What if Dolphins were the Dominant Species on Earth?

Picture this: A world run by dolphin overlords. They're already super smart so maybe it's not that much of a stretch? Our cities would be underwater, sports would probably involve lots of acrobatics, and seafood would be the global cuisine. I’m imagining intricate coral architecture and maybe they'd invent a whole new type of internet to communicate across the oceans. Not to mention the transit system—submarines or trained sharks, anyone? It’d be a fascinating blend of flipper-tech and marine elegance.

Trained sharks lol, what's next flying whales? 😆

Let's be real here. The physical limitations alone would prevent dolphins from creating technology and intricate coral architecture like we imagine in sci-fi. No thumbs, no fire, no metallurgy. It's fun to think about, but they'd need some serious biological evolution to handle tools and build structures like humans do.

I'm down with dolphin cities! Been saying it for years that dolphins are smart, they probably have their own complex societies down there. Think about the tourist attractions though. Forget scuba tours, it'd be full-on city tours complete with dolphin guides. Dolphin-made movies where the plot twists happen in three dimensions because of the whole underwater thing. Yep, I'm ready for this.

Interesting to consider... if dolphins were dominant, would they have a concept of 'land'? Maybe 'land' would be their version of outer space. I wonder what myths and stories they would create about the dry and air-filled places beyond their watery world.

Surely humans wouldn't be involved in dolphin sports. We'd be too slow and clumsy in the water. Unless we all evolved webbed feet and hands, I guess. Getting around might also be a hassle... dolphin buses? Good luck getting to work on time if you live upstream!

As long as I get an endless supply of sushi, I'm all for our dolphin overlords 😂

Honestly, if dolphins ran the show, maybe the oceans would be in better shape. They seem to live more in harmony with their environment than we do with ours. Perhaps their energy sources would be all clean and renewable, like tidal and wave energy instead of fossil fuels. Would be a welcome change for the planet.

Man, the idea of dolphin tech is wild, I can't even imagine what their version of the internet would be. Echo-location social media? Sound-wave messaging apps? And don't even get me started on how amazing and complex their structures would have to be to withstand ocean currents. Their science would be so different from ours, all about the water dynamics and stuff. Crazy to think about!
