The world is terrible, please enjoy these memes from my various marine biology enthusiast Discord servers

Nobody will remember:
Your salary
How "busy" you were
How many hours you worked
How many Gucci bags you owned
People will remember:
How much you loved octopuses
The amount of octopus facts you knew
If you ever saw any octopuses
If you shared how cool octopuses are

In celebration of World Octopus Day, we wanted to revisit one of our favorite cephalopod sightings, the glass octopus — Vitreledonella richardi filmed during a month-long #PhoenixIslandsCoral expedition in 2021.

I was backup octopus mom at work so I got to help bucket train Spaghetti the octopus, which is an important trained behaviour for a lot of useful and important reasons, as well as for the reason of it being the cUTEST THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN

MA-8 did you know that whales have the biggest penis of any living animal at ~10 feet long and ~12 inches in diameter? They tend to be long and thin and are concealed in a genital slit.

Now do you wanna guess who’s in second place for biggest penis? (gestures to self) 😏
