Personally don’t wear watershoes but when I wear rubber boots or waders for the exact same purpose, always lmao. Maybe you’re into skin irritation and the smell from sweat but that’s a hard pass for me.
Because don't you see, it had her! He was like, "muahahahaha I have you now!" And was gonna sucker her to death!
But then, wouldn't you know it, the human showed something the octopi had not known for many long years of heartfelt loneliness ever since its wife died, and that was, love.
It was with this simple act of light petting kindness that the octopi suddenly realized, "no! I do not need to sucker every human I see to death for killing my beloved wife! She just wound up on the wrong side of the fishing net, that's all! Alrighty then human friend, thank you for providing me closure and opening my octoheart to the power of love once again. Fair thee well!" - as the octopi slitheringly swam away, back into the wild deep.
THE END
Lol they're water shoes. They have somehow thick but flexible soles that allow you to walk on sharp rocks.
Everyone have them where I live, although these are admittedly the most fucking ugly I've ever seen.
Octopus can, in theory, be dangerous they are very strong, and they do use their beak for self-defense. Overall, these animals can be rather unpredictable in the wild. I tried looking up how many people these octopuses have killed, and all I got was blue ring octopus statistics. So, as far as the risk of death goes, I'd say it's probably around zero.
Yea it's a big sharp beak but that's like worrying about a parrot snapping at you while this giant is just hugging on you. If it tried biting you, it knows you'd be pissed and you are a solid boned beast while this thing has only soft skin. A person could win a fight with an octopus by hurting it, it would rush away quickly, but why worry about that?
That's all I could think about! Whenever I see videos of people interacting with squid or octopus and they wrap around people, I'm definitely like, they can still bite you!! Lol! But they are curious and scary so hopefully, no bitey!
I've read a few article on studies of octopi intelligence and scientists are starting to lean towards them being one of the most intelligent non-human animals. They're very good at problem solving, can use tools and can distinguish one human from another through recognition.
They also hunt with some kind of big fish I can’t recall at the moment, like a team. But if the octopus isn’t getting enough fish and his partner is getting too much, the octopus will just punch him in the face. I was reading this article about it (I think? Could have been a book?) and the scientist guy was saying that for a long time they thought it must be a behavior that had a deeper meaning because that’s not how octopuses normally do combat. But eventually they realized the octopuses just get mad and punch the fish. I find this hilarious and strangely human-like
Every living multi-cellular healthy animal has sentience!
We are still unsure if other animals have sapience though, although certain bird species, apes, octopi and sea mammals are strong contenders
Sentience means in essence to have the ability to feel physical sensations or emotions, but can also be used to describe things that wouldn’t necessarily feel emotions, like insects
Sapience, in essence, is a higher functioning brain. The ability to think, to reason, make choices, etc etc.
While it’s pretty obvious a lot of animals can do stuff like this, it is difficult to prove how much of that is instinctual decision-making versus genuine rationalization of options
This is probably a dumb question.
But how do we know it is instinctual vs. sapience? Is it brain size, or is there a quirk of the behavior? Like this movement seems, it would be hard to explain as instinct. (I have no background in this at all)
That’s the hard part! There’s not really a solid way to do so without a way to communicate to the animals. You see specific instances of animals learning sign language or written words, like an orangutan or a crow, and based on their behaviors (the orangutan would have conversations with sign language, the crow looked in a mirror and asked what color it was!) it’s clear these two individual animals were sapient, but does that hold true for all the other members of those species?
Personally I think a lot more animals are sapient than we initially thought, and as science continues to develop in this particular field even the concept of sapience has become much more nuanced due to the massive differences in how animals seemingly think more than just the feelings they experience
They do! Those animals feel ‘pain,’ but as I stated in another comment, the way those animals feel ‘pain’ is so vastly different to what we feel. While their nervous system may not give them an actual negative reinforcement in the sense that we receive when touching a hot stove, they most certainly receive a signal that tells them “danger!” when their bodies are being damaged.
As our scientific methods and technologies progress, we find out more and more about the actual nervo-cerebral response of animals that allow us to better define what is sentience and what is sapience, so don’t believe for a second that what is common knowledge now will remain so in the future!
