Humans? Legendary assholes.
Dolphins? Assholes.
Cats are notorious for being jerks.Dogs, ducks, geese, seagulls, crows...all have dickish individuals.
What're some species that would be least likely to solve a crossword puzzle, but still produce a significant percentage of assholes?
Like are there any shrimp out there that are just little fuckers?
@alice Wolverines and badgers are notorious assholes...they don't seem particularly bright to me (but then again, I'm probably speciest)
What about Octopuses and other types of cuttlefish? They seem to be pretty smart and don't seem to be *particularly* assholish.

@alice Wasps are jerks. Total sociopaths.
@mattblaze @alice especially with regard to bees

One summer while I was wearing shorts, I had a big hornet fly over, bite into the side of my thigh and then proceed to sting me like half a dozen times for no apparent reason.
I feel like hornets, wasps, and yellow jackets are all pretty much raging assholes.

@MRutenberg @mattblaze @alice
Bees are chill. You leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. Wasps will sting you just because you failed to cross the street when you walked by them. Total jerks. -

@tompearce49 but are they jerks or do they just have the capacity to punch things?
-
@alice - The peacock mantis shrimp: https://asknature.org/strategy/appendage-creates-tremendous-forces/
@tompearce49 @alice Yes. An animal with three names of other animals, all of which it isn’t. Rude before you even meet one.

@alice Hornets *especially*. I can usually just ignore a wasp but a hornet is just gonna do as much damage as it can because it hates everything (but mostly me).

@alice What about crows and ravens? Are they assholes on purpose or just annoying to humans?
