Two seals were floating along together when one said “Damn, I think I just became a sealion.” - “Are you sure?” asked the seal, concerned. - “I’m positive,” said the sealion.

I was followed by a cation the other day. I think I tried to shoo it away, but I couldn’t be positive.

Well, sealions DO have valence (external) earlectrons 💫 (Plot twist: "fur seals" are actually sea-lions 😮)

yes this is it. @katriellerose.bsky.social hated this joke by the time we left the aquarium last year. "sea lions are basically just seals, give or take a few electrons"
