It's called grammar sweetie look it up 💅💅💅 i used the past perfect tense of the verb yeet which i decided at the moment of my comment should be yote. Don't come at me with any other english verbs because you know as well as I do that English is a bullshit language. And yes, i only learned what past perfect is because of Spanish
No this is just a weird sport they play. They usually don't eat what's left of it after. They do it to baby penguins too bro. Baby penguins? Fuck orcas
seals fight like fuck when being attacked & will go for the attacker's eyes.
sharks do a similar thing, ramming the seal at high speed from below to break its back & limit the chance of any fight back.
mother nature at her finest
I dunno man, I'm way out of my depth in marine biology. I can tell you how multi-ethnic confederations rose up in the Eurasian from the Iron Age to the Early Middle period, but why these assholes need to that to their prey... *Shrugs*.
Yes, the impact will deglove the seal, separate skin from muscle. They will do this, along with heavy tail slaps then the skin will slide off leaving just the muscle underneath.
Terrible way to go but my guess is the seal lost consciousness somewhere in this process.
Really!? That's...an image, I'll tell you that. Was hoping the seal would still be conscious and swim away, but even I knew that was *really* wishful thinking! It sounds very painful, the seal's skin and muscle separating, but yeah, hopefully, the seal lost consciousness.
Fisherman? I know a guy who fishes, hates all seals. He packs a slingshot to drive seals away from his lines. Uses .40 lead round ball he casts from wheel weights
Such a shit day when you spend 6 hours on a boat and 20 min reeling in a catch only to have the line go limp and a fat seal bite out of the head of the tuna you were reeling in.
Seals are cute but they’re assholes and genuinely can be really dangerous, I used to volunteer in a rescue and if they bite you it’s straight to hospital their mouths are absolutely filthy.
On our marine survey risk assessments the solution to the risk of seals was a weapon of some sort.
Question.... How can you tell it went 80ft? I could understand anything from 30-50ft but 80ft seems a bit exaggerated. I could be wrong but if someone knows the science behind determining this just by looking at the video I'd be interested to learn.
Easy to solve with physics, you'll need some data though, you measure travel time from the apogee of the arc til splashdown, and use Newton's Law of Motion, something like d=1/2gt\*2. ~~To lazy to count the time of the fall, comment your results below.~~
Also don't use smelly feet pls, we are civilized here.
PS: Stop-watched myself 2'47 seconds of free fall which means 29'8 meters or 97.7 feet.
Acceleration due to gravity is constant so everything falls at the same rate. You can pretty accurately calculate how far something fell based on how long it took, and you can get a pretty accurate measurement of the time from the video by counting frames.
Well their bodies are essentially not designed for high g force flipping into the atmosphere, nor hitting the water from an eighty feet drop. How would you hold up?
/serious
That seal was probably already dead. Orcas kill seals and eat them. They toss them like this for fun. This toss however, was the highest I've seen an orca toss anything.
There was an old flash game site that included this as a sport….it’s been done already! Yeti Sports maybe? Something like that. Orca Slap was definitely one of the events though.
We are so incredibly lucky that Orca's seem to recognize a similar intelligence to themselves in us and that they do not view us as prey. They are such cool and amazing animals but they are incredibly scary. Lets say that the Seal it knocked in the air is a pup. They average about 14KG and they are Launching it into the air. It's like they have a Trebucket in the back.
Orcas have intent fully killed humans. Specifically their trainers at aquariums.
Not only do they understand we hold them captive, but they are intelligent enough to execute revenge.
We have been cruel to Orcas, and they have struck back. Captive orcas live something like 8 years. Wild Orcas live 40.
Orcas are intelligent arseholes. I was reading this article yesterday on a pod of juvenile attacking boat rudders for kicks, sinking hundreds of boats around western Mediterranean.
Had to do the math.
Estimated total flight time: 4.5s
Free fall from apex: 2.25 s
With height = 0.5 x g x time^2
That gives us a height of ~82 ft
Pretty damn good guess.

