Cuttlefish are mad smart ... and they only live for two years.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 66 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Smart enough to get in and get out before they have to put up with this shit for too long.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 20 points 3 months ago (3 children)

What shit? It's not like they have to work.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

That's racist, are you calling all cephalopods lazy?

Living is work.

Smart enough to get out before they have credit scores.

Cuttlefish motto: I have no hands and I must scream

Gigantic eldritch horror (humans) reaches down and grabs cuttlefish: MMMMM, THIS'LL GO GREAT WITH SAAAUUUCE!

Excellent a cephalopod is qualified to be president.

I'd be surprise if the current president could pass it.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Somewhere else in the news today he's bragging about having passed it. Again. He's so proud. Seriously, like just a couple hours ago.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

A delayed gratification test? Never.

For anyone wondering, this is the marshmallow test they did.

PS: why are there political comments everywhere including on a science post like this ? Please stop, not everything has to be political.

Here is your featherless cephalopod!

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I, for one, welcome our new cephalopod overlords.

Seriously, they can't possibly do worse than our current leadership.

TADPOLES FOR EVERYONE!

How young a child? My cactus could outthink any newborn.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 4 points 3 months ago

Turns out they basically did the marshmallow test. So we're talking toddlers.

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 15 points 3 months ago

Well, human children are fucking stupid. (A community that has no pendant in the fediverse, it seems)
