I find it even more annoying when they refuse to use their hearing aids. It’s not my problem if they can’t read the newspaper, but repeating every sentence because they need two attempts to understand it… aAaAAAaahh!

I find it way more unnerving when the floor near (or sometimes not near) elevators stars shaking. Why does that happen? The elevator is obviously not connected to the floor‽

The Hominidae, whose members are known as the great apes are a taxonomic family of primates that includes […] orangutan[s]; Gorilla[s …]; […] the chimpanzee and the bonobo; and Homo, of which only modern humans (Homo sapiens) remain.

Apes [are] collectively [called] Hominoidea […] There are two extant branches of the superfamily Hominoidea: the gibbons […]; and the [great apes …]

You’re right in that humans are apes taxonomically. What I was trying to contradict was the misconception according to which the type of apes we see today got somehow “frozen” evolutionary some time ago, but that some of their descendents evolved to become human.

Even non-Christian-nutjobs get this wrong, so let me spell it out: Humans didn’t evolve from apes. Humans evolved with apes from a common ancestor.

No? Have you never been in a group of drinkers while staying sober yourself. Heck, have you never even met such a person?

You know what? If it takes more than 5 minutes, go see a doctor. You’ll bleed to death in days.

If it takes days for your platelets to close a wound, go see a doctor.

“Hey, guess what, I got free text messages now.”

3 days later I contemplate blocking them.

Clean code, extensive documentation, help files and readmes aren’t supposed to prevent you from forgetting how it works. I’m not sure what you’re trying to tell me with the second half of this meme.

I fully agree with your sentiment. But just in case: If you’re blocking the main thread of a browser for seconds at a time, you should look into that.
