Octopuses master multitasking, utterly fail at existential joy.

In a development that will surprise precisely no one currently experiencing the existential dread of modern life, a new analysis has confirmed that octopuses are, in fact, "incredible multitaskers." The implication, for those of us who appreciate the subtle nuances of crushing societal pressure, is clear: these eight-limbed marvels are simply too busy to truly *live*.

Painstaking examination of underwater videos revealed a relentless symphony of simultaneous hunting, camouflaging, and strategic ink-deployment. It seems the much-lauded ability for advanced multitasking has evolved not for leisure or creative expression, but for the grim necessity of perpetual productivity. Sadly, this leaves little opportunity for the creatures to truly appreciate the breathtaking coral reefs or the tranquil vastness of their pristine ocean view. One might even suggest their highly intelligent brains are now just sophisticated processors for an endless marine to-do list, tragically echoing our own terrestrial plight.
