A Thread Against Octopus Farming: Highly Intelligent And Worth Preserving

Hey y'all. Today we want to talk about Octopuses. Octopuses are ocean creatures that are most famous for having eight arms and bulbous heads. Some other fun facts: They have three hearts and blue blood; they squirt ink to deter predators; and being boneless, they can squeeze into (or out of) tight spaces. They are quite intelligent and have been observed using tools.

We came across this interesting twitter thread that all but convinced us that our days of eating octopus are long gone, this super intelligent species should be preserved! Let's learn more about the reasons behind this movement. Octopuses are pretty much as close as we're going to get to aliens here on planet earth. They are weirdly fascinating!

Just looking at octopuses you might think that this animal is definitely not from planet earth. This super weird but insanely cool species is the closest thing to aliens that most of us will have the chance to come across in our lifetimes.

When we say Octopuses are intelligent, we mean it. 500 million neurons is no joke, friends. Having some trouble filing your taxes? Hit up your local Octopus for some friendly financial advice.
