This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

People like Anon‘s dad are the reason why earth is still such a backward hillbilly place. Irrational disdain for harmless things like queerness, meanwhile actual problems and crimes like global warming, PFAS usage, genocide and corruption from top government officials are being ignored.

Fun fact: Humans are less socially intelligent than apes.

Just to have an ackshoolly moment: humans are apes. If you mean humans are less socially intelligent than gorillas, male gorillas tend to do stuff like killing all the children fathered by the previous silverback. Human stepfathers at least sometimes don't do that.

I meant apes as in great apes, but you‘re right, humans are included in the Hominidae superfamily. Gorillas almost only kill each other‘s children when the silverback dies and the group dissolves. Mostly because food becomes scarce then.

Meanwhile I have seen human parents neglect their children and steal their allowance to try and win a rare Labubu doll. So yeah I‘d argue that as a species, the apes still got their shit together better than humans. (Except chimpanzees obv.)

Then again, gorillas don't have a concept of money or labubu dolls. Basically, our society gives more opportunities to fuck up.
