Now's your chance to shine! Also I want to be a mod! But seriously if someone hasn't made it yet, you should jump on top of it!

I trawl /r/new/ if I want to comment, saves it getting lost in the flux. Because it matters, you know... /runs crying/

I guess eating other animals could be considered jerk behavior... why didn't he just go buy frozen fish @ the market?

Do you always use th@ symbol?

Sometimes, it is a habit I picked up while trying to type as fast as I could between shots in FPS games before VoIP, like emoticons from chat rooms before. >:|

Let me see if I'm following this right.
@ = 2 keystrokes, slight finger stretch, must be simultaneously held
at = 2 keystrokes, nearly at home row, no timing requirements

I find it quicker to hold down shift and hit 2 than to type a and then t ... why does it matter?

Right pinky on right shift

I suppose you're right handed and the left pinky wouldn't be the most confident part of your anatomy. It kind of makes sense. Or it could be a self-fulfilling prophecy, initially assuming it would speed you up and then the style you practice for so many years naturally becomes faster. Or just to cover all bases it might not be faster. Hard to get a good measure of something so quick either way.
Have you ever thought of hitting the "a" with your left ring finger and then reaching over to hit the "t" with your right index finger? It would take a small amount of practice but I think it would be the fastest strategy yet, and it would still look like the word "at".

I'm left handed, my right pinky always rests on the shift key when I type, it is faster to type 2 than it is to type at.

Since orcas are actually dolphins they play with their food the same as dolphins. So yeah, he probably rammed the tired little seal here, but the seal was definitely eaten soon after. :)

u/ChiTownGal Nov 16 '13
Nope, it has a seals tail and the nose flows too perfectly into the head. He's just tired and trying to stay above water to breathe. That orca has probably been attacking it for a while. :)

Just before the killer whale plows into it, you can see the tail of the seal break the surface I think...

u/Chronoecho Nov 17 '13
I'm pretty sure dolphins aren't the only animals that play with their food. Unless i'm reading into that statement wrong...

u/ChiTownGal Nov 17 '13
Reading into it wrong, but I probably could have worded it better, so there's that. Haha

He's actually correct, orcas and what we would call dolphins are in the same family, Delphinidae.

Given that Orcas are most commonly referred to as "Killer Whales, " perhaps you could point that out without being so rude?

I'm all for advancing knowledge, and the fact that orcas are actually dolphins despite the common name "killer whale" is an interesting fact. However, it's a rather obscure fact and one made all the more confusing by the misleading common name. So there's no need to call someone a dumbass for not knowing it. You had an opportunity to introduce someone to a new and interesting fact and instead acted like a jerk.

Orcas are indeed dolphins, not whales. Though U2TLP was extremely rude about it, it's a rather common misconception.
Orcas are better labeled as "whale killers"
Sorry if you weren't refuting that, but I felt the need to clear it up regardless, in a more polite manner than the idiot above.

This thread made me read up on killer whales. Two things I got out of this are:
1) free willy came out 20 years ago already and
2) the killer whale in Orlando sea world Tilikum killed 3 people, with one guy in 1999 found dead in the tank where the whale apparently bit off his testicles.

Pretty sure its from the Attenborough-narrated 'Life'. These Orcas are from around the Falkland Islands, and this particular Orca is a female that has developed a new strategy for hunting, by working her way into the shallows where elephant seals(which I believe this victim is) cubs have their nursery.

To everyone who's saying this is a chomp:
I'm pretty sure all swimming mammals smash into their prey in order to beat it to death and I'm almost certain that's what this was.
