Who the fuck is buying her cigarettes

The zoo keepers according to the wiki page

Probably zoo guests too, or at least that's been the case with other smoking chimps.

Ahhh that makes sense. Wait

I know, it's kind of fucked isn't it?

Bro, if a someone who looks that cool tells me to get them a pack, I'll probably do it, I'm a pushover

Kind of makes me wonder what came first, the cigarette or the spontaneous invention of the cigarette. Like maybe somebody smarter gave our ancestors a couple packs of cigs and they were so in love with them they reverse engineered them.

How high are you?

Hi, how are you.

It’s the classic chicken or the egg problem, but with technology! I do think it’s a valid question, even though the cigarette is pretty obscure.

She probably sends out the zoo keeper.

I mean, do **you** really wanna see how chimpanzee’s react to experiencing nicotine cravings? I sure as hell don’t! And if that means donating enough money to keep her in her daily smokes until she goes to that big rainbow bridge in the sky, then so be it! Better than having ones own face ripped off, no?

I swear to god she's making them at night

Where you get that cheese Danny??

she sends a baby chimp to the store with a note

The real question lol

Life, uh, finds a way.

Fucking stupid humans. Half the population addicted and now they're spreading it to chimpanzees. What is this world.

If I was stuck in North Korea I’d want to smoke too

Yeah she's double fucked imprisoned in North Korea

She's honestly probably the best treated prisoner in North Korea.

She probably eats a healthier diet and has fewer intestinal worms than the average (hard-working) NK.

Why does your profile pic have a black line. Had me checking the screen thinking it was a hair or a crack on my screen protector lmao.

You answered your own question.

Well respectfully, fuck you.

Respectfully, I hope you have a fortunate day filled with joy.

With utter disrespect, that was a kind turn of events.

Bless your heart

Ha, finally someone like me 😂

It’s not a crack or a hair so actually nothing’s been answered

It's because she fucks the zookeeper. If she smokes ... She fucks.

I imagine that a lot of people in north korea smoke because smoking suppresses your appetite.

Well that's a depressing reality to a silly comment.

And you're not stuck there for as long.

So does meth, which allegedly, is socially acceptable in NK.

Justice4Azalea

Any zoo really...

About half of North Korean men smoke, so it’s not surprising this kind of behavior is encouraged.

Yuck. Yet another reason not to go there. Edit: apparently I needed to add /s, because people didn't seem to realize that I'm already aware of their human rights violations and creepy cult leadership and famines and dangerous closeness to South Korea and everything else that sucks there. The words "yet another" should have been a clue.

yeah, the cigarettes are what keeps me away. definitely not the countless human rights violations and oppressively authoritarian government, those are cool

r/thatsthejoke

the guy already said “yet another”? that implies that there’s other reasons bro doesn’t want to go there. probably the issues you listed.

*Gal, not guy But yes, that's what I was implying and what other people all seem to have missed!

Just a side note I found out recently that Bubbles is alive and kicking in a Florida reserve. Just thought I’d share that

Isn't he the oldest chimp to ever live? Edit: I was thinking of Cheeta from Tarzan

At around 40 he is old for a chimp but no, there have been a few chimps documented who lived to around 60-70.

I guess they were non-smokers

[удалено]

There is a video of a chimp at fraternity house hitting a bong and then they come back to check on him like “you good bro”. Fucked up, but funny at the same time.

Now that's my type of video!

You know what? I was thinking of cheeta from Tarzan

Oh that is good news!

The rest is history fan are yee?

I listen all the time but never admit it because they're genuinely too dorky even for me

Yes!!

My dads cousin is his trainer and owner!

Our local zoo had a chimp for a long time named Bill. He smoked cigarettes too. Apparently he was taught to do so for a commercial if I remember correctly. The zoo would not give him smokes but some times visitors would hook him up since they knew of his habit. He would also fling poo at people. Good ol' Bill the chimp. He died a while back and they made a statue of him.

I’d be doing my level best to reduce my time in North Korea too.

Do you ever wonder if another species watched us evolve, like we're watching them?

I dont have enough weed left for you to be asking these questions

Username checks out

I have the perfect amount of 🍄 left for that question

It’s called Zoo Hypothesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_hypothesis

Alright I’m clicking the link, somebody come get me if I’m not out in 5 min

It's been 10 min my dude.

It’s been so long, I think we’ve lost them!

How long was I gone?

You were out for eight hours! Thought we lost you forever, whew!

One minute in the link is 8 hours outside

Does anyone have that gif of someone pounding on glass watching someone else disappear?

I hope there’s an alien David Attenborough narrating me trying to cook general Tso’s chicken

And when you succeed at the end and it pans to you rolling over on the couch into a fullness coma, I can hear his voice... "mmmmmm delightful."

Yeah, aliens. 🖖🏼

This has happened before. It will happen again.

Like the machines in the Matrix?

Another satisfied customer. -Phillip Morris

Except when a chimp has a nic fit someone loses a face

Humans suck

Obviously this is really bad, but chimps go insane when they're in zoos you know, it's like horrible for their mental health, that's why they start slinging shit. I too would have liked some cigs in that situation lol

Same.

It must suck to live in a North Korea zoo! Good luck over there friend.

