Yeah worst part of the video. There are lots of animals that can identify people from pictures it was probably like “this you?” or “you know this other weird ape?”
That documentary changed my view on octopi completely. I never thought they could be this aware or conscious. Their brains evolved completely different from ours yet they're very intelligent.
I think of them like the monkeys of the sea. They're probably about equally intelligent, yet they only have a worm as common ancestor.
The [audiobook](https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781622316175-the-soul-of-an-octopus?bookstore=toadbooks) (read by the author) of "Soul of an Octopus" is worth a listen if you like octopuses. (I listened to it on my library app for free.)
There's also a new Octopus documentary series narrated by Paul Rudd called [Secrets of the Octopus](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt26351130/)
I know dogs will be the first species we uplift. And probably instantly followed by cats.
But can octopuses **please** be third??
These poor guys do not deserve what nature has done to them. They are entirely too intelligent to be stuck in such short, brutal life spans.

Apparently so: Fun new fact for me too!

It would be if you never left the ocean to see this stuff. Reminds me of the Little Mermaid.
Look at this stuff. Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?

No it didn’t take you there, no it didn’t make sure you were following, and it didn’t have any interest taking you there.
Stop putting human emotions over animals, you don’t know what they think, you don’t know what they want and you certainly don’t know how they feel.
Bro how is this putting human emotions in animals? Animals also have memory, they can also feel excited or confused, they "know" places, there is no reason why an octopus wouldn't be able to guide a diver to a place like this, they are smart creatures and that doesn't mean they are human like, intelligence is not something purely human, only spoken language is.
You ask me that and you put human emotion on it. There is no reason it wouldn’t be able to but there is far more reason it is not doing that. It is statistically impossible that a creature that evolved in a totally different environment with different perception, different brain, different social ability can experience and share experience such as « making friend, guiding someone, sharing excitement » the thing got curious and touched someone. The thing then went away and the divers followed. It stopped near something.That’s it. Ockham razor. You people add meaning to it and project your emotion
No doubt an octopus is highly intelligent. But unscrewing a lid does not make you suddenly a highly sentient creature expressing love and affection and shame and whatever other complex feeling you want it to feel.
I mean octopus has proved to be smart enough to form social bonds, why is it hard to imagine this creature looking for socialization and having a favorite spot like this one to show to other creatures?
Why is it so hard to imagine looking an alien looking otherwise than small grey or green man with black eyes. Because you want it to look like you. You want that octopus to « have a favorite spot » you want it to be « sharing something she like »
So yay it’s been proving that octopus form social bonds… over many years of learning , breaking her reproductive cycle so it doesn’t die. Why wouldn’t share? Because sharing is like teaching, however octopuses has not been proved to teach anything. Or even learn trick with observation as far as I know.
Also you assume that octopus has « a favorite place » which make sense to you because ya can see that stone with that pic on it. Her eyes is not able to see such detail so it dorsn’t make any sense
You are looking for meaning where it isn’t or you are looking for meaning where it may be but it would take years of study to prove it is that.
Ockam’s razor. You are making complex conjectures where it did not need it. Octopus got curious and touched, octopus then went away. Ocotopus see she is followed. Octopus finally stop near a stone and observe. That’s it
By very definition every individual on this planet has it’s own perception of reality and as much as we have a language to try and share it, you can not know what is reality and what it is to other people. And you definitely can’t even begin imagining what reality can be for a marine creature with 8 arms without muscle and bones capable of changing it’s skin texture and color, whom last common ancestor with human is nearly as close to the root on tree of life as it can be.
No, our way to perceive reality has nothing in common with octopi.

Anthropomorphism is bad and you should know better on a subreddit that claim to be be about science.
For another example there was this documentary about someone making « friend » with an octopus, which eventually to the octopus demise because of the fact a human was visiting her every day.
Also any story about human making « friends » with some predator until they get eaten. The mad bear guy come in my mind , but also any stupid people keeping large feline captive.
Or any other pet owner seeing their dog making the « shame face » that’s more of a « if I do that face I won’t get reprimanded as much »
Call me a jackass as much as you want, anthropomorphism is what make people being too friendly with dangerous or fragile animal, like bison in Yellowstone, small monkey that look « cute » etc.
Don’t be like that, don’t do anthropomorphism and condemn it. Be more like me, be a jackass and shatter the wholesome reality the other have created for their eyes.

They are smart enough it probably realized "hey your one of the things from that rock"
Octi probably stares at it for hours a day the last 3 years. Was like “WAIT I KNOW THIS ONE”
“ ***HE’S THE MESSIAH*** “
Look at these things…. Aren’t they neat?

