Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
i slept at a primitive camp site one night up on a forested mountain on an island. like 3/4s of the island is some UNESCO world heritage site and supposedly there are monkeys on it. never saw one, but the forest was so dense i could have spent a year there and not even found my own ass. my local language skills were bullshit, so i could only see signs with illustrations. nobody who hikes up into the mountains camps at the primitive sites anymore, because they are like rich and stay at nice places with like hot baths and meals and shit. but me and my pal were on a shoestring, so when it got dark we got set up in this little hut out of the drizzle deep in the mountains. we both slept on top of our bags which had our water and some bananas in them (lol) just in case. all i heard about monkeys is that they enjoy taking food, shenanigans, and tomfoolery and they aren't to be underestimated to these ends. like raccoons but somehow more sneaky and interested in amusing themselves and investigating curiosities.
in the middle of the night, it's pitch black, i'm under dense tree canopy, inside a small open structure so there was no shot at my eyes adjusting, but i swear to god i felt something nearby. i opened my eyes and i could swear i caught a glipse of a shape like monkey's face quietly inspecting me from above. it could have been a dream or a hallucination in the dark. i just sort of stirred and adjusted my jacket/blanket and strained to hear anything in the dark. i was exhausted, so i promptly fell back asleep. in the morning, my bag was undisturbed and all bananas were accounted for.
Sorry it was me, didn't mean to scare you, just wanted to see if you had some beans
