  1. Surrender your potato chips and I won't make you suffer.
  2. Here Cam, I made you something LMAOOOO aNYWAYS, Onto more serious things, here are some PFP's for @Zariel ~ And so we match, some for me ~
  3. ooo yeah, I saw one a few nights ago on an Insta video tbh, it went through this TINYYYY hole, and I know they can do that because they have no bones but it's always like wowww every time I see it lol

  5. So today's blog is going to be about octopus, the most intelligent invertebrates in the ocean. I'll do some quick facts, as well as some info about how smart these guys are, and go over some ways to tell octopus apart from squid. There's so much I'd like to cover about them, but I don't want to write hundreds of paragraphs, and it would be super easy to with these guys. They have complex nervous systems, advanced camouflage abilities, and remarkable problem-solving skills, they challenge everything we think we know about animal intelligence and are very interesting little guys to be around or research. Let's do a few fun facts about these guys first: An octopus has three hearts. Two pump blood to the gills, and one pumps it to the rest of the body. Fun fact: the heart that pumps to the body actually stops beating when they swim, which is why they prefer crawling. Octopus blood is blue because it contains hemocyanin, a copper based molecule that helps transport oxygen in cold, low oxygen ocean environments. About two-thirds of an octopus’s neurons are in its arms, not its brain. Each arm can taste, touch, and even move semi-independently so it’s almost like they have eight tiny brains. Some species, like the Mimic Octopus, can impersonate other sea animals such as lionfish, flatfish, and sea snakes. They can change color, texture, and even body shape in seconds. Octopuses can open jars, navigate mazes, and remember solutions. They’re considered among the most intelligent invertebrates on Earth. Because they have no bones, an octopus can squeeze through any hole larger than its beak, which is about the size of a coin in many species. Each suction cup can taste what it touches. That's the equivalent to if you could taste with your fingertips. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Octopus vs. Squid: Knowing the difference. Octopus: Has a round, soft body. Mostly found on the sea floor. An Octopus has a rounded shaped head. Octopus have eyes on the top of their heads. They are solitary creatures and do not live in groups. They can be seen with babies sometimes, as they care for their young. An Octopus only has 8 arms, and does not have tentacles like the squid does. Squids: They have a very triangular shaped head and their bodies are long as opposed to the Octopus, which is more round. Squids have 8 arms and 2 tentacles. Their eyes are on the sides of their heads. Squids have been known to live in groups and can often be found with other squid. They are usually found in the open ocean and not on the sea floor like an octopus. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The smartest animal of the ocean? Octopuses are considered the most intelligent invertebrates on Earth, with complex nervous systems and around 500 million neurons distributed throughout their bodies. Unlike most animals, a large portion of their neurons are located in their arms, allowing them to process information and move semi-independently. This unique setup contributes to their impressive problem-solving abilities. In laboratory settings, octopuses have been observed opening screwtop jars to reach food, navigating mazes, recognizing individual humans, and even escaping from secure tanks. They are capable of learning through observation and remembering solutions to tasks long after first encountering them. Their intelligence makes the octopus one of the most remarkable thinkers in the ocean. When faced with a new obstacle, an octopus will explore it with careful, deliberate movements, testing and adjusting until it finds a solution. Studies have shown they can distinguish between shapes and patterns, remember successful strategies, and adapt when circumstances of their environment change. Their ability to rapidly camouflage by processing visual information and altering their skin in real time also reflects advanced neural control. Rather than reacting automatically, octopuses demonstrate curiosity, memory, and problem-solving skills that suggest a highly developed and independently evolved form of intelligence. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hope you guys enjoyed reading this, and walked away with a little more info about octopus!~
  6. Okay but octopus first, that was requested lol
  7. Thanks all ~ These were fun to make, and it was nice to come up with a new desktop for awhile~ Desktops are always so tedious to make x.x @Eris ~whacks with stick~ LOL

    Plants

    Ya'll what are we planting this year? It's getting close to the season to start thinking about it lol @Animedragon @Ayame @Sarada @Kari I'm not sure I wanna go the sunflower route myself this year, last year they grew pretty big but ultimately, I didn't know what to do with them when they got too big last year x.X I'm thinking about doing marigolds this year because they seem pretty easy to care for and hardy. Hens and chicks is something else I was thinking.
  9. YEAH RIGHT WE KNOW YOU GOT THE CAT EARS LOL His are prolly pink AND have cat ears LOL ~ I was also really happy to find out that these can connect to my PC, laptop, tablet, phone, playstation controler, xbox controllers, switch, and about anything. I wanna find out if this company sells normal headphones too because I loveeee these
  10. That's cool tbh ~ I kinda wanna go to Ecuador now, but just for the monkeys lol I had class, blahblahblah, I downloaded Wuthering Waves with @Zariel, guess we're going to play that after I finish dinner. We'll probably watch an ep of Dark too, and I'll prolly binge watch some of Natsume's Book of Friends before bed.
  11. Itsa like, 66, I think it was up to 70 today @.@ Idk feels weird for February ~ but there is a big super storm suppose to hit tomorrow with tornado possibilities in the area x.x
  12. Welcome to the forum~ glad you're here & if you ever wanna chat feel free to message me.
  13. Alchemy Not alchemisable NOT THAT ANYONE WOULD WANT TO
  14. TYYYY GUYSSSSSSSSS I ended up making a second wallpaper for my second monitor and it matches really well ~ EDIT: UPDATE~I decided to add Madara to the top part of the app box, you can't see it in the picture I took of my IRL desktop because it was added after, but I think Madara there sleeping on his little cushion was the missing factor Shoulda turned my lil pink lights on so its all pink but good enough ~
  15. I mean I wanna do that anyways in THIS life lmao ~ Just go feral and live in the woods x.x Yes please, sign me up
  16. "oH WOW what a deal!~" "Can I get my arm removed, and get my friends arm removed for my free arm removal?"
  17. WELCOME TO THE FORUMMM ONE OF MY BESTIESSSESS<3
  18. I finally got my gaming headphones in the mail today ~ I was recommended this brand by several streamer friends and they are soooo amazing. One of my friends that uses them said she tested the charge life and she got up to 94 hours before without having to recharge them, which is pretty impressive. They aren't super duper expensive either, they range in $40 - $80. So far I've tried out the mic and it's amazinggggg, the sound is really good, no latency issues playing games or in VC's. Plus, optional kitty kat ears, I'm set
  19. Watched Natsume's Book of Friends, made some GFX, and played OSRS once I'd gotten home. I had classes and all that this morning~
  20. It was stupid silly warm and I didn't like it
  21. God yes, I'm just ready for bed, but I'm trying to stay up another hour.
