I seriously don't understand this logo. It seems to be an octopus, but only showing six tentacles and a skull which cephalopods do not have. The only hard part of the octopus is its beak. Are they trying to show a kraken? That is more of a squid. Ten tentacles and still no skull.

Don't fucking bad mouth octopi we have EIGHT limbs and fuck no they not legs that's a crab or any i mean they they have 8 this must be a spider anthropod or we

That logo has six legs. That is no octopus. That is a hexapus (not the crab)

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The tentacles of an octopus are usually not attached neatly in a row. Some of them will be behind the other legs.

And some be bifurcated

To be fair, hexapus does sound kind of like an eldritch god of some sort.

The hexapussy

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe the octopus lost two limbs, ever think of that, you ableist shitbag??!1!

Runs off crying

Heil Hydra, cut one head and they will participate equally regardless of how they move, communicate, think or interact.

Two of them are obscured by the skull. They could also be inside the skull along with the head, it's weird that an octopus would have a human skull anyway

hexapus

Sounds like a budget James Bond movie where the titular villain just smuggles minor gemstones and herbs.

"And at the Left hand of the lord stood an angel of fertility, birthing a half dozen babies from her half dozen birth canals. She was the Hexapuss."

For anybody confused: Hydra are small aquatic animals related to things like jellyfish. They have a whole bunch of stinging tentacles, a single head, and some species are IIRC effectively immortal. I could google it but that's not the vibe I'm feeling at the moment.

A lot less intimidating than the logo:

[–] coolman@lemmy.world 16 points 14 hours ago

Those things are vicious predators at the microbe level though, scary as shit

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Adding suckers to the tentacles ruined it.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Well there's one born every minute so you might as well find SOME use for it 🀷

The logo is from Marvel comics. Schmidt is a Nazi SS ObergruppenfΓΌhrer in charge of special weapons development; his division is known as Hydra and is the revival of an ancient cult. After a drug-induced mutation, Schmidt is known as the Red Skull.

Don't ask me any more questions, though; I'll have already forgotten everything I just read!

[–] jedibob5@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Ah, right, THAT Hydra. I felt like I'd seen that logo somewhere before, but I'm only passingly familiar with comics and such.

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

That is not an octopus, that is a hexaboob. A notoriously seductive skeleton with 6 boobs.
