    The longer I live in this magaverse, the more I understand the desire to go live with chimpanzees.

        Only true if America begins performing military raids on Canada and eating their babies.

        Chimpanzees are brutal

        I get and appreciate the sentiment but Jane’s own research showed how sadly chimpanzees are the same as us. War raids, murder, infanticide, rape and even torture.

        They’re our closest cousins and we all suck in the same way at a base level.

          Yeah chimps are actually some of the worst right? Their lives are kinda like a constant warzone. They also even do assassinations

          If we’re going for the “good” apes, then gibbons and bonobos would be the best bet, from what I understand. Though gibbons aren’t in the same category (I forget which taxonomy level it’s at), they’re “lesser” apes. The only species of lesser apes still living too, I think. Not as great as the rest of us apes, apparently

          And that’s me done showing off some of my very basic knowledge of primates

        Their version of universal healthcare is picking the bugs off of each other, and it’s still more than is guaranteed to most Americans.

          I keep trying to get my buddies to do a group groom session after we go disc golfing, but they aren’t interested.

          Back in the ‘90s, my grad student roommate was studying how tanzanian chimps use certain plants only for antiparasitic effect. Quite effective and too small in quantity to be food. Medicine.
