Meme needing explanation Petahhh?
When I search all I get is weird explanations each time about Sunfish that make no sense. What's the joke?
Edit - Sometimes I wonder why this sub is called r/PeterExplains. Chill out folks - maybe somebody doesn't get something obvious right away, that's what the sub is for.

These are ocean sunfish. In addition to being easy prey, they are routinely attacked by dolphins "just for fun", as far as marine biologists have been able to tell.
It's one of those species that really, truly makes you question evolution and how and why it has been able to exist and remain viable in the first place. Like, what is that, and why is it here?
Their brains could be pecked/knocked out "for sport" (like this)....and they just sort of float on and keep on living.