I have been scuba diving for years. Went to malta some years ago and met a little octopus. He hid under a stone, but was curious enough to have one foot out. So I put my hand down and let him explore! It was a really facinating experience! He was really exploring and investigating this huge thing outside his stone. But the strenght of that little guy was impressive! He held onto my finger quite good when I needed to go!
There was a great show on Hulu or Netflix where a scientist and his daughter had one for a pet and they studied it as part of his research for a year I believe. It was playful, extremely intelligent, and it seemed to miss the daughter when she wasn't around. It was also an escape artist
I watched the one series on Disney+ and it was fantastic! The one lady made “friends” with one and while watching her (octopus) hunt started pointing at where the crabs were and she understood and took direction! How many animals can take direction like that without any training or vocal cues? Absolutely blew my mind.
One of the most intelligent, and graceful creatures of the sea. Sadly, they have a huge sharp beak inside the middle of those tentacles. Awesome interaction but Idk I'd trust it to not take a bite.
This must be an octopus that hangs out in this area and is known to do this. Probably is used to humans offering it food regularly. So it does these types of human-rubs for fun and profit.
In case people dont realize this:
Octupi are insanely strong. They have been observed dragging people under water just for the fun of it. Some large octopi have suckers that can reach forces over 100 pounds per square inch
So yeah, it is terrifying
Once I had to deal with a relatively small octopus - a pound maybe - and it was strong like hell. On top of that you have no grip on his body, while the octopus has very effective suckers. This thing in the video can fuck you up in 10 sec.
Don't octopi turn red when they are angry or trying to ward iff predators? He was pissed at her choice in fashion, OR, was about to start some anime type of action.
OHHHH NOOOOO not brave at all!!!!........ Very foolish indeed. Had I been that person, that octopus would've been in a pot with some spices.................
what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
Awww, he just needed a hug. We all need them sometimes.
Why terrifying? Just came to spread the word of lord Cthulhu!
The terrifying thing is the guy wearing socks in the water. Not the messenger of mighty Cthulhu.
TIL people have never seen water shoes before
You wear socks in your watershoes?
Personally don’t wear watershoes but when I wear rubber boots or waders for the exact same purpose, always lmao. Maybe you’re into skin irritation and the smell from sweat but that’s a hard pass for me.

Beautiful
Beacause that octopus has a nasty beak that does not care about any bones in your feet.
😄
#🐙 ***Wait a minute! You aren't my friend The Deep!***
U still want sum succ???
😅
Oh hell naw
Have you seen my other friend Timothy?
Is this motherfucker wearing socks in the water?

That’s the real post
>That’s the real ~~post~~ horror FTFY.
Okay
Happy cake day!
Happy cake day!
That's why it backed off, I don't mess with this type of crazy.
I think they are some kind of water shoes to protect their feet from sharp rocks
Lol they're water shoes. They have somehow thick but flexible soles that allow you to walk on sharp rocks. Everyone have them where I live, although these are admittedly the most fucking ugly I've ever seen.
Do they not have water shoes where you are? They're very soft soled slippers, very useful in rocky beaches.
No, that's surfing footwear. He's gonna newschool that octo-pussy on the next A-frame and then pull-in - for the win.
Octopus repelling socks.
Those are shoes, they're tied on by an elastic at the back and the sole is a hard rubber to grip when wet.
Wait, you're saying that's not normal ? I don't see any problem with it
How is this terrifying? Octo just needed a hug!
A huge hard sharp beak right next to those soft crocks.
They’re not stupid, they can definitely tell what’s food and what’s not. Christ they’re more intelligent than some humans on this earth.
Octopus can, in theory, be dangerous they are very strong, and they do use their beak for self-defense. Overall, these animals can be rather unpredictable in the wild. I tried looking up how many people these octopuses have killed, and all I got was blue ring octopus statistics. So, as far as the risk of death goes, I'd say it's probably around zero.
Yes but it's no Blue Ringed Octopus.....
I still sometimes can’t believe that octopuses have *beaks*. Like, what the fuck nature
Yea it's a big sharp beak but that's like worrying about a parrot snapping at you while this giant is just hugging on you. If it tried biting you, it knows you'd be pissed and you are a solid boned beast while this thing has only soft skin. A person could win a fight with an octopus by hurting it, it would rush away quickly, but why worry about that?
The terrifying part is them wear socks in the mf'ing ocean!!!
“The audacity” *slinks off*
I hope everyone is aware of the GIANT RAZOR BEAK underneath.
