great, so you don't even understand the purpose of such foods. You don't know how they are made, and you probably boil pasta until it is mushy, sticky soup anyway.

The ridges are specifically functional and necessary. They are for meaty and oily sauces.

You should probably try to eat real food sometime, before spouting off like a naive simpleton that just saw the ocean for the first time in his life, and is now attempting to inform the rest of the world about this "beautiful amazing thing that you have just discovered!"
The ridges provide the shittiest tactile feedback and makes everything worse. Which is why the house has accumulated bags and boxes of penne while other boxes have been eaten. Whereas, with rotini, I'll eat even with nothing at all. I will not be wasting time and money when the fundamental physical feature is the cause of revulsion.
Mushed pasta is fucking nasty. I always boil to al dente, bitch. Shit, I only cook my pasta because my mom and sister do the dumbest shit when cooking it, and with such consistency I will not even give them another chance to cook pasta for me.

I'd crap my pants. Most people won't have the balls to do that, becauase we lack the experience.

Orcas force the shark on their backs so they can rip out their livers.

Catatonic immobility, quite handy for those of us not content to snip the leader and leave the shark with a hook.

What fascinates me there isn't orca feeding on great whites so much, it's what happens almost immediately afterwards. When a great white gets taken out, the dozens of other (tagged) great whites miles away, all around, all suddenly go deep and bug out.

Or the simulation programmed them that way to preserve the population :)
They are more critical to the ecosystem than we know, due to some reason yet to be discovered. They could also be the perimeter defense force for the subterranean aliens that are sighted flying their "bright light" saucers from time to time.

Most likely some hypersonic signal emanates from the downed shark. Or they are telepathic, which wouldn't surprise me coz their bodies are remarkable. They don't get cancer and their kidneys can repair themselves.

Shark DNA could help cure cancer and age-related illnesses in humans - BBC News

All I know is it isn't based on smell. Even though their ability to detect minute amounts of scent in the water is really impressive, scent molecules don't travel out in 360 degrees, at speed. That's not how water works. Diffusion and permeation can't disregard current, depth, wind or temp and salinity changes. Certainly not over wide distances, nearly instantaneously.

Whatever it is, it's freaky.

My theory is it's electrical in nature. A shark perishing does a kind of 'death rattle,' in a very faint spectrum unknown to us and specific to them. Creates a kind of echo, detectable within a certain range via their lateral lines and/or AoL.
