There's no such thing as an adolescent silverback. A silverback is a fully mature dominant male. They don't gain the silver coloration until they are mature, so the entire premise is a contradiction in terms.
The Wikipedia article makes exactly one reference to silverbacks, again referring to the leader of the troop. Do the world a favor, check yourself before you talk shit.
I looked it up at first and the phrasings I kept seeing was "species of mountain gorilla" so I assumed that meant it was a specific species. Woke up to the downvotes so I looked a little deeper and found out I was wrong.
Personally I blame Google for not being able to answer concise questions like "is a silverback gorilla a species" but it is what it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Or you could buy gorilla feed from the zoo and mpmd's gorilla mind and gorilla mode. Then after your transformation is complete you take drugs and kill your ex girlfriend.

I once saw him down six chained spicy Italian glizzies without breaking eye contact. Anon’s got this.

Silverbacks are adult male gorillas, not adolescents. I'm beginning to doubt that anon has thought this through at all!

No because this is
classicaloperant conditioning not Pavlovian.Edit: Corrected for my stupid response while exhausted.

Pavlovian conditioning IS classical conditioning: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_conditioning

I think its like every pavlovian is a classical but not every classical is a pavlovian.

This is what happens when I'm posting while exhausted. It's not Pavlovian/classical, it's operant conditioning.

Because a raging silverback gorilla that can bench two tons just isn't enough - it needs to be a swole silverback for it to count.
Some guys really have self-confidence issues.
No wonder even his made up girlfriend dumped him.

I didn't know so I googled it, you're wrong. The species is Mountain Gorilla. Silverbacks are mature male troop leaders:

Bald men are my favorite species. It gets me moist knowing that they can’t get me pregnant.

How? It could be a woman with a woman as an ex, nothing in the post suggests gender.
Methinks projection from you, friend
