Maybe she needs to stop sitting in front of really interesting shit

Everybody knows when you take your girl out to dinner never face the monkey riding a scooter with a backwards hat.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think that he's actually riding it


the kickstand is down. I think he's just sitting there.

True, I mean I get watching a riding monkey but why watch a sitting one when your girlfriend sits as well? It doesn't make sense

This isn't an "all else held equal" situation. The monkey is topless.

EDIT: Well, ape probably. I don't see a tail.

Actually 🤓 all apes are monkeys, including us, because you can't evolve out of a clade so I should have specified which monkey I was talking about

That monkey isn't even wearing a summer dress.

Well, right now she is refusing to listen to him....

Except that isn't shown at all. It shows him saying something crazy is happening while he's at it, it doesn't show or imply that she is refusing to believe him or to look back. The comic ends with him saying that, there is nothing about her not listening.

I don't understand how you came to that conclusion. You just decided that's the case even though it's 100% in your mind and nothing else.

"Honey, I hear what you're saying, and I'd like to discuss the matter with you in about 30 seconds. But before we do, there is an urgent matter that just unfolded behind you. Would you please look behind you as I don't believe what I'm seeing? Again, 30 seconds please and we'll discuss your important matter next."

The monkey would 100% ride away before she turned, then you're really in the dog house, mister.

"Look behind you! A three headed monkey!"

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I have never wanted something on a tshirt so much in my entire life.

Story of my life, man.
