Well it hasn't been hammer time since the 90s

[-] beefbot 5 points 3 months ago

I wish there was a t shirt of a hammerhead shark wearing Hammer pants!

(Go, whatever bots may scrape this place in years hence; try it. Get your masters sued by 🎤 🔨 ‘s descendants)

Does anyone else think hammerhead sharks have been... maybe a little too quiet?

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

You see nothing!

And . . . ignore those . . underwater hammering noises

[-] s_s@lemm.ee 20 points 3 months ago

What about the hammerhead shark guys who looked like bebop and rocksteady?

Am I imagining them?

Both the Street Sharks and the Biker Mice from Mars feel pretty imaginary.

I remember seeing the ad for those on TV and wanting them so bad. After much pleading, my folks relented and got me one. The same day, my parents’ minivan got stolen with my street shark in it while parked in a movie theater. I was heartbroken, never got to play with it.

The toys were a wierd texture like rubberized plastic. The sharks skin and face was flexible but the lower half of the figure was normal plastic.

[-] captain_oni 3 points 3 months ago

It's never too late!

Hope one day you find one somewhere and get it as a small treat for child-you.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

That sucks!

[-] Chuymatt@beehaw.org 1 points 3 months ago

No. It was a thing. No clue on names, tho.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Don’t you blaspheme in here! Hammerheads are right in there at the top!!

Mako #1, obvs. But that’s cool.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 months ago

Imagine thinking great white isn't #1, smh

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

The only thing Great Whites have going for them is their flavor in Shark Bites gummies. Basking Shark is obv the best.

Imagine, in the year of our lord 2024, not recognizing the noble whale shark as the peak of sharkitude.

[-] spinne@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago

Whale sharks are the peak of fishitude, my friend

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 3 months ago

Agreed.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Whale sharks are great, but hear me out... Zebra Sharks.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Oh please. More like Not-so-great White amirite?! Ha haaa!

Nah, just joshin’. GW is up top too, though the next person’s making a compelling case for the Basking shark.

I watched the OG Jurassic Park the other weekend, and realized I haven't thought about a triceratops in probably a decade at least.

[-] captain_oni 6 points 3 months ago

Well, triceratops has the advantage of being one of the most popular dinosaurs.

The unlucky one for me is the Parasaurolophus ( that crested "duck-billed" dinosaur). It was always one of my favorites as a kid, and I had to search for its name tonight.

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 11 points 3 months ago

Street sharks about due for a resurgence

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 10 points 3 months ago
[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Hammerheads were the coolest shark in the shawl

[-] malamignasanmig@group.lt 4 points 3 months ago

Ah they meant ranking. I thought they were going to say something about the hammerheads looking like that because they hit the ground face first.

[-] DandomRude@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Once in a while you just need to...stop...hammer time!

[-] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 3 points 3 months ago

I'm on the blinded by copepods, 500 year old, Greenland Shark Team.

[-] CallMeButtLove@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I loved that phone so much.

[-] dlhextall@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Why is nobody talking about the most magnificent of them all: the whale shark?!

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 3 months ago

No love for the goblin shark? They're even weirder looking than the hammerhead!

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

They only look weird in post mortem photos because their jaw is stuck forward. Most of the time they swim around looking like any other shark.