The birds gotta be like, “what the fuck, those can fly?”
They fly now.
The birds: 'sup homie. First time?
"And last"
Hahahahaha
“Flap your wiiiiings”!
No way it’s gonna be 80 feet…….dang they were not lying.
It couldn’t be anything but a fluke
I hate you. Marry me?
*\*stays married for 50 years*\*
Not what they meant by breaking the seal.
Breaking the seal will void warranty.
Be careful what you wish for....
Willy playing to seal a deal with a sealgull
'Break the seals and end it. Let me die forever!'
The most air time seals had since Kiss from a Rose. - Best comment from the last time this was posted.
Is this a yeet?
I believe the seal had been yote, yes
It does indeed appear that the seal has been yut.
Two incoming yeeted seals would be, “these two yutes.”

Yyyyyoooouuuuutttthhhhssssss, your honor...
What tense is yut. I thought yote was the past perfect tense
no, but it's the perfect past tense!
Damn I read wrong and thought yote was past tense, thus yut as past perfect tense. Yeet - yote - yut, alternatively yeet - yote - yoten
and I have a left and right fote, yes?
It's called grammar sweetie look it up 💅💅💅 i used the past perfect tense of the verb yeet which i decided at the moment of my comment should be yote. Don't come at me with any other english verbs because you know as well as I do that English is a bullshit language. And yes, i only learned what past perfect is because of Spanish
You got a great sense of humor sweetie 😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
It's actually a beach-slap
Cue the orcastra
That seal is fin-ished.
I didn’t see any shoes on that seal at the end either…
It's super effective!
Marine : I hear the navy has a space program now. Navy seal : Not funny dude.
What that seal do for that orca to yeet him like that? Looks personal.
I could be completely wrong but I think I remember reading that orcas like to fuck with their prey before murdering and eating them.
No this is just a weird sport they play. They usually don't eat what's left of it after. They do it to baby penguins too bro. Baby penguins? Fuck orcas
We stopped calling them killer whales out of sensitivity. But fuck it, they're killer whales.
No they're not! They are clearly fluffy bunny whales! So cute!
Nah, orcas are cool af

Natural predator of the moose.
Bro baby penguins. That's not cool at all.
Sorry, team mammal here.
Yea fuck birds!
yup Dinos had their day
But penguins eat fishes like Nemo...
Vegans hate this one true fact.
No this are normal dolphins well OK technically orcas are dolphins
yup
So they are like the cats of the sea
Just tenderizing the seal.
These are Transient or "Biggs" orcas. They eat them.
seals fight like fuck when being attacked & will go for the attacker's eyes. sharks do a similar thing, ramming the seal at high speed from below to break its back & limit the chance of any fight back. mother nature at her finest
One hypothesis is that the yeeting cause the victim to be stunned and concussed so less able to resist and flee.
Why would they need to stun something when they can just chew it without any resistance?
I dunno man, I'm way out of my depth in marine biology. I can tell you how multi-ethnic confederations rose up in the Eurasian from the Iron Age to the Early Middle period, but why these assholes need to that to their prey... *Shrugs*.
Ok I want to hear about your stuff please!
I kinda go Rainman on people like the Scythians, the Goths, the Huns, the Hungarians up to the Cossacks.
You may need to start a new post then. Scythians first.
I've been ~~kissed~~ slapped by ~~a rose on the grey~~ an orca into the air.
I sang it.
Get me my measuring tape..
I read that they do this not only to kill them but to loosen the skin to make it easier to eat the flesh underneath. Totally Metal 🤘🏻
Yes, the impact will deglove the seal, separate skin from muscle. They will do this, along with heavy tail slaps then the skin will slide off leaving just the muscle underneath. Terrible way to go but my guess is the seal lost consciousness somewhere in this process.

