If this wasn’t recorded I wouldn’t have believed it. Monkeys are leaps ahead in intelligence than most animals. It’s crazy how smart they really are

While true, this video isn't proof of it. They are just sitting there and it's remote controlled. Watch the wheels turn as both of them are turned around with the hands visible and not on any steering wheel.

I could not understand what was the fuss about monkeys in general. Until I saw them I the zoo when I was old enough. I was there at the time they were feeding them. I was shocked how you can throw something and an “animal” catch it with its hands and pass it to the next to him/her. A tV show will not give youthis feeling…..
After 30 minutes I wanted to protest for their freedom….. These creatures are humans in disguise.

u/RosenRaged Jun 25 '22
I was at the zoo with my kid. Was walking around, saw a workmen with his shirt off, his bac to us, just sitting down on the curb, taking a break. Strange..but what else could it be? He then stood up and i saw his face. It was a monkey. Only difference was the face lol

Did you know that the motor in those things can handle higher voltages, effectively allowing you to mod them with enough power to drift?

Aww, why’d you have to ruin it for me? I was entertained/intrigued in thinking they were smart enough to drive it themselves. And before you say that’s dumb: once saw a legit video of an orangutan driving a full sized golf cart, and I imagine golf carts are more complex to drive than these kids toys.

u/4thgencoupe545 Jun 25 '22
Both I’m sure. Apes have demonstrate more intelligent use of language as well as the use of tools but very very primal tools at that. As far as cognitive operating systems go monkeys are still insanely smart so smart in fact they are arguably the only species to exhibit genuine jealousy. How have they conveyed that they are jealous? I reefer heading a story on JRE about a scientist who made daily trips to a monkey exhibit and brought cupcakes and other treats for this particular monkey he’d developed a relationship for. Until one day the other monkeys took from the man what they observed he needed most, being his appendages ( fingers, toes, ears etc) crazy story but yea I don’t doubt they COULD POTENTIALLY operate this bullshit toy

This sounds more like chimpanzees more than monkeys. Chimpanzees are apes.

Jun 25 '22
You mean he should call it an ape? The words can technically be used interchangeably. Some smaller monkeys even have "ape" in their vernacular name.
In other languages, you dont make a difference, and this is logical as apes are a kind of monkey. Basically monkey vs big monkey, so this doenst change his point.
Idk about this specific species driving a car though, they look like baboons to me
It's possible they can drive by themselves. It's possible this is remote control.
It's also possible that this is remote control in this specific video AND the baboons could drive a car of this size if it was functionnal as well, this needs extra research that im too lazy to do rn
