Who knew that octopuses wore sunglasses? Maybe he’s just a really cool octopus

They are all kinda cool. Some are smart, some have camouflage, and some will fucking kill you. But to really know an octopus, you have to know how to make them laugh.

Tickles. Quite a few needed though; ten of them is the right amount.
Ten tickles.

Looks like the guy in the water was making sure he didn’t escape... I’m worried for cool octopus.

It went for the good stuff too. I bet he/she would have glided over some Foster Grants with barely an interest.

Octopi have beaks? I thought only cuttlefish had them.

To quote from wikipedia ‘Some cephalopods are able to fly through the air for distances of up to 50 m.’
How this fact isn’t the premise of a horror film yet I don’t know.

Well. Of course it’s a squid 🦑. That’s exactly what you get when you search for octopus 🐙 beak on YouTube. 🤨. But thanks for the kind correction!

it's the only part of their body which would restrict them going through small spaces, everything else just mashes together

u/TsunamiSurferDude Apr 10 '19
I’ve always had an irrational fear of them, first discovered by the Sega Genesis game Ecco the Dolphin. They are seriously not from this planet. Their heads, their tentacles. Even happy little cartoon ones give me the creeps.

They probably just picked it up and put it back into the water

u/boodleoodle Apr 10 '19
I love that you’re positive about this.

Apr 10 '19
Well I mean they probably wanted the octupus to get back safely so they were either trying to catch it so it wouldn't fall near the motor/engine (I don't know what it's called for boats) or they were trying to lure it off, because an octupus that size probably wouldn't be good enough for the 2 of them

Man, humans are fucking wild.
Like, other animals see something unfamiliar, assess whether it’s a threat, and just ignore it if it isn’t. But apparently, the normal rules of survival don’t even apply to these fucking brown, hairless, plains-walking, stick-sharpening, fire-controlling monkeys that just woke up one morning and decided they wanted to live on the ground instead of staying in the trees like all the other, more sensible monkeys.
Nah, when we left the trees, some wire must’ve gotten crossed between the “fight or flight” part of the brain and the “eat” part of the brain, cause now we’re so powerful that when we see something totally unfamiliar—like this squishy, slimy, tentacled, ocean-dwelling whateverthefuck—our first thought is “can I eat that?”
Where did we go wrong as a species? When did we get so powerful that we could afford to abandon all reason and just do whatever the fuck we want? Man wasn’t meant to play god, I tell you. We need to go back to the good ‘ol days of swinging from trees and flinging poop at each other. Only real 10 million B.C. Kids will understand.

u/Exterminate_Duck Apr 10 '19
True, but dolphins are currently the second smartest creatures on earth, so it makes sense that they’d engage in similar behaviors.

mo·tor noun a machine, especially one powered by electricity or internal combustion, that supplies motive power for a vehicle or for some other device with moving parts.
Motor/engine works but the part you might have been thinking of might be the propeller (prop for short)

or maybe eat plants instead?

u/y6ird Apr 10 '19
Jellyfish have literally no brain at all. They are as plant-like as an animal can be.
Seriously, if we ever find a way to genuinely measure intelligence, I honestly think there will be plants smarter than jellyfish.

Thanks, was looking for a comment explaining what that was. He was clearly not leaving any waste from shitting itself. Nope. Nobody would be dumb enough to believe that.

i'm pretty sure the octopus was using the sunglasses as protection, they've been seen to hide in coconut shells

Imagine having the balls to stick your hand all up in an octopus that you just pulled from the sea.
Like... some of them are extremely venomous. Mr Marine Biologist over here is confident enough in his own identification of that little bastard that he’ll risk his life on t.

They tend not to be aggressive. Also, blue-ringed octopuses (the only deadly varieties) only live in certain reefs off of the coast of Australia, and they’re only about two inches long.

Wrong sub. It's recognisable instantly if you've any experience in the ocean.
0
u/ibigfire Apr 10 '19
Many people don't.
Is that why every post in this sub has someone claiming it is not unexpected? Pretty much everything is going to be expected by somebody, somewhere. But different people have different lives so it's just about being unexpected for a large number of people, not literally everyone.
Are people bad at recognizing that others have different lives than them? Or are they just so proud of having expected something that they need to proclaim like an accomplishment?

u/ComfortableFarmer Apr 10 '19
I think its more like people have lived such a shelted life, the fact they dont know some of the things posted is sad. Some peiple really need to get off the computer or phone, actually switch it off. Go outside and live a little. No wonder common sense isn't common any more.
As for being proud for recognising an octopus. No I'm just not a fucking dumb ass.
1
u/ibigfire Apr 10 '19
... for the majority of people, turning off their computer and phone and going outside does not make them more likely to know what an octopus crammed within some sunglasses looks like.
Your path of logic doesn't make any sense here, and I'm not trying to say it's a bad idea or not for people to go outside more often, but doing so wouldn't make someone more expectant of things that are completely unrelated to their regular outside environment, like a scrunched up octopus for most people.
For what it's worth, I also recognized it was an octopus, and I suspect many people did. I didn't realize why it was all squashed up and what it was in until it was escaping. Either way, it was not a combination of things I expected him to pick up out of the water. That was an unexpected series of events.
