[@Wren6858]

Fun fact! The ocean “hugs” the coasts of continents in a way that mirrors surface tension. This is because there is more mass in continents, meaning stronger gravity compared to the ocean floor, meaning the water is slightly more attracted to it. Its nothing on the scale of how deep the oceans are, but if you could lay out the world flat between the UK and the USA, the middle of the ocean between them would be 20-30 feet lower than the ocean on the coasts.

Why don’t we just farm raise whales instead of cows

[@pufferz6788]

Whales have an incredibly slow reproductive cycle, they also require large amounts of food we cannot provide. Most whales also need to migrate and to have a large territory. Farming whales would be unethical to the whales and not profitable to humans. Hope that answers your question.

[@sudoornator3000]

@Kai Li swimming pools

[@pufferz6788]

cetaceans depending on species travel up to 100 miles a day. Whales like humpback whales migrate thousands of miles per year. We have seen the effects of captivity on dolphins like orcas, it's hard to imagine keeping adult whales alive in captivity.

[@pufferz6788]

@Kai Li Whales are incredibly smart and social animals, while keeping them in captivity is a financial nightmare, the real problem would be the ethics. They experience the same amount of emotions as humans or even more. Orcas in captivity have shown signs of depression and have done self harm.

[@pufferz6788]

So it would have significant ethical and legal issues, not to mention a significant backlash from the public

[@lolfunacount]
