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

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

A very small octopus that has climbed into a submerged bucket, it is so cute. Just unbelievably cute.

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) 😏

Today on #WorldOctopusDay we celebrate the diversity of these incredible cephalopods. There are around 300 known species of octopus, with more still being discovered. The images below were captured on this year's #SouthSandwichIslands expedition with partners @schmidtocean.bsky.social

No, because those are lame names. There’s no rhythm, no chutzpah.

Give me Zetalpa Primal Dawn and Iphegenia or give me NOTHING

Remember how when I first got into Magic, I’d get the names of random magic cards stuck in my head?

The same is now happening for random Greek names.

Judging by your shirt, it seems like you’re looking for a gal who knows how to plesiosaur a lady. Which I do.

I also know how to spell plesiosaur, so that should get me bonus points.

This project was three years in the making and I couldn't be happier with the result. Custom modified frame, extended artwork to fit inside the modern frame, a hidden 99-count tracker that automatically tracks the tens. And all of it looks seamless, like it was meant to be there.
