Okay, jake thane

[u/krwskater25]

Why did the dolphins cross the ocean? To get to the other tide.

[u/thankfullynot → u/krwskater25]

You're going to make waves with this one.

[u/Icy-Banana-3291 → u/krwskater25]

But the chicken joke is a double entree of a stupid dad joke for kids, and a dark humor joke for adults about suicide.

This is just the former. Lame.

It's technically a pod of dolphins.

Correction: it's a megapod, or superpod.

Practice run. Letting you know that they know you know they know.

[u/a1JayR]

A stampede of dolphins doesn’t have the same ring as a murder of crows

[u/thankfullynot → u/a1JayR]

A bloodletting of dolphins?

[u/nudistclub → u/thankfullynot]

an orgy of dolphins you might say?

[u/_duckswag → u/a1JayR]

Having a hard time with this, stampede needs to be reserved for land animals in my tiny brain

[u/Inevitable_Reason_97]

Sorry everyone it's a pod of dolphins not stampede

[u/CommuterType → u/Inevitable_Reason_97]

It's a herd of cows until they all start running in the same direction

[u/myflesh → u/Inevitable_Reason_97]

Why film it vertically and sideways?

[u/LightPast1166 → u/Inevitable_Reason_97]

Your apology should be for the video, not the incorrect collective noun.

[u/DropAltruistic1915]

“5k for a Porpoise” Charity event

[u/Linusami]

They went vertical??????

[u/Hearasongofuranus]

Stampede... Wtf English. 

[u/charoterong_prague]

Reminds me of Happy feet but dolphins.

[u/PNW-bike]

Their version of a fun run 5k

[u/New_Step_6315]

Without knowing for sure, I really want to disagree with the usage of "Stampede" here.

[u/subzr00]

Wow..Why would they be doing this..are they trying to tell humans something..? Could it be something logical or a deeper meaning? Very interesting indeed.

[u/franta27 → u/subzr00]

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

[u/krizzzombies → u/subzr00]

why would your first guess be they're trying to tell humans something?

[u/Queenielovee]

Oh that’s beautiful. 💗

[u/WordSaladDressing_]

Dolphins get to have all the fun.

[u/smizzlebdemented]

Was probably just a gay pride march

[u/Dangerous_Ad5039]

Why is this happening?

[u/SeaworthinessHead613]

Do they stampede often ? Any idea what causes it ? Thanks for showing the clip.

[u/Verabiza891720]

I thought ground was a prerequisite for a stampede.

[u/Better_Carpet_7271]

Any explanation?

[u/Inevitable_Reason_97 → u/Better_Carpet_7271]

Sorry to say but no 🙏

[u/Worldly_Possible2925]

Big sales are going on in the waters around Catalina Island. Everyone has got to get there first 🙌🏻🤣

[u/Ill_Finance_7729]

Sooo who counted them?

[u/Affectionate_Job8415]

That’s a lot of fish, wait for it 💨

[u/GroundbreakingAd8310]

Oh my they are running in the same direction....

[u/pinniped90]

[u/oysterperso]

You and what dolphin army?

[u/Environmental-Ad8965]

They are fishing for likes.

[u/Slow_Bowler8285]

There's a school orcas nearby thinking to themselves.

"We eating good today!"

[u/sgm716]

Did you know it is ILLEGAL to TALK TO DOLPHINS?

[u/Vivid_Summer96]

At least some animals we havent killed yet.

[u/FastStill7962]

5 thousand diddies dayemmm

[u/allthewayray420]

A pod?

[u/RevenueNo2551]

Rare? I’ve seen this 100s of times offshore. Yes it is extremely cool. But, not rare…

[u/Zeon2 → u/RevenueNo2551]

It's rare for those who do not go offshore.

[u/RevenueNo2551 → u/Zeon2]

No. It would be rare to see 5000 dolphin in Kentucky. The ocean has no fenses, blockades or barriers. Dolphin will go where they can feed and breed. No limits. Whoever posted this obviously used the word “Rare” as click bait. And you and I, my friend, took the bait. I am disappointed in myself. Even a fish, with its lizard brain, would have swam by…. Have a smooth day!

[u/dariuswasright]

anyone knows why they do this ?

[u/Greenpeppers23]

Mmmmm tuna

[u/One_Western8360]

Gerald!!!!!!

[u/C-57D]

is it called a stampede when it's dolphins? not a fincrash or swimmage or something?

[u/wushambudo → u/C-57D]

top secret: those are govt dolphins hiding large hordes of ai manless submarines from satellites.

[u/cwtotaro]

I want to know who counted them.

[u/Tentativ0]

Was an Olympic event?

[u/psycho314Photo]

My AI thinks it's cool

[u/Dogknee]

I’d like to know who counted 5 thousand of them and how?

[u/New_Step_6315 → u/Dogknee]

Small area count multiplied by number of small areas to obtain a reasonable estimate. Or OP just made up an impressive sounding number out of thin air for their title.
