And you know what?! That dumb kid is around here on the internet somewhere. He knows what he did but he hides behind anonymity so he doesn't have to face the world he destroyed. You know who you are and you know what you did!

Edit: /s we are in a world so crazy that the obviouw have to be said.

Harambe wouldn't want you to rail on the kid.

Not all kids are "climb into an animal enclosure at the zoo" dumb. That's a special kind of dumb.

Have you ever had to care for 3-year-olds? I'd argue that probably more than 80% of 3 year olds are "climb into an animal enclosure at the zoo" dumb. And honestly, for the 20% you don't have to worry about, it's not intelligence that keeps them out, it's other personality traits or physical abilities.

That is true!

It really has just been a parade of shit sandwiches since then.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

And giant douchebags...

I wish people would remember that the real crux was lincoln's assassination. Everything since has been downhill, for america at least. Can you imagine if the traitors had actually been hanged? No jim crow laws? No fucking bullshit...

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 14 points 2 months ago

True, everything since Harambe's death happened after Harambe's death.

"How did the world end, Grandpa?"

"Well, it all started with this fucking gorilla."

"Grandpa, why is your dick out?"

"Well, to answer that we have to go back to 2016..."

[–] exasperation@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

So I had my dick out, which was the style at the time. "Dicks out for Harambe," you'd say. Now, where were we? Oh yeah, I had my dick out, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any zippers then, because of the tariffs. The only thing you could get were those shitty button fly pants.

You know what released shortly after Harambe being shot? Tiktok.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No no, it started with Nixon, then accelerated with Regan. Harambe's death was an early warning sign.

I know that was a meme for awhile, but was it really THAT big of a story?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No. Bowie's death months earlier was a far bigger deal, and vastly more likely the cause of the unraveling of the fabric of reality.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bowie and Harambe sitting in heaven watching shit happen on Earth

Bowie: “Things are starting to get serious down there, aren’t they?”

Harambe: “I no longer concern myself with ants.”

Don't leave out Prince.... That was a rough year

Thankfully no one was hurt.
