Ferreal, though. They already rank among crows & wolves (as far as we can tell, ahem), and if their world is rapidly turning into acid, I can only imagine what they must assume that our, much smaller home biome must be doing...

Now, if they knew that it was us behind it all?! ๐Ÿฅฒ It'd likely be a much different story โ€” and I wouldn't blame them a bit. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Hey, waitaminute... If the oligarchs are building bigger and more numerous yachts while the landmasses crisp to fund their puny, plastic existences... Can we use LLMs to share that info with these seawolves? (How do you even say "luigi" in orca?)

Yacht evokes images of sail ships but those billionaire yachts are more like ferries. I don't think the orcas can take them out (unless you supply the c4).

NGL, if orcas can deploy c4, I feel it'd only be neighborly to figure out how to supply it.

I mean, sheeyit. We gotta step it up as a fuckin' species if they're out there, more than capable of planting high-tech explosive devices invented by self-important monkey-cousins who generally can't even swim. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜ถ

fun fact, the US military maintains and employs many aquatic non human mammalians.

So, you're saying there's a foundation to work from already. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค“
