If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands. 👏🏾

[OscarLangleySoryu]

I never thought something like applause would have an origin myth. Awesome!!!

Thanks Jon Solo 👏

[afreakaboucher]

Gave other humans the "clap" 😂😂😂😂😂

"Arms are just decorations. The act of applause is an acclamation of the soul."

Todo

Maybe we clap because... We ARE the apes in captivity!

[DJCMORE]

Hope you're feeling well, love your videos. They teach me alot about Greek Mythology

[Amusingmuse]

Follow up question: who was the first person to call gonorrhea 'the clap' 🤔

[FuzzyFoot]

I choose to believe that the last one is the correct one.

[SlyFrye]

This is definitely something I haven't been thinking about but now seeing it show up in my shorts feed definitely got me curious

[eiriniamaniti]

Also, krotos (κρότος) in Greek means loud noise. 😊

POV: Jon had this shower thought enter his head and decided he could use it as a business write-off.

[darthsinniious]

I ain't clapping hands. I'm clapping cheeks. 🍑

[Gentlemenpickleesq.]

It was me! I was the first clapper! I'll take my royalty check now.

Clapping is a percussion so it makes sense to add to music

[wildchild]

Makes sense to me, we were made to worship God

[tobycat]

Ancient Greek clapped with palm leaves, not hands, therefore clapping

[malak..nightly]

Literally he did that because he couldn't take it but completely keep clapping for them

[mitchellmullin]

Seems a bit Eurocentric. Semites were doing it too: Job 27:23; Psalm 47; 98; 2 Kings 11:12 etc all predate the 6th Century B.C.E.

[rambofan]

Greek mythology featuring the first clapper makes a lot of sense.

[JohnVKaravitis]

We evolved to invent The Clapper, which represents the height of technological sophistication.
