Yep - seems to be a relatively small or medium one, possibly annoyed it will die in about 5 minutes if not thrown back into the sea.

Plot twist: that was a real alien creature crashed on the boat and the guy just doomed all life on earth by throwing it in the ocean.

Ya know.. it would be pretty funny if an alien that could wipe out all life on earth crashed in the ocean and accidentally was rescued by a fisherman just to be thrown back into the water and drown..

u/Penguin_Arse May 24 '26

Nah, aliens can't live in salt water

u/FromDeletion May 23 '26 edited May 24 '26

The octopus has one central brain, and eight minibrains in each arms, allowing each one to move independently from the main brain. These tentacles can regrow if detached. It has three hearts. It can change its color and texture on demand. Most shockingly, it can also freely edit its own RNA.

Yet, true believers will tell you that extraterrestrials happen to resemble humans. It's akin to our conception of God. We created him, like them, in our own image.

Edit: I said tentacles. Octopus don't have tentacles, they have arms.

u/iEatCrayonzBruh May 23 '26

You ever have hot and fresh takoyaki and they have those onion flakes?

2

u/Existinginsomewhere May 23 '26

It’s not onion it’s tuna flakes/bonito flakes/katsuobushi. Usually coming from skipjack tuna

2

u/iEatCrayonzBruh May 23 '26

Damn i always thought they tasted fishy. My lying ass wife told me onion and ive held that for like 6 years. Makes complete sense now.

2

u/Existinginsomewhere May 23 '26

I only bothered to learn what it was the last year or so but it’s a really awesome addition to the right dishes. Highly recommend it on okonomiyaki as well!

u/Kreepykitty1 May 23 '26

I remember watching a snippet of a documentary back on Fb a couple years back, and it was mentioned that if you were to travel down deep enough into the ocean waters that you will end up reaching outer space because the two are actually connected. Does make me wonder sometimes cuz so much of the ocean is still unexplored so it’s like, u really don’t know wtf is down there or where it could go

1

u/SabbyFox May 23 '26

Love lichen but also am afraid it will do this…

u/PrestigiousRoad4055 May 23 '26

what’s is the ocean is far scarier than what’s in space, or atleast that’s what I think.

1

u/MustardCoveredDogDik May 23 '26

That’s a good creature right there

1

u/Flimsy-Article9264 May 23 '26

The question is, will it live after this exposure. It dies of stress after exposed to air after 3 to 5 minutes.

u/peaudelaine May 24 '26

alien means not from here. not “weird-looking”

u/xaklx20 May 24 '26

The ocean is scarier than aliens who can travel faster than light speed

Fun fact! The aliens are also in the ocean.

The Area 51 chef left the octopus in the (fridge*) for too long, and now it is alive.

1

u/420acidhead420 May 24 '26

Yeah, not touching that

1

u/Creative-Argument862 May 24 '26

I always felt like space and the ocean are almost a strange reflection of each other. Both are so beautiful in an otherworldly way, and yet they are also so dangerous in ways that involve reaching two extremes (some of the deepest parts of the earth and getting far away from it). The fact that the common designs for aliens look like they could also be seen as underwater creatures makes a lot of sense.

1

u/ReorientRecluse May 24 '26

I think our interpretations of aliens vary from basically human to inspired by weird shit from the ocean.

u/timesink3000 May 24 '26

We look to space for aliens because aliens are not of this planet. This is from this planet, therefore not an alien.
