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

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 50 points 8 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] ChilledPeppers@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

The name of the kid: Shakespeare

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 8 points 8 months ago

Not on a typewriter though. Task failed successfully.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 30 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Pretty sure some other monkey did tho

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

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

We're apes though.

Great ones even!

[–] Pegajace@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 4 points 8 months 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 19 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months 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 7 points 8 months ago

You are factually correct, the best kind of correct!

One of us even wrote:

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times.

One of us even wrote this!

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

As the saying goes

An infinite number of multicellular organisms with an infinite number of writing utensils will eventually reproduce a recognizable literary work

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

A more pithier way of putting it is that we are the universe experiencing itself.

[–] HKPiax@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

The monkeys are really the friends we make along the way

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

A monkey wrote Hamlet. It got mediocre reviews.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It was the BLURST OF TIMES?!?

We're apes, not monkeys, though.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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

e: sorry, old, not new

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

simiiformes / simians

And you don't start sentences with capital letters.

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

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Or to write some WORDS completely in CAPITAL letters to CREATE disgusting CLICKBAIT titles.

Not endless, i guarantee it.

We were there, monkeys all along. Or we were their monkeys all along. I'm so confused. This sentence makes no sense. My grammar sucks and i can't even work this out.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Oh, my God, I was wrong, It was Earth all along!
