Things That Annoy You [v.58]

"But if we evolved from them why are there still monkeys???"

idk why is my fist still there lodged squarely in your stupid face you asinine simpleton

The theory of evolution is that changes would be made to the original species, and the qualities that do nt help it survive are bred out. So, yes, according to that theory, apes should not still be around.

looks at post

immediately regrets decision to check back

floats into sky whilst weeping tears of blood

tears off own face in a fit of anger

whispers unto the void that is not how it even works

weeps at scientific illiteracy

dissolves into a being of pure rage and second-hand embarrassment

Well, excuse me. I'm just going off by what I was taught. I could have just as easily called you a series of names.
You see, that was really kind of rude. I don't appreciate it. Thanks for making me feel like some kind of jerk.


People who use random 'big' words who try to make themselves sound intelligent. Like, this one girl I was talking to yesterday.
'If you want to put them together, then just shove them a little harder. It's not that problematic.'
Really? I mean, really? Please stop, love.

@blackfeather: idk if you saw my response earlier, but the problem with your statement was that even though monkeys and humans share common ancestors, they branched off as two different mutations
saying monkeys/apes shouldnt exist because humans do is like saying wolves shouldnt exist because coyotes and foxes do

its coooooolllddd

Yes, I saw, and thank you. I'm still just going by what I've been taught. I figure since it's all still just a theory, then we leave it at that. It was no need to talk about me like that. (Not you. Harpalyce.)

hey now lets not get our undies in knots

if ur gonna call harp out of all people on her science you should at least maybe know more than her? dis gal knows her stuff lemme tell u

[Harpalyce]

except that's not how it's taught
ever

the idea of evolution is that there are common ancestors

we do not evolve 'from monkeys', we never have evolved 'from monkeys', we never will evolve 'from monkeys'; taxonomy aside, that's just not how evolution works

instead way back there was this primate-ish thing once upon a time and some of the descendants of that primate-thing evolved into, say, great apes like bonobo chimpanzees, and some descendants evolved into us

so people saying "but why are there still monkeys when we evolved from them" is wrong on so many levels it makes me weep tears of blood, because we didn't evolve from monkeys, evolution doesn't work that way, and to boot it's like saying "but if I evolved from my cousin then why does my cousin still exist" THE POINT IS THAT YOU DIDN'T, you don't need to go disprove the existence of your grandmother or something

the fact that someone can apparently be taught this in school and through some failure or multiple failures on down the chain of communication still defend this idea makes me want to tear my own face off and sling it into outer space in pure screeching rage

friends don't let friends butcher scientific concepts
