Yeah right. Next you'll be telling me that squid can fly.
Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

This is an excellent meta joke on your username, and for anyone curious, here’s the link to a wikipedia page on flying (more like gliding) squids https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_flying_squid
Japanese flying squid don't glide.
But neon flying squid do.
Oh wow fascinating read, thanks!
They did use to wear salmon as a hat. Orcas are built different.
It was only a short fashion trend. Like Vote for Pedro shirts or women using a bandana as a top.
A Møøse once bit my sister ... No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".
Fortunately, an Orca rescued her by eating the Møøse!
You saw that comic too, huh?
Yeah - Amazing. I was thinking - "no way... I have to check this out." Yep. It appears to be not only plausible but a that happens with some frequency.
That's why I keep far from those waters.
Username checks out
It's pretty much the only animal that is a predator for moose. Even bears don't fuck with them.
How the hell do they even hold the gun to hunt!?!
Fine dining and all that 👌
What about the moose knuckle?
Holy shit! I don't even know what an Orca is, but I do know they must be badass if they're out there killing and eating moose! Do you have ANY idea how deadly a moose is, if it decides you need to die???
Yeah. Orcas have to be insanely big and strong....
You don't know what an orca is?
Also known as "killer whale". (Which is a mistranslation actually, originally name being closer to "whale killer", as orcas hunt and kill other whales, even adult blue ones.)
