That the animal's who are less intellectual than us manage to not kill each other and live in harmony and we're yet to learn how to do that lol.


Do you really think that?

Humans and perhaps chimpanzees and a few others are the only ones with the concept of helping people for no reason other than compassion.

I hope your definition of "living in harmony" isn't lawless barbarism, which is the state of most of the natural world.

The most embarrassing part of being human is knowing that a chimp-like ape features in your own family tree, less than a million generations ago.
Having other people hear you use the toilet. :emo: I JUST CAN'T.

Well it's not particularly, but if I had to choose one thing it would probably be that.

I actually started in Year 8 but as soon as I started doing exams then they always happened during exam days

Fair enough, personally I think that's one of the least embarrassing things about being human. It's amazing to thing that we are a product of billions of years of mistakes and chances that are all so improbable that when you add the probability together the existence of humans is virtually impossible. But here we are.

You could take us back waaay further than apes - we were fish at one point.
When youre on yo period and you sneeze or laugh really hard well..ya know

Yeah, and another thing is this: out of all the possible humans that could have been born, how probable that one of them was you?

The animal kingdom isn't actually like that mural in Madagascar, it's a relentless, merciless bloodbath every single day, filled with constant stress and anguish both in avoiding predation and in ensuring it to survive, battling against the elements without shelter or central heating, having your home destroyed by humans...there's nothing harmonious about it and there is a great deal of killing involved

I know, it's incredible when you stop and think about this stuff! Hard to get your head around it, and strange to think about how easily you could just not exist.

It's definitely a riposte to those who say their life has no meaning. :smile:

Couldn't agree with you more, just the fact that we're all alive is amazing. Sometimes I just want to run up to people who look sad and yell BUT YOU EXIST!

That's far from true lol. Humans kill other humans for no reason, animals do it for protection or as part of their food cycles. Animal's don't kill other animal's for pure enjoyment.

Taking a panic attack in public. I don't mean just a little one, I mean the ones where you act as what people would deem as 'crazy' because you scream or run about. I've had a few like that.

Home destroyed...BY HUMANS, are you trying to prove my point or counter it? Im not sure. Did you even read what i said lol
Showing interest in someone and not having them like you back. That and farting. And sharting.

When all three mentioned things occur at once.


Also, when you feel like your period has arrived and is seeping through onto the furniture. Honestly never happened to me but I have often feared it would.
