Poor salmon

Fun (not fun) fact: farmed salmon meat is gray, so they put coloring agents in their feed to turn it into the color we expect it to be.
Sockeye Salmon. The real question we should be asking though is why it is spelled with an "L."
- why is knife spelt with a k?
  why is hour spelt with an h?
  Why is wednesday pronounced wendsday?
  Just is. Michael McIntyre did a good bit about this.
Because that's the color you turn before you mate
- Still involves the fish dying
  
  Duh? Otherwise the Salmon would already know why.
  
  Don't have to tell him that part, nor the agonizing journey along the way, just sell the silver lining. If you can make it a subscription that he can't easily get out of.
  
  Yeah but fucking so hard you die is something to be proud of.
  
  Just in the circle of life mate(sinister snicker)
Or could it be that the place and time when salmon are easily seen by people is spawning season and at least some of the species turn a bright "salmon pink/red" colour at that time? They are dying then as well, but naturally, so it is still and end of life colour for them.
I still need to process that it is supposed to be pronounced "samon" according this other meme.
- More "samun", (/ˈsæmən/) because the last syllable turns into a "schwa", the default unemphasized vowel sound in English.
  
  Any English vowel can be a schwa if you're brave enough
  
  is the term called a "schwa" or does the vowel literaly turn into "schwa"? I can not tell if your're serious.
- Been pronouncing the L up to now?
  
  I have pronounced the L in salmon since the episode of King of the Hill where Octavio starts hanging out with Hank all the time.
  "Salmon, Hank! They put salmon in the fish tacos!"
  
  yeah and will continue to do so.
I think it's cool that fish and butterflies have scales
- Wow, that just blew my mind.
  I guess there's reptiles, too
Why does it say "Source: US government"? 😂
- probs from the pic of the fishy.
Because you're absolutely delicious
- Either rude or weird. Depends on how you mean it 😄
Don't worry salmon, I will show you just after I get this BBQ going
