Don't worry, they only have to deal with the dying part, which everyone else also does, so they don't have it especially bad.

iirc, one common method of killing them is swinging them by their tentacles and beating them against a rock

I really want to post goatse. Instead I only have these🍄.



They're usually spear-fished. The whacking against a rock is a way to tenderize them after the catch.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I saw a video featuring a spearfisherman and her go to method of killing an octopus she'd caught was to straight up bite its brain

First animals I stopped eating were squid and octocs. Too smart. Stopped eating pig because I heard they cum for 20 mins straight and I just respect.

I don't think the squid we eat are particularly smart. The bigger ones, sure.

This one got a human to help it hunt though, which seems pretty smart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdCOYToDqfM

The expressions of dissent and art from the women’s protests in Iran – in pictures



Red paint was poured over a wall featuring a mural of Iran’s leaders, who are seen as dictators, in Tehran by an unknown protester on 15 November 2022.



The Smarties, a project by Shiva Khademi, documents the women of Tehran whose hair represents the freedom they are willing to fight for. Marjan, born in 1995 in Tehran, said: ‘I always change my identity at the exact moment I begin to feel empty.’



A poster by Roshi Rouzbehani called My Hair is Not Your Battle Ground and reading ‘woman, life, freedom’ was inspired by the young Iranian women who cut their hair during the protests, which is usually a symbolic gesture of mourning.

The vast majority of squids and octopus live maybe 2-3 years tops, and the ones typically caught for food not even a year sometimes.

I find this together with their intelligence such a strange mix. It feels like something as smart as an octopus should also have a longer lifespan.

Everyone loves this video but the surfboard thief is an enormous fuckin jackass. He bombs this dudes wave, get in his way, shoves him, then literally rips the surfboard from under his feet leaving him stranded offshore with no floatation while the chucklefuck takes his board back to shore.

Did you watch the same video I did because the guy who lost his board dropped in on the guy who took it. Dude also appears to not have a leash on his board so he's either very used to swimming back to shore or was soon going to get a lesson in that anyway.

That dude is a bully. Imagine someone doing that with another person's snowboard, skis, bike, or skateboard for the grievous offense of not seeing a person speeding up behind them-- they would end up bleeding out in the parking lot on day one. I know surfing has its own cultural norms but gently caress that guy.

My man was literally in coming out of the green room when the flog stole his board (edit: actually you may be right, the video is cut too short at the start), it was his wave. With the speed of that wave and old mate holding the board, I think the leash ripped.

Edit2: And yeah as above, my sport is MTB. The more immediate stakes conjure a different etiquette.
