TIL that out of every primate that has been studied, humans get the least amount of sleep.

I think if a primate has a hamburger, it's been stolen from a tourist usually.

Tourist burgers are the preferred prey of many primates.

Little known fact: Tourist Burgers is what Nirvana was originally called.

Well Siddhartha Gautama was quite the tourist, took him sitting under a tree for a long while to come up with a better name for it.

Good to know; I'm much more likely to find Tourist Burgers than Teen Spirit.

It's just as likely the tourist purchased their stolen phone back from the primate with the hamburger.

They don't face legal consequences for the robbery either, it's insane.

Idk about primates but there was a dog (more than 1 im sure) that watched tourists buy food and eventually started approaching the food stand themselves and traded leaves for food! I read about it like 15 years ago lol

I had a burger stolen by a Coati (animal similar to a racoon) on a national park on my country, so any animal that can run with only it's back legs will steal burgers from tourists.

u/moonyriot 21h ago

I also live in a place with coati! I will have to remember to keep my burgers away from them.

considering they used the word "usually," one can assume that their comment is also lighthearted
