I wish there was a t shirt of a hammerhead shark wearing Hammer pants!

Does anyone else think hammerhead sharks have been… maybe a little too quiet?
homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You see nothing!
And . . . ignore those . . underwater hammering noises
Schmuppes@lemmy.today 10 months ago
They drastically reduced their PR budget in the 90’s and 00’s and it shows.

What about the hammerhead shark guys who looked like bebop and rocksteady?
Am I imagining them?

Street sharks?

Both the Street Sharks and the Biker Mice from Mars feel pretty imaginary.

I remember seeing the ad for those on TV and wanting them so bad. After much pleading, my folks relented and got me one. The same day, my parents’ minivan got stolen with my street shark in it while parked in a movie theater. I was heartbroken, never got to play with it.

No. It was a thing. No clue on names, tho.

“They called him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning…” But Hammerhead is a baddie and sharks aren’t supposed to be baddies any more. Sharks are friends, not threats. So Hammerhead slipped quietly into the distance to await his time of glory, when one day he will return to rule the Ocean with an iron
fisthead.Incidentally, dolphins have had a troubled role-reversal in the fashion of popular opinion too. They were friends! Companions! Even amusements for a while, before everyone agreed they should be free. Now they are wanton rapists and bullies. Shed a tear for the poor, maligned dolphin, carrying the disgrace of his ill-behaved friends and relations. All Dolphins Are Not Bad.
One day the Bottlenose and the Hammerhead will return as friends, splendorous and loved. But will they find the World worthy of their love? Or will they leave, with a parting farewell, and a thanks for all the fish.

Fuck’uh you whale and fuck’uh you dolphin!
Egg_Egg@lemm.ee 10 months ago
If you’ve said “Fuck you whale”, you don’t need to say “fuck you dolphin” as all dolphins are whales anyway. It would be like saying “Fuck you, Great apes (Hominidae) and fuck you human”

Don’t you blaspheme in here! Hammerheads are right in there at the top!!
Mako #1, obvs. But that’s cool.
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Imagine thinking great white isn’t #1, smh
chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The only thing Great Whites have going for them is their flavor in Shark Bites gummies. Basking Shark is obv the best.
homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Oh please. More like Not-so-great White amirite?! Ha haaa!
Nah, just joshin’. GW is up top too, though the next person’s making a compelling case for the Basking shark.

I watched the OG Jurassic Park the other weekend, and realized I haven’t thought about a triceratops in probably a decade at least.

milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Seriously?
You think way too little about dinosaurs.
captain_oni@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
Well, triceratops has the advantage of being one of the most popular dinosaurs.
The unlucky one for me is the Parasaurolophus ( that crested “duck-billed” dinosaur). It was always one of my favorites as a kid, and I had to search for its name tonight.

Just here to remind you of the dwarf lantern shark and its happy to see you face.

That cartoon was on TV when I was VERY young, I always wanted to watch it, but I was never allowed to have the TV to myself so I was always overruled by my golden-child brothers and sisters
Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 10 months ago
same with the Iditarod. As a kid, I was led to believe this was the biggest sporting event on Earth besides the Olympics. Now nobody even talks about it D:
AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Eh, I saw some talk about it the first couple of times Quince Mountain was competing.
SoloboiNanook@hexbear.net 10 months ago
I was at the beach in Florida in August and some dude caught a baby one while fishing off the beach lol. Kinda upset he held it out for so long bragging but they did toss it back
SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
Hammerheads were the coolest shark in the shawl
DandomRude@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Once in a while you just need to…stop…hammer time!
malamignasanmig@group.lt 10 months ago
Ah they meant ranking. I thought they were going to say something about the hammerheads looking like that because they hit the ground face first.
EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
hammer heads have more of those electrical sensory organs than any other sharks. They’re awesome! Great-white-sharks are for basic bitches.

No love for the goblin shark? They’re even weirder looking than the hammerhead!
Bytemeister@lemmy.world 10 months ago
They only look weird in post mortem photos because their jaw is stuck forward. Most of the time the swim around looking like any other shark.
smeg@feddit.uk 10 months ago
Still a bit goofy, but good point

Nurse sharks are friendly? The things I remember about them from my childhood book on sharks are: they sleep in big piles on the ocean floor, their eggs are like weird sacks, and they latch on after biting and will not let go
ephemeral_gibbon@aussie.zone 10 months ago
They’re little sea puppies that are perfectly happy to cruise around while you swim with them. At least that’s the grey nurse sharks we get in aus
MrShankles@reddthat.com 10 months ago
They’re normally docile, unless you get caught up in them while they’re feeding

Oceanic white tips? 10ft long roided out aquatic honeybadger that can smell your fear from 40 miles away…and it has nothing better to do today.
