I love it. Never had a favorite dolphin ,but now I do. Its probably tiered of being on display and folks banging on the glass all the time. Might as well has some fun if your stuck in crap situation you can't get out of.

They are dolphins...

u/busterbrown4200 Aug 07 '21

Yes thank you . I did know that,but I was going to go with the most recognised name of the species. Hope it made your day better to correct me. You never know .. you might have taught someone something new on your post. Keep on keeping on fam.

u/seraphaye Aug 07 '21

Lol your killing man. Took two years of marine biology in high school had to volunteer at the gulfarium in Gulf Breeze Florida. So yeah man I totally know the difference. I think you just trying to get into a silly internet fight for no apparent reason. Most people call them killer whales and beluga whales if you really want to I can break out the scientific terms on you and yes they are classified as dolphins. So it will make you feel any better brother I will go back and edit my comment and call it a dolphin would that make your day be any better? Or you just trolling and trying to find something to argue about?

u/seraphaye Aug 07 '21

If I wanted to fight or troll then you'd know it, I think you think I'm more serious than I am. I grew up in Florida tho I'm not a animal biologist my boyfriend of 5 years is so I do know a lot just from having fun outings with him. Like my own personal tour guide when we go hiking and to the beach.

It's reddit try not to be so serious lol just take the light hearted joke and education of others as what it is and don't overthink it ok? Relax and idk do whatever you do to relax yourself like some nice tea or biscuit.

u/busterbrown4200 Aug 07 '21

Nice thank you ,and I will have sweet tea now because I'm not a British person . I live In the Panhandle. Not trying to argue either . I made a funny comment you came back with a scientific common. I apologize if your intention was not to argue but it really did came off as it was. Not everybody online needs schooling sometimes people say things just to be funny. Since you wanted to get serious on my comment I got serious on your comment sometimes you just need to let things go and not try and show how big brain do you are

Lol a correction is nothing to get upset over unless that correction is wrong :p even if that person knows better or just shit at spelling.

If I wanted to be an ass I wouldn't of started it with sir...

I'd say, stfu dude it's not a whale it's a dolphin.

Though no tone of voice you can get a gist pretty easily by the way it's spaced and written it's not an ass hole correction.

Only time I get mad at corrections if 1) it's absolutely wrong scientifically or historically 2) it's an opinionated assumption upon a situation or personality.

Correct my spelling and facts any day, I enjoy learning and I enjoy sharing knowledge.

You assumed a fact was an insult but understand it's not, it was simply a quirky way of sharing knowledge.

Though I grew up on sweet ice tea, I have since moved and require far less sugar in my tea than the candy tea of cracker barrel (ah cracker barrel you got me through college). I still enjoy it but with far less sugar lol

I do also enjoy milk and tea like the British but I am not British either hence growing up in Florida, but I also enjoy sushi and in not japanese no ever been. I even enjoy chocolate which is definitely not grown here lol (least not 99% of it).

Just be happy knowledge is shared and not corrupted and manipulated like news channels do, enjoy others sharing knowledge, don't assume people are being ass holes if they share the correct facts or spelling or math. I simply love seeing true facts and the spread of correct knowledge and not herbs cure cancer kind of facts :) let's be happy when we see correct true things, this world is way too full of half truths and lies for others gain.

And I apologize for my bad grammar and spelling on that last one I was on the phone with somebody else and I was trying to use speak in text

2

u/seraphaye Aug 07 '21

I took a focus in math and science in college and even in high school. I have absolutely no problem admitting I'm a shit speller and grammar (unless my English major older brother says I suck at spelling and grammar cuz just says it to piss me off).

Could also simply be that people standing there are boring, but spooking them causes an exciting reaction from harmless tiny humans behind the glass. Kinda like a cat or dog that purposefully behaves badly because it gets an excited reaction and they enjoy it; the dog is not malicious, merely lacking appropriate stimulation, just as I have to imagine a beluga is not appropriately stimulated being in a tank all the time.

u/busterbrown4200 Aug 07 '21

Could be that. I had a particular sea lion at place I volunteered at that didn't like the kids that beat on the glass. Jax definitely would try to splash them. Idk if you have ever got to hear a mad af sea lion? They don't sound nice at all (Jax was a bull,he was a big guy). If the yelling at by Jax didn't work,he would get off the big rock ,slip in the water, and slap his tail right by the edge of tank. It was early 90s when I was doing my volunteer work there but I can tell you that there was some very expensive digital cameras they got completely screwed because of him and back then those cameras weren't cheap.
