It would also seem that the article's existence violates Wikipedia's "no conflicts of interest" policy and the entire list of sources violates the "no self-published sources" rule. I propose the article be deleted. Thoughts?
I get the joke, but the sources aren't self-published. They're published by an instance other than the author and that's good enough, that's what the selfâpublishing rule is about.
The COI can hardly apply to members of a fairly broad group writing about the group. By that logic, Americans shouldn't write about the USA, only gay people could write about heterosexuality, etc.
Conflict of interest (COI) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia articles about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships.
They're published by an instance other than the author
We're still doing the "individuality" thing? "Oooh I'm a separate entity than other humans" smh. All articles are published by the universe, about the universe. But the universe also owns that site, so it's not like anyone can do something about it...
I think it is relatively humble, writing an article about your species and listing hairlessness and bipedalism as your most distinguishing features. I mean which species does that?
My younger cousin got in a stare fight with a chimpanzee at the zoo. That fucker (my cousin) kept making eye contact and imitating the ape's body language. We kept telling him to at least look away because the ape was getting mad but, uh, he thought angering the ape was funny. Next thing I know it kicked four or six inch thick iunno plexiglass and that shook at least four or six inches. Vibrated something fierce. Dude was strong as fuck. Which apparently did not scare nephew because he wanted to get the ape to do it again. We managed to respect him too the polar bear, which we told him sometimes shat in the water. That was his idea of fun at the zoo I did and do not understand that child.

I swear I'm not this insufferably unfunny most of the time.

This is why I only generate text using a randomiser based on the detection of energy released from virtual particle pair annihilations.

Writing a wikipedia article about themselves is another distinguishing feature of humans.

Naked, walking on two legs, brain with just the right power to write memeable Wiki articles. Stick the medal right here please

Clearly we need more species diversity in Wikipedia editors.

I now and then "let" my cat write on the keyboard, but he's always rejected for some obscure claim like "illegible".

Do other apes hate us?

Apes scare me. Chimpanzee are aggressive little fuckers. New world primates can be pretty cute though.
FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · 7 pts · 263d
They can be tolerant of humans, but they've also been known to hunt and eat humans.
Una@europe.pub · 11 pts · 263d
So, not much different then us humans.

Wait. Which ape eats humans?
FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · 4 pts · 263d
Chimpanzees and Humans have both been documented to hunt and eat Humans and Chimpanzees.
Gorillas, on the other hand, have a more plant-based diet and are generally less aggressive, there are few to no cases of them killing humans AFAIK.

TBF, I'm sure the person who wrote the article probably doesn't consider high intelligence as a compliment, moreso a curse.
