I heard if you bring your dick out he leaves you alone.

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 36 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You say that like my dick has been put away since Harambee passed.

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

And you've had zero visits from angry Harambee ghost. Keep up the good work.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 10 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

That's got a Frank Herbert's "The White Plague" vibe. A solution for half the population, but what about the other half?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Whip your girl dick out; it ain't that hard.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 weeks ago

But it can be owo

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

The spirit will accept "Tits out for Harambee" if a dick is unavailable.

[–] unreachable@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

but what about the other half?

let thanos have it

I can't wait to be 75 years old and hear about Harambe and just instinctively yell 'DICKS OUT FOR HARAMBE'

[–] SGG@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago

"DICKS OUT FOR HARAMBE!"

Grandchild: "there goes his Alzheimer's again"

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

Haha imagine the narwhal is still beacon in 50 years 😂😂😂😎

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Harambe was not a monkey though

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh no, you don't think that's going to make him more vengeful, do you?

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Apes are territorially vigilant and can defend it,but they do not seek out conflict unbidden

[–] gentooer@programming.dev 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm so glad my language doesn't distinguish between apes and monkeys.

[–] SpaceCadet@feddit.nl 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Reminds me of when I got into an argument with my English teacher in highschool. On a test we had to translate some words from Dutch to English, and she marked me down because I translated "aap" as "ape" intead of "monkey". I had to remind her that the movie "Planet of the Apes" exists.

Landgenoot bedoel je wellicht ;)

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

It’s also convenient it shares that one cognate phrase with english

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

And now he's pissed that they called it monkeypox and not gorillapox.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Fuck it, a pox on both your categories

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 12 points 3 weeks ago

Hey, you better take this meme and throw it in the fucking trash. Harambe was a gentle and kind soul. Gorilla was his final incarnation and his soul now rests in nirvana.

[–] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

dicks out for the vengeful spectre of harambe

[–] nl4real@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Imagine the disaster we could've averted if they hadn't shot Harambe.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The entire simulation was a test, and we failed. Now we’re just in the cleanup phase as God sends us ever-escalating sigkill signals.

Thank you for making it an old.reddit link. If I "have" to go to reddit, at least it's old reddit.

TECHNICALLY INCORRECT BY MODERN STANDARDS

Cladistically apes are old world monkeys, as a branch of Simiiformes/Simians.

In casual conversation and scientific tradition, most people prefer to maintain a distinction between the two groups because they're referring to family characteristics and, in the greater social subtext, human ancestry. There is no actual scientific basis for excluding apes from the label of monkey beyond humanity's desire to feel special and to make evolution deniers feel dumb.

That said, that's a valid reason to continue using the distinction. If they try to argue the point just point out that they're admitting to the existence of evolution in doing so.

Tl;Dr all apes are now considered monkeys, but not all monkeys are apes

I had to scroll this far to get a laugh but hey thanks!
