Sure, but there are much more prominent clues that the end times are pretty much here, so I don’t see the point of this one.
Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:
Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.
I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”
I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

Does he hunt spiders, or is he a spider who hunts? 'Cause I was taught spiders were our friends considering they prey upon annoying insects.

2·1 day agoI don’t know you, so the only thing I had to go on was your comment - and judging from other comments here, you’re far from the only one thrown off by the community name, so it’s not something to attack anyway, IMHO.
Attacking people isn’t really my thing, anyway. At least it wasn’t. I have to admit I’m so bitterly angry about the insane progression of destruction which selfish & self-righteous right-wingers have been causing in the world that I’m much more easily triggered than I used to be.
Bad dad jokes seem to have become my outlet for the extreme levels of anger, disgust, and depression it’s all caused me to feel. I’m sorry if this one made you feel attacked as that was not my intention.
ETA: gonna go now before I step my foot in… ahem …shit again.

2·1 day agoWhen
theyyou said “…my dyslexic ass just realized…”, it made me envisiontheiryour ass doing the thinking. If the ass is functioning astheiryour head, then the brains inside the “head” are made of shit.That was more or less the train of thought I had. I really didn’t mean offense - I figured fans of The Onion would be less likely to take such comments seriously, but I guess I read the room wrong.

Guessing that means you have a classic case of shit for brains?
Edit: for the downvoters, this was a dad joke - not intended as an insult, but if you’re too straight-laced to see that, I guess I can get why you don’t like it. That’s fine - I’ll admit bad Dad jokes are sometimes an acquired taste.
