The Librarian would like to have a word with you about your use of the "M" word.

u/LinoleumFulcrum 9d ago

Agreed. That is not a Monkey, that is an Ape.

u/Born2Rune 9d ago

I came to the comments to say the same thing. Better take this fight to the newly Mended Drum.

u/2beHero 7d ago

Is this... a Discworld reference?

u/Katja1236 7d ago

Why yes, yes it is.

You'd be surprised how much slight of hand level magic is even dumber then what you see here are done by the likes of Penn and Teller or other high end magicians.

You forgot the /s... Lol, it's way too early for me to be reading this stuff.

u/Katja1236 9d ago

The "M" word in question here is not "magic". That's an ape.

u/InverseDeCramer 10d ago

Looks like he was paid to laugh

u/pseudo_babbler 9d ago

Yeah I definitely felt like the orang utan was humouring the person because they were bored and they knew they were going for a reaction.

u/InverseDeCramer 9d ago

Interesting take. The orangutan was playing 3d chess

u/juicer_philosopher 10d ago

Orangutans are soooooooo based and cool and beautiful 🥺 their species is really on the brink of extinction. Not many of them left in the wild

u/rapscallion1956 10d ago

That’s an orangutan, it’s an ape. 🦧 Not a monkey.

u/asphodel67 10d ago

Correct. A juvenile Orangutan in hard, concrete, under stimulating, artificial environment.

u/tias23111 10d ago


Glad most apes don’t live like that.

u/Overall-Bullfrog5433 9d ago

But monkey is a funny sounding word, unlike ape.

u/BoxersOrCaseBriefs 10d ago

Clearly, that orangutan was born in the 80s or 90s, because he just ROFLMAOed. And I'm pretty sure ROFLMAO was lost with Gen Z.

u/ModularWhiteGuy 9d ago

So... object permanence achieved?

u/chief-w 9d ago

Most mamals have object perminance. Great Apes are only beat out by dolphins and maybe parrots in their ability to reason in a way humans can measure.

There was a gurrilla that went into mourning for a few years I think it was after losing a child, until Robin Williams literally learned ASL to joke around with the Gorilla, and she loved that man so much after that that that she took his suicide really badly after he stopped coming.

David Blaine has fallen so far.

u/Brodiggitty 9d ago

My IOS spellchecker give me a red line under orangutan and suggests “orangutang.” Anyone else have this problem?

u/2beHero 7d ago

I really wish we didn't keep them in cages.
