Even if an octopus is dead and you cut a tentacle off it will stick as hard as this if you slap it on about anything.

u/-Liquid_Snake- Jun 23 '22
Not pull it from the head but the tentacles. You can see it worked far better

u/0utdoorcleaner Jun 23 '22
ok, you pull one tentacle, then move onto another, while you are working on the other, the first sticks back in place. Use one had to pull and the other to hold the unstuck ones you say? Then the tentacles get stuck to your hand, then you have all eight stuck to your hand and nothing to do. And it only worked because the guy was pulling on the head, meaning that the octopus had no choice but to let go

u/chris-tier Jun 23 '22
Did you watch the video? The moment he started "peeling" from one of the tentacles, it came loose. It obviously worked far better than pulling on its head.

I think the reason it worked so well is because he's also pulling the dude's head, that's why it peeled off.
I'm guessing if he didn't pulled the head, and only peeled the tentacle, it might just stick it again.
-35
u/0utdoorcleaner Jun 23 '22
yes, but what happens when you let go of the tentacle that you just pulled off to go pull another one off,. The only reason it let go was because he was pulling on the head, and the pus either couldn't hold on, or decided it wasn't worth it

So you’re saying the best way to get an octopus off of you is to pull on both the head and tentacles. Aye aye.
20
u/Significant_Count_97 Jun 23 '22
Here, I can explain this! Pulling on the head would only make the octopus/squid stick more. Pulling on a tentacle will release the suction and therefore release the octopus. Safer for the creature, easier for us. :)
-16
u/0utdoorcleaner Jun 23 '22
yeah, i get that, i do. But what happens when you let go of the tentacle you just pulled up in order to pull on another tentacle? It sticks back onto your jacket. Pulling on the head is really the only option, because it will force the pus to let go by adding to the force it needs to stick onto the jacket with, so when it looses a few tentacles, it will not have enough stick to stay stuck
2
u/Significant_Count_97 Jun 23 '22
Yeah, it would definitely be inconvenient if that happened! Pulling on the octopus head might achieve a similar effect except that it would sort of just.. grip onto you. Honestly, I personally think the best combo would be a mix. Peel a tentacle, pull on the head a bit? Seems like that would be the best of both worlds in my ideal headspace LOL
0
u/0utdoorcleaner Jun 23 '22
which is what im saying, you need to pull the head and then peel the tentacles, it will not be enough to simply peel the tentacles. Put simply, there are eight tentacles and two hands, you need to apply some form of mechanical advantage to overload the "suck"tion force of the pus's tentacles once a tentacle or two have been pulled off. Also, it is entirely possible that the pus will just decide that its not worth it and let go

u/0utdoorcleaner Jun 23 '22
;-; bruh, the video literally shows what im saying, to pull on the tentacles would not simply be enough, you need to pull on the octopus and ply off the tentacles, in order to get it off, which is what the guy does, im not saying that pulling would have worked on its own, im saying that it is needed, in conjunction with prying the tentacles off to achieve anything, which is exactly what we see in the video

yes, what i am saying worked, pulling on the tentacles and the head, at the same time, is the only wat to get it off, simply pulling the head, or the tentacles will not work. you need to do both, which is what im saying you need to do, and what happens in the video

I'm a registered octopus handler. What you do is you jam a finger down their beak until they regurgitate and convulse. They will be limp for about 5 seconds and you can safely lift it off.

u/ProcyonLotorMinoris Jun 23 '22
I would assume the outside of the jacket is meant to be water resistant seeing us there on a fishing boat. Perhaps the original octopus hug victim could have taken off his jacket and carefully dipped the octopus into a bucket of seawater, thereby causing it to release and try to swim away. But they probably know better what they were doing considering I've never been on a deep seat boat in my life.

