Excuse me, but it recognizes all of us cephalopods as sentient beings, thank you very much.

Too bad this 'bnnbreaking.com' is literally the only source for this story.

Ok I had to Google this because I've never seen anything on squid intelligence. Octopus and cuttlefish, yes. Looks like squid got more going on than I'd previously thought.

I still need some convincing on decapods though.

Also, do you like own Lemmy or something? You're EVERYWHERE.
