Cephalopods are neither mammals nor fish—they are evolutionary oddities with decentralized brains, color-shifting skin, and jet propulsion. In work, they serve as research subjects and bio-inspiration. In entertainment, they range from playful sidekicks to Lovecraftian horrors. In popular media, they embody intelligence, mystery, and adaptability. As our understanding of their consciousness grows, so will their presence in ethical, educational, and imaginative content. The 700 species of cephalopods are not just animals—they are mirrors of our curiosity about alien intelligence, right here on Earth.

In the vast ecosystem of enterprise IT, some names become legends. For over a decade, the HPE C7000 Platinum chassis—often shortened to “C700” in admin shorthand—has been the backbone of data centers worldwide. But look closer. This unassuming rack of blinking lights isn't just running spreadsheets. It is enabling veterinary breakthroughs, managing global supply chains, rendering the next blockbuster, and preserving digital culture.
Here is how the C700 chassis connects the animal kingdom, the future of work, and the content we can’t stop watching. c700 animals video xxx work
Animals have been stealing the spotlight for decades. Here are some of the most iconic categories:
The Classics:
The Modern Stars:
The C700 has even crept into pop culture—usually as visual shorthand for “serious computing.”
Film & TV appearances:
Video games:
In Watch Dogs 2, the fictional “CTOS 3.0” server farm uses a 3D model unmistakably based on the HPE C7000. Players can physically walk past rows of them while hacking animal tracking data from the San Francisco Zoo mission. Word count (approx
Memes & IT culture:
Among data center engineers, the C700 has a cult following. Memes like “You can hear this picture” (showing a C700 at full fan speed) and “Blade server or toaster?” are common on r/homelab and r/sysadmin. When a popular YouTuber (Linus Tech Tips) built a “portable C700” on a hand truck, the video got 4 million views—cementing the chassis as a folk hero of enterprise IT.
