The Dumbo octopus also has an adorable genus name, Grimpoteuthis†. They're bottom-feeders, spending most of their time a few cm off the sea floor (about 3000-4000m deep) looking for snails, worms, etc. :weirdfish:

† I genuinely don't know what the "grimpo" part refers to - it may be someone's name, or it may be related to γριπάομαι, "to be contracted", referring to how the octopus's tentacles appear to be shortened (they're actually just joined together with skin, like webbed fingers).

@noelle ...Nope, no they weren't, I refuse to believe people are that young LALALALA NOT LISTENING

Welcome, new people, to MASTODON!

Here's your complimentary fursuit, copy of the Communist Manifesto, pineapple, bag of oats, pair of jorts, and the rest of the memes that have popped up and I've forgotten about

Around here emoji are emojos, tweets are toots (unless they're called something else), retweets are boosts (likewise), and twitter is birdsite

Please feel free to visit the petting zoo, we have robosquirbuns, catfoxes, dragons, kobolds, sharks, and all manner of other creatures to pet

@kibi "The standard argument is that using "B" ... [is] a lazy substitute for a real joke"

...Isn't that what memes ARE?

@chr@cybre.space what do you mean "what if"?

You're right there

@Elizafox I think everyone assumes that everyone else follows you already

@bea Oh yeah, those are like, totally tubular

I forget, was "tubular" an actual expression of something good or was it a piss-take, I can't tell them apart these days

Quote of the day: "Lettuce is just crunchy water" - Tom Scott

Tried explaining Mastodon to my sister the other day

"So what sort of people are on it?"

"Oh, all sorts, we've got a robosquirbun, a catfox, various sharks, dragons, and kobolds

Oh and some shapes as well"

"Keep taking the tablets, Sam"

@chr@cybre.space that would be excessively uncomfortable to listen to

If I'm ever in a Brewster's Millions situation I'm gonna hire all of you to shitpost full time

text chat stuff 

@vilmibm@cybre.space Ooh, that looks interesting, might have to hop on

@Elizafox @Nine Ah, so the problem with it is that the unique codes aren't
