~~Bon Jovi~~ David Bowie and Harambe were the cosmic glue that kept the universe's shit together. Nothing's been normal since their deaths.
Bon Jovi is alive, though?
Fuck, I mixed up my musicians, I meant David Bowie!
All good, just made me double take lol
Oh, the Sovereign?
Welcome to the guild of calamitous intent!
Oh great, now you've started it...
Nothing’s been normal since their deaths.
My dad died the same day David Bowie died. It really sucks to have all of your friends post things like, "David Bowie was an inspiration to me and made me the person I am today. His star has fallen and I will be devastated forever. Also, sorry about your dad, dude."

Nope, it was all David Bowie. Harambe is just some of the initial fallout.
After the following years, I've quietly taken the whole "this is when we diverged into the darkest timeline" schtick an iota more seriously. It's been a strange 8 years.
I just died crying laughing at the combo of post and top comment
The existence of Harambe implies the existence of Halalbe
Wasn't Epstein a gorilla?
All I know is he didn’t kill himself
Haraam means forbidden, but haram actually means sacred.
Haram · be = sacred being
Both english and malay adopted the term with the spelling "haram" as forbidden, but i do acknowledge haram might mean something in another language.
There is no existence or Harambe anymore 🥲
We call them Bumblebees
No.
A very solemn and respectful dick out for Harambe
Zippers at half mast
Just make sure to tuck it back in before zipping up.
Do gorillas kill babies of other animals, monkeys or humans?
I just dont really believe that Harambe would have done anything to that baby.
It's a wild animal caged for display. As in: may act erratically.
For sure...
In this particular situation, Harambe was causing harm to the child, more of a curiosity but with a very strong and less dexterous creature. I don’t think a wild animal should be held accountable for being themselves. So his death is still bullshit.
There is another example of a child falling into a gorilla enclosure and a female gorilla protected the child from the other gorillas until the zoo staff arrived.
Most males in the animal kingdom are, at best, indifferent to children of other males/species. At worst, they actively kill babies from other males.
They may or may not. I've seen a documentary once about a Jaguar that killed a gazelle (I believe) that just had its calf born. The mother was dead and being eaten, the calf had nowhere to go and just stayed with the Jaguar who then sort of accepted the calf and let it live. They became this super weird parent - offspring pairing that, of course, didn't work. The calf needed feeding, there were obviously no gazelles near, and if I recall correctly it either died soon from malnutrition, or after a few days the Jaguar just killed it anyway. The narrator speculated that the Jaguar might have lost its offspring shortly before and still had that motherly instinct.
Moral of the story is. Animals are driven by instinct and hormones, don't trust they will not shred you.
the same is true for people too 😅
People are often worse.
He would have killed it but I believe a gorilla is worth more than a kid. even 5
There was another incident of a gorilla protecting a child that had fallen into the habitat from other gorillas. So, I think it depends on the gorilla.
🍆
Too soon.
Harambe, Blessed be thy name.
Oh man this good me laughing way too hard, well done
After the kid is removed
sigh unzips
