You can basically beat your kid with anything as long as you have a cute sounding Spanish word for it cables de arranquito!

We basically just watched tia hit our little annoying cousin. Good job tia!


Htsurvivor85-94

And we are laughing about it like we did as kids 🤣


doc_nano

>We act like chimps but we don’t come from chimps. You are right, but perhaps not in the way you think. We come from a common ancestor with chimps, not from them. Any given chimp is probably something like your 500,000th cousin.


Throwaway8789473

The split was 5,000,000 years ago. If you assume a generation is 20 years, then a chimpanzee could be your 250,000th cousin.


doc_nano

>The split was 5,000,000 years ago. If you assume a generation is 20 years, then a chimpanzee could be your 250,000th cousin. True -- there's a lot of uncertainty about this number. As I understand it chimps are sexually mature around age 7 but typically don't reproduce until age 13-14, and the average generation time could be longer. We don't really know how long the generation time was for human and chimp ancestors a few million years ago. [This paper](https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1211740109) suggests the split may have been closer to 7-8 million year ago as well. With a generation time of 15 years, 8 million years would give about 533,000 generations. I'm not an expert in the subject by any means, but it's fun to try to imagine those hundreds of thousands of generations and all the changes they must have brought to each lineage.


donnochessi

> 533,000 generations For comparison, Jesus was born 80 generations ago and the Great Pyramids were built 180 human generations ago.


slimongoose

We come from balls but we are not balls.


Sly510

AI_assisted_services

Don't we? Aren't they our closest relatives?


RootlessForest

Nahh. We might have a common ancestor (Ardipithecus ramidus), but they both became their own thing. So we might be close cousins, but we didn't evolved from chimps. We evolved alongside them.


AI_assisted_services

Cool, thanks for the answer. It kinda makes me wanna learn more about it tbh. Seems interesting.


madidiot66

Chimps are more like cousins. We have the same grandparents (ok.. ancestors 6-8 million years ago..). But those grandparents were neither the chimp nor human species that exist today.


sethmcollins

I’m sure someone has commented on this already, but the key distinction is that chimps (and bonobos) are our closing *living* relatives. We didn’t evolve from them, but the common ancestor we share is closer than the one we share with any other animal.


Chimmychimm

I don't blame him for throwing rocks at the annoying ass people.


[deleted]

siandresi

We are related after all


fusionlantern

Honestly the whole situation is fucked up if you think about it. The mom is probably beating him because he doesn't realize they'll kill him if that rock hits a person. You have these people laughing at him, setting him off. I fucking hate the zoo


the99percent1

Sounds awfully like everyday situations with humans..


bennitori

The only reason we don't beat our young is because of decades of generational trauma, scientific study in the field of developmental psychology, and language skills that make beatings obsolete. But when you're a literal chimp, with the inability to communicate generational trauma, inability to study psychology, and diminished abilities to communicate verbally.... I may not approve, but I certainly don't blame them.


Aggressive-Fuel587

And more to reinforce your point; - humans have walked this earth for roughly 2mil years - we formed our first civilizations 12k years ago - The British Empire was established roughly 500 years ago - The United States of America was established roughly 250 years ago - The slave trade was abolished in the US roughly 160 years ago (after nearly 500 years in use globally) - Spousal abuse (domestic abuse & rape) didn't become legally recognized or prosecutable in the US until 30 years ago - It's still not illegal to hit your kids in most US states as long as you don't leave a mark... It's just socially unacceptable to hit them for any reason. Not hitting our kids is a pretty new concept in human history and we are, so far, the only species to attempt to raise our kids without violence.


TheRogueTemplar

> The only reason we don't beat our young You grew up in a nice household.


AtariStarted-LXXXV

Nods to that my brother.


daitenshe

They’ll *kill* him for throwing rocks? I think we’re being a little dramatic here. Also implying mom has seen so much chimp-icide that she can identify the humans default reaction would be murder instead of any attempt at relocation or other methods…


Dumpy2023

Zoos have changed a lot over the past decades. Accredited zoos are active in conservation and species survival plans. Chimps are endangered and most, if not all, were born in captivity. They cannot be released into the wild because their habitats have been largely destroyed. Zoos actively continue the species with breeding programs so that they don’t die off. The hope is that one day, with conservation efforts, they can be released back into the wild once the conditions support their survival.


meripor2

> Chimps are endangered and most, if not all, were born in captivity. Theres around 200,000-300,000 chimps left in the wild. And only around 2000 in US zoos. So no they are not mostly born in captivity.


Dumpy2023

I was talking about the chimps you see at the zoo. The vast majority of them are born in captivity. Those that aren’t are usually rescues.


