Proposed design for the Salmon Combiner Turbine.

The salmonplexer

It's actually a salmon decimator. 1 in, many out

Check the arrow direction, it's a salmon smasher!

Their tails deceived me!! This large salmon collider will hopefully find the Biggs Bass-n particles that fishermen always say got away.

Yeah, though I can see how it looks like it's going the other way at first glance, what with the fish facing the wrong direction.

But why do they have to back in?

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Little known fact, the reverse beeping noise that large trucks use was taken from salmon. When they swim in reverse they all make that beep sound and researchers really love repetitive beeping noises when they're studying so they built it this way.

They like going backwards
