They're going on an adventure.

Whatever you do, don't give them mushrooms. If our two alien species join forces, the results could be catastrophic.

I got curious about the one where they're on Molly. Here's a pretty quick rundown on it if anyone else wants to learn more.

PBS Article

Edit: Fixed the link.

Either I'm missing the joke or you forgot something.

Look into the Markdown code. The link description is missing.

Oops! Weird - the link shows fine in my app. If the other reply to your post doesn't give you the link you can easily find relevant articles by searching for "octopus Molly drug" or similar terms. It looks like there's a bunch of them out there.

Since you made the link a blank description, without a picture, the link is either hidden or a very small pixels. Others already reposted it, but you could just add some text between the brackets.

I appreciate the heads up!

The weird thing about that bottom left one is they didn't even give them the molly, they were making it on their own

Great, they are more advanced than us

They should hang out with the blowfish-puffing dolphins.

I'm honestly not sure if you're joking

Did you really just post a scientific rebuttal to my extremely obvious joke that octopi can make ecstasy

Because it's stupid. Octopi only make heroin.

xantoxis ,

They have a hell of a time lighting the spoons though

Humans, and other animals, produce DMT in their brain. It's not unreasonable for someone to read that octopus can make their own MDMA and assume it's a real statement. Someone literally responded, can't tell if you're joking.
