MY FAVORITE POST EVER

Your daughters do not exist to give you grandchildren

Linguistics: Despite the name, please probably don’t.

Engineering: Maybe, but it’ll probably taste like spreadsheets 

Software engineering: nothing else has made the code work so you might as well try it

Neuroscience: that is someone’s brain. no. do not

Marine biology: you can try, but you’ll probably just get a mouthful of seawater

Astronomy: look, if your dedication to lick Uranus is what it takes get humankind to another planet, then so be it

Octopus changes colour outside the water

It looks like it’s dying

OH GOD. THAT’S SO FUCKING SCARY.

We literally have a shape shifting animal with the best camouflage mechanism in nature and nobody thinks that’s the coolest shit like what the fuck we could learn so much from it’s biology everyone needs to get outta my face cause this creature is metal as fuck

There’s one better than this. It’s the cuttlefish. (I watch a lot of animal documentaries, okay?)

No but you have to post a gif of the cuttlefish now. Animal shows are the best shows because nature

the ninjas of the sea

what the fuck is happening underwater to create these fucking things

Octopuses are the shit

I love the ocean.

Cuttlefish and octopuses are badass.  They’re incredibly intelligent and emotional creatures. I highly, HIGHLY recommend reading Sy Montgomery’s The Soul of an Octopus (a National Book Award Finalist BTW).  It is an astounding read, a look into the people who work with and study octopuses along with the emotional behavior of these amazing animals.

I love Cephalopods. They’ve helped us redefine a lot of our cognitive boundaries, and are the exception to the rules on researching invertebrates! They have special rules to separate them from clams and fruit flies and all those other animals without backbones, because even though cephalopods don’t have spines, and we are genetically closer to goldfish than we are to them, cephalopods have sophisticated intelligence and emotions and we respect that.

Hell yeah

I’m not crying

don’t worry, you’re still in the “early life” part of your wikipedia page

I have a 0% chance of getting my USB plugged in on the first try, and only a 50% chance on the second attempt.
