Do Monkeys and Apes Eat Bananas in the Wild?

No.

It's Hollywood's generalisation 🤷‍♂️

Like us, monkeys and apes are omnivores. Now why is an omnivore only interested in one type of fruit... banana 🍌? 🤔 Why indeed...

But if offered one, certainly, don't mind if I do!

Banana is not naturally their diet in the wild because:

Banana plantations are human territories.
Wild banana plants clusters are not monkeys' or apes' main habitats — and the wild banana fruits are not tasty like the human-designed monocultures. Hence, humans designed the monocultures to produce the tasty banana fruits. This should loop back to point 1.

The monocot plant itself is not even something they would climb and settle, as in sit or come to rest in a comfortable position.

Imagine...

🐒 What's this? A bit of vertical challenge, eh? (Proceeds to climb a banana plant in under one second) 🐒 Ah, quite marvelous here. Nature's cushion at its finest. The view... It's all obstructed. Mm, splendid. Why is it leaning? Where's the manager? (Crrrreeeaaakkk—SLUMP 🍌🌿💥) 🥴 Manager!

I suppose it was started by some bloke gave one of them a banana, and Oooh, it can peel! Amusing information was spread around ➡️ meme got to Hollywood people sometime back then ➡️ tirelessly being used in cartoons, comics, and films ➡️ the concept was copied-pasted around the world ➡️ now.

The Girl Who Replied to the Prince of Nigeria

Once there was a girl named Elsie, who received a curious letter — not by post, but through the shimmering scroll of her inbox . It was from a prince , exiled and alone, trapped with seventeen million dollars and no one to trust. Moved by noble compassion (and mild curiosity), Elsie replied with her full name, bank details, and a JPEG of her cat 🐈 He seemed so polite , she later said. He even used full sentences — none of that lol nonsense. But alas! The moment she clicked Send , her screen flickered. Her icons rearranged themselves. Her fonts turned to Comic Sans. And deep within the motherboard, a voice whispered, Your inheritance is processing... — like waiting for a completion with a progress bar stuck at 98% endlessly. Oh, let's make it as a theatrical description — tis like waiting at the edge of salvation, whilst the bar of progress halts; ninety-eight percent, ever taunting, never moving, a silent sentinel of false hope 🎭 Elsie was never seen o...

The Boy Who Wanted More... PDF

I was looking around for folktales from around the world. And, a-ha! That Dutch folktale, "The Boy Who Wanted More Cheese" — Klaas. So then I searched that on mobile, and this autocomplete appeared... 🤣 Most unexpected... Hm, now then, what have we here? The village Volendam in the story most certainly has no internet, nor even a computer, as it is set in a time before the Integrated Circuit (IC) was invented 🤔 😃 We shall proceed with modern Klaas then 💡 A tale of a boy with three keyboards, two mice, and regrets. 📖 The Boy Who Wanted More... PDF Documents 💾 Once, in the village of Softwaren... ...there lived a boy named Klaas, who longed not for riches, nor cheese, nor even attention — but for a comprehensive digital archive.

Pants

I was thinking about... ... pants 🤔 Why is it "still" a pair of pants ? Like we were still in the days when we wore it per-leg basis 😂😐 Ah, fascinating how... ... the term did not advance like the garment did 👖🩳 Similar to scissors or glasses (eyewear). They are now 💥 as one tool , but are called... as they were separate. Scissors were literally two (small) blades ⚔️ operated by both hands. Each blade was held on each hand, being positioned like ⚔️ for snipping things ➡️ Now, same function, but it's advanced — blades are combined with a pin plus the majestic holders for the fingers, conveniently can be operated by one hand — into one amazing tool, this ✂️... But still, "a pair of scissors". I'd call it sniper . Yes, that's right, one "p". It would add the confusion, thank you. Glasses 👓 ... Similar to scissors and pants. Leg Tubes Let's focus on this bit. Because there is a pair of underpants . Before the Dark...

Treasure Hunting in Movies vs. Real Life

🎥 Movies We found an ancient treasure! We're rich! ❗Reality How do we even convert this to currency? 😕 Right? Before we continue, did you notice the fingers, eyes, and reality glitch on certain fellows on the image above? That is some treasure hunting misfortunes ☠️ We know the trope emphasizes on adventures, dramas, and actions. But somewhere deep down, we also had those questions 🤔 Like, how does that go exactly? Question. The rich part. This is the trope where the adventurers roamed so bravely without obvious funding and sponsor and confidently presumed they'd be instantly rich just by locating the treasure from the information on a brittle goo-smudged paper — is it up or down or sideways? — ancient map. I was baffled because films always rolled the credits before ever explaining the treasure conversion process, which, let's be honest, probably doesn't exist. The formula: Drama build-up ➡️ Adventure and action ➡️ Found treasure ➡️ Celebrat...

Sleeping Moth

The photos were taken in the morning. It is indeed an interesting moth. It can be generalised like that song from Michael Learns to Rock — the band with a complete sentence as the name — "Sleeping [Noun]". "Sleeping Child" is sweet. If you've never heard of it, this is the music video on YouTube . In another story, "Complicated Heart" is fascinatingly gloomy. I did that in an acoustic band back in high school. My band-mate said, "Can we not play this?". And I said, "Sure, after we perform it" 😂 "Sleeping Child" was my first pop song I learned to strum and sing as a child. As in 🎸 la la la 🎤 Let's do it a bit. (Intro 🎸) The milky wall Up on that tavern Is having color blue 🎵 ... That's one reason why I'll cover you, sleeping moth 🎵 ... (🚜 Tractor solo) Or (Intro 🎸) The sleeping moth Up on that wall, see? Is having colo...

I Found a Tiny Orange Mosquito

This insect was sticking on my nose while I tried to figure out something on the computer. I thought it was dust, turned out, a living mosquito. I took pictures of it. A remarkable all-orange mosquito this was. Perhaps it is a genetic mutation of sort. I call this as aureo-rufus (golden-red) mutation 🧐 Almost amber in hue. Its bite was quite odd, it actually felt like a tiny ember instead of mosquito-itch. Thus, that explained why the "dust" felt "weird". But it left no serious poison, it was rather similar to common mosquito after-bite papule . It had smaller size compared to ordinary mosquito... Perhaps it had not taken the necessary nutrition. Since with this orange color, it would be quite hard to blend in with the surrounding. According to my action of taking notes in animal world, most of the time, a bright-colored (yellow-red-orange pattern) fellow usually is quite venomous. It indeed followed my observation notes — which is unrelat...

Highlander

I watched the TV series because of Adrian Paul . He did marvelously in the series no doubt. But then... I watched the movie and realised something 🤔 There was that Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez character played by Sir Sean Connery. 2,000+ years Egyptian-born immortal which takes a Spanish name, speaks with a full Scottish accent, never set foot in Scotland 🤷, wields a Japanese katana 🤨, trains a Scottish Highlander how to fight, dies dramatically because... There can be only one! 🤯 One ? Indeed that is one party of a character. Now we'd think the one which was an actual Scottish would play, you know, as an actual Scottish . But that would not be Hollywood without the ethnic roulette and convolution . Creativity. 🤔 I suppose it was deliberate after observing the patterns in many Hollywood productions. 🧠 Hollywood 101: that . Let's further elaborate that specifically for Highlander (1986) and, of course, the TV series. The character Juan Ram...
