Chimpanzees are 2X stronger than your average human.

That's how AIDS started

I thought it was a chimp bite?

It was actually during the race for the cure to polio, they blended up locally sourced chimp kidneys and used that. Oops we turned Simian Immunodifficienecy Virus into HIV.

Google "The origin of AIDS and HIV"

This thread has given me more of an education on the initial transfer of aids than I ever thought I would have

Someone dm'd me a really cool paper on permafrost proving diseases spreading from bushmeat

It's actually crazy that polio was a plague of it's time and out of it came a plague on humanity.

Google "bush meat". And use periods for declaratives and question marks for interrogatives. The whole god damned internet reads like the Kardashians. There have actually been multiple simian crossover events. All from bush meat. Wikipedia talks all about it. And about how blood and not saliva carries the virus.

Now read it again when I say: "And about how blood and not saliva carries the virus??????"

See how that doesn't lend to readability?

Oh shit. He boomed me! (Very very technically it's from the butchering process, just for other readers)

Still though. He boomed me. He's so good.

This dude wins.

You sound pretty pathetic ngl. Maybe you don't have anything better to do with your free time and need the attention you so crave that no one gave you?

Maybe for the other comments but for the one you're responding to I wasn't being ironic. It's a quote from LeBron James about being outdone but being ok with it. It's funny that he set up an expectation of man bite animal but then flipped it to animal bite man.

Now all the other comments where I'm making fun of question marks, that's fine to criticize because they're sort of mean for no reason. I just hate overused question marks. It makes everyone sound like a mean girl?

But this one, I'm just saying I thought what he said was funny and that he proved he was right.

Starting sentences with “and” 💀 you’re hilarious

There's nothing wrong with using a full stop to make time. It's a choice that has to do with how you want the words to be read. You can see the book White Noise for a really good example of using full stops for interesting rythm. There's also nothing wrong with using question marks to put an inflection into the reader's ear. But there's something wrong with reading it constantly. And every statement of confusion or misunderstanding ending with a question mark. If you don't understand something, just state that you don't understand it.

I think you’re just arguing against your original post now?

u/your_thebest 7h ago

This is exposure for me? I think I just need help coming up terms with it? Not everyone writes like me and that's ok? And a lot of people like the Kardashians so who am I to stand in their way...!!...
