Oh, shit. Good thing my boss is a chimpanzee.

I mean… a lot of Bonobo behavior would be inappropriate in the workplace.

I dunno, I think an increase in mutual oral activity would help most jobs

Probably less racist than my Gen X conservative boss though. Probably smarter and more efficient too.

Chimpanzees and bonobos are separate species. Your boss cannot help you. You're on your own.

I know. That's what makes my joke good.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Thank you for recognizing I couldn't tell something and pointing me in the right direction. You would make a good bonobo.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 3 points 1 day ago

That may be the case, regardless of species.

So Bonobos have more capacity to judge the topical authority of people than most people do. Very interesting.
