This is true, there are two kinds of animal, monkey or ape. Because if it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey, even if it's a monkey kinda shape. If it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey, if it doesn't have a tail...it's an ape!

Or at least that's what I learned from my parents force feeding me nothing but VeggieTales for far too long.

Yup, that's correct! Primates without tails are apes, and we're a primate without a tail.

[-] StephniBefni@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well what they applied the example to was a cow, citing that due to its tail out was a monkey of course lol. But yeah it does apply to primates for sure. Also a notable example is in Pokémon where you have mankey who evolves into primeape and loses their tail in the process. Of course this also kind of implies that apes are just angrier, stronger monkeys.

Also completely unrelated to our conversation, but relevant to your username...Metriod is my absolute favorite gaming series, Metriod Prime is amazing, and I always wanted to be Samus when I grew up.

Super Metroid is my jam, but I like the Prime series as well. Hopefully 4 will release someday!

One of these years hopefully, until then I'll keep playing through dread and the prime remaster.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I was disappointed by Dread. Far too much focus on twitch reflexes compared to any other Metroid game. At least it wasn't Other M, though!

[-] StephniBefni@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I enjoyed dread, I mean i wouldnt say its my favorite, but i has a good time with is. It was also nice to have some fresh content after so many years, I didn't think it was particularly anymore focused on twitch reflexes than the other games, especially compared to the return of Samus remake. But idk, I mean everyone is different, I'm sorry you were dissapointed.

And yeah, at least is wasn't 'Other M' I mean that game isn't even officially Canon anymore.
