Smae!
Woah there, Mr Deep! I see the way you are eye-banging that cephalopod.
yeah but how many ceremonial buttplugs did they have? not just day to day buttplugs, I'm talking formal occasion ones.
I have to ask, what ceremony is that for and does it have a parade?
my dude the local permit guy has his head deeper up his butt than any of the plugs are supposed to go. I don't even want to try for a parade.
as far as what ceremony, everyone's got their rituals to make them feel special shut up
Hey I’m not judging. Whatever floats your boat.
Or stops it sinking.
Could they sync it to the baseline of katy perry's roar?
On the other hand, they didn't have Fallout New Vegas and had to contend with the REAL Caesar's legions, so I say we still win.
Julius Cæsar lived during the Iron Age.
Both sound pretty metal.
Eh, close enough 🤷😉
Bronze age
Julius Caesar
lol
Fun fact: Julius Caesar wasn't the only Caesar by a long shot.
Additional fun fact: It was super late here when my brain farted that out 😄
But they also don't have starfield
Eh, Starfield isn't actually that bad. It isn't very good either, though, just mediocre.
Which would have been totally fine for an indie or a niche game from a major developer.
5 or 6/10 is worth playing for sure. It's just not worth paying AAA money or "this is going to be the best thing ever" style hype..
I have half a kilo of cinnamon.
I have ice, on demand, and hot water, flushing toilets, magic boxes that entertain me.
I’d fucking give it all for an octopus vase….
I accidentally spilled about a tablespoon of peppercorns on the floor and could hear my ancestors screaming in horror as I swept them up and threw them away.
But what do you store it in? A vase with an octopus on it?
A chest with a millipede motif
Ok well that’s more than acceptable.
I have an electron rubiks cube
octouses
Octopodes 🐙 🐙 🐙
Also correct. Octopii, too
Octoplenty
Octoplural
Words in English that end in "-us" and pluralize to "-i" are from Latin, such as cactus/cacti or focus/foci. However, "octopus" is from Greek, and its correct pluralization from Greek would be "octopodes." In English, we have also adopted "octopuses," which fits our standard pluralization rules.
So, "octopi" is actually a language mix up, though one that's so common that it seems to be accepted in English.
Actually, octopi is the "erroneous" one. Although it is a very common mistake so might make the shift to recognised before too much longer.
Everyone still understands it, so it doesn't matter.
Now I wonder how Octopie tastes like. It's probably related to seafood pizza. 🫠
IMO it's tragic to eat such an intelligent creature. Maybe stick to these guys...? Mmmm. 
Seafood, eat it
You do want to keep octopuses in jars because they're dicks who fuck up the ocean for the rest of us.
And don't get me started on those fucking cuttlefish.
Blatant squid propaganda.
You don’t see me out here disparaging Hares or even jackrabbits do you?
Be better.
What about jackalopes?
half breed abomination of nature and ought not be allowed to compete in our sports IMO, but only because they dope so heavily
There’s a reason they’re fast as fast can be … cocaine
I've had that, yes. Also dental care
Do octopodes even have teeth?
Some of them (maybe all? Idk) have a venomous beak. So. There's that. :|
Oh. On them. Not in them.
There is our chance to surpass them!
I have plastic vases that can have them on them. Should take 3 days total
