Orcas eat great white sharks. They hunt seals, dolphins, and baby whales. They have never killed a single human in the open ocean. Not once, in all of recorded history.
An orca's brain weighs up to 15 pounds. Yours weighs about 3. They have roughly double the brain cells we do in the regions that handle complex thought. A neuroscientist at Emory named Lori Marino put an orca brain in an MRI and found these animals can tell different species apart underwater. They do it by sending out clicks that bounce off everything around them and come back as a kind of 3D sound map (this is called echolocation). From 500 feet away, an orca knows you're a human and not a seal. It skips you on purpose.
The answer is culture. Orcas around the world are divided into at least 10 separate populations, each with its own food rules, its own language, and its own way of hunting. All of it learned from their mothers. One population eats only fish. Another eats only marine mammals like seals and sea lions. These two populations can live in the exact same water and never swap a single meal. A baby orca learns what food is from its mother, and that list stays the same for life.
In the Pacific Northwest, one population called the Southern Residents eats almost nothing but Chinook salmon. Scientists have documented them killing harbor porpoises 78 times over six decades, carrying the dead porpoises in their mouths, and never once eating them. Even when the group was starving. A 2023 study in Marine Mammal Science looked at all 78 cases and concluded it was play. These orcas would rather go hungry than eat something their culture says isn't food.
Researchers studying whale behavior in 2001 found that orca cultural traditions "appear to have no parallel outside humans." Each family group has its own dialect, its own version of the language. Calves spend about two years just learning how to make all the sounds their family uses. Mothers will slow down a hunt on purpose so their young can watch.
In 2005, a 12-year-old kid was swimming in Helm Bay, Alaska when an orca came at him full speed. At the very last second, the orca seemed to realize it was charging a human. It bent its entire body in half and turned back to open water. In captivity, it goes differently. SeaWorld's Tilikum killed three people during his life in a concrete tank. Research from 2016, published in the journal Animals, traced it to psychological collapse from being locked away from the family bonds orcas need to stay stable.
I think calling this a "mystery" undersells the science. Orcas decide what to eat based on culture, not instinct. No orca mother has ever taught her calf to hunt humans, so no orca hunts humans. Only about 75 of those salmon-eating Southern Residents are still alive. Their pregnancy failure rate is 69% because we've destroyed their salmon runs. They won't break their food culture to survive. Whether we care enough to protect theirs is the part that actually matters.
Demi Allah IYA.
Aku dan istri dari kecil gapunya mobil.
Sampai nikah punya anak 1 juga masih belum punya.
Setelah anak umur 1.5 tahun baru di mampukan sama Gusti Allah. Alhamdulillah.
Dulu PP 26km pagi sore istri hamil naiknya honda spacy 2009 😭 sekarang lcgc badak.
Tidak habis pikir. Petunjuk teknis terbaru menunjukkan YAYASAN pengelola MBG dapat insentif 6 JUTA PER HARI selama 313 hari, libur pun masih dapat. Insentif itu tanpa kena pajak.
6 juta x 313 hari=1,87 miliar per SPPG
Bayangin POLRI kelola 1.179 SPPG PER HARI DAPAT INSENTIF Rp 7,07 M dan 1 tahun jadi Rp 2,21 Triliun.
Itu pun belum yayasan lain di bawah TNI.
Udahlah bubar aja negara ini.
Dijelaskan bahwa insentif ini bukan berdasarkan output based (berlaku 2025) yaitu jumlah porsi yang diberikan, tapi malahan availability based yaitu asal sudah ada dapur meski belum beroperasi. Jelas-jelas enak donk yang penyaluran porsinya sedikit bahkan belum kerja sudah dapat 6 JUTA PER HARI. Cukup duduk manis dukung rejim.
Memang MBG INI DIBIKIN BUAT MENGGERERUK DUIT NEGARA.
Kepada elite mereka royal dan disebutkan sebagai insentif, sementara bantuan ke rakyat disebut subsidi dan dianggap beban.
Israel defended its recognition of Somaliland in historical context; Saying it's part of a defense against genocide he said the people suffered decades ago.
Jonathan Miller, Israel's deputy ambassador to the UN Security Council:
"Entire cities were destroyed. Civilians were deliberately targeted. These crimes are now widely recognized as a genocide………….Israel's then acting permanent representative, Yohanan Bein, submitted this letter to this very Council warning of grave human rights violations in Somalia…………….That history provides essential context for the discussion surrounding Israel's recognition of Somaliland today."
To which Abukar Dahir Osman, Somalia's ambassador, asked for the floor to directly respond to his Israeli counterpart and said this:
"If we want to talk about genocide, it's Israel that's committed this to our own own eyes every day. He represents a government that killed more than 70,000 people. Civilians, including children, women, elderly, doctors and other health workers and patients in hospitals. Destroying infrastructures, deliberately starving people of Gaza. And to come before us, this esteemed Council, and accuse Somali of committing genocide is just ridiculous and unbelievable."
When the perpetrator is Muslim, the crime is immediately framed as a civilizational issue. Religion is dragged in, and millions are made to carry the guilt of one individual.
But when the perpetrator is not Muslim, the crime is usually reduced to an “isolated case,” quietly buried, or completely detached from the offender’s ideological or religious background.
Victims are victims.
Yet sympathy is not equal,
outrage is selective,
and justice in public discourse is far from blind.
This selective silence serves neither truth nor victims.
It protects no innocent person.
Instead, it reinforces a distorted narrative:
that evil is condemned only when it comes from certain people,
and excused or ignored when it comes from others.
Calling for justice does not mean defending anyone.
It means demanding one standard for all:
whoever commits a crime is held accountable,
whoever harms is judged
without exceptions and without moral hypocrisy.
Justice that is divided is not justice at all.