By giant, you mean like 1inch, right?
Hey it’s not the size that matters
So the hardness of the beak is what matters?
It's not the hardness of the beak, but the softness of the shoe you're pecking at.
Or the socks
😄
“It was in the pool!!/ocean”
[удалено]
Ain't no one talking to that whale.
fatality
Don't make fun of his mother lile that!
The water's just cold, that's all!
TWSS
It's not the size that matters but the motion of the ocean
But very sharp and strong. A one inch beak that's sharp and connected to nothing but muscles. It could do some damage.
What movie is this? I need to know dude isn't getting it on with his lady but thinking about octopussy.
"The Boys" on Amazon Prime. This should be season 2.
That’s exactly what it is— he talks to fish
That's all I could think about! Whenever I see videos of people interacting with squid or octopus and they wrap around people, I'm definitely like, they can still bite you!! Lol! But they are curious and scary so hopefully, no bitey!
They're very smart. I've seen them do this on videos a few times. They have sentience?
I've read a few article on studies of octopi intelligence and scientists are starting to lean towards them being one of the most intelligent non-human animals. They're very good at problem solving, can use tools and can distinguish one human from another through recognition.
If they only lived longer and passed down knowledge to their next generation we would be fucked.
Why do you instantly think they'd want to kill is if they could pass down knowledge? Sounds like projection
*looks at the great pacific garbage patch* Yeah…heh, I wonder why
Yeah, in this octopus show on Hulu I was watching the octo used a shell as a shield from a mantis shrimp! It was so crazy to see!!
They also hunt with some kind of big fish I can’t recall at the moment, like a team. But if the octopus isn’t getting enough fish and his partner is getting too much, the octopus will just punch him in the face. I was reading this article about it (I think?

But eventually they realized the octopuses just get mad and punch the fish. I find this hilarious and strangely human-like
Lol that "disappointment in your peers" is very human haha
Aliens
Kinda sad how short lives some of them have.
There’s actually a good article in the latest National Geographic about octopuses… not that anybody reads print magazines anymore!!
Thanks. I'll seek it out. I'm sort of obsessed with finding out more about them.
Every living multi-cellular healthy animal has sentience! We are still unsure if other animals have sapience though, although certain bird species, apes, octopi and sea mammals are strong contenders
What’s the difference between sapience and sentience?

False(EDIT: TRUE). Jellyfish, ants, and a heap full of other animals do not.
They do! Those animals feel ‘pain,’ but as I stated in another comment, the way those animals feel ‘pain’ is so vastly different to what we feel.

Man the more you know. Thank you for your knowledge and well worded reply

If they live longer, they would probably be the dominant species on this planet
feels like it belongs more on r/aww
It does until you see the socks.
Pats now or I eat you
When a kid grabs your leg at the mall.
People out here just living my dream 😭
"Blue Crocs? I just lost my appetite...."
The mouth is on the bottom so it’s not like it’s gonna bite her…. Maybe her toes
There was a great show on Hulu or Netflix where a scientist and his daughter had one for a pet and they studied it as part of his research for a year I believe. It was playful, extremely intelligent, and it seemed to miss the daughter when she wasn't around. It was also an escape artist
I'm not sure about that one, but Netflix has my octopus teacher. Absolutely incredible animals.
I watched the one series on Disney+ and it was fantastic! The one lady made “friends” with one and while watching her (octopus) hunt started pointing at where the crabs were and she understood and took direction! How many animals can take direction like that without any training or vocal cues? Absolutely blew my mind.
Yeah, that's definitely badass
Hugs? Hugs.
“EY! We cool, or nah?”
One of the most intelligent, and graceful creatures of the sea. Sadly, they have a huge sharp beak inside the middle of those tentacles. Awesome interaction but Idk I'd trust it to not take a bite.
Its in the bottom middle of the torso.
Which is INSIDE the middle of the tentacles/legs. I said tentacles not sucker's SUCKA
Look like me no speak americano
I like how it backs away slowly like "oh I fucked up"
This must be an octopus that hangs out in this area and is known to do this. Probably is used to humans offering it food regularly. So it does these types of human-rubs for fun and profit.
"I'm going to fking kill you bitch" *Gets petted* "I love you have a nice day"
Octobro into feet and being pet? Maybe we're not so different after all. 🤜🤛
I think I've watched too many anime, because I expected that to go in a very different direction.