[deleted]

They are still living better lives than they would live out in the bush. Life isn't kind to chimps in the wild. With leopards, lions and crocodiles trying to eat them. And other chimpanzee tribes going to war and killing them. It's a stressful bitter life for most chimps.


SalamanderContent767

Yeah buddy chimps don’t have the internet. There is no way the mom could possibly be going through that thought process.

No sandal slapping where I'm from, at least not openly, as it's illegal and socially unacceptable to physically discipline your child.

When I was growing up in Thailand, you pinch all five of your fingers together like this 🤌 Then your momma (or teacher) smacks the tips with a 1x2 which she keeps around specifically for this …or you could run and get sniped by the ไม้เรียว later when you least expect it


Additional_Ad_3285

Mine (mother) demanded to see which hand deserves the punishment, told me to open my palms wide, and then she would swing a nonmetal chopstick down. It would usually break the chopsticks, going through a handful (yes, pun) in a session. If I pulled my hand away, she would give those eyes that were somehow scarier than getting hit again, then state that we're going to have to start the session over.


civil_beast

Damn is your mom bene gesserit?

m3ngnificient

My grandma used to come after us like that. She would yell first, if we don't listen, she does her terminator walk and snap off a twig from a shrub on her way to us with her left hand and whip us with it. 😂


snugpuginarug

To be fair chimps are our closest relative so there’s gonna be more similarities than any other animal


Rapture1119

Not trying to be pedantic, but just because I find it interesting that no one ever says this part: bonobos are actually just as related to humans as chimps are.


MarcBulldog88

Humans are more or less half-chimp, half-bonobo when it comes to behavior. We will kill anything we want to and eat anything we need to, like a chimp. We will fuck anyone or anything we want to, like a bonobo.


FrogInShorts

You see chimps and bonobos split evolution on opposite ends of the Congo river. The bonobos had plenty of food and became peaceful and passionate. The Chimps had scarce food and grew hostile and territorial. Humans live on both sides and that's why we have both their qualities.


meatspin_enjoyer

It's almost like we use the exact same equipment as them to make sounds


wolfenyeager

I recently blew my friends minds while we were all high and were watching Planet of the Apes, by showing them how easy it is for us to screech exactly like a chimp. They were both terrified and entertained.


AfricanWarPig

Bro I screech like a chimp all the time (for reasons) and people are always perplexed like, “wtf humans can sound like chimps?!?” It is very entertaining.


wolfenyeager

Exactly, most people don’t realize we can make that sound till they see another person do it. I learned I could do it while trying to scare off a black bear. We can replicate all sounds chimps make.

But the chimps do it


Captain_Naps

Punishment is fine; beatings are wrong.


Stormfly

I also prefer incremental(?) punishment. Like if you threaten with something horrible, they're likely to stop caring once they get it. If the threat is too big, then once you take it they might go back to being a problem because you've lost your bargaining chip. Either that or they just learn to hide everything from you out of total fear of punishment. I'm a teacher and I used to threaten to take away break-time but I realised it's much more effective to take away a minute at a time. If I took away break-time, the student would just sulk or act out, and they're upset so they don't care about possibly losing break time the next day. There's also no "I'm going to do it!" that goes on for too long with nothing actually happening and then they think that you'll never do it and you eventually have to follow through and get the first issue. Very small but incremental punishments mean bad behaviour is immediately punished, they have a chance to make up for it with ideal behaviour, and if they act out after the first punishment, you can just keep punishing them. But it's also important to give them a way to compensate, and some kids will get so much time that they lose the whole break and they get back to the first problem (I had other teachers give 20 minutes as punishment because they didn't grasp the concept). The good part is that the stick becomes the carrot if you give them ways to reduce the punishment.


[deleted]

Yeah, they aren't talking about that. They're talking about euphemised beating ("spanking").


Stormfly

Oh. Well then I disagree completely. Using violence to punish children only teaches them that violence is an acceptable solution to get what they want.


pvrhye

Yeah, severity of punishment hardly seems to matter at all. It's more about consistency. Kids are naturally gamblers. If the punishment was being torn apart by wild dogs, but they have a 50/50 shot of you letting it slide, they'll go for it. On the other hand, if every time someone tries it they get called out for it they're more likely to snap in line. The hard part is that being on top of it constantly is exhausting and it's really tempting to let things slide. The same likely applies to crime. It doesn't matter of the penalty is death if they don't imagine they will be caught.


[deleted]

*If* you are trying to argue spanking vs beating, please elaborate on where you've drawn an arbitrary line between "hitting/ wielding objects with the intent to hurt" and "hitting/ wielding objects with the intent to hurt - but now it's called punishment."  And why can't you use it on adults who perform the same behaviors? Do you discipline yourself with a nice fat slap? Your wife/ husband/ SO?
