 Killer whales are dolphins. 

Who the fuck named them that?  I don’t understand.

 Apparently some pods are learning how to capsize yachts in order to eat the rich. 

Sign our petition to give killer whales a more accurate name: based dolphins

 Do you think we can train them to fetch all those hardware wallets lost in boating accidents?

 AFAIK orcas and dolphins get (military) training for attacking enemies. It goes that far that they will attach bombs to some of the dolphin and let it get to the desired object.

 I’d rather they attach the bomb to some dumb military person than an animal.
