I watched My Octopus Teacher with my partner last night and we both cried. It sounds like an anime title, but it’s an INCREDIBLE documentary.

A great reminder to please not eat octopus, even if you eat meat in general. They're so intelligent.

I've seen one flying around Lemmy since I've been here at least.

That's the spaghetti monster.

All hail FSM!

I think the OP might be.

It saunters up to the tiki bar, sunglasses slightly askew, as it holds up a sand dollar with one tentacle while another is waving, beckoning

Reminds me of the cuddlemen from the YouTube All Tomorrows project.

I know this is a tongue-in-cheek comment, but octopuses is generally preferred: https://oceanconservancy.org/blog/2022/02/01/plural-octopus/

Before using wrong a plural in a language you don't know, just use an anglized plural, octopuses (or octopusses).

Afaik, octopodi would be correct as 'pus is actually derived from ancient greek "pous" meaning foot (latin would be "pes"). And even in Latin, not everything ending on -us has -i as plural.
