  No, they were trying to kill all the mammals but failed successfully because naked apes love mildly toxic substances for some reason and started mass reproducing them instead.

    Humans prefer pain to boredom, on average. I remember reading about a study where subjects were left alone in a room with a button that shocks themselves (they were warned what it does) and they would eventually shock themselves just because there’s nothing else in the room.

      Maybe I should get a self-shocking device.

        Make sure it has a flared base. Just in case.

      I mean, I’m definitely curious what the shock feels like …

        The fun part is the subjects repeatedly shocked themselves, more often as time went on.

      I wonder if there were two buttons, one for the shock, and another which gives them something more rewarding. I wonder how fast or slow they give up on the more rewarding response because that too becomes boring. I suppose like a song that sounds great at first but you hate it after x times
