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.

I'm from a family of immigrants, my parents complain about immigration.

Bitch, WE ARE IMMIGRANTS 🤦‍♂️

Peak "fuck you, got mine". Same with my grandparents, they were anti-immigrant immigrants. Grandpa was also notoriously racist. I laughed so hard when some genome sequencing revealed a ton of sub-Saharan genes in that side of the family. My dad was about 25% African and Grandpa was hella dark. Now how could that be..?

No, I just like Tarantino movies lol.

The concept of racial purity is dumb everywhere, but it's especially dumb in the Mediterranean, where they had these things called "boats". There is just no way that an island smack in the middle of this shit wouldn't have DNA from all over the fucking place.

Especially after that island was invaded dozens of times since it's a great strategic location. Grandpa was very dumb.

That reminds me of Richard Pryor talking about his trip to Africa. He would ask people there what tribe it looked like he was from and they would say "you look Italian".

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.

[–] EldenLord@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.