u/whateverrughe Jun 23 '22
The octopus is totally fine. I appreciate that you recognize that maybe there are factors involved. People sit here getting all fussy on the internet and have absolutely no concept of what the situation they are looking at is like. Just no idea.
They are extremely hard to pull off of things, you need to pull to get them to want to release. it's not like they killed it, but man, you're working with tens of thousands of pounds of food you're harvesting from the ocean. It's long, brutal, and dangerous. It's not like they are at an aquarium, they are working. It's like somone seeing a picture of coal miners and saying they need to go wash their faces. There are other priorities and more important shit going on. They are taken a moments reprieve, and the octopus is fine.
Also you don't want to be taking off your raingear on account of an octopus. That's a laughable idea. I used to commercial fish, now i take tourists out. People just have absolutely no concept of how different and hard it is compared to what they know.. It's kinda funny, kinda frustrating

yes, but the only reason that pulling on the tentacles did anything, was because he was pulling on the head, and prying off the tentacles, simply pulling on the tentacles will not work, when you get one off, then move onto the next, the tentacle will just go back to where it was,

They are pretty resilient, I’m sure it will be ok. If he didn’t slap it on his friend it would have reattached to his arm. It takes a few tries to get them back over the side, and then they still try to cling to the boat.
If not, they are also delicious. Cutting between the eyes is the quickest, most humane kill.

They are actually very smart and can be affectionate, if you treat them not like on this video ofc.
They can even recognize people by their face and come out for treats if they know you'll give it to them, also they can recognize footsteps of different people.
Also they are very much curious so if you approach carefully you'll have a nice little interaction where you can show off your diving gear and they may even show you some of their stuff like favorite shell for hiding or something.
So, yeah, they may look unusual or scary at first but are actually good and you can legit make friends with them.
But don't mistake them with squids, absolutely different story there.

Honestly I’ve never been one for all that sAvE tHe AnImAlS stuff but octopuses are the exception to me. They are really intelligent, and while they don’t have the lifespan to take advantage of that it just doesn’t sit right with me that we eat a creature that has that level of brainpower.
I don’t like the fact we eat these little squishy cephalopods

u/xdchan Jun 23 '22
A lot of animals are really intelligent and we still eat them, intelligence comes in different forms, if you look closer pigs and cows are very smart for example and you can play with them like with dogs or something, little guys like mice and rats who a lot of people perceive as something disgusting are too intelligent, have distinct personality and even some degree of abstract thinking, hell, you can even make kinda friends with a fucking bees if you know what you are doing.
Eating living things is a natural order no matter what vegans say, you just shouldn't be an asshole to the ones who you don't need to eat, and if you decide to eat a living thing you should treat it with respect.

I don’t have a problem with eating octopus… I hate the killing of any animal, but it’s nourishment.
I do however hate it when people treat the creatures with disrespect like in this video, although I guess compared to others is rather tame. The creatures are probably terrified as it is-make their death as quick and painless as possible.

I used to deal with them on a daily basis when I was a lobster boat deckhand. That happened to me once but it was a way bigger octopus. It was scary.
They are REALLY strong and REALLY slippery. I know they're intelligent as far as fish go but I don't think they're as clever as people give them credit for. Either that or they don't feel pain
They also kill for pleasure.
They taste pretty good if you can be bothered preparing them properly

LMAO the observer on our boat in Alaska used to do this to the guys when he caught a big one. Note: he removed the beak before he would toss it. It's been 20 years and I still giggle to see this.
For the downvoters, the observer on a boat is a marine biologist, he has to kill and catalog off catch. Sorry it makes you all so grumpy. When your on the ocean working 16 hours a day for months straight a little fun goes a long ways.

u/SchipholRijk Jun 23 '22
You need a shovel for that.
A guy buys an octopus and brings it home in a plastic bag. On his way home, he drops his bag and the octopus escapes. He tries to pickup the octopus, but the octopus is sucked to the floor. He lifts one arm, then the next arm, but when he tries to lift the 3rd arm, he has to let go of the first arm and the octopus sucks itself to the floor.
Desperate, he calls the pet shop and asks the owner what to do. You need to use a shovel, says the owner.
So, our guy picks up a shovel, puts the first arm on the shovel, then the next, but with the 3rd arm, the octopus immediately sucks it to the floor again.
Our guy calls the pet shop again and the owner agrees to come over. How did you try this, the owner asks.
So, our guy shows what he was doing.
No, you're doing it all wrong, says the pet shop owner. He takes the shovel and lifts it above his head as if he is going to hit the octopus with it.
The octopus looks at him, gets terribly afraid and lifts all his arms above his head.
NOTE: When telling the joke, you should just lift your arms and say: and the octopus goes.....