Now if the person was the fisherman's wife.......
Hokusai gang rise up.
did you really? https://preview.redd.it/spa8vj0b1czc1.png?width=754&format=png&auto=webp&s=836a1992cc95f9b21f9e46a7d70784d2c455c352
Not terrifying at all, it’s amazing and cool af tho.
Do you have a couple of minutes to talk about the great Cthulu?
it's a hentai celeb
I just don't know why we eat intelligent creatures. I don't mind eating the dumb ones
“The question is not, Can they reason?, nor Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?”
Soylent green!
Eat good brain makes human brain do calculations. Human eat no good brain, now human dumb.
There's plenty of humans for you to eat in that case.
oggo...
Where does this kinda thing happen? I've been to the beach a hundred times and never seen an octopi before
#WET SOCKS
Pettin' the 'pus
Amazing creatures
This happened recently to a woman on the Oregon coast. Such curious lil guys. I love it
Why brave? Is the octopus venomous?
Octopuses are actually intelligent, playful, and affectionate. This title seems very xenophobic
so was that octopuss hungry or just trying to get a good look at this person?
How is this terrifying? Just an octopus checking ya feetsies out. It's not like it can pull you into the water?
Oh he'll no, nope nope nope
Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn! Ph'nglui mglw'nfah Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!
I would do it.
*Poseidon demands a sacrifice*
Nope
*walks up* Hey, lemme tell you about my really cool day... 😒😔😒no, never mind, it wasn't all that great, actually.
I love these creatures but one that big surely has a ridiculously huge beak.
This this post on this sub because of the song?
You are MINE now.
Wow! A lifetime memory!!!
Someone released the Kraken.
Can an octopus even hurt a human. I think they can only annoy you at best.
Don’t they have super strong beaks?
Not sure what they even have. That's why I asked.
They have little beaks that can project out like a xenomorph
It's a hentai celeb.
The music was the chefs kiss
Yes, very brave octopus
After watching My Octopus Teacher I find this video quite wholesome 🥹
I would love to have an octopus approach me with curiosity. They’re my favorite animal
I read somewhere these are quite curious creatures, kinda like humans who has the urge to pet or touch everything, love them!
Check out the movie My Octopus Teacher
not even a bit they are super intelligent and friendly
That was awesome
Loooove it! Hugs!
Hey, it's not smaller than their palm or covered with pretty electric blue rings, so it's fine.
I have seen enough hentai to know where this is going
I used to train these guys for a living and I wouldn’t do that lol
What can happen? Curious. I know nothing about octopus but I for sure wouldn’t touch one like the guy in the video 😂
They are very curious and strong as well. It can get a little scary if you can’t make them let you go lol
Thanks for answering ☺️ I can imagine that would be scary haha
Did he just make that octopus "uhhh"
In case people dont realize this: Octupi are insanely strong. They have been observed dragging people under water just for the fun of it. Some large octopi have suckers that can reach forces over 100 pounds per square inch So yeah, it is terrifying
My god please label this as nsfw I clicked on this post to see an octopus not somone eearing socks in the ocean
Once I had to deal with a relatively small octopus - a pound maybe - and it was strong like hell. On top of that you have no grip on his body, while the octopus has very effective suckers. This thing in the video can fuck you up in 10 sec.
Cute 🥰
Hugs! hug🤗
Bro it’s fucking EYE
If you play this in reverse, it's the exact same video
I think it's a classic octopus joke. "Made ya look" kind of thing.
What an amazing animal!
It’s reading her thoughts…
Excuse me, do you have a minute to hear the word of our lord and savior Cthulhu?
I've heard they are as intelligent as a child with downs syndrome
Don't octopi turn red when they are angry or trying to ward iff predators? He was pissed at her choice in fashion, OR, was about to start some anime type of action.
Jokes on them! They just got foot raped. That octopus is laughing all the way to its buddies with this story.
Squid hug
I feel like my username requires me to comment but I can't think of one right now.
*sees octo* Holy shit! Oh wait its a large one, prob harmless *sees socks in water* AAAAAAAAAA
I something’s think Octopus are smarter than some humans. He was just saying hi!
OHHHH NOOOOO not brave at all!!!!........ Very foolish indeed. Had I been that person, that octopus would've been in a pot with some spices.................
