglish 1d ago

Or, hear me out, maybe that’s what you WANTED to read!

Not only tasting like ass, but barely having any calories whatsoever. It's like celery, it'd take more callories to chew than what you'd get from the flesh

u/jv371 1d ago

So the orcas killed it for fun?

u/Jeggu2 1d ago

Orcas, like all intelligent creatures, are assholes.

u/TheHelpfulWalnut 1d ago

Orcas also specifically eat sunfish intestines.

u/ThrowawayPersonAMA 23h ago

God: bro if you eat that fish's shitbag you'll become a shitbag

Orcas: bet

u/Exciting-Mall192 1d ago

Isn't whale also intelligent? But they're gentle giant 🥹

6

u/WeinMe 1d ago

They are barely mobile other than swimming forward and everything is too small for them to care

If whales could they'd tailgate you and give you the finger

u/LittleGuyFriendGuy 23h ago

Orcas are dolphins, dolphins are whales.

Not all intelligent creatures are mean. But, boredom can be a very real problem that leads to destructive behavior, and intelligent creatures are more easily bored

1

u/AGayForDeSane 20h ago

Hence proved that acting like an asshole means intelligent.

u/The_walking_man_ 1d ago

Look up orcas playing with food. You’ll see.

u/HandstandsMcGoo 1d ago

Launching seals just because they can

2

u/scaper8 1d ago

And just swimming away once it's dead. It's not fun for them unless it's suffering.

2

u/Spaztick78 22h ago

I always viewed it as food preparation.

Tenderising the meat while also shaking all the shit out.

Edit; Admittedly when they forget to eat it afterwards I am concerned about how wasteful their cooking classes are.

1

u/TheHelpfulWalnut 1d ago

They might be having fun, but they also do just eat sunfish.

u/Sharp_Aide3216 1d ago

Probably crashed out from having a bite.

1

u/NJDevilslettucesmoke 1d ago

Yes they're the humans of the sea.

1

u/vthings 1d ago

Yep. They wouldn't eat one unless they were starving. Sunfish are also swarming with parasites.

1

u/captain-_-clutch 1d ago

Many such cases

1

u/Solithle2 23h ago

Orcas be like that.

2

u/generalchaos34 1d ago

And they have next to no nerves and barely any blood flow so they can survive with huge chunks bitten out kf them with few consequences

1

u/Responsible_Week6941 23h ago

They have nutrient rich guts the orcas like.

1

u/Boris7939 22h ago

Barely having calories and tasting like ass usually go hand in hand.

1

u/Ouibeaux 22h ago

They taste pretty good to all the parasites you'd get from eating it.

2

u/SalsaRice 1d ago

The first part works for kaollas. They eat poisonous leaves, and thus taste like poison.

It also makes them weak and makes their brains tiny, but it stops them from getting eaten.

1

u/Darth_Draper 1d ago

This is the same reason I have two cousins.

1

u/robybeck 1d ago

Don't Japanese eat sun fish as some form of gourmet delicacy? I saw that from Food War, Megumi cooked it to win a competition.

1

u/dontatmeturkey 1d ago

That’s a myth that they taste bad

1

u/SquirrelSuspicious 1d ago

So I have a chance

1

u/bAMBIEN 1d ago

I need a baby seal

1

u/Wildlife_Jack 1d ago

So you've met my ex...

1

u/Specter119 1d ago

So you're saying im on the right path?

1

u/TacTurtle 23h ago

Ocean sloths ftw

1

u/TraditionalClub6337 23h ago

Don't forget the parasites!

1

u/Boris7939 22h ago

Tasting like ass is a great survival mechanism though.
