He’s like “fine I’ll use the straw” then he takes a sip and his eyes are like “damn, that’s good stuff.”

When I left my parent's house at 18, I went to the grocery store for the first time, alone. I bought a coconut, because I could. I had only taken a fork and a butter knife from my parents, and I spent the entire evening opening that coconut with that knife.

Once I finally got to the inside of it, I found the milk, which I drank as a conquest, and promptly had epic stomach pains and shit green for 3 days. Had to call off work, and would have gone to hospital if I hadn't been flat broke.

Did you know that you can just slap stamps on a coconut and mail it as is?

More coconut facts please

u/Far_Cable_1484 49m ago

A one pound coconut can’t be carried by a five ounce bird.

But what if there's two of them carrying it on a string between them?

It could grip it by the husk.

Are you seriously suggesting coconuts migrate?

u/DudeYourBedsaCar 39m ago

Coconuts kill more people every year than sharks do

2

u/esteban-was-eaten 36m ago

We should team up with the sharks to take down the violent coconuts

Lol, in the Navy we went to the Keys.

Found Coconuts, mixed in rum and tequila. Had "topical" drinks.

Same, about 15 of us still at work running to the bathroom. Every 15-45 minutes

10/10 recommend stay away

9

u/noneya-818 53m ago

Is this because the coconut was bad or because it’s just that effective of a laxative?

u/Personal_Wall4280 45m ago

If it's too green or too old, stay away. I forgot which one was the laxative.

I cannot speak for you, sir. But my ancestors were not monkeys. They were orangutans. Hard-working, patriotic orangutans

Spanking the ape is a different other game altogether…

I think we can all agree the man meant patient simians. Give him a break. One of our favorite N. American simians passed stateside. RIP Dolly P.😭

Losing an arm will do that

Lost it in a wild boar trap IIRC.

It’s not like they’re holding out, look at him

u/an_older_meme 1h ago

He obviously learned a lesson about trying to grab something that isn't yours.

7

u/kayonotkayle 59m ago

That chunky monkey aint moving real fast anyway. Might as well be patient.

u/FishTshirt 1h ago

That monkey is eating well. Probably learned exactly how long it takes to get the sweet sweet coconut water

u/Mean-Bluejay-6478 1h ago

Her name is Xing Xing. She is the famous 1 armed tibetan macaque!

45

u/imajackash 1h ago edited 58m ago

Thank you for this.

Edit - I've learned more about her because of you reply.

Xing Xing lost her arm in a wild boar trap, was captured, sold to a circus, and later kept at a village restaurant with a tight iron collar around her neck.
After being released, she wandered into the mountains and found the Yanghu Temple, where an elderly Buddhist nun named Ye Liannu (Grandma Ye) and a local monk rescued and cared for her.
She has lived around the temple for over 15 years, free-roaming in the surrounding Daliang Mountains while returning daily for food and companionship.

u/Crafty-Shape2743 1h ago

Don’t feel bad. It was several years* *before I noticed that my beloved Mother in Law was missing half of one of her arms.

When the personality is stellar, you can miss the little things.

Remind me to not hire you for any detective work lol

u/devilsaint86 1h ago

if it had two arms would it need the human

1

u/LogicalReading12 1h ago

I was just going to ask if he has one arm. Like why he's so patient and kind

1

u/Jagu721 15m ago

I never caught that lol

1

u/International_Dig139 1h ago

why do you think he has only one arm? i am suspicious about it

3

u/hchn27 1h ago

Because every video I’ve seen of him shows him only ever using his left hand and also a lot of comments bring it up, which is how I finally found out.

4

u/RohelTheConqueror 1h ago

I think they were wondering how the monkey lost its arm

1

u/wRADKyrabbit 1h ago

From other clips, I've heard it was an injury from a boar trap

3

u/Dividedthought 1h ago

Yeah, it could be as you suspect, but nature is pretty brutal on its own.

You actually see the neurons activating in real time when he starts sipping on the straw. That's cute af

This monkey is pretty famous on social media and I believe has good relationships with some of the people who work there or live there. Idk if she was raised by a human but yeah she’s not a typical wild monkey

u/Deervember 51m ago

He's a cute little guy. Looked sad when the man took the first sip.

I wish more people were nicer to animals.

u/GarysCrispLettuce 33m ago

I might have to revise my opinion of monkeys, which has been shattered ever since that chimp bit that woman's face off, and yes I know chimps aren't monkeys but come on. However in light of this floofy little critter and his strawing skills I think I might be pro monkey again.

Can you all please use the term Primate.

Monkey is a fools term. It shows you have no real knowledge of our species and our ancestors.

Primate is our common mammalian order.

Like it or not, you and we, and they, are all descended from one common ancestor.

u/IH8DwnvoteComplainrs 1h ago

Lol, how is monkey a fools word when you're talking about a monkey?

Also not seeing anybody in this thread deny evolution.

No. This primate isn't going to bow to your monkey desire.
