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 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months 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 9 months ago

Yea... hey wait a minute!

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

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago

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

That one episode of SpongeBob was right al along

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 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago

They are particularly angry at someone named "May."

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months 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 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 2 points 9 months 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 1 points 9 months 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 9 months ago (1 children)

People thought this was real?

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee -1 points 9 months ago

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