Won't someone think of the yachters.

I'll just remind that not every yacht costs millions, there are those that cost less than a 2016 Harley Davidson. Don't know what kind of yacht was sunk this time, but I guess it wasn't a big one

Also, orcas are pissed off because of fishermen, plus fishermen now play loud music to ~~piss them even more~~ ward them off. I'm totally on the orcas side, but would prefer if those loud fisherboats were damaged instead

Yeah, they are damaging mostly sailboats, not those millionaire party yachts you imagine. Boats from families and people who just want to sail and chill on the ocean, literally the least environmental damaging boats there are.
- Oh won't someone think of the family that's not billionaire rich just millionaire rich.
Yea it’s pretty dumb how many people assume that, when all the videos I’ve seen are of typical-sized sailboats with fiberglass hulls. If people stopped to think for a second, they’d realize it’d be a lot harder to sink steel-hulled large luxury motor yachts / super yachts like billionaires & mega millionaires have
- Which should have us scared for the next generation of weapons the orcas develop to handle the megayachts
I just stumbled upon the article, and apparently it was this one. From a quick glance at the listing, I'd say this particular one is a ~$400k-$700k boat.

EDIT: I was wrong, it's more like $200k-$300k
- Thanks, that's more expensive than I thought :)
  
  People who were on the yacht at the time may have gotten it for around €3300, as it was available to rent
  
  Edit: lol, I've linked the same article you mentioned, because I didn't check the other link
If I ever find myself turned into an orca and someone's sailing close to me blasting off loud music, they're getting wet.
I had no idea about the yacht price. Do you have an example listing? Because if it's something as small and as cheap as you say then I have a hard time classifying a little boat with a motor as a yacht.

Wikipedia indicates that while not a standard definition, a yacht is generally classified as me having an overnight sleeping cabin and is at least 10 meters/33 feet long. I can't imagine something like that being as cheap as you describe, even if it's not a multi million dollar vessel.
- Going from this random 2016 Harley for ~$18k, there are a lot of good boats that are cheaper and would qualify as a yacht per your definition (sleeping cabin, 33+ feet)
  
  This one for 9k, altough listing says it needs repairs
  
  This one for 500$ more might be a better option
  
  This one even has air conditioning but needs to finish some repairs (materials provided)
  
  Of course, Craigslist has some options. This one is slightly more expensive than the Harley but it looks in very good condition with a lot of recent upgrades.
  
  Overall, there are ~3 price ranges for used sailboats: Under $10k, you'll have small-ish boats (under 27 ft) in pretty good condition or medium-ish boats (25-35 ft) that need a little work. Around $50k you'll get older (1980's), medium-large boats (35-45ft) in good condition, or smaller ones in very good condition. And at $100k-$200k you'll get much newer medium-large boats (2005+).
  
  For reference, my first sailboat cost me $2k.
- I can’t imagine something like that being as cheap as you describe, even if it’s not a multi million dollar vessel.
  
  To add to some of the excellent answers: There is a whole category of folks who do van life, but it's sailboat life. They live on the boat full time and go extremely low-budget -- few of them are wealthy at all. People get hung up on "yacht" and all the baggage that word brings. Many purchased a boat in lieu of a van or a house. So even if you spent $100k it's a cheaper life than on land in most cases.
  
  Examples of low budget sailors you can check out:
  
  Sam Holmes - I don't know what he paid for his current boat but he's super frugal. I'd be shocked if he paid more than $15k and it was probably a LOT less, knowing him. While back in the US he was sailing a boat (Bayfield 29) he got for free.
  
  Sailing Uma - While this couple are now doing much better financially (thanks to their Youtube content) they originally paid $3k for their boat, put as I recall about another $3-5k into it and have been sailing ever since, including across the Atlantic and up to Svalbard, Norway, Iceland, etc.
  
  Wind Hippie Sailing - Holly, who is pretty damned poor, sails a Grinde 27 which was a real fixer upper when she bought it. Not sure of the price but probably under $20k.
  
  There are of course a ton of sailers out there who are not visible. I know of a couple of people who got their boat for free and have sailed at least from the US West coast to Hawaii or around the Carribean living on practically nothing.
- To add to the excellent answer by @[email protected], sailboats don't require a motor, you may as well maneuver tight spots with a paddle and use sails on (relatively) open water
Find me a yacht that costs less than a Harley... I'll wait

Is anyone else bothered by the addition of the word "just", which throws off the whole rhythm and doesn't need to be there in any way?

It works if you pronounce the last word as three syllables. I don't know if that's the correct way to pronounce it, but it is the American way to pronounce it.
- "I'm a bitch"
  
  3 syllables
  
  "I'm an orca"
  
  4 syllables
  
  "Sinking yachts"
  
  3 syllables
  
  "Off Majorca"
  
  4 syllables
  
  Adding "Just" makes it 5, which is too many for the pattern
- Naw, the line should only be 4 syllables. "I'm a mother" is the og.

Made me giggle at work. Quality.

Orcas have been such bros to humanity (no wild orcas have ever been recorded intentionally attacking humans) that if they're hitting boats I'm starting with the assumption that it's the humans fucking up. There's a lot more history of humans being cruel/stupid to wildlife than there is of orcas doing the same to us.

Orcas have rarely injured and in one case killed their trainers when held captive, but that's essentially them fighting being held hostage. “No one is sure what causes the animals to react in this way, but boredom, frustration and ill health, both physical and mental, have all been implicated,” says Rob. “These incidents have resulted in serious injuries to trainers and, in one case at least, proved to be fatal.”

Fun fact: orcas are not whales. The name "killer whale" is a reversal of their previous name, "whale killers". They're just mean dolphins.

They normally aren't mean. Orcas used to hunt whales with us. We would give them all the stuff we didn't want, and they'd herd whale pods to the ships.
- They're mean to seals.
- I really meant badass, but they can definitely be mean. All intelligent animals have a mean side.
Dolphins are mean dolphins.
Dolphins are whales source
I've never seen a convincing source for this factoid. As best I can tell, "killer whale" was never "whale killer" in recorded written text.
- "Orcas were given the name ‘killer whale’ by ancient sailors’ observations of groups of orcas hunting and preying on larger whale species. They called orcas ballena asesina, or ‘killer whale.’ Their Latin name, Orcinus orca, also reflects this observation of orcas feeding on large whales. Orcinus translates to ‘of the kingdom of the dead,’ and orca refers to a kind of whale."

  So seems like this etymology makes more sense.
*Orcas are nice dolphins

I’m a goddess, I’m a queen

My teeth are not baleen

I'm with the orcas.

Sink them all.

Aren't they going after sailboats? These aren't like mega-yachts owned by Bezos. It's like someone's entire life savings, retirement plan

You know I wouldn't want it any other waaaaaay!

I want to believe that orcas absolutely would belt out singer/songwriter hits from the 1990s if they could.

My brain wants me to translate this into creep and I can't.

I believe its supposed to be to "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks.
- I thought it was the Australian hit number one I'm a bloke
  
  "I'm a bloke, I'm an ocker"...
  
  Rhymes a bit better.
