You'll get away with either sin.

I'd rather just learn Whale Songs so I can insult their Mac and Cheese recipes in their own language.

Will extraterrestrials come to destroy the Earth in a few hundred years if they don't hear the whale's songs?

Let the whales die

(Because I am kind of a bastard and enjoy living a bit more than I enjoy blue whales)

Man, that chick from Star Trek IV would be pissed off at each and every last one of you right now.

So jokes aside, how big of an impact would the extinction of the whales cause, anyway?

Apart from an upset of the food chain across varying oceans nothing huge, although someone with more knowledge on the aspect could come in and call me on that one. Me, I'm a big fan of keeping as many species alive as possible and all that. I'd probably be willing to sacrifice a few hundred humans in the name of a beautiful and unique species; blue whales are the largest species on Earth, after all!

I don't know the exact ecosystem but if you look at the history of the earth I have to say one species going extinct isn't a big deal in the long run. Life on this planet has survived some ridiculously brutal trauma where 75% of all species' of those times were wiped out, the ocean can surely handle blue whales disappearing.

That being said, I'd save the whales.

Yeah, like I said, I don't think it'd be a major ordeal. Especially since they're not even the only whales out there by a long shot.

All I remember is they eat planktons. Anything eat them?

Blue Whales disappearing wouldn't really change much since they're at the top of the foodchain thanks to their massive size so they're not hunted by a lot of things besides humans. The only thing that'd happen is a higher population of krill.

Now if Krills or Planktons were to disappear that'd hurt much much more.

I'm pretty sure the largest animal on the planet doesn't have very many natural predators.

Except maybe orcas.

Because those things are hardcore.

I imagine orcas only eat babies or sick adults.

Orcas do attack Blue Whales but they're far from their main feeding source.

At first, I thought you were talking about humans, for some reason.

Maybe you are.

We've never had 1 species just straight up disappear, they always die off slowly

Except the dinosaurs.. but thats not just 1 species

Don't worry guys, I have all the clubs

Don't forget the Permian-Triassic extinction event. It has been argued that a major catastrophic event took place at that time.

It was also significantly more devastating than the more well-known and abrupt one.

Some of the monsters that existed during that era are more impressive to me than the dinosaurs, it was almost like an alien planet. It makes me wonder what earth will be like hundreds of millions of years from now after our time has passed.
