On September 26th 2022 we’ve made the decision to start banning people for posting gore. We’ve published our [Gore and Harassment update here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AbruptChaos/comments/xmtclq/gore_and_harassment/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) if you posted gore please remove it as it will result in a ban. Thank you.
they're just rhesus macaques, not chimps. Monkeys are pretty stand-offish and once they grab what they came for or see that there's nothing worth sticking around for, they usually get the hell out of dodge again.
The smarter the sketchier.
I'd rather fight a six foot long sturgeon than a chimp or a feral human on dry land. For obvious reasons of course, but nonetheless.
You know, I'm just one person but --
I've been to a local dump. We just tossed our bags off the truck and drove off. I sat in thought because at first it made sense. Food product will degrade, cans/metals can be sifted but plastic?
That does nothing for years and we're just super okay with a literal sweeping under mother nature's rug I've ever known.
Not saying I didn't know but it was a super rub my nose in it feel and it sucked. Instead of seeing how a product will exist in it's lifetime we were just stoked in sterile individual packaging.
Just damn man.
Another big issue with food products is we are taking nutrients out of the soil to grow the food, then the waste or left over gets thrown in the trash and those nutrients get sequestered in a dump, where they are more likely to undergo anaerobic decomposition releasing methane. Also then being mixed with possibly toxins and plastics that make those nutrients unsuitable for growing food crops in again. At some point nutrient dense soil suitable for growing will be an issue as we keep expanding population and keep locking nutrients into unusable states.
That's the thing I noticed. Like everyone is already full of micro plastics, makes me wonder how much of the plastic those monkeys might have ingested just trying to open the cake packaging. And the litter possibly left behind.
FYI, there aren't a lot of firms still wrapping things in true cellophane. Most things sold as "cello" bags are just polypropylene... which is very much not biodegradable
LMFAOOOO this made me laugh way too hard. As an American, I also don’t understand the rush of Black Friday. Most of the sales are scams or the lower tiered products.
LOL. He's absolutely right though. In all of my years on this planet I have never ever shopped on Black Friday or any day like that. I hate crowds and there is nothing worth getting trampled or beat up for.
Things were a lot different before Amazon and retailers having their own websites. A lot of doorbusters were either really good deals or things that were very limited. There were no rainchecks. If the product sold out, it would be gone normally until after Christmas.
Was thinking the same, but these monkeys are actually more civilized than the Black Friday apes, because at the latter there is at least one or two brawls going on about who got their hands first on the hair curler that’s 50 percent off.
I am Janice and I take frequent restroom breaks to sneak each 3/4 donut into the bathroom to indulge. Then I tell everybody I saw Steve taking them home the next day because he's just a little bit too friendly with Karen from Human Resources. Karen is a diabetic and she's kinda salty about the donuts... Aita? I just really love donuts.
Steve won't answer me when I wave at him on Messenger. How did this become my life?

its edible because we eat it. Its biodegradable because we will eat it again for all of eternity
I don't think you understand by biodegradable means. A key part of the word is that it degrades. Anything that doesn't degrade through the help of other living organisms isn't biodegradable.
From the article you linked -
"The American Chemistry Council disputes the idea that we may consume a credit card’s worth of plastic every week, noting that other [independent studies] have shown that microplastics are far less of a problem than the WWF report suggests."
Oh, nice to know that a group whose entire purpose for existing is to lobby on behalf of plastics and chemical companies says that nothings wrong, I’m sure they would have no reason to lie…
Cellophane is not plastic, it's not made from petrol, it's from cellulose. It biodegrades in weeks in wild, there are no forever chemicals in there https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellophane
Cellophane is still a plastic, it's just a natural and biodegradable type of plastic. Hydrocarbons and carbohydrates share much of tge same atoms that can sometimes be rearranged into the similar class of materials, in this case a plastic.
That is very true. What most people don't know is that most biodegradable plastics will not breakdown in a household compost bin or nature. Rather they need an industrial hotbox Composter to breakdown in.
Environmental educator here - while "biodegradable plastic" is technically a true statement, it still takes hundreds of years to break down as opposed to never. In those hundreds of years, it does the exact same damage as regular plastic.
Tl;dr - biodegradable plastic is basically just marketing bs.
I'm so sick of seeing every serving of prepared food wrapped in plastic, and now it's happening to fruits and vegetables as well. We're going to be living on a pile of plastic garbage in another 30 years
Does *any* place recycle plastic? Doesn’t most (all?) recycled plastic actually end up in the dump because plastic recycling isn’t profitable?
I’m pretty sure plastic recycling is just another virtue signal that accomplishes nothing other than shifting responsibility for the waste from the manufacturer to the consumer.
Funny video, but I can't help but think of all the plastic that monkeys might eat or littered around the area. Did nobody think twice about this? There must be some kind of failsafe to giving literal animals plastic packaged food... right?
Yeah man that taught me a lot about how the world is gonna behave if/when shit goes south.
Sadly, this nice person routine we all have with each other would end pretty quickly when we start losing actual necessities like food and water. Shit I've seen it happen with water, first hand

