    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…

    Eerie.

        They aren’t as cool, sure, but they’re still covered in chromatophores (and cuttlefish also have ink, so the point still stands anyway).

        I just couldn’t find a gif of one using them, so I got one of a cuttlefish. 🤷‍♂️

    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.

      Maybe to write secret letters like with lemon juice and a candle, but this time with an UV lamp instead.

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