Let me get this straight: once your adult humans get too old to be useful, you just put them in a communal hive, force them into embarrassing but basically harmless shenanigans for a cheap laugh or two, and let them stay there to die? Is that really what humans do?

Just the ones whose kids are useless deadbeats.

Most of the time, yeah. Humans haven't always got the whole 'taking care of each other' thing mastered.

Well by the time they get that old, they're too tough and stringy to eat.

And everyone enjoys a good laugh.

Not everyone does that! I am pretty sure my Nanna lived with my dad in our house until she died.

[kid_apocalypse]

Sometimes. But sometimes they still try to work and be useful. My Ma and Pa were both really old, and they lived at home with me until I left.

It depends on the culture - in some, it would be deeply shameful to not take care of your aging relatives yourself, as they provided for you in the past.
