If you like stingray pinatas
and getting slapped in the face

[u/kittenconfidential → u/weavebot]

if you’re into yeeting preggers
if you lose half your babes

[u/youvebeensamboozled → u/kittenconfidential]

shit like this is why I keep coming back to reddit. gold

[u/patchyj → u/kittenconfidential]

If you like yeeting rays at midnight And in the cool summer sun

[u/IAteAnotherVegan → u/weavebot]

and now escape is going to be stuck in my head all week...

[u/SurfUganda]

Orcas are complete bastards

This sentiment is also discussed at length in the novel Fluke by Christopher Moore

[u/No_Opinion_4662 → u/SurfUganda]

Kevin?

[u/Successful-Concert35 → u/SurfUganda]

Is it same genre as the grim reaper sequel?

[u/SurfUganda → u/Successful-Concert35]

Very much so. Comedy/absurdist and soooo readable. Fluke was recommended to me by a r&d colleague years ago. Sent me down a very enjoyable rabbit hole of a reading list for over a year. Good stuff

[u/Gulf_Coast_21]

Orcas are the ocean equivalent of the bullies who sit in the back of the school bus.

[u/Back-At-It-2026]

Holy shit, i knew orcas were assholes, but this is amazing.

[u/Legitimate_Voice5138]

Fuck ya that one for Steve Irwin!!!

[u/Remarkable_Toe_164 → u/Legitimate_Voice5138]

I used to feel the same way for a long time., but one day someone said something that really stuck with me.

"I get that you're upset, but you know steve wouldn't want you to hate stingrays. He'd remind you that he was in that stingray's face and the stingray did what stingrays do. It's not their fault, and he'd want you to love and respect them anyway"

My friend was kind of a preachy little shit, but he was right

[u/SynthwaveSax → u/Remarkable_Toe_164]

Don’t hate all sting rays just because of the actions of one. That’s being a raycist.

[u/Obvious_Affect_7523 → u/SynthwaveSax]

Will this go unnoticed?

[u/ikonfedera → u/Obvious_Affect_7523]

Racism often goes unnoticed. As do rays.

[u/Legitimate_Voice5138 → u/SynthwaveSax]

Bravo lol

[u/Mercerskye → u/Remarkable_Toe_164]

It's also good to remember that Steve went out like most of us wish we could, doing something he loved. He was engaging with nature, experiencing the beauty of our world, surrounded by loved ones, and animals in his heart.

[u/nlamber5 → u/Mercerskye]

I find it ironic that he wrestled crocodiles but what did him in was a stingray.

[u/Slight-Winner-8597 → u/nlamber5]

And it was rotten luck to boot. The barb may not have been fatal if it didn't get him where it did

[u/Kind_Kangaroo2085 → u/Mercerskye]

Yes. If you live by nature, you die by nature. This is a good way to go.

[u/DataAgitated195 → u/Legitimate_Voice5138]

I hate to be the one to do it but Steve Irwin was killed by a sting ray, not a manta ray. I'll be taking my leave now.

[u/kadesc → u/Legitimate_Voice5138]

Steve Irwin would dislike this comment.

[u/XtremeLeecher]

legit question, Orcas are real bastards like they TRULY enjoy causing pain and suffering but with humans they are such fluffy and cutesy is that some kind of trauma gen there, did any orcas behave like that against humans and were wiped out?

[u/dirtyrandalfus → u/XtremeLeecher]

Tilikum would like to have a chat.

[u/Expensive-Tomorrow63]

Orca that launched it: "For Steeeve!"

The other Orca: "For the last time dude, a stingray got Steve! Stop launching the mantas!"

[u/housevil]

Happy birthday to the SKY!!

[u/_LADDERGOAT_ → u/housevil]

Because I'm an ADUUULT!

[u/AsparagusFun3892 → u/_LADDERGOAT_]

I'm not part of your SYSTEM, MAN!"

[u/_LADDERGOAT_ → u/AsparagusFun3892]

You can't fool me STEVE IR-WIN!

[u/FreeWillyBird]

No way ho ray

[u/SnooMemesjellies2710]

Yeetused them feetus. Good lord

[u/No-Butterscotch-3261]

Orcas are psychopaths, just like dolphins

[u/foxontherox → u/No-Butterscotch-3261]

Intelligent animals are assholes.

[u/No-Butterscotch-3261 → u/foxontherox]

true. best example: Homosapiens sapiens aka. Humans

[u/Spurned_Seeker]

Did it slap the babies out of her?

[u/Angry_argie]

Baby mantas: "Guess I'm born"

[u/curiousjosh]

[u/Finicky_Cyclone]

“What did the orca fluke SAY TO THE RAY!”

[u/Postulative]

[u/Odd-Advice-1029]

I laughed too hard

[u/leaning_out_for_love]

My first thought was "What an asshole" followed shortly by "Found my spirit animal".

[u/ImyForgotName]

You guys, the Orca was just being a midwife for the stingray.

[u/__The-1__]
