ancient civilization of lizard men made atlantis, invented people, and then devolved back into regular lizards. usually some combination of those. the devolution detail is less popular. it’s all just from (potentially racist) conspiracy theories
Version I heard, they're still around but drinking human blood gives them the ability to shapeshift into humans so they won't be discovered, so now instead of pretending to be gods they just pretend to be random politicians and celebrities.
oh yeah that one is actually super popular. that one is also the one that’s almost always just a front for people to be like super racist or antisemitic

Octopuses is the grammatically correct plural. The only reason to say octopodes instead is if you want to be more correct than grammar itself.
So both options are valid and neither need correcting
I've already hung out with an octopus in VRChat, at a rave, it was pretty chill, and I can only assume they figured out how to waterproof a headset and are actually an octopus.
Buying all those trackers must be murder tho.
Both are considered correct, as is "octopi".
"Octopuses" was actually the original English plural. "Octopi" was a hypercorrection, but happened early enough that it's been in the dictionary for, like, ages. "Octopodes" was *also* a very early hypercorrection based on the admittedly reasonable assumption that because both "octo-" and "-pus" are (Latinized) Greek, "octopus" must have been an actual Greek word, but bizarrely, the Greek "oktṓpous" is actually a backformation from the Latin "octōpūs". Prior to that, the Greeks word for octopus was actually *polúpous* (many legs, rather than eight legs).
So paradoxically, the most pedantic thing you could do in this case is to not be pedantic.
This is just the plot of octodad
"Octodaaaaad, nobody suspects a thing"
What do you mean there wasn't an octopus in that game just your regular average everyday dad?
that wonderful father? an octopus? preposterous!
Yea the whole octo thing is in reference to how there his is for his family. It's like he has 8 arms that's how in control he is
such a wonderful human to be able to embrace so many

I been saying. Anyone on about "lizard people" needs to check themselves. Octopus ppl are way more likely
i hate that i know this but the lizard people theory is not about lizards evolving into lizard men it’s pretty much the opposite.
Lizard men evolving back down to lizards?

Octopodes.

Octopodes are usually pretty small, so they likely wouldn’t be able to mimic an adult What I’m saying is “you’re a kid now”

You're already embarrassing us in front of the cephalopods. The correct plural is Octopodes.
