This has nothing to do with anything just a thought I had on a subject im passionate about.

If you find a spider or a bug inside your house don’t kill it. Put it outside, in your plants if they won’t harm them, just stop fucking killing bugs just because you don’t like them. I don’t care if you’re scared of them, in fact I couldn’t give less of a shit. People have GOT to stop being used to killing creatures just because they don’t like them or are slightly inconveniencing. This isn’t your world. Who do you think was here first, asshole. Stop killing bugs. We need them.

This is not anthropomorphization but genuinely something theyre known to do. I've heard divers say octopuses and cuttlefish get fascinated by hand gestures and will sometimes respond to them like. We probably do look like we have little cephalopods on the ends of our arms, to them. Like we're always putting on a puppet show.

ive heard enough stories of octopuses attempting to socially interact w humans to be convinced that some octopuses want to socially interact w humans

frustrated how quickly people will trip over themselves to dismiss any notion of animal thought as "anthropomorphization" as if animals are truly thoughtless lumps of meat who simply move their limbs around meaninglessly and die

precocious adult behavior