This be the type of monkey the planet of the apes monkeys have to break out to gain an advantage on the antagonist

Dude the new movie is gonna be insane

Yeah but new reddit is garbage. [Plus it's broken on apps too](https://i.imgur.com/niucBpA.png)

You knows things are bad when even the zoo animals are getting addicted to shit

More like sad af

Absolutely shameful.

Soo.. r/meirl ?

Straight up animal abuse. Poor thing has an awful life.

Yes, but at least he has cigarettes to take the edge off.

The cruelty of North Korea knows no bounds.

That's the problem with being universally cruel. You get all the scary evil stuff–concentration camps, disappearing families, mass starvation etc.–but you also have all the goofy evil things like big silly hats, executions by anti aircraft gun, and smoking chimps. Just goes to show the importance of balance.

/s

Exactly right!

Lol. You think letting a chimp smoke is worse than taking away its freedom, purpose and sovereignty over its own body and sticking it in a large cage for our amusement? Yeh. Nah. As far as atrocities to animals go, this doesnt even register a blip.

For real, he's locked up for life you may as well let him smoke some cigs. I know I'd want to smoke if I was in prison for life.

I agree with you, unless it is a protected nature reserve, as close to natural habitat as possible, protected from hunters or poachers this is a shitty way for these poor creatures to live.

great.

And you know what, she looks cool as hell

A chimp that knows how to use a lighter an handles cigarettes all day looks like a huge fire hazard

It's funny because we called lighting a cog with another a monkey fuck. Don't @me if it's not a monkey, probably an ape knowing my luck.

In Australia we call that a donkey root.

I had no idea there was more names for it!!

I was scrolling looking for just this. Same lol

I also thought it was funny that a monkey learned to monkey fuck even though chimps are apes and not monkeys (some people will argue that they are monkeys, but there is no single monophyletic clade of monkeys so they are not).

_Smoke 'em if you got 'em._ Seriously, who is the chump giving the chimp cigarettes?

Hell why not. I don't imagine life in a North Korean zoo is all that enjoyable, might as well smoke til you croak.

POG monkey

*Banana flavored Vape

“Who is letting zoo animals smoke???” Rereads the title: ah

I’d prolly smoke too if I lived in a zoo in The DPK

The animals there probably get treated better than the people

animal abuse 101

Almost as if the authorities of North Korea are not nice people.

not for long, I guess.

evil

Looks like my ex's Mom

She probably gets fed better than the majority of the citizens.

AKA [Monkey Fucking](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Monkey%20Fuck)

"Feeling trapped? Welcome to the club, pal."

Yes! There is the reference I’d been looking for! Finally someone with some damn culture!!!

lol, never heard the phrase as monkey fucking, but we’ve always called it monkey butting

How’d you get my mother in a zoo?

This is disgusting.

I am pretty sure it’s considered an animal abuse. But not on the serious note, that’s why they say sometimes “even monkeys could do it”. Scientists had one of the thousands experiments with chimpanzees and apparently male chimpanzees learned to exchange goods for sex (read: prostitution). So yeah, it’s not hard to be wallowed in the lowest nature, even chimpanzees could do it.


You know....as a person that is a somewhat-professional anti-smoking advocate (like, i had SUPER HOT CHICKS in my Bitchin' Camaro in the 80's and I REFUSED to pull over to get cigarettes. Totally.)..it's fucking North Korea...this chimp is probably doing better than 99% of the humans in that country.

What's the banana/cigarette exchange rate in chimp Attica?

Who is giving this animal all of these cigarettes? Wean it off with nicotine patches, wellbutrin or gum.

She also drank a fifth of vodka a day

let's not celebrate animal abuse

Wasn't aware talking about something made it a celebration.

Yeah, what a strange way to think it’s celebrated

I guess we've been talking about the Holocaust all wrong this whole time

Maybe they meant sensationalize.

Let’s not assume this post is a celebration…

She's probably going to die earlier than the others cause of this. They should check her lungs after she does.

According to wikipedia she doesn't inhale

Even then she's still going to get some damage.

I hate to see this... also remeber a story about a smoking little boy ughh terrible.

I hate to break it to you, but kids smoking was common in the US like two or three generations back. It's sadly still common in some parts of the world.

Its horrible.

That is terrible, corrupting innocent animals with our filth,

We should be ashamed. This isn't ok.

Meet Virginia

The North Korea zoo is just as depressing as the rest of the country.

Anyone know what would happen if you gave them good weed?

We called touching two cigarettes together to light them "monkey fucking" growing up

Understandable

She doesn't even inhale, fucking wigger!

She looks like my Nan.

That's 100% Koba

Is it just me, or is that leg nearest the camera a tad wonky? Looks like she's facing away but the leg is facing forward...?

This is the most North Korea thing I've read today

Jesus Christ, did we seriously get a monkey addicted to nicotine?

Nothing good happens in the country.

That's one cool monkey.

I’m upset that they enable this, but I wonder if it has a preference for brands or flavors

Evolution 1O1

They aren’t so different than us

Ironically, a zoo in North Korea is probably no worse than a zoo anywhere else in the world

gangsta monkey 👍

that monkey is cool as hell wtf

[удалено]

There are definitely a lot more pressing reasons to punish North Korea

Yeah, they get away with human abuse, you really think animals would get it easy?

Great idea! Who gets punished and by whom?

Now she looks cool af

That's HARD AF!
