i slept at a primitive camp site one night up on a forested mountain on an island. like 3/4s of the island is some UNESCO world heritage site and supposedly there are monkeys on it. never saw one, but the forest was so dense i could have spent a year there and not even found my own ass. my local language skills were bullshit, so i could only see signs with illustrations. nobody who hikes up into the mountains camps at the primitive sites anymore, because they are like rich and stay at nice places with like hot baths and meals and shit. but me and my pal were on a shoestring, so when it got dark we got set up in this little hut out of the drizzle deep in the mountains. we both slept on top of our bags which had our water and some bananas in them (lol) just in case. all i heard about monkeys is that they enjoy taking food, shenanigans, and tomfoolery and they aren't to be underestimated to these ends. like raccoons but somehow more sneaky and interested in amusing themselves and investigating curiosities.
in the middle of the night, it's pitch black, i'm under dense tree canopy, inside a small open structure so there was no shot at my eyes adjusting, but i swear to god i felt something nearby. i opened my eyes and i could swear i caught a glipse of a shape like monkey's face quietly inspecting me from above. it could have been a dream or a hallucination in the dark. i just sort of stirred and adjusted my jacket/blanket and strained to hear anything in the dark. i was exhausted, so i promptly fell back asleep. in the morning, my bag was undisturbed and all bananas were accounted for.
Sorry it was me, didn't mean to scare you, just wanted to see if you had some beans
What kind of lab?
Can't be the one from 12 monkeys. Too many monkeys.
It's the lab from the prequel to the fourth sequel. It was a sort of soft reboot.
Ah, looks like they're breeders.
wtf they made planet of the apes real?
Trying, if it fails they can try again next month
Liberate all monkeys!
I do wonder what this means for local flora and fauna, mind you.
Also new bigfoot sighting when?
bunch of monkeys dead from exposure in about a month's time is my guess
They're a smidge too early for climate change to bring a tropical climate to the Carolinas, but if they hang in there long enough...
Unless it's a particularly cold winter they'll be fine there.
just like a teen dystopia novel!
"nooo, i cant leave you behind!" '...save yourself'
I would describe myself as a pro-monkey anarcho-tankieist anti-lab Warsaw Pacter
