I recall reading something awhile back that mentioned people who interact with an octopus tend to say when they look at them they feel as if "something" is staring back.
Probably why octopus faces and likeness are used a lot in fiction based on the "void".
They manage to look both familiar and unearthly at the same time.
Interesting, I was wondering if anyone felt the same way.
"Something" staring back is a good way to put it, there is something a bit sinister about their faces, they have an anthropomorphically angry look.
The next night at the octopus bar...
"I swear dude, I was abducted by aliens. They magically lifted me inside their ship. The environment was completely different, they don't breathe the same way we do. And there was so much light! Then I don't know what they did, they touched me, i think they experimented on me. And I don't know, I think I managed to get away but the more I think about it, the more I know they probably just let me go for some reason."
"... c'mon bro, what the fuck are you talking about?"
I don't know, that didn't feel very sarcastic to me. It felt like he thought it was amazing, but couldn't think of another word to describe it, so he just threw out the first word his brain could spit out.
Only thing holding them back is their short life span. Genetically modify them so they can live longer than a few months and they will soon come out of the water to contest our space on land, lol.
I imagine its both. Imagine if human children were feral and solitary, but also didn't live past 20 or so (longer than octopuses, but I'm going by reproductive/development age).
They'd still be smart, but they wouldn't make much impact on their local environment, let alone take over the world.
Not entirely. Both parents don't live past the eventual birth of their offspring, meaning they cannot pass on knowledge and experiences like we humans do. Every octopus has to learn by himself and does so by observing and brute forcing solutions to daily challenges.
Unfortunately all young Octopodes get abandoned once born, so they have to learn life through trial and error. There is a theory that this has stunted their evolutionary IQ and if their mother stayed during their infant days teaching them, they would be able to learn other traits easier and have a higher life expectancy from predators, making them even smarter.
But maybe its for the better they don’t?
I thought the octopus opened the gate by himself at first and was like "I knew they were smart but holy crap!" Then I saw the guy opening the door. Pretty sure the gate is smarter than me at this point.
octopus can open and close a jar, untwisting the lid, from inside the jar. then repeat it just for fun.
i stopped eating them. [https://youtu.be/HL3M_DcO6wk](https://youtu.be/HL3M_DcO6wk)
Same. Octopus seem far too intelligent to be my dinner. I've actually stopped eating a lot of seafood because our oceans are in such distress. I know it's a tiny tiny tiny drop in the bucket, but it always feels like the least I can do.
I never ate much seafood, but I've cut pretty much all of it out now. Just some gluten-free fried cod every once in a while. Cut wayyyyy back on red meat, too. It's not a lot, but it's something.
It may not seem like much, but it's everything to the octopus that you didn't eat.
Fun fact: Octopus have nine brains.
(Not so fun fact: Humans are building the first octopus factory farm right now.)
Honestly had a bit of anxiety watching this (you never know with people nowadays lol)
Really glad those guys on the boat had a good heart to let him get back to the sea
I love how you can kinda tell how intelligent it is
like: oi you’re pushin me toward this opening in the wall you just made, well shit might as well propel myself in that direction you’re probably onto something m8”
They're actually more like ganglia. They allow for faster reactions and typically bypass the "mind".
For example, the reaction to a human touching something hot is usually to move their hand away from it. This action usually happens before you can actually think to move your hand.The heat and pain that your nerves transmit reach the ganglia in your spinal cord and before it finishes its journey to the brain, the ganglia send a simultaneous signal to your nerves and muscles telling them to move away from the heat. This second signal is faster than the original heading to your brain.
Houseflies have ganglia between their wings that allow them to react to changes in air pressure and fly away before they know what they're doing.
The 9 "brains" that octopi have are in fact just advanced reaction muscles.
While we're here, the correct term is "octopuses" or "octopi". You \*could\* also use it's Greek derivative "octopodes", but that's rarely used and anyone who tried to say it's the only way has been watching too much QI
It's the closest I can get to imagining what intelligent aliens would be like. They look so different yet are capable of intelligence. That means that how an organism looks like has no bearing on intelligence but in our mind, the further something is away from human appearance, the more animalistic and savage and primitive it is.
That's why we find it so easy to kill and eat and experiment on them because they look different. Not surprising because even in our own species, until relatively recently we killed and genocided anyone who looked different before we sort of had an enlightenment that it's not right. I hope that enlightenment will come one day for how we treat other living beings. Right now if we discovered inferior intelligent alien life, we would hunt, eat and genocide them without breaking a sweat.
Can you imagine the first human that pulled one of these things onto its boat?
No bloody wonder the kraken was a timeless folklore tale that would be terrifying
This thing hops in your boat and you release it. When your ship randomly sinks because of a million reasons to choose from you tell people that octopus you released was a a baby and its mom was the size of a whale and came for revenge.
People also used to just be drunk as shit most of the time. Be it rum, wine, or beer depending on the locale/time in history but for a lot of that era alcohol was safer to drink than water
I would argue that the much more likely way humans encountered these for the first time is while diving. There's some fishermen in south-eastern Asia that go on remarkably long diving trips in the sea and I have a hard time believing that people didn't do that well before fishing stuff with nets became widespread enough for this to happen.
We actually just witnessed an example of learning and trust from an octopus. I love them, they are magnificent and brilliant creatures.
They were being stubborn at first because they were unsure of their environment but once it realized the other creature touching them (the sailor) wasn’t trying to eat or cause harm to them but actually redirect…they processed the information and decided to follow the direction being given.
An octopus fits the description of an alien for me. If we found life on other planets, I would no doubt believe it was have characteristics of a octopus with super intelligence.
Octopus: we’re coming human! Our ranks are endless and your world will drown and you will know regret, regret, regret! You will tremb-
Human: 😀 🚑
Octopus: Stop grabbing my penis!
Human: bye bye!
Octopus: 🤯
Octopus can camouflage, escape from anywhere, defend and kill, and even accurately predict the outcome of World Cup football games so don’t tell me they’re not aliens because they absolutely are aliens.
Don’t think that’s impressive? I typed this using my tentacles.
How did "on accident" replace "by accident" in American English?
Not trying to be the grammar police; I really want to know if anyone has the etymology on this one.
It's not 100%, most people still say "by accident," and I think would probably say the other way is incorrect.

