Hello computer!
How quaint.
Not surprising when you’ve got stories like this …
The 2025 krill season in Antarctica has ended with a record-breaking haul: 518,000 tonnes of krill pulled from the Southern Ocean. That’s over ONE BILLION POUNDS of sea life, removed in a single season.

WTF
We are so screwed
Keep an eye out for a giant space cylinder my friends.
We are the extinction event
“Well if the whales don’t like that the water’s killing them and their food supply, maybe they shouldn’t have devolved their legs!”
…That’s probably assuming way too much about the average climate denier’s scientific knowledge or just overall general intelligence, isn’t it?
They did. Then they decided to go back to the water.Devolved. Gotcha.
I dont think whales ever had legs. the lungs were a neofunctionalization of digestive tissue like swim bladders
Whales and other cetaceans evolved from land mammals.
While this does seem very important, this headline is pretty terrible. A 40% reduction over a decade is not “suddenly going silent”.
A decade is a really short time in animal scale. They sing for hundreds of millions of years, but half stop in a decade?
It is considering how long whales have been around and singing
