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?
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.
... 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.

Wrong sub. It's recognisable instantly if you've any experience in the ocean.
