Bonobos have it all figured out.
Something scary happened a few trees over? Sex!
A logging vehicle spotted in the distance? Giggity!
Little timmy fell down the well? ❤️
Some hairless ape left an empty cardboard box on the ground? Cue the porn groove.
Chimpanzees encroaching on you territory? Let's outbreed them!

EDIT: The downvotes are from chimpanzees.

I wonder how they have time to accomplish anything else in life

I also wonder how long their refractory period is.

both species live in social groups that exhibit both sexual and violent behaviors.

Mafuckas read 'Sex at Dawn' and think they got it all figured out. And then they try to get their friends to swing with them.

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Or read Palahniuk and want their friends to swing on them.

There's probably some MF DOOM lines that'd fit with that

Violent sex

Problem solved

Instructions unclear, Slaanesh is telling me to use more car battery clamps, they aren't specifying how or what to use them for

Given that free love experiments have generally failed in human history, while limitless violence experiments are a roaring success, I think I know which way humans have gone.

Bonobos, knowing that ACAB, didn't have a CIA to invent HIV.

Everyone belongs to everyone.

It's funny because it's true?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Well, it's not really true. Both of those descriptions are highly flawed.

[–] yetiftw@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

that's half of the joke, good job!

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I had bonobos confused with gibbons for a few hours, so I think that's why it didn't match up right for me.

[–] Furball@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Both, but it doesn’t work
