Who cares about pens and ink?

Damn things got an HD screen all over their bodies, they don't need ink to write whatever they want all over themselves...

I believe that is a cuttlefish.

e: I no longer believe that is a cuttlefish, having been informed by @mienshao@lemmy.world that it is a Hawaiian bobtail squid.

Interesting. But did you know human beings have a sack and something called a pen-is. Perhaps given sufficient research it could be used for the same purpose. Food for thought.

Saw a video of an Asian guy in his canoe with the business end of a squid pointed at his face. He was lightly smacking it and, BOOM, ink bukake. Let's just say there might be a lot more ink in there than you might suspect.

Found it!

You know in middle school science they actually had us dissect a squid and attempt dip the pen into its ink and write with it. My group couldn’t seem to get it to work so one of the guys in the group just used to the pen to stab it in the eye and wrote with that instead.

Isn't that a cuttlefish in the picture?

This is perfection

If you train them to write symbols you show them, wouldn't that make one a calamarigraphist