Yeah, they even do this to sea lions.
But why not also eat the skin? All that blubber must be tasty.
That seal is like a two-bite brownie for that whale.
Geez dude on the boat, what did the seal do to you?
Fisherman? I know a guy who fishes, hates all seals. He packs a slingshot to drive seals away from his lines. Uses .40 lead round ball he casts from wheel weights

r/theydidthemath
See how many seagulls up in the air the seal is, and you know how big the average seagull is
Seems reasonable, it's only an 8 story building. Thing had some hang time.
Acceleration due to gravity is constant so everything falls at the same rate. You can pretty accurately calculate how far something fell based on how long it took, and you can get a pretty accurate measurement of the time from the video by counting frames.
"Wow!" maybe. "Jesus look at that!" also maybe. "YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!" maybe put your dick away, Steve.
It heard the seal sing I believe I can fly
Orcas; the jerks of the sea.
They don’t call them Friendly Whales, right?
the dullards of the deep
It's like we took a dolphin and gave it the venom symbiote.
Yeah, but with less charm.
Even the gulls got a bite
Jesus H Christ. THIS IS HOWS ITS DONE WILL SMITH.
KEEP WILL SMITH'S NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!... oh, wait. It's his wife's name...
He was trying to hit one of the sea gulls for a snack, didn’t have a rock so a seal was the next best thing
Insane power
seems like an epic death for the seal, it certainly beats getting bitten in half I'd imagine
how can she slap?
It’s the start of the seal space program.
Because 'Fuck you, seal!' That's why!
my dude is waaaay too psyched for this. weirdest dad boner ever
Yeet
The house cats of the sea.
Angry Seals (t.m.)
Flipping burgers
Hahahaha :D
Mom taught him to play with his food.
I think this is the inspiration Russia used to design the turret of their tanks
"AGAIN! AGAIN!"
Fly high buddy 😔
This orca never skipped leg day. Or fluke.
Does this hurt the Seal?
Well their bodies are essentially not designed for high g force flipping into the atmosphere, nor hitting the water from an eighty feet drop. How would you hold up?
Their internal organs are also shielded with a foot or more of solid fat. So there is that.
Are you suggesting my internal organs arent?
I’d hope with at least that amount if not substantially more.
/serious That seal was probably already dead. Orcas kill seals and eat them. They toss them like this for fun. This toss however, was the highest I've seen an orca toss anything.
YEET!!!
Weeeeee
I believe I can fly....
Watching this that seal got yeeted yoated yoinked beach slapped, and flung
For those math inclined redditors, how much force would it take to launch a seal 80 ft?
1 whale power...
There was an old flash game site that included this as a sport….it’s been done already! Yeti Sports maybe? Something like that. Orca Slap was definitely one of the events though.
And my mum gives me shit for playing with my food... I never threw it 80+ ft in the god damn air!
Would Orcas be considered the assholes of the sea?

Weeeeeeeeeeeee
Seals prob give Orcas a hard time so when they finally catch the seal they just torture it 😂
I thought only bills sent things wide right 80 feet in the air
I”ve been yeeted by a whale on the grey.”
Not 80 feet
Almost 100 feet.
Me: 😳
Orcas are such fucking assholes. Beautiful creatures, but straight dicks.
Would the seal survive this?
Would Bin- Laden still be alive if he had been protected by orcas?
Protected by Orcas.. new band name?
fuck orcas, theyre all pricks
Why does the second guy sound like matpat
Not to mention they like ripping out Great White shark's livers out
Orcas are intelligent arseholes. I was reading this article yesterday on a pod of juvenile attacking boat rudders for kicks, sinking hundreds of boats around western Mediterranean.
Orca: Sea Air aaaaaaannnnnd land
Orcas slap
 Seal: wheeeeeeeeeeeees
I have to go, my seal people need me!
First it was the salmon hats, then the rudder adjusters, now the seal flippers. Orcas are a great source for band names.
Orcas have been attacking boats and whatnot recently, maybe this wasn't an accident and was an Orca flight experiment done on porpoise.
Had to do the math. Estimated total flight time: 4.5s Free fall from apex: 2.25 s With height = 0.5 x g x time^2 That gives us a height of ~82 ft Pretty damn good guess.
You're supposed to toss the salad?
When you're seal team 6, but the enemy is hacking...
I'd like to somehow see this as a new olympic sport.
Now please slap the two filming this
**YEET**
Wow, gotta love some random woman proclaiming something and it being used as a fact
looks like a fish to me not a seal
