Humans are apes numb nuts
Shhh we almost got Matt to suck a bunch of dick
you would be surprised how often i've needed this
I... Love it. Thank you
Matt Walsh is religious if I'm not mistaken. And religious folks really don't think we're apes and get offended for saying so because it goes against the Abrahamic teaching that god made us. I remember saying to a religious fanatic that we are apes and she called me an ape but i was like: "Yeah, we are. That's what I'm telling you." Admitting that we are apes and thus animals would mean discarding the idea that humans have dominion on nature and animals as stated in the bible. And there is nothing worse for the religious (humans in general) than losing dominance.
If I remember correctly from a taxonomy point of view humans aren't technically apes since we broke off from the ape branch. Homo sapiens and all the other earlier humans are descended from a common ancestor that broke off from the ape common line. Think how foxes broke off from wolves which then went on to become dogs.
We are still considered apes but in the hominid Branch, which include chimpanzees, gorillas and us.
haha jokes on you all my nuts are truck nuts.
wait that makes all my trucks trans
