Either rude or weird. Depends on how you mean it 😄

Sockeye Salmon. The real question we should be asking though is why it is spelled with an “L.” Image
aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
why is knife spelt with a k?
why is hour spelt with an h?
Why is wednesday pronounced wendsday?
Just is. Michael McIntyre did a good bit about this.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
all of these is because modern english went to shit and we should all go back to middle english and actually pronounce those letters. All the other germanic languages pronounce those letters, why must english be all weird and special?

I still need to process that it is supposed to be pronounced “samon” according this other meme.
merc@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
More “samun”, (/ˈsæmən/) because the last syllable turns into a “schwa”, the default unemphasized vowel sound in English.
xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Any English vowel can be a schwa if you’re brave enough
slowmorella@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
is the term called a “schwa” or does the vowel literaly turn into “schwa”? I can not tell if your’re serious.

Been pronouncing the L up to now?
Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 months ago
I have pronounced the L in salmon since the episode of King of the Hill where Octavio starts hanging out with Hank all the time.
“Salmon, Hank! They out salmon in the fish tacos!”

Fun (not fun) fact: farmed salmon meat is gray, so they put coloring agents in their feed to turn it into the color we expect it to be.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
many places do similar things to regular beef, special atmosphere in the packaging and injecting the meat with stuff that makes it redder and/or keeps the colour for longer.
Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Or could it be that the place and time when salmon are easily seen by people is spawning season and at least some of the species turn a bright “salmon pink/red” colour at that time? They are dying then as well, but naturally, so it is still and end of life colour for them.

Why does it say “Source: US government”? 😂

I think it’s cool that fish and butterflies have scales
flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Wow, that just blew my mind.
I guess there’s reptiles, too
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Because that’s the color you turn before you mate
BakerBagel@midwest.social 2 months ago
Still involves the fish dying
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Don’t have to tell him that part, nor the agonizing journey along the way, just sell the silver lining. If you can make it a subscription that he can easily get out of.
RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 2 months ago
Yeah but fucking so hard you die is something to be proud of.

Just in the circle of life mate(sinister snicker)
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Duh? Otherwise the Salmon would already know why.
