Not just hamlet but the entire body of works accredited to Shakespeare
damn, that monkey must be pretty prolific, perhaps even rivaling Shakespeare! Do we know their name?
The name of the kid: Shakespeare
and everymonkey clapped.
I thought they were written by a Klingon.
We also drew dickibutt
Yeah and all by one monkey.
Not on a typewriter though. Task failed successfully.
If you’re paying, I’ll rewrite it on a typewriter for you.
Someone must have written hamlet on a typewriter at some point
One of us even wrote:
It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times.
One of us even wrote this!
The monkeys are really the friends we make along the way
Not endless, i guarantee it.
We’re apes, not monkeys, though.
We’re both. Apes are a subset of old world monkeys.
e: sorry, old, not new
And you don’t start sentences with capital letters.
nO I d’ont.
You rebel
I mean it’s better than capitalizing Random Words because you think it Looks Cool and it will Make America Great Again!
Or to write some WORDS completely in CAPITAL letters to CREATE disgusting CLICKBAIT titles.
A monkey wrote Hamlet. It got mediocre reviews.
It was the BLURST OF TIMES?!?
Unexpected Simpsons reference
Totally expected Simpsons reference…
We’re apes though.
Great ones even!
Apes are monkeys, in the same sense that humans are apes.
I’m not entirely sure that statement is correct, but it’s been a while since I took any anthropology courses…
Edit: I was wrong and remembered the tree incorrectly.
It is correct. I’ve been corrected on this before and did the research to discover I was wrong. Humans are Monkeys.
We’re old world monkeys a little more specifically, you can tell partly by our lack of tails
Yeah, looks like I was mistaken.
Good on you for realizing it. It was difficult for me to admit I was wrong when it happened to me as well, so I feel your confusion/pain :)
Nothing wrong with learning.
Didn’t some math nerd prove that they would need more time than exists in the universe to make this happen?
No. They proved it would take a finite number of monkeys longer than there is time in the universe. Not sure what the point of that paper was, since the theory involved an infinite number of monkeys.
They obviously weren’t very good at math if it already happened.
Did the monkeys do it? Or Shakespeare?
It’s been calculated many times, and yes, it would take an absurdly long amount of time, and that’s the point. When dealing with infinities, time is irrelevant, whether you have infinite monkeys or one monkey and infinite time, they will still both do every possible thing a monkey could do.
In fact, infinite monkeys would not only write Hamlet, they would write it instantly, an infinite number of times, and in all possible languages, as well as the possible sequel where Marvel’s Blade shows up to fight vampires. Instantly.
Good luck finding them though.
puts down small mammal
This llama is right!
Hamlet is a remake of and Old Norse legend Amleth.

George “Let’s ignore half of history, take a superficial misrepresentation of the other half, sprinkle some sexual violence and betrayal over it all, then let everyone claim it’s historically accurate” R.R. “The Dothraki were actually fashioned as an amalgam of racist stereotypes I didn’t bother doing even the least bit of research on, but will pretend were an actual historical inspiration” Martin?
Not throwing shade on GoT as a work of fiction, mind, as long as people are aware that it’s solidly in the realm of fiction. Its popularity alone attests to its literary quality. A piece of fiction doesn’t need to be true to reality to be good (that’s the point of fiction, isn’t it?).
You do have to consider that the two unwritten books have the capability of affecting the previous books. Its hard to say that its a great series at this point in time, at least in my opinion. It definitely could be, I’m hoping someone with a better work ethic will take over when GRRM passes on.
They only have such a chance if they are every written, and I doubt they will be
Would you say its great if it ends as is? I’d have to look it up but they were in the middle of it from what I recall.
I suppose that would leave the tv shows ending to stand as the official-ish ending though wouldnt it?
I would love it if the books were written, there are several things I want to see resolved
As the saying goes
An infinite number of multicellular organisms with an infinite number of writing utensils will eventually reproduce a recognizable literary work
A more pithier way of putting it is that we are the universe experiencing itself.
Oh, my God, I was wrong, It was Earth all along!
The whole premise of the analogy is that the typed characters are random, which is why the animal in it is one that doesn’t understand written English. The point being that over an infinite amount of time, even totally random typing will, by definition, eventually produce any specified sequence.
OOP doesn’t get it, nor does anyone who finds this clever.
Struck a nerve, huh?
It’s like writing a joke based on the premise that exercise makes you gain weight. It doesn’t, so any joke based on that is going to fall flat, except for people who think it does, lol.
You spend calories (energy) on exercises and therefore loose weigh (mass) in that process immediately. But that process also breaks protein molecules in your muscles and in heavier workloads it results in your body rebuilding those muscles with sort of muscle scars that will get bigger than the original muscles was and that will eventually lead to weight gain in longer time span. Or do you deny the existence of bodybuilding entirely?
You must be so fucking fun at parties.
I am, because my jokes are actually good, since I know how to actually construct a good joke, lol.
I bet, great story man. Hey I’ll be right back I just need to go grab a drink, catch you in a second…
How mad you are is 10x funnier than the OOP, lol.
There is nobody here that doesn’t understand the premise of the original thought… It does not invalidate a joke about evolved monkeys.
This is shitposts, relax
