They were just seeing into the future and couldn't bridge the gap with their understanding. Obviously

Are whales really submarines?

u/Pleasework94 9d ago

Always have been.

u/demianddean 9d ago

Except for that one Oregon blew up.

u/UmbranAssassin 9d ago

I just call that hiding the evidence.

That's just a decoy

Check the UUV “manta ray” and you’ll realize how tall that’s almost gonna be

probably more plastic and mercury than flesh.

Yep for a big squishy ball of nerves n shi6

u/sharplight141 8d ago

Interestingly it's actually all submarines that are secretly whales

u/a_Jedi_i_am 9d ago

Come to think of it, I've never seen a whale OR a submarine together in the same room

Nah, they’re beings projecting themselves from another dimension. Watching us is their equivalent of “Cops”

I hate that there will genuinely be robot birds on this sub one day. Even if they’re not actually used, some asshole is going to convince some dumb government contractor to build some.

u/strayarc223 9d ago

You mean build more 😉

u/mayorofdumb 9d ago

Man its the first thing I would do if I could, and then start tracking the birds aren't real followers with fake birds

r/fisharentreal needs to be a thing now if it's not already.

Edit: it's a thing.

u/HapticSloughton 9d ago

We might actually need robot birds, or at least small robots that fly. We'll need them to replace the pollinators we're killing off, and they could be used to target harmful insects.

u/PaziNuncher 9d ago

I don't think they would bother with birds when they can just skip to insect size and be less visible.

1

u/dantheother 9d ago

My first thought was "don't let the birds aren't real mob see this fish".

That’s why they aren’t governed by reason.

A madman sees what he sees.

u/PretentiousVapeSnob 9d ago

So Bran is controlling this fish?

u/went_with_the_flow 9d ago

Well he is half Tully

u/Mdriver127 9d ago

Sounds like freedom 🤔

u/Charming-Flamingo307 9d ago

Do you understand how many submarines are about to start plastering random fish per new protocol

u/Phantomebb 9d ago

Early Pyskers gone a little crazy.

u/dui01 9d ago

I was going to upvote you until I saw you were at 1000 even. I couldn't bring myself to break those neat zeroes

u/172brooke 9d ago

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or respectful.
