Cool video. I probably would've posted it to Geek or Main. The Video freaks are more into freaks

Truly one of the coolest videos I have seen in a while.

That was really cool. I want one.

Cool.

so long and thanks for all the bubbles???

Reminds me of this article.

So....why aren't the bubbles rising?

majestykelf: So....why aren't the bubbles rising?

I think they are spinning? Not around the center, but... Tumbling? Turning themselves inside out.
That might provide enough resistance for them to just kinda float like that.
Like a smoke ring in water.
Anyone else smarter than me care to explain?

Totally not what I was expecting. Amazing

amazing... seems to defy physics

Cool and sad at the same time. Wish they were out in the ocean.

One of those dolphins looks disturbingly like Don Knotts.

What I think would be cool, is of they train the dolphins to smoke cigarettes. Hence, underwater smoke rings. Yeah!!!

Coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Music sucked, tho. Huzzah mute buttons.

Bit'O'Gristle: Cool and sad at the same time. Wish they were out in the ocean.

They seem happy. All the food they could need and no predators...

Wow was that cool.

Reminds me of this. (new window)

not impressed

chefjoeardee: not impressed

That game gave me nightmares for some reason... thanks for opening up old wounds

I've seen smokers do the same with smoke.

Thanks for the info subby, only New York, wars, and so on to go.

Dolphins once again prove they're better than the human race, the suckfest of the universe.

The Cloverfield monster is a giant dolphin upset that he can't blow giant ring bubbles.

Bloody awesome.

Very cool.

Amazing creatures.

No, GOD created wheels and GAVE them to dolphins.

All they'd get us is dirty jokes.

Brin for the win!

I, for one, welcome our new dolphin overlords.

And so it begins...

It looks like the dolphin is using its "sonar" to control the ring, pushing it thru thr water and preventing it from going up. Probably started by a fart but at least one likes it and can do it better.

Dolphins spend their lives swimming. playing and farking. Remind me- who's the intelligent species?

He's trying to convince us he's intelligent enough to be let free.

I just read that the Japanese are still hunting them. I didn't realize that the Japanese hate water rings that much.

I can't wait to eat that dolphin.

'Pha want Bee NOW.

Maybe that guy who's into dolphin sex will come in here and tell us all about it, since he's a dolphin expert and all.

Christ, why does Fark whore itself out to retard headlines like that. Even sites that tolerate selective racism like Fark can have some standards.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Selective racism?

Various Japanese individuals and organizations regularly hunt and kill cetaceans. Subby's joke was playing off this fact. I fail to see any such "racism." Baka schmuck.

Interesting choice of music. "No One is Alone" from Into the Woods. Yay Sondheim.

Meh. Standard 3 meter decompression pastime.

Still cool though.

t3knomanser: Dolphins spend their lives swimming. playing and farking. Remind me- who's the intelligent species?

That's possibly the dumbest thing I have read on fark.

I am even MORE amazed that they can cut down the rings to SMALLER rings.
Even scarier would be if that one dolphin made that "infinity loop" on porpoise

So hot.

Basically, they do the same with the water, that we do with smoke rings. We create a circular vortex that can sustain its shape, as long as there is still enough kinetic energy in the vortex.

Same with the dolphins, but the technique they use allows them much greater control. I don't think I could ever do something like that with a smoke ring.

What's really cool is the way they break off little pieces of the ring and re-energize them. Didn't one of them do it like 3 times from one surface circle? Looks so sweet!

ssrat: Even scarier would be if that one dolphin made that "infinity loop" on porpoise

I see what you did there, trés cool!

While cool, humans can do it too so it's not all that special.

They definitely seem to have higher than normal intelligence though. When was they last time your dog did something like that?

Not even close to human intelligence though.
