  • After a little research it seems that “octopi” and “octopuses” have been so widely used and for so long, that dictionaries include all of them as correct. An article from merriam webster even pragmatically suggests referring to them as “octopodes” is less likely to be understood so stick with “octopi” or “octopuses”. Also, it seems “octopodes” is the more widely accepted “correct” plural and “octopoda” refers to the genus.

    But it’s an interesting topic, i wish to subscribe to octopus etymology facts(or any interesting reads)


  • Mine is a youtube video where girl shares that she used to do extreme self deprecating humor like “oh, i dropped this thing, i should just kill myself” but tried flipping completely to “oh, i dropped this thing, guess it’s the price of having such nice skin and grace.” She noticed how it helped her improve her relation with her friends and weed out the bad ones. This video was profoundly influential to me but i didn’t realize until later so i didn’t save it at the time.
