Most IDM: Octopus Changes Colours While Dreaming

I think we may have a potential "Most IDM 2019" - an octopus was filmed while dreaming changing colours:

Add to the fact I didn't know octopi slept!

So I guess they're all wet dreams?

That was Awesome:)

I bet octopuses dream about using their ink to write the next Great American Novel and one day after the nuclear war, they will. Their reign over Earth will far outlast humans and lead to prolonged intergalactic cultural exchanges leading to breakthrough discoveries in interdimensional orgasmic spiritual orbits, extraterrestrial immigration and transhumanism, as well as nebular plagueflesh, wormhole parasites and radiant mangle waves. Just drink an IPA and chill because nothing matters.

Not if we eat them all first.

It was such a bad tournament.  All the big players got knocked out early. 

Can anyone remember what won (without looking it up!)

For this year, I reckon to be able to vote you should have minimum +50 reputation points.

I member!

Wonderful creatures. We shouldn't eat them. Squid on the other hand, are cunts. 

Cuttlefish > Octopus > Squid

Yeah, with all these articles that come out on how intelligent they are I’m starting to feel really uncomfortable every time I eat one of ‘em. 
 

It’s probably better to start eating babies. Babies are stupid.

I read a really good book on them:

Just stumbled over this article:

You know, you might just be right on that!

It’s dreaming about a life not stuck in a fucking glass cage. Put this in the vegan thread so I can tear you limb from limb.

Obviously we should be giving the octopus eight pens and eight pads of paper so they can do something useful with their thoughts.

How octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish defy genetics' 'central dogma'

I absolutely adore cephalopods.