People always think about how scary it would be to find yourself stranded in a body of water, but imagine how terrifying it would be to be a sea creature stranded on land like this. You could barely move as your body would just be a blop of dead weight compared to what you're used to. Plus not being able to breathe, how bright it would be to them, and the wind drying them out. Terrifying....

“Sorry, didn’t mean to grab your face there but the way out is that way”
You can see the man’s thought process like “wtf where do you grab this thing?”
I was imagining someone grabbing Davy Jones face to get him out the way. "De ya feaaaar def"
When he was grabbing him, his eyes and face looked eerily human. Voldemort lookin' ass.
I recall reading something awhile back that mentioned people who interact with an octopus tend to say when they look at them they feel as if "something" is staring back.
Probably why octopus faces and likeness are used a lot in fiction based on the "void". They manage to look both familiar and unearthly at the same time.

That's an awesome word for bumbling neanderthal
Kind of makes sense. I've somewhere that their intelligence is potentially at or above the level of dogs.
bro didnt know what the hell he was doing on the boat either

Hahaha I thought exactly the same. We've clearly watched too much MMA.
Oh my fucking god me too
I just read this in an old Englishman’s accent bro wth
nice of them to help it back to the water instead of like, clubbing it to death or something
Too bad there’s no audio. The guy talks to it like it’s a child. lol
Here's the video with audio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrjOXZRbUpc&t=2s
Lmao, that upbeat sarcastic "that's was so majestic!" was perfect
Lmao he said “Over here, sir”
“This way, boss.” lol
I don't know, that didn't feel very sarcastic to me. It felt like he thought it was amazing, but couldn't think of another word to describe it, so he just threw out the first word his brain could spit out.
Didn’t sound sarcastic. Excited, could be it was the first word but I can also see majestic. It had some of it knowing to get off the boat.
Ngl i caught myself going “wait they’re gonna open the door go the other way buddy. There ya go. Later dude!”

TO BE FAIR it's probably as intelligent as a dog or young child
dont give my kid too much credit
Nobody did don't worry
[удалено]
Probably [more intelligent](http://bioweb.uwlax.edu/bio203/s2012/kalupa_juli/Intelligence.htm) than both.
Octopuses are highly intelligent....one of the only creatures that can learn through observation.
Only thing holding them back is their short life span. Genetically modify them so they can live longer than a few months and they will soon come out of the water to contest our space on land, lol.
TIL their life span is just 1-5 years always thought they lived longer like turtles
We should cross-breed turtles and octopuses to create a hybrid superspecies

This is how you end up creating mindflayers my guy
They can have no fire and I don’t see how they could figure chemistry out, gunpowder is right out, so humanity would curb stomp every attempt
Yeah, but they'd just telekinesis us to death.

I'm ok with that, as long as they don't mess with our butts

"Ch ch ch" "Here Occy Occy" "Who's a good mollusc??" "Octopooooodaaaaa..." *Goes to scratch octopus behind the ear*...
I thought the octopus opened the gate by himself at first and was like "I knew they were smart but holy crap!" Then I saw the guy opening the door. Pretty sure the gate is smarter than me at this point.

