They're completely serious

No clear evolutionary path in the fossil record.
...for the creatures that have no bones and only a beak that could even fossilize? Color me SHOCKED their ancestors didn't leave fossils.
You... are looking at a fossil of one. That's what the post is about. I mean, maybe they fossilize less frequent than other animals, but it seems like they do.

At least these are fun and amusing conspiracies that don’t hurt anyone.
Back in the day it was a bunch of trumpers butthurt that they had to wear a mask.
People forget. Back in the day it was talk about Libor and NSA abusing FISA and UFO coverups, much of which was actual conspiracy not theory. It wasn’t clearly aligned politically, just suspicious of power. The trumplings didn’t show up for quite a few years and quickly shit all over the floor.

Unfortunately if you have a tendency to buy into one fact-denying conspiracy, then you have a tendency to buy into all of them. That is why these kinds of conspiracy theories are always a pipeline into fascism.

The transgalactic Space Jews sent those octopuses to make The President look bad!

Yes, I do still browse reddit, mainly for hockey and some niche subs that aren't here yet. Once in a while I dip my toes into r/all to see the garbage that floats to the top and this one popped up today.
r/conspiracy has always been a shithole, but when I first saw this post I thought it was on a meme sub, but no, those morons actually believe this shit. Truly blows my mind how amazingly stupid a lot of people are.

The fact that there are very few fossils of soft bodied creatures kinda misses the point.
All the evolutionary diversity of molluscs is still alive. Squids, nautiluses, cuttlefish, snails slugs.
What’s the hypothesis here? An alien meteorite landed with 800 types of cephalopod, that just by chance share 97% of their DNA with slugs and snails that already existed on Earth?

Small discussion about this fossil on Lemmy yesterday:

To recap: that's not the correct age or species. Soft tissues do make fossils. This protooctopus looks different from modern octopi.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yup. It's not that soft tissue DOESN'T fossilize, it's just that the conditions to do so are much rarer, and soft tissue is obviously much more susceptible to degradation before fossilization.

plenty of sea critters have blue blood
horseshoe crab blood (blue) is even widely used to verify disinfection procedures
I read about that. It made me feel bad for the horseshoe crabs.

Resident alien has a funny gag related to this where the alien saw an octopus in a restaurant and the octopus said we've been waiting for you!

Not gonna lie, I was assuming even the picture was made up/AI bullshit. Bit of egg on my face there

They're all-powerful and inferior at the same time!

What if the protooctopus is a common ancestor to the 800 types of cephalopods?

Lol, lmao even
If you think the conspiracies weren't politically motivated, you didn't dig into who was "controlling the Libor/NSA" deep enough. Especially with anything money based, it always came back to the Jews. Like, for decades of looking into this shit, it's always been at the back of these conspiracy theories. Also, they had to hide their power level so much more up until rather recently, so it was easier for the naive to not see what they were really doing.

There's redlib and its instances, but as with YouTube links and piped/invidious, I prefer the original link and think it should always be present. https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib

And was voiced by Nathan Fillion. Was a great cameo...plus we get Jewel Staite in this season. Just need Adam Baldwin, Gina Torres, Summer Glau, Morerna Baccarin, Ron Glass and Sean Maher and we got the crew of serenity back.
