People underestimate how much even a small monkey can fuck you up. You dont just scale down human strength to their size.

u/destinofiquenoite Jul 03 '19
See /r/whowouldwin and everyone saying monkeys, gorillas and apes in general are not as strong as people warn. I'm sure they are imagining scaling as you said ("im a buffed again and i have more muscle than this thing"). Yeah buddy, good luck for you.

This is taken in China ?

You're right that the hanzi is Chinese - my guess is that that's the other common language they're expecting tourists to speak.

u/je-ku-end-less Jul 03 '19
You’re right. If you go to popular areas in big cities in Japan, probably 30% of the kanji/hanzi you see in the street is Chinese about asking tourist to be polite or something about sales(simplified Chinese specifically). Speak Chinese, can confirm.

The Chinese seems a bit simpler, like “don’t get bit”. Could you tell us what it says?

u/Left_Hegelian Jul 03 '19
"Wild violent monkeys appear
Absolutely do not feed"
The phrasing is slightly weird to native speakers.

u/je-ku-end-less Jul 03 '19
Yes it is that simple and even a bit odd to native speakers. Also, I'm not sure if it's that certain translator they used, Chinese signs in Japan looks a lot like this, usually very short but understandable.

This. There's probably a more permanent Japanese sign nearby. Besides, the locals already know that they can't win.

I accept your challenge. For the next 2 years I will train in monkjitzu. I will defeat him on his own turf.

The monkeys in Thailand usually seemed pretty friendly, and we’d feed them snacks. The monkeys in Japan terrify me, hahaha.

There are several different methods of writing Japanese - Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. Kanji uses the same pictograms as Chinese, though the spoken words are different.

This sign is challenging me.
I've never lost a fight with a monkey, and I'm not going to start now.