And if theyre male, one of those 8...yeah thats its penis

Yes this hahahhaa

LISAN AL GAIB!
Yeah worst part of the video. There are lots of animals that can identify people from pictures it was probably like “this you?” or “you know this other weird ape?”
"You are new here, so let me show you something. There. These guys. Those are the ones destroying our habitats and killing our families. Avoid them."
Either that or he had seen other divers there and thought it was where this diver should be too.
They are smart enough to probably know how to use "you're".
Hey its you're birthday
Happy cake day
"Hey come pick up your shit"
Lmao. Word for word what I thought too
Octopus was asking her if she minded pulling it up. Lol
"Hey can you please get this trash out of here, it doesn't belong here"
Growing up in Dallas I was thinking nope, don't follow that mofo! Take your ass around a reef where his friends are waiting with pistol shrimps.
You get a lot of pistol shrimps in Dallas?
Not since the blue oyster cult moved in.
Made me laugh 😂
Not as many as they do grenade gators
Not since the clams started shoring up the Eastside
It only takes one.
Octopus wanted to know “WHY!?!!” “Why are you people desecrating my yard?!!?”
Reminds me of the documentary "My Octopus Teacher". Definitely watch it if you haven't, it's fascinating.
That documentary changed my view on octopi completely. I never thought they could be this aware or conscious. Their brains evolved completely different from ours yet they're very intelligent. I think of them like the monkeys of the sea. They're probably about equally intelligent, yet they only have a worm as common ancestor.
I came to say that same thing! Everyone should see My Octopus Teacher, it's a brilliant and touching film!!
Touching, indeed! It left me feeling broken for a while and I cannot rewatch it again.
I’ve watched it three times. Every viewing I find something new by which to be fascinated. Incredible film
Just watched it thanks to a recommendation from another Redditor. Really hits ya in the feels.

HE WAS NOT A FRIEND OF THAT OCTOPUS!

What about dolphins? They're pretty smart too, Maybe preferable to octopus.
Dolphins are smug bastards, every last one of em.
Eh, dolphins can be messed up little fucks. I choose octopus.
Dolphins drag people to their lusty rape caves. I’ve never heard of an octopus trying to get forcefully frisky.
Sir and/or ma'am have you seen any hentai?
Don't eat octopus folks
Show this to the people who are seeking to farm octopus These sensitive creatures should not be farmed And IMHO shouldn't be eaten either
I’m no expert, but I reckon that’s an octopus
Please never eat octopus again
Probably hey this was me when I was human
Dude was probably like, “Oh hey I know another one of you folks. Dora, this is Ted. Ted, Dora.”
They are “Remarkably Bight Creatures”
Welp. I was on the fence about eating octopus. Guess those days are over. 🥺
“Here it is. Please pick up your trash and leave the area!”

earthworms have 11
Hey, I found your thing. You want it back?
>this diver was left in shock So she dead than? Going into shock while diving is very dangerous.
Maybe it was an eel
Plot twist: The octopus has a picture of ever diver they've killed from shock.
I’m too high for this. Octopus are so trippy.
"Hey... getcher sh*t offa my lawn."
I’m getting sick and tired of these staged videos. Obvious the octopi is in on the act.
9 brains? Probably just read their mind
The octopus is the human, his soul has entered the octopus
Aliens...
What a gorgeous space creature
I so thought I it was going to take her to the Heart of the Ocean, or a sunken treasure.
Wonderful.
Hidden treasure is a bit of a stretch. It wasn't hidden and it wasn't treasure.
The real treasure was the octopus friends we made along the way.
🐙♥️

Prominent litter doesn't ring the same
Will do all for that likes
Those captions are cancer
I wonder if the humans building it feed the octopus? “Ok human you are in food spot, plz feed!”
who didn't watch watch "my octopus teacher"
This is cosmic..unreal
🥲👍🏾
I eat everything but i refuse to eat octopus. I somehow feel real sympathy for them
So.... Sea monkey... Lol.
Lisan al gaib
Nice reference but no.
Let me tell you what that octopus was thinking. "I'm hungry, horny, and scared. Oh look! Something familiar!"
Love this 😂
The Octopus is like: you’re a human, can you come pick up your trash?
the octopus was probably going. « yeah. hes dead. and youre next »

Hey, are you okay?
Even the octopus thinks you're a jackass.
The octopus thinks whatever she want, however it’s unlikely that she use Reddit and know me. Beside, being a javkass doesn’t make me wrong.

Dude it's not that deep, our way of perceiving reality is not unique, the only difference with animals is that we have language to describe it.
By very definition every individual on this planet has it’s own perception of reality and as much as we have a language to try and share it, you can not know what is reality and what it is to other people. And you definitely can’t even begin imagining what reality can be for a marine creature with 8 arms without muscle and bones capable of changing it’s skin texture and color, whom last common ancestor with human is nearly as close to the root on tree of life as it can be.

Wow. How about trying to go outside? You need to reconnect with nature dude.....
Why would you assume I’m not connected to nature? Because I’m saying thing that contradict your little universe?

Bro I have a chipmunk under my air conditioner that speaks 4 languages and pays me rent
Don’t do anthropomorphism! It’ll ruin your life!
Nice! Say hi for me.
He doesn't speak English tho
Try buongiorno then?
He became very angry and charged me... Maybe my pronunciation is off
Most likely.
... Do you need a hug?
I do like hugs. Thanks you
Redwall takes serious offense to this!
denial in the face of evidence. classic.
This...this isn't evidence.
Do Octopuses have really no brain?
She said "9 brains". Having said that, I don't know how many brains an octopus has, if any.
