Do you think there's any possibility of intelligent life underwater?

If there's intelligence down there, it's a got tentacles. An octopus has 3 hearts and 9 brains and are freakishly smart. Mermaids are a product of horny sailors.

Dolphins > Tentacles
>>19462977
Dolphins as well as >>19463007 octopus.
Outside of that is speculation and mythology, the pool dwelling undines and mermaids. If you are like Arthur Machen, perhaps you believe that folk tales and legend contain a basis of truth.

There's evidence of some sculped fossils allegdly done by an octopus.
Besides that we have multiple cetaceans that are among the smartest creatures on earth.

Tfw dolphins and humans have the same number of chromosomes and can thus produce children, explaining the mermaid myth is likely true.

Octopi have:
>Spatial thinking
>A sense of "self" (knows it's alive)
>Can learn
>Build homes
>Probably sentient
>Etc, etc.
Octopi are like gross 5 year olds

>>19462977
100 percent yes
>>19462977
Actually, yeah.. Or rather, I believe its possible, don't see any reason why not.
There was a fake docu a while back about how mermaids and shieet could exist, shit seemed pretty cash to me so I'm willing to believe there might be something, somewhere, deep down.
>>19462977
Yes, but they wouldn't be able to advance past basic tool usage and construction - due to lack of fire.
>>19463225
Maybe that's why dolphins try to fuck people so often.
>>19465401
dolphins have the most sophisticated vaginas in the mammal kingdom, there's a dude on 420chan you can go ask, he fucks 'em
>>19462977
There's no intelligent life on land, why would there be any underwater?
>>19464213
Happen to remember what it was called? Could be fun to dig up and watch.
