Smart enough to get in and get out before they have to put up with this shit for too long.
What shit? It's not like they have to work.
That's racist, are you calling all cephalopods lazy?
Smart enough to get in and get out before they have to put up with this shit for too long.
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!
EDIT: Just found this in the wild:

GIANT SQUID / MURDER OF RAVENS 2028!
I'd be surprise if the current president could pass it.
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.

PS: why are there political comments everywhere including on a science post like this ? Please stop, not everything has to be political.
Behold, a human child!
Here is your featherless cephalopod!
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.
Turns out they basically did the marshmallow test. So we're talking toddlers.
Well, human children are fucking stupid. (A community that has no pendant in the fediverse, it seems)
IA! Fthagn!!!
