Fortunately, memes live fast and die young—like many cephalopods! They're often semelparous breeders and live only a few years, which makes cephalopod husbandry uniquely challenging! Learn more in our video about the inkredible Ceph Team! https://mbayaq.co/2qbiX6N pic.twitter.com/e1rkknYIYW

how long do octopuses live if you deny them post-coitus death?
-
For giant Pacific octopuses, they can live 3-5 years, with one living over a year after she laid her eggs. But the lesser Pacific striped octopus can have numerous clutches of eggs, as described by the folks
@calacademy! -
Isn't "octopodes" correct? (Seriously asking an authority, not trying to 'actually' you)
-
Excellent question! "Octopus" is a mixture of the Greek "octopod" that picked up a Latin ending in "pus." The original Greek plural would be "octopodes," and the Greek root makes the plural of "octopus" correctly "octopuses," while "octopi" is good for eight desserts.
-
IMPORTANT CORRECTION FOR ACCURACY via @llewelyn_morgan: the original Greek was in fact “oktōpous” which was later latinized/modernized to “octopus.” So “octopodes” (oktṓpodes) was first, modern “octopuses” follows from the Greek root and “octopi” is about 25 rounded. -
I've honestly never had a question so thoroughly answered.

In fairness, the tweet right before this one was about our 30 years of sea otter research and a new research paper, and this silly meme about exactly your point has more engagement in ten minutes than that one had in an hour. It had an otter gif and everything!pic.twitter.com/PoAwrbxdDw

your research and otter gifs are always and duly appreciated!

BONUS OTTER! Give this social media coordinator a raise! (cash, not fish. unless said social media coordinator is an otter. then fish.)pic.twitter.com/I1C81oaqEI

Fun fact: southern sea otters don't really eat fish! They focus on marine invertebrates like abalone, squid and crabs. For those otters that eat sea urchins, they play a crucial role in regulating the health of local kelp forests as a keystone species!

John Steinbeck is rolling in his grave.

"Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a meme." — Steinbeck, 2018

Its inhabitants are, as the man once said, “trolls, n00bs, bots, ramblers, and sons of bitches,” by which he meant Everybody. Had the man looked through another peephole he might have said “extremely online,” and he would have meant the same thing.

(I know I should’ve committed to it and found something that rhymes and is positive for the second part BUT IT DIDN’T FIT and also I’m very online too)
-
At this point, kinda embarrassed to admit I never read it

-
Don’t be embarrassed, be excited! It means that if you pick it up, you’ll get to experience it for the first time, and that’s a wonderful treat that you only get once :)
-
The great thing is that once you read Cannery Row, you can come and see the places irl! Doc's lab is next door to the Aquarium, the Wing Chong market is across the street and we used to be the Hovden and Sea Pride canneries!
-
Yeah, well.... I can walk down College St and see the places where GWB used to get trashed and pull hilarious fraternity pranks
