With the current state of the world it is likely their parting words would be "So long, you assholes killed off the fish"

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wouldn't that be "So long and thanks for all the fish"?

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Originally they were thanking the humans for feeding them all the fish. Now they would be telling us off for killing off all the good fish.

Dolphins are federal agents, confirmed.

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 11 points 1 year ago

Yea... hey wait a minute!

(you weren't supposed to let on that we know - abort, abort!)

"Turn's out dolphins are racist as fuck!"

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I am gonna take a wild guess (wo reading the original article), is this one of them studies where they throw a neural net at dolphins and see if it sticks.

[–] thebardingreen@lemmy.starlightkel.xyz 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's satire, it's been around since at least 2017.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

darn it, I really hoped someone would think that they can understand dolphins with neural networks. I should tone down my expectations.

That one episode of SpongeBob was right al along

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

They are particularly angry at someone named "May."

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I wonder if they see us some sort of deformed octopus or squid, like our arms/legs just look like tentacles to them?

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know this is disinformation, i'm going to upvote it anyway.

[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

Meh, I stopped upvoting things because I liked them and started upvoting things I wanted other people to see. That's how the algorithms work anyway

#NotAllDolphins

[–] athos77@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, so I found the original article for this screenshot, and it's by Dash MacIntyre, a satirist who self-publishes on Medium.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People thought this was real?

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

I didn't think it was real but if it was I wouldn't've been surprised. Does that count?
