Not just hamlet but the entire body of works accredited to Shakespeare

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 61 points 2 years ago (4 children)

damn, that monkey must be pretty prolific, perhaps even rivaling Shakespeare! Do we know their name?

[–] ChilledPeppers@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The name of the kid: Shakespeare

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 10 points 2 years ago

We're apes though.

Great ones even!

[–] Pegajace@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Apes are monkeys, in the same sense that humans are apes.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm not entirely sure that statement is correct, but it's been a while since I took any anthropology courses...

Edit: I was wrong and remembered the tree incorrectly.

[–] Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Family tree of primates. As you can see, old world monkeys and new world monkeys share their last common ancestor with the apes. That means that phylogenetically, that if they are both monkeys, then so are all the apes.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 7 points 2 years ago

You are factually correct, the best kind of correct!

One of us even wrote:

One of us even wrote this!

The monkeys are really the friends we make along the way

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As the saying goes

An infinite number of multicellular organisms with an infinite number of writing utensils will eventually reproduce a recognizable literary work

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

A more pithier way of putting it is that we are the universe experiencing itself.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A monkey wrote Hamlet. It got mediocre reviews.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It was the BLURST OF TIMES?!?

We're apes, not monkeys, though.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

We’re both. Apes are a subset of old world monkeys.

e: sorry, old, not new

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I mean it's better than capitalizing Random Words because you think it Looks Cool and it will Make America Great Again!

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Or to write some WORDS completely in CAPITAL letters to CREATE disgusting CLICKBAIT titles.

Not endless, i guarantee it.

Didn't some math nerd prove that they would need more time than exists in the universe to make this happen?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

No. They proved it would take a finite number of monkeys longer than there is time in the universe. Not sure what the point of that paper was, since the theory involved an infinite number of monkeys.

[–] spicehoarder@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They obviously weren't very good at math if it already happened.
