I voted for him, because he says it like it is!

And he's not just a talker! Remember when he ripped his opponents' dicks off during the TV debate? Finally someone with some guts

While Nim was in New York, Terrace believed he was learning sign language. But in reviewing the data, Terrace came to a conclusion that surprised almost everyone involved: Nim, he said, was not using language at all. Terrace said that he changed his mind when watching videotapes of Nim (in his classroom). Language requires the use of sentences, and Nim didn't use sentences. Though Nim recognized and used signs, Terrace said he did not initiate conversation. When Nim combined signs, they tended to be highly repetitive and filled with "wild cards"—words like ME, HUG, NIM, and MORE. For example, Nim's longest utterance, 16 signs, was: "Give orange me give eat orange me eat orange give me eat orange give me you." The videotapes, Terrace argued, proved that Nim mimicked his teachers and used signs strictly to get a reward, not unlike a dog or horse.

Chimps can't use grammar, but bonobos can play minecraft.

I taught an ape to play Minecraft

The moment from the video that really convinced Me that Kanzi understood the game was when Kanzi was playing online with a human, and the human picked up an item that Kanzi wanted. And Kanzi went apeshit! He got really upset that the human had stolen his item in the game. An emotional reaction like that is only possible if you understand the game.

Far more articulate than the horrors currently infesting the white house.

American optimism will never cease to amaze me. Hope for a better government like Mr. Chimpo here, in the face of adversity is inspiring.

Actual quote from current POTUS

[–] pipe01@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

I don't think he can make sentences that long

[–] Klear@quokk.au 7 points 2 days ago

Nah, that's a quote from his followers.
