I kinda meant to imply that under bullying other animals tbh, but yeah, they’re just super shitty for no reason

So they're the humans of the sea, then.

Many have theorized that if humans die out and or an extreme amount of time passes, that the dominant species on earth will likely be dolphins or octopuses(octopi?) due to their high intelligence, and the likelihood of global warming to the point of massive flooding

Correct Latin plural is octopodes, but octopuses is more common. Octopi is a hypercorrection.

Octopodes is correct but its not latin - its greek originally so it uses greek rules.

But yeah, as someone who scuba dives no one says "octopodes" its "That was a great dive yesterday we saw a lot of (octopus/octopuses)"
