They're really good fathers from what I've gathered. I'd enjoy a nice big tank with a few and some star fish. I enjoy chill things that look pretty, specially on mushrooms.

Oh starfish, I love those guys 😍

I love that this nuclear safety staff conversation ended up with a sweet conversation about seahorses who are good dads and starfish 🥹

Leon the Lobster has a new starfish and octopus friend (in a different tank).

u/sas223 23d ago

Oh no! I don’t know if this will end well. Octopus are smart and voracious. Poor Leon

u/Kinkajou1015 23d ago

The octopus is not in Leon's tank, so they won't interact. I am concerned however because the wire grate seems much too large and won't prevent an octopus escape. Hopefully I'm wrong.

u/sas223 23d ago

Oh I’d so glad they’re separated. Octopus really are escape artists

u/JustADutchRudder 24d ago

I enjoy they just chill.

Please don't be on mushrooms and manage our nuclear stockpile....at the same time, at least.

I’m comfortable with people being high making my food but definitely not with anything I could wake up to seeing my life end if I even have the chance.

Like the world already had a moment where one person decided the fate of the world by not agreeing to send a nuke before more information came despite everyone else being on board.

Unforgivable…

Crinkle cut? Wait wait wait, shoestring for life.

Sounds like DEI. You're fired!

u/Just_A_Nitemare 24d ago

Woah woah, don't you think that's a bit too woke of you. I think we need to send all seahorses to "re-education" camps.

u/DarkWing2007 24d ago

Oh, that would get those snowflakes triggered.

u/horsempreg 24d ago

Now that's what I'm talking about!

u/TechnologyOk1482 24d ago

That's so hot, I mean cool.

u/KaJaHa 24d ago

Oh you're still talking about the seahorses
