Me staring at a rock: living the dream, man, living the dream.

[–] icelimit@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think you're supposed to put them on

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's what happens when you meme before tea.

[–] icelimit@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure you got it, but good effort

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

You know what? I'm leaving it.

Have you seen the state of the world lately?!?

Their life isn't sugar, so some booze is mandatory to come through this monkey business.

I mean, if my entire life was grazing through the bush I’d want a mild buzz on too

Is it surprising though? Natural fruit doesn’t have the same shelf life as modern farmed fruit, so it’ll start fermenting in just a few days - add in alcohol having a lot of calories, and so the chimpanzees naturally won’t skip out on it either.

Monkeyshines

But are they paying their taxes on that alcohol?

Boozy Fruit

I was in a Jimmy Buffet cover band by that name

Honestly better than modern society.

I think I'd rather live for 20-30 fulfilling years than 50-70 of mostly slavery where I exchange 5/7ths of life overworking myself.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

the thing is, there's nothing stopping you from making that a reality

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

What wild land am i allowed to go live on?

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

Not only chimpances, there are also other animals which like to get drunk with fermented fruits, or high with certain toxines, like Lemures with toxic centipedes,, giving a doble use with the toxine, using in their fur to protect against parasites, but after this also to lick it to get high.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

So there's evolutionary reasoning for the way I am?

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

Fuckin' lightweights.
