Wasn’t aware of the comedy archeologists around here
Nice find
Maybe from the 9GAG era?
At least two of those are dolls. And the “shimpanza” is an orangutan.
Owl is a doll.
Here’s a baby Saw Whet Owl, one of my fav owl babies.
Thank you. I was just thinking how that looks nothing like a shimpanza. Maybe they were thinking of a shrimp panzer?
Human infants are born significantly earlier in their gestational period than all these other animals. That’s why these other animals can usually walk around at birth, where human babies are sacks of potatoes for months
Compared to newborn marsupials we’re cutie-patooties.
And now here’s a picture of a baby human that’s not deliberately off-putting: https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/540d901c-2cbf-47d6-94c8-fd4ed2311795.jpeg
*Sidenote: It’s depressing how many slopified baby pictures are out there now. I think this one’s real, but who fucking knows anymore.
A little explanation: “pics” (e.g. reddit’s r/pics) communities are full of incredible idiotic things like this. Thoughtless, mindless, uneducated and vapid, empty tendentious shit.
But there’s something worse than people who create this brain rot. It’s the bot-human hybrid fucks who gobble it up and actually post something that says “shimpanza” below an orangutan.
Human babies are all born premature because of their heads
Does anyone really think baby chimps are cute? They look like giant disfigured geriatric coconuts.
there’s no baby chimp in this pic
Chimps creep me out, even the baby ones
I think baby primates of nearly all varieties are adorable, personally. I got to hold a baby spider monkey at an animal sanctuary nearby and omg, it was the best! I just like primates in general. They are a fascinating glimpse of close but not quite familiar.
I wonder if dogs see other dog breeds that way, or if they are just used to the diversity.
I didn’t think a newborn bear could really be that small, but apparently bears are actually born extremely tiny relative to their adult size, with a newborn polar bear weighing only about one pound!
You could just find cute pictures of baby humans as well…
I often wonder if we’re being instinctual pressured to find children unappealing given limited resources (albeit artificial limit) and overpopulation.
I don’t think it’s anything that remotely “kind”. I think it’s an attempt to further the wealth divide using intelligence as a proxy to try and perpetuate a more easily controlled populace.
If you want an easily controlled populace, wouldn’t you want to increase the amount of intelligent people opting out of perpetuating their intelligence? Wouldn’t you want more of the type of person who would have a kid by accident?
I get that intelligence propagates through teaching, adopting is a thing, etc, but I’m talking broad strokes here.
I’ll fully admit it’s conspiracy minded as all hell and awful close to “race replacement” bullshit (get me a vomit bag please). I just look at the type of people who are choosing to not have kids lately and go “but you’re the exact type of people who are being a wonderful thorn in the side of the billionaires! We need more of you!”
So get teaching. Go be a community role model. Make sure you spread the knowledge and amti-establishment attitude even if you don’t have crotch goblins.
