Probably the most violent octopus on that beach, but we really can't say if it was the angriest octopus.

In the video of this event the octopus just splashes at the guy for trying to fuck with it.

I'm terrified of the day one actually becomes angry. Life as we know it will cease to exist as our new overlords force us into manual slave labour. Trash and debris, endless debris, being picked up with bare hands. The reminding tickle felt in our guts of the terrifying comfort of a tentacle at the missed soda bottle....

Sorry

"You picked the wrong beach, fool!"

Also didn't know Australian octopus also carry poison. But of course they are.

You've never heard of the blue ringed octopus? Every aussie kid is taught to fear those fuckers from an early age. They will shit up your day real quick. Of all the things that will kill you here they are probably very near the top. Tiny little things too.

Ohh, it's a blue ringged? I have no idea what it looks like tbh.

[–] MCHEVA4EVA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They're tiny not really a lot to look at. You could hold one in your palm.

Read this as “anarchist octopus” and I spewed out my coffee

[–] EffortlessEffluvium@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I learned how to prepare it in The Anarchist’s Cookbook!

Do people really have these type of physical overreactions to something as mundane a reading an article/title?

Did they... did they just live through the default beach episode story ark?
