Imagine the disaster we could’ve averted if they hadn’t shot Harambe.
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.
Your comment reminded me of this delightful HFY short story.

Thank you for making it an old.reddit link. If I “have” to go to reddit, at least it’s old reddit.
Harambe was not a monkey though
I’m so glad my language doesn’t distinguish between apes and monkeys.
It’s also convenient it shares that one cognate phrase with english
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.
Dag Noorderbuur!
Oh no, you don’t think that’s going to make him more vengeful, do you?
Apes are territorially vigilant and can defend it,but they do not seek out conflict unbidden
I heard if you bring your dick out he leaves you alone.
That’s got a Frank Herbert’s “The White Plague” vibe. A solution for half the population, but what about the other half?
Whip your girl dick out; it ain’t that hard.
But it can be owo
The spirit will accept “Tits out for Harambee” if a dick is unavailable.
but what about the other half?
let thanos have it
You say that like my dick has been put away since Harambee passed.
And you’ve had zero visits from angry Harambee ghost. Keep up the good work.
And now he’s pissed that they called it monkeypox and not gorillapox.
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.
I can’t wait to be 75 years old and hear about Harambe and just instinctively yell ‘DICKS OUT FOR HARAMBE’
“DICKS OUT FOR HARAMBE!”
Grandchild: “there goes his Alzheimer’s again”
Haha imagine the narwhal is still beacon in 50 years 😂😂😂😎
dicks out for the vengeful spectre of harambe

Apes aren’t monkeys.
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!
