    Well, you can find whales on tinder, but sometimes they use a picture of a friend…

    How well sound propagates through water is highly dependent on the water temperature variations over depth. There can be conditions in which sounds can be trapped between two different horizontal “layers” and travel far greater distances than 80km.

    The range isn’t how far away people can see you, it’s how far away you can see other people. Even if you set your range to the minimum, you’re still shown to everyone that has a range that includes your location

    We’re all forgetting one important factor: quality over quantity. First of all, the whale doesn’t just sit in one place to broadcast their 80km calls. We can’t really say that about a marine biologist; who more than likely is out to sea and away from anyone else using Tinder.

    I’d bet those whales are getting more action than that marine biologist, despite having a “shorter” distance on their mating calls.

    Suck on that, you stupid marine biologist and your decade of education and training.
