    Incredibly tragic that the octopus is so intelligent and so utterly delicious at the same time.

      I tried slow-cooking an octopus when one showed up at the seafood counter at my local grocery store and it was fantastic. Prior to that, I’d always considered them rubbery. Now I’d get more if I could find them, but they aren’t normally available.

        I always had my mom make me octopus salad but I actually like it chewy because that’s how she made it.

    Octopii are super intelligent. They’ve been known to escape captivity.

      That shit is mundane to them. An octopus’ real kink is straight up missionary style.
