    Right? The premise of this meme is dumb, but is Stoke-on-Trent the Florida of England? I feel like this could be a really funny joke and I just don’t know what it is. And I want to know.

      In England the joke is more than the next town over are subhumans. This goes for every town. Sometimes mutually. Think Shellbyville/Springfield rather than Florida man. It’s all just local slander, you could just as easily say Chatham, or Grimsby, or Cornwall.

      It’s not dumb you’re just ignorant of the context.

      Things you dont understand aren’t inherently dumb

        No, that’s a really dumb critique of evolution. Plenty of other people have explained it in this comment section.

          I mean the humans of that time, and the “chimps” of that time. They’ve obviously gone off and had their own evolutionary track, and to my point, done so uncontested.
