You know like the kind that go on a window or bathroom mirror or on the wall or in the shower. They need the atmosphere pushing down on them to work, right?

So you're telling me a space octopus would be powerless ?

[-] JimmyMcGill@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago

Other than the fact that it’s an octopus that managed to survive and thrive in outer space, yes.

Don't they also have little hooks in their cups though?

[-] gnate@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

They survived space, but didn't really thrive until arriving on Earth.

They can still wrap their noodley appendage around you.

[-] Fosheze@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Hot.

[-] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I believe they call those "Elder Gods" or "Great Old Ones." They are far from powerless.

Yeah, but they're pretty smart. It would adapt.
