And you don't start sentences with capital letters.

[–] nonfuinoncuro@lemm.ee 1 points 18 minutes ago

I mean it's better than capitalizing Random Words because you think it Looks Cool and it will Make America Great Again!

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

nO I d'ont.

Not endless, i guarantee it.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 33 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

We're apes though.

Great ones even!

Apes are monkeys, in the same sense that humans are apes.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 5 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I'm not entirely sure that statement is correct, but it's been a while since I took any anthropology courses...

Edit: I was wrong and remembered the tree incorrectly.

[–] Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 23 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Family tree of primates. As you can see, old world monkeys and new world monkeys share their last common ancestor with the apes. That means that phylogenetically, that if they are both monkeys, then so are all the apes.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 6 points 12 hours ago

You are factually correct, the best kind of correct!

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

It is correct. I've been corrected on this before and did the research to discover I was wrong. Humans are Monkeys.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 1 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, looks like I was mistaken.

[–] blackbelt352@lemmy.world 75 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

Not just hamlet but the entire body of works accredited to Shakespeare

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

I thought they were written by a Klingon.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 48 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

damn, that monkey must be pretty prolific, perhaps even rivaling Shakespeare! Do we know their name?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

At least one overly-proficient monkey.

[–] IkarusHagen2@feddit.org 18 points 19 hours ago

She was Wouldiwas Shookspeared and she wrote all of shakespears work in a span of one monkey life

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 7 points 18 hours ago

Christopher Marlowe

[–] ChilledPeppers@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

The name of the kid: Shakespeare

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago

Prithee, good sir, wouldst know the stripling's name?
'Twas William Shakespeare, ere he found his fame!

Life is amazing

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago

Yeah and all by one monkey.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 53 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Not on a typewriter though. Task failed successfully.

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 3 points 59 minutes ago

If you're paying, I'll rewrite it on a typewriter for you.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 28 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Pretty sure some other monkey did tho

[–] HKPiax@lemmy.world 15 points 18 hours ago

The monkeys are really the friends we make along the way

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

We're apes, not monkeys, though.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 7 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

We’re both. Apes are a subset of old world monkeys.

e: sorry, old, not new

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

simiiformes / simians

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

A monkey wrote Hamlet. It got mediocre reviews.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)
