Reply to comment by scotty-doesnt_know in TIL that sperm whales are the loudest animal on Earth, and their clicks can literally kill you with sound by g1ucose

This is true. Fin whales, humpbacks, sperm whales and orcas have all been found to have spindle neurons, the cells in human brains that are responsible for empathy, social interaction and organisation and speech.

There are plenty of uncomfortable conversations that humans need to have with themselves, but this particular one ranks highly imo.
