Posts must be:

He tried and failed.
If he had successfully body slammed a killer whale and the whale returned the favor, would he have succeeded or failed?
He would have succeeded; and that point would probably be reiterated a few times at his funeral.
Man, think about the views tho. Everyone would want to watch that. So many new subscribers!
If they SMASHED that Subscribe button then that's all that really matters.
He would have been yeeted into the stratosphere
The man yells “I touched it” to the other people on the boat and then asks “Did you get that?” in an apparent reference to whether his encounter with the orca was successfully filmed. He then tries to touch the animal again. Other people aboard the vessel can be heard laughing and cheering in the background.
Fuck it, fine them too.
Eh, they might've been cheering for the orca.
My sources have it that one guy in the back was just cheering for the cheering.
Historians of the future will remark that we lived in a time when "many humans were so stupid they forgot wild animals can kill them easily".
That is the funniest possible picture that could have accompanied that headline. It’s like he’s a fucking aquatic creature himself 🤣
That's not too fair. Poor guy. Someone has to fight back. Are we sure it wasn't self-defense? Maybe they were trying to sink his yacht?
Incredibly idiotic. Wow.
"Stop fucking with the orcas! They already be attacking ships at random, you're just gonna piss 'em off even more!"
According to a video I watched yesterday, it’s not random, it’s because they’re bored teenagers
Hilariously I left this post then scrolled down just a few posts and found this. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/05/24/killer-whales-attacking-sinking-boats-are-bored-scientists-say/73558157007/
Probably same for the orcas
That's just what they're telling people so that we don't find out that the orcas are accelerationists to class war. They see what's really going on.
I first read it as "Man is fine after trying to 'body slam' killer whale" expecting a meh orca encounter.
"body slam"
Guy like barely grazes it.
Keyword being "trying"
Could have made Darwin proud that day. Alas, a slap on the wrist in the form of a $600 fine and they live to harass another whale in the future.
Really should have gotten some time in a cell to reflect on his stupidity
