A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

But how bitey is it? Why would it even want to bite? What if I'm very very gentle?
If it's cornered it will bite. First it will flee (can't), then it will show the rings you can see in the picture to warn predators. If it does that and you still touch it, or worse, pick it up, it will bite.
What if I put my hand in its path and it climbs on? And if I keep my hand flat so it can leave at will? Maybe I should put a snack on my palm!
Only one way to find out!
I do not recommend putting snack, might encourage biting XD
I'm speaking for a human here but I'm very bitey. From this sample size being 100% bitey we have to assume its the same for the blue-ringed octopus.
The biteyness increases when one gets moved out of the zone one can breathe in.
Animals are just like us in that respect!
I'm pretty sure, I'm an animal too 😅
You sure? Might be a hyperintelligent plant with delusions of animalism 🤷
Hyperintelligent eh? Well that definitely sounds like me, maybe you're right!
Well, hyperintelligent by the standards of daffodils, maybe 🤷
That seems fair. Keep hand underwater, got it.
You’d die and the octopus would be fine.
It looks friendly. I say go for it.
