Well it turns out they can read the facial expressions of human beings and it’s because of one autistic octopus that was pulled out of the water with forceps witch is believed to have caused its autism.

The study originally put forward by a team of German scientist looking into the animal and their incredible intellect. The octopus aced every other test ranging from opening a jar on its own with a treat inside to predicting the outcome of football games and even squeezing its squishy boneless body into a hollowed out doll and going to work as a high school receptionist under the alias of Deb to fund the experiments.

But even though the octopus could manage all that he couldn’t figure out why someone was upset, not for all the fish in the world.

Fun fact: while the octopus was handling money it would only ever use notes, because it hated change. There a little joke about one of my favorite sub genres of retard. The autistic individual.
