It's called "corpse". Often riddled with diseases.

I remember a documentary about a famous northwest passage expedition that was never seen again. One of the inuit people they talked to during an investigation claimed they found a boat, and in the captain's quarters they found a body in the bed with a big smile on its face. That would be absolutely terrifying, but apparently that's what naturally happens to corpses when their lips and gums receed.

"Oh for just one time, I would take the Northwest Passage..."

Damn, got to listen to it now…

You've just ruined my night. I screamed. My phone was like an inch from my face and I was all tucked into bed. That triggered something primaly unsettling for me. Thank you

[-] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

You're welcome.

At least he died happy

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago

maybe hairless chimps too. Those things are crazy

[-] drolex@sopuli.xyz 26 points 1 month ago

They will rip your dick out, Jamie send that video of jacked hairless chimps

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Your dick, your face... they'll pretty much, as we say in my corner of the world, "Fuck your shit up"

Now, imagine the violence early human bought upon early chimps to become the dominant species but also make them shy away from us.

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

There's a difference between a few humans throwing some rocks at something's head and poking it with a sharp stick and what chimps do.

[-] Ragnarok314159@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

I think you missed the proverbial point. We likely slaughtered the chimps and put their heads on pikes. Chimps have nothing on the violence humans are capable of inflicting.

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

In scale? Yes. In brutality? Go look up chimp attacks.

Yeah the context is that many indigenous people depended on the buffalo for food.

It was basically the same as when Israel pours concrete down wells and burns olive groves that took centuries to get that productive. They knew for every buffalo they killed, an indian would starve.

That image is similar to the rooms full of luggage in Auschwitz in what it represents.

Chimps kicked our weak asses off the trees. They should regret how that turned out for them.

[-] Amanuet@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

You're right though, as soon as someone dies, there's something not right at all about how they look. They don't look asleep, they look uncanny valley.

It also covers those who are not biologically fit to be mates. Various conditions can appear as physical traits.

[-] Dippy@beehaw.org 6 points 1 month ago

Or perhaps whatever animal killed your friend is still nearby. Maybe it's still hungry, or maybe it feels it's territory is still underappreciated.

[-] Baizey@feddit.dk 1 points 1 month ago

Its territory is underappreciated?

[-] Dippy@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, some asshole walks through your territory, doesn't seem like it's being appreciated that the territory is yours

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

There might be a monster with hurt fee fees in the bushes
