Imagine the crab's dread being lowered slowly to that tentacled monster bit by bit and being unable to do anything about it.

And the soundtrack to its doom is just 5 poorly-timed notes. What a way to go!

I really hate when people loop their videos like that. It strikes me as a disingenuous way to garner more views by tricking people into thinking there is more to the video.

Sure, but also at least it's actual content.

Oh lawd with enough training Tako can join Sebastian's symphony and play for King Triton's palace.

And money to boot, keeping an octopuses a pet is not a cheap hobby.

He got his piano youtube money going. He has made so many click bait pianos out of cheap marketplace ones. He's also made the rotating guitar neck thing.

Don't be sad about it! They simply ate another octopus.

Well... I hate to break it to you... but most domesticated farm animals are smarter than you think. Cows can act like bog dogs. Pigs can be very smart, even learning to play joystick controlled video games. Chickens can... did I tell you about pigs?

An arachnofobic friend of mine used her chicken whenever she saw a spider. Chicken goes chomp, bye bye fear. Doesn't have anything to do with intelligence, but it was a useful chicken.

So you've heard of Mike the Headless Chicken, then?

1 month ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

When you cut the head off a chicken, sometimes it will run around before dying (usually, Mike). So common that "Running around like a chicken with your head cut off" is an immortal saying.

We eat octopuses already. Octopuses are intelligent. Therefore, we should eat other creatures that are as smart as octopuses.

If you go down the slide of that logic, you wouldn't eat any animal anymore

If you're gonna use intelligence as the standard for determining which animals can be eaten; then it seems that Long Pig is back on the menu!

Please cook long pork thoroughly. Avoid organ meat, especially the brain , that's the dangerous part

Cows too, also that we domesticated them so easily because cows (and their ancestors) find us physically attractive and enjoy spending time with us.

We eventually need to stop eating most animals and replace our slaughtered meat with vat grown meat; same thing but never had a nervous system or needed to be killed for food. Billions of cattle for food would be either millions of pets or on reservations in the hundreds of thousands if we go that route, so it would bring mild demographic collapse.
