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
Once in a while you just need to…stop…hammer time!
“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!
Fun fact: 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”
But you can say it if you want, it’s just superfluous, but many of life’s pleasures are.
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:
Eh, I saw some talk about it the first couple of times Quince Mountain was competing.
Why is nobody talking about the most magnificent of them all: the whale shark?!
They drastically reduced their PR budget in the 90’s and 00’s and it shows.
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.
hammer heads have more of those electrical sensory organs than any other sharks. They’re awesome! Great-white-sharks are for basic bitches.

I’m on the blinded by copepods, 500 year old, Greenland Shark Team.
I watched the OG Jurassic Park the other weekend, and realized I haven’t thought about a triceratops in probably a decade at least.

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.
Seriously?
You think way too little about dinosaurs.
Don’t you blaspheme in here! Hammerheads are right in there at the top!!
Mako #1, obvs. But that’s cool.
Imagine thinking great white isn’t #1, smh
The only thing Great Whites have going for them is their flavor in Shark Bites gummies. Basking Shark is obv the best.
Imagine, in the year of our lord 2024, not recognizing the noble whale shark as the peak of sharkitude.
Whale sharks are the peak of fishitude, my friend

Agreed.
Whale sharks are great, but hear me out… Zebra Sharks.
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.
What about the hammerhead shark guys who looked like bebop and rocksteady?
Am I imagining them?
Street sharks?
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.
It’s never too late!
Hope one day you find one somewhere and get it as a small treat for child-you.
That sucks!
The toys were a wierd texture like rubberized plastic. The sharks skin and face was flexible but the lower half of the figure was normal plastic.
Both the Street Sharks and the Biker Mice from Mars feel pretty imaginary.
No love for the goblin shark? They’re even weirder looking than the hammerhead!
They only look weird in post mortem photos because their jaw is stuck forward. Most of the time they swim around looking like any other shark.
Still a bit goofy, but good point
Nexus 5 represent!
I loved that phone so much.
Street sharks about due for a resurgence
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
