Their ass is grass.

Everybody realizes this is an AI image... right?

[-] Dadifer@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

The story is real, the image isn’t. If you look at the study none of the OP images are in it, and the only image it shows of the behavior is of a chimp using a single grass straw, not a fist-sized wad shoved up its ass.

I said touch grass!

[-] AsoFiafia@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 months ago

A part of them is touching grass, though. That part just happens to be on the inside.

Spanish sign language must be a pain in the butt.
