I seriously loving hate the ocean and if I were elected to a major government branch, the first thing I would do is figure out a way to pave over every single ocean on the planet because man, gently caress that poo poo.

Rare 10-foot squid washes up on Oregon beach

The 8-legged squid, which measured 10 feet long and weighed roughly 90 pounds, was already dead when beachgoers discovered it near Silver Point — just south of Cannon Beach, according to the Seaside Aquarium.

"It had been dead for a little while and some scavenging had occurred but all in all it was in pretty good shape," the aquarium wrote in a July 28 Facebook post, which has received hundreds of reactions.
Man gently caress that noise, Lovecraft is alive and well, pumping out monstrosities like this in the middle of the ocean. I'm not ashamed to admit the ocean loving scares the dick out of me.

I think cephalopods are pretty cool, so with enough preparation I'd be alright with it.

I lived in OC and that was near the ocean too yet I survived, the key is to not go into the water because a lot of the ocean is primarily water.

I like the ocean when I can enjoy it via boats. I grew up in Virginia Beach and basically my biggest problem with the ocean is loving sand and tourists. Oceans good, beaches poo poo.

I think having a squid as a pet would be rad, but a saltwater tank is such a hassle. Then again I could put it on my head whenever I wanted.

look i cant be alone in thinking this thing doesn't look like it's 10 feet long. maybe if you stretched out the tentacles straight, which is like saying your height should be measured while standing on tippytoes and including your mohawk as height.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
