I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

Do they sing and dance for fun? I mean, even for other animals dancing and singing is part of their mating rituals, so being better than others is beneficial. IMO, this predates not only modern history, but homo sapiens in general.
Porque no los dos?
People forget that we're just animals with a teensy bit more awareness of our instinctual drives; and we have developed terms like "fun" and "love" and "joy" to describe the feeling we get when we engage with those drives successfully.
If a higher-level being were to observe humans dancing in a social situation, they might ask if we're doing it for fun or as part of a mating ritual--neither would really be wrong.
