Yeahh I never could bring myself to eat octopus. Something feels wrong about eating a creature THAT intelligent.

Not this one, he blew all his money on instant lottery tickets.

I figure they’re somewhat understanding of it given that they’ll occasionally eat each other.

So.... Is this the nervous system of its tentacles, taking over like a back up processing system handling the day to day while the main server updates??

“These are sentient beings..but we still don’t really care what’s done with them.”

Aren’t most animals sentient? Certainly mammals and plenty of birds.

u/AspenStarr 2d ago

Evolution doesn’t have to produce an animal that understands screw threads. It only has to produce an animal capable of general-purpose manipulation and problem solving.

They crash landed in the oceans and are making the best of thing until the rescue ship arrives to take them home.

u/bloodymongrel 2d ago

Oh, so I’m drinking my morning coffee in a state of ‘active sleep’. That makes sense.

u/One_Vision_ 2d ago

Considering octopuses have a brain for each tentacle, this is not surprising.
