9 brains 3 hearts and connected to the perfect self. What a beast.
octopuses genuinely feel like aliens living in the ocean
Why am I watching this at 3AM
HOW CAN SOMEONE EAT THIS INTELLIGENCE CREATURE BROO
Now imagine there's dumb idiots eating them
all octopuses are the same, they all think with their arms
16:52 is a strikingly good image 😮😮
The octopus has nine brains not really sure if it ever makes a mistake compared to a human where we make mistakes all the time
The fact that complex intelligence evolved twice on earth in entirely different settings makes me more optimistic that intelligent life may evolve on other planets as well.
16:40 of this video is so true. The struggles and tough situation of survival had to put pressure on the octopus 🐙 in order to survive. So, it had to learn the hard way because of its fragile body. It had to learn how to hide and evade detection. Octopus are so amazing. I can not believe how amazingly they can mimic their surroundings. I also noticed that my own struggle is pressuring me to learn new things as well.
this is just insane. thanks for all these infos
They literally left their mortal shells to achieve enlightenment
It is absolutely insane how they can change color
Intelligence is not only trieggered by groups but by need of survival.
If you’ve been wondering why you’re not feeling as strong, motivated, or sharp as you used to, Testosterone Rewired by David Brooks might just have the answers. The book focuses on the power of testosterone and how increasing it can seriously transform your health and mindset. If you’re tired of feeling drained or out of balance, this book offers some solid advice on how to get back to your peak
They’re 100% alien. That skin is like….highly advanced technology.
Cool, now I will wake my mom up at 2 am to tell her what I've learn
So we should stop eating them.
Well... one could argue the Octopus is a social animal since it has to navigate all 8 of its legs that each individually have their own minor free-will. Basically, from the Octopuses perspective, it might be like have 8 dogs on leashes that it is trying to keep together haha.
I would never eat one.. although I’ve been offered
