For anyone who’s not seen this gem yet
Sweaty
🥵
Like as in perspiration?
That is what sweaty means, yes.
What, never heard of hot couture?
goddammitsomuch
They are in a never ending bathtub tho.
OOTL, who is this person?
Sabrina Carpenter
Some singer. Someone in the audience was cheering for her. But it was a cheer she was not familiar with because it is not originally from western culture. Some are saying her response was culturally insensitive. Seems like kind of a big nothing burger, but I guess it’s a big deal for some people.
So you know the entire story but are just tooo cooool to know her name. Are hipsters coming back?
some people have a harder time remembering names than remembering a simple event
Look! It’s me.
Oof. Is that you or why are you offended on her behalf?
What was her response?
Edit: and what was the cheer?
It was a north african wedding cheer the crowd member decided to do during a quiet part of Sabrina’s set. She mistook it for yodeling and said she didn’t like it.
After looking it up, assuming it’s a zaghrouta, I can understand that being a bit jarring during a quiet part of a set. It’s not exactly subtle and could easily sound like someone is mocking you in western context.
Ah thanks for the goss🙂
Southern Residents (puget sound orcas) are the toothless moron hillbillies of the Orca community. They starve in a weird little place that is FULL of food that they are too stupid and backwards to eat.
You say this like it’s a bad thing…
Given that they are facing extinction because they are starving to death while surrounded by food? They haven’t had a surviving calf in a decade because they are malnourished. Yeah, it is.
The Salmon hats are probably them expressing displeasure and mourning in their starvation since it is the same behavior that they use when they express mourning for a dead calf:
That is the shittiest possible interpretation of the situation.
People act like animals can just magically decide to eat new things. It doesn’t work like that. It’s the same as that stupid koala meme where people whinge about them not eating things put down in their territory.
That’s not how it works, at all. Animals, humans included, have instincts that drive them with it comes to what is and isn’t food. And even humans can turn down things that are technically edible while starving, because they don’t know it’s edible, and we do have the ability to reason out ways to safely try unfamiliar things.
Except that we are talking a group of animals within a species.
Other, genetically identical, Orcas literally swim into the same habitat as Southern Residents and eat all the other shit in puget sound while the resident orcas sit there and starve in the same environment.
Which is completely irrelevant to that group because the process by which an animal recognizes that is and isn’t “food” is partially location dependent. If you took one of them out of their territory at birth, raised them in a different one, they’d learn different food spectrum.
They almost exclusively eat salmon. Humans have destroyed salmon populations. They share their territory with other natural prey like seals. They kill seals for fun. They can’t figure out that seals are edible.
But I’m guessing that’s not the main reason their population is declining
Pacific Northwest orca are among the most contaminated marine mammals in the world, due to the high levels of toxic anthropogenic chemicals that accumulate in their tissues.[115] Implicated in the decline of the southern resident orca population, these widespread contaminants pose a large problem for conservation efforts. While many chemicals can be found in the tissues of orca, the most common are the insecticide DDT, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).[116] Each of these have detrimental physiological effects on orca,[117] and can be found in such high concentrations in dead individuals that those individuals must be disposed of in hazardous waste sites.[118]
Correlative evidence shows orca may be vulnerable to effects of PCBs on many levels. Research has identified PCBs as being linked to restricting development of the reproductive system in orcas and dolphins.[119] High contamination levels leads to low pregnancy rates and high mortality in dolphins. Further effects include endocrine and immune system disruption, both systems being critical to mammalian health and survival.[117] A study examining 35 Northwest orcas found key genetic alterations that caused changes to normal physiological functions.[120] These genetic level interferences, combined with the varied effects of PCBs at other physiological levels, suggest these contaminants may be partially responsible for declines in orca populations.
Right, which is why they are backwards hillbillies.
Shit, did I step into a troll?
If so, you got me good lol
You obviously don’t understand fashion
