    Reminds me of a bad joke I saw on that garbage site that’s trying to be like Lemmy

    Why did the monkey fall out of the tree? Because it was dead

    Why did the second monkey fall out of the tree? Because he was stapled to the first

    Why did the third monkey fall out of the tree? Monkey see monkey do

    Why did the refrigerator fall out of the tree? Because it had no arms

    Why did Sally fall off her bike? Because she was hit with 3 monkeys and a refrigerator

      Why did the redditor fall out of the tree? Because the instructions were unclear and he had his knob stuck in the monkey.

    I’m torn between feeling bad for monkeys and being glad the little bastards are dead. Monkeys can be a major pain in the ass.

    Sounds like dehydration is at least part of the problem. I assume they can solve that with howler monkey water stations. Maybe those should just be jungle wildlife water stations.

      Dehydration is just a symptom of the problem, as the article specifically says these monkeys had heat stroke.

      They’re pains in the asses, though, behaving in irritating ways due to the negative effects from our pollution and encroachment. So fuck 'em, right?

    Yet those guys are in long sleeves, long pants, gloves, and face masks, in the middle of the day. How are they not passing out?

    I was referring to the men in the picture that are collecting the bodies of the dead monkeys in the forest: How are THEY not passing out from the heat? 🤦‍♀️

      Well they are not passing out. They are dying. As for why they normally do not, they are in the reason forest which does not get a ton of sun beating down on them. Their fur also makes it so their skin is not directly closed to the sunlight.

        They were probably in shelter at the worst time of the day, unlike the monkeys that have no where to go.