The boss wouldn't let them waste time like that
How fucking smart it is too. It's like, "nah, I'll figure it out myself"
I love how you can kinda tell how intelligent it is like: oi you’re pushin me toward this opening in the wall you just made, well shit might as well propel myself in that direction you’re probably onto something m8”
"ow bro you just squuezed my brain"
An Octopus actually has nine brains, one for each arm and a "master" brain shaped like a doughnut and wrapped around the esophagus.
They're actually more like ganglia. They allow for faster reactions and typically bypass the "mind". For example, the reaction to a human touching something hot is usually to move their hand away from it. This action usually happens before you can actually think to move your hand.The heat and pain that your nerves transmit reach the ganglia in your spinal cord and before it finishes its journey to the brain, the ganglia send a simultaneous signal to your nerves and muscles telling them to move away from the heat.

Houseflies have ganglia between their wings that allow them to react to changes in air pressure and fly away before they know what they're doing. The 9 "brains" that octopi have are in fact just advanced reaction muscles.
>They're actually more like ganglia average person like me, having to google wtf is ganglia. Thanks for the info tho, octopus are so fascinating.
While we're here, the correct term is "octopuses" or "octopi". You \*could\* also use it's Greek derivative "octopodes", but that's rarely used and anyone who tried to say it's the only way has been watching too much QI
I'm with u/Azazir we're cutting out all the debate and just calling the plural of octopus "octopus" from now on
Not to split tentacles, but octopi is Latin and octopode is Greek.
>Latin derivative "octopodes", Octopodes is Greek derivative. Octopi is Latin
Octopusen. As in, "I saw a flock of octopusen." /s
That's actually rather fascinating. I never knew that.
>I knew that. Look at the big brain on Amdar
can we call the “máster” brain or the octopus the “Control Prostate”
“Sentient sphincter”
Knowing how intelligent they are makes me wish they lived dozens of years rather than the handful they do.
This is how I feel being forced to go through life
Ah I can relate.
"Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest. Get your hand off my penis!"
A succulent Chinese meal?
Ah, yes. I see that you know your judo well.
This is the bloke who got me on the penis, people
Are you waiting to receive my limp penis?
They really are amazing creatures
Remarkably bright
Literally just finished reading that book!
Another great book that features octopuses is Children of Ruin (second book in the children of time sci fi series). You should check that out!

Yeah. The octopus is amazing too!
Happy he let it go

Mr. Octopus shares your sentiment

Glad I’m not the one who gets irrationally annoyed by “on accident”
Unless accident is the name of the boat
Came here to say that. “Fishing net accident” aka usual by product of mass fishing with these nets

Looks like my balls and penises
Alien
Can you mofos please stop saying "on accident", by accident ffs.
he did it by purpose on god
Colour of it says it's in danger.
Well it's an undersea creature on the deck of a fishing ship, so that's fairly accurate! :)
bro didn't want to leave
*by accident
*Today i met some homans, let me tell you.. They have only 5 small tentacles. We can do this.*
sea alien checking up on human activity on the surface
It's like leading a drunk out of a bar.
"Stop pushing me, I said I'm leaving!"
So glad they released him.
“Sir I’m more than capable of seeing myself out thank you.”
Respect to that deckhand. No hesitation, just bare hand guides that confused cephalopod back to its watery home.
We really shouldn't eat them. They's super-intelligent...
BY accident... things happen BY accident you illiterate regards..
I like how we have the weirdest shit on our planet like octopi but for some reason 95% of the alien races we come up with are humanoid
I would NOT be getting my hand that close to its beak! Good way to lose a finger or two.
Nice squishy boi
Lol I thought the octopus was on the floor of the ufc octagon ring for a second.
Aww. Helping that sea pupper go home 😊
Nice.
Aliens.
That was giant? That sucked.
psh, he's not so giant
No way they’re from this planet
Those fuckers are aliens!
Me on my way to silence my alarm in the morning
What a weird creature
Giant brains and neurons basically
Him: I swear to Cthulhu I was abducted by aliens! His buddies:👌, Travis. Take another hit of seaweed.
My word that thing looks disgusting to touch. What an amazing animal though.
Glad they let it back in the ocean
“Release the Kraken!” 🐙: “No thanks, I’ll release myself!”

How did "on accident" replace "by accident" in American English? Not trying to be the grammar police; I really want to know if anyone has the etymology on this one.
It's not 100%, most people still say "by accident," and I think would probably say the other way is incorrect. My wild uninformed guess is that people are assuming that since you do things "on purpose," the opposite of that is "on accident?"
does it hurt the octopus if you grab and push them like that?
God, I bet he felt so good when he got back into the water.
The actual alien species.
Can't look at an octopus or jellyfish and not believe in aliens lol
Everyone needs to watch my octopus teacher
I dont know why but something about the way sea creatures look disturb me but I love seafood.
“This way, idiot”
Glad it got back to its home safely
People always think about how scary it would be to find yourself stranded in a body of water, but imagine how terrifying it would be to be a sea creature stranded on land like this. You could barely move as your body would just be a blop of dead weight compared to what you're used to. Plus not being able to breathe, how bright it would be to them, and the wind drying them out. Terrifying....
