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.

Imagine if...

... one of us were in a display cage and offered a mathematical problem about an imaginary plane which existed only in the bum of a nonexistent centipede-zebra gladiator. While one talkative baboon shouted, "The gravitonic oscillator interfered with the plasma harmoniser, causing a phase inversion in the neuro-static relay core, which in turn compromised the polarity of the subatomic fog lattice!"
Rebuttal-Agent Beast™

Meaning what, exactly, Mister Baboon? I've already got this existentially awkward offered problem on an invisible paper. Not to mention this incovenient revealing attire they put on me. I'm afraid I won't process your jargons right now, sir. My thigh is gyrating in German.

All in all, imaginations above serve well for the glorified vagueness, "Imagination is more important than knowledge".

The "footnote" of that is purposely untold because, well...

🤷‍♂️

Health: Stomach Ulcer and Food Poisoning Quick Treatment

First of all, I'm not a medical doctor. I have an engineering degree in low power electrical field and I am a web developer. 😶 But I do have lots of experiences handling these: stomach ulcer and food poisoning ; for myself and for other people around me. Let me share some of quick treatments for stomach ulcer and food poisoning . Stomach Ulcer: The Habit Sometimes, or most of the time, as we get older, we do not take meal with constant periodical cycle like while we were children or teens. But as I've noticed nowadays, teens also have that habit . Our human body can adapt, if you notice, to that kind of punishment . At first, it was probably really hurt, and as the time went by, we no longer feel the pain. It has multiple meanings: Our nerves finally ignore the pain signal because we consciously and constantly pretend it did not hurt like Rambo bit, but our system hasn't actually adapted. This one is dangerous. ⚠️ Th...

CSS: Using Invalid and Valid Pseudo-Class

The title is ambiguous actually, why do we want to use an invalid pseudo-class? 🤔 And is it not valid pseudo-class in CSS plenty? Why? Because. Hi. In form context, we can use :invalid and :valid pseudo-class to notify user if their input is either invalid or valid. The CSS styling for the pseudo-class can be applied to: input tag (with exception) ✅ ❌ Input type exception: button , submit , reset , image , hidden , file , range , color , checkbox , radio . It is because there is no validation is done to those particular types. textarea tag ✅ select tag ✅ Let's try it combined with massive JavaScript and plenty of HTML elements. 🤣 No, it's quite straightforward actually. We can see the example below. Demonstration Please enable JavaScript Please choose Option One Option two Option three Option four ...

Bagatha Bagpipe 🎻

One night at a pub, in a place where the pub is constructed, Tadhg O'MacMick is inside the pub. "One of your finest peanut!", he shouted to the barman. The barman, being 20 cm from Tadhg O'MacMick, ignores him. Aside from the fact that he is precisely 20 centimetre from Tadhg O'MacMick. It's pretty near, mind you. For instance, watching a car muffler from 20 cm distance, pretty near. Or, placing our face 20 cm in front of a fireplace, pretty near. I made a point. Shortly after, he brings a bowl of peanuts to him. The "he" is Tadhg O'MacMick himself. Thus, he did, what we call, a self-service. "Oi, where did you get those peanuts?", barked the barman in front of Tadhg O'MacMick's outward manifestation. (Tadhg O'MacMick) "Feck! You spat on my peanuts! I took them." (Barman) "You brought your own bowl?" (Tadhg O'MacMick) "What bowl?" (Munching peanuts.) The saliva theatre is quite d...

Fixing XHTML Parsing Error on Chrome: Specification mandate value for attribute async

This error message on Google Chrome console: Specification mandate value for attribute async That would happen if we generated XML page which acted as HTML , or XHTML . And we forgot to define the value for a particular HTML element attribute. In this case, the value for async attribute (in script element). The "async" Attribute Strictly Needs Value in XHTML Earlier, it was like this: <script type="application/javascript" src="URL_SOURCE" async></script> And the XHTML page wouldn't be rendered. It was just blank, but still with the XML attached (if we view the page source/inspect element). Solution To fix that, put the value for that attribute. We can put async , 1 , or true for that. Use async : <script type="application/javascript" src="URL_SOURCE" async="async"></script> Or use 1 : <script type="application/javascript...
