Yes, I know chimps aren't monkeys. I didn't make this.

I'm pretty sure the other monkeys would just kill that monkey and redistribute the bananas. Just a thought, something to consider.

I was told to eat the rich, but I assume they'd be bitter and stale.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Beat the rich.

That's more satisfying because you can hear them begging you to stop.

Well.. we can speculate but I'd rather find it out.

Too bad the monkey figured out it can give a few bananas to other monkeys for protection.

That monkey is a job creator! Look at how busy the other monkeys are trying to work for bananas!

It invents the whole new markets of scratching his back, waving palm leaves and covering it from sun for it's comfort, making it laugh and entertained, sucking it's dick and jumping on it, especially by established partners for it just hits different. And it'd make sure there's a cut throat competition to lick it's sitting branch. That'd sure breed innovation...

in a face of it being a prequel to the notable scene from the Cosmic Odyssey 2001, when monkeys beat another to death with bones.

I don't know which Johnny you're talking about, but the only Johnny I know that has anything to do with monkeys doesn't care.

There's a Johnny Bravo "Do the monkey with me!" joke in here somewhere but I'm not funny enough to make it.

[–] leave_it_blank@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Thank you!!! This brought back memories!!!

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

What do you mean monkeys have bananas?

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but trickle down banana peels!

[–] Eczpurt@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

As we all end up slipping on them comedy style, setting ourselves back further lol

Scientists would 100% study the "successful" monkey to find out what algebra it used to maximize it's profits without provoking revolt.

In the USA, Monkeys in monkey suits aren't regulated by scientists, sadly, they're regulated by Washington so make sure you go out and vote twice this year.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 5 months ago

"You guys are getting regulated?" meme

Relevant Obama video

Don't some monkeys establish hierarchy through control over food access exactly like that though?

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Just once, I wish one chimpanzee would do that so we could finally figure out what's wrong with humans.

Something something historical materialism and primitive communism
