You have prompted a great idea. We should make a dual documentary that intersects at the final scene. Documentary 1 follows the stingrays. Documentary 2 follows the whales. The ending scene of each documentary is the exact same.

A documentary following a food chain. Each time something gets eaten the narrator is just “well, i guess this is a _____ documentary now.” And resumes as if it were always about the current animal.

This is basically what David Attenburough does

Side note: I still have to skip past the walrus part of Planet Earth. I will ugly cry for an hour or more, and it will ruin my day. I’ve handled a lot of traumatic situations with stoic resolve, but for whatever reason, I cannot compartmentalize the walrus tragedy.

I need to watch Planet Earth again, thanks for reminding me.

Turns out I was referring to “Our Planet.” We have “Planet Earth,” “Blue Planet,” and “Our Planet” playing so frequently that I get them confused. Do not watch the walrus scene. Nobody needs to see that to know that we have to do a better job of environmental stewardship.

Cool, I was wondering why I couldn’t remember a traumatic walrus scene 😂 I’ll skip Our Planet, and if Blue is the one that goes deep in our oceans that’s on the watchlist too

Don’t skip it! It’s great! Just don’t watch the walruses.

Yeah, I’ll leave an “F” for respect here, too.

I love it. Where do we start at the bottom of the food chain, bacteria?

I feel this so much in the film Happy Feet. Seals are cute. But in Happy Feet, they’re beady-eyed bloodthirsty monsters.

In any penguin media. Horrifying monsters

You should look up walruses and penguins.

Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world on 17 Apr 21:53 collapse

Why?

Landless2029@lemmy.world on 17 Apr 22:25 collapse

They also have a violent relationship… Not for the faint of heart.

I thought walruses were arctic and penguins antarctic. I wasn’t able to get much with a search engine. Would you mind sharing a link?

Landless2029@lemmy.world on 17 Apr 22:39 collapse

I was wrong. It was seals still.

And there’s this gem if you hate seals now.

Okay, yeah. That tracks. I once saw a video in which an orca tortured a sea lion and then launched it 80ft into the air just for fun. Members of Delphinidae are usually absolute dicks.

Edit: Found the video. Don’t watch it, though.

I watch documentary where fat man eat cow. But never see documentary where cow eat fat man.

My Octopus Teacher fucked me up. If you’ve seen it you know what I mean

tetris11@feddit.uk on 17 Apr 21:54 collapse

That scene where he eats the live octopus whilst castrating himself? Yeah, plus the way he kept hitting on the students and then when he gaslit that parent into taking the fall for all those murders. Messed up show. I know exactly what you mean

How can this be prevented? It’s not good for politics.

Stingrays killed the crocodile hunter. I’ll watch them get eaten all day