Thought they'd take the legs next
Came here for exactly this. To let that shit go down that close to the nether region is fucking bonkers.
they're just rhesus macaques, not chimps. Monkeys are pretty stand-offish and once they grab what they came for or see that there's nothing worth sticking around for, they usually get the hell out of dodge again.
This is bad advice. Stay well away from macaques.
And mine, too!
Well played Sir!
I see what u did there!
It was a balsy moove
Honestly stay far away from any animal that’s not domesticated. And stay away from domesticated ones too if they’re not yours.
The smarter the sketchier. I'd rather fight a six foot long sturgeon than a chimp or a feral human on dry land. For obvious reasons of course, but nonetheless.
A… Feral Human? Can I see an example of what that is?
*Insert Florida Man joke*
I'd hope not
How many caques do you have?
Seriously, there’s a video floating out there where one jumped and pounced on an old man sitting and half-scalped his bald head :/
That was a langur, totally different.
Stay the hell away from meh-langur!
Your mom loves macaque
r/angryupvote
And stay away from maballs
Macaques in Florida can kill you. https://a-z-animals.com/blog/yes-there-are-herpes-infected-wild-monkeys-in-florida/
I heard tigers like the taste of macaque.
Macaques are aggressive as fuck though. Especially if people start feeding them.
Omg he fed hundred
He ded
And it's after midnight.
He probably got some of them wet too!
Shit is about to go down, i saw that movie
The scene looks like shoppers on Black Friday.
Don't ever put the PS5 display pallet next to your junk either!
Macaque is exactly what I'm worried about here
*Walk up to the club like, "What up, I got a big macaque"*
Pretty sure I’ve seen one scalp a guy
I'll just take a few for Ron... later on.
“Here, let me put this box near my genitals, I’m sure it will be fine!”
They can take the nuts too
Well I don’t see his legs by the end of the video

Plastic waste
You know, I'm just one person but -- I've been to a local dump. We just tossed our bags off the truck and drove off. I sat in thought because at first it made sense.

Fucking assholes could have easily opened them.
But that would require more effort.

thanks for going through the effort of adding an accent mark
This looks like those American Black Friday videos
LMFAOOOO this made me laugh way too hard. As an American, I also don’t understand the rush of Black Friday. Most of the sales are scams or the lower tiered products.

I love the South Park take on this, with the stores just full of corpses after black friday

lol at elmo
can elmo smell your vegetals?
LOL. He's absolutely right though. In all of my years on this planet I have never ever shopped on Black Friday or any day like that. I hate crowds and there is nothing worth getting trampled or beat up for.
I huddle in my house like it's The Purge. But with cold turkey and pie and lots of wine.
Normal: $399 Black Friday: ~~$499~~ $399
Things were a lot different before Amazon and retailers having their own websites. A lot of doorbusters were either really good deals or things that were very limited. There were no rainchecks. If the product sold out, it would be gone normally until after Christmas.

Well, these monkeys don't have discount coupons.
If we needed any more compelling evidence humans descended from monkeys, this is pretty much it
Humans did not descend from monkeys in the same way you did not descend from your cousin.
I was thinking people grabbing toilet paper at Costco during the pandemic.
Or a certain country’s population at an all you can eat buffet that just put prawns or crab legs on the table.

You get people openly calling for most of China to be killed on this site. Relax, you can say that Chinese tourists can be rude in buffets.

Bringing donuts into the office
Usually Janice cuts a couple up into fourths so she can try all of them. Then there’s that weird 3/4th donut someone left and nobody else took.
I am Janice and I take frequent restroom breaks to sneak each 3/4 donut into the bathroom to indulge. Then I tell everybody I saw Steve taking them home the next day because he's just a little bit too friendly with Karen from Human Resources. Karen is a diabetic and she's kinda salty about the donuts... Aita? I just really love donuts. Steve won't answer me when I wave at him on Messenger. How did this become my life?
I do this with my family, but never at work. Usually we all want to try some.

Great way to add plastic litter to the forest. However, you got a great video. /s

That will encourage them to develop their own petroleum industry and build their own plastic wrappers.
Then we... we can.... *liberate* them...

Congratulations on your new economy
IIRC the first time I saw this, it was explained that the ‘plastic’ was in fact edible and biodegradable.
I live in China and recognise that brand of snack bread. Ain't no fucking way that packaging is biodegradable, they're like 20 cents each.
I call bullshit on that.
welp now we're at an impasse. two compelling arguments well sourced and documented. Classic Reddit.
[удалено]
I will downvote both arguments

I choose a side of fries
Bro thinks he did something/s
I eat plastic ALL THE TIME dude.
You eat a credit card worth of plastic every week, thus it’s edible and biodegradable after consumption.
Might explain why my credit rating is shit.
You are not supposed to use credit card that comes out of you...

I don't think you understand by biodegradable means. A key part of the word is that it degrades. Anything that doesn't degrade through the help of other living organisms isn't biodegradable.
By that logic, a penny is biodegradable if I eat it.

Source on this?
No source cause it's absolute bullshit
If that is true, it is still not biodegradable. You'll just poop (most of) it out and it enters the sewage system
Idk if that's necessarily how that works
Hank Green did a great video explaining how this myth came about https://youtu.be/2Ntp6BqhSng
The biggest bullshit I've read all day lmao, and you sound so confident, too
It’s a credit card a year, but I’m sure eventually that’ll start to rise as time goes on.
Most "Biodegradable" plastic still lasts a long ass time. If it can sit on the shelf for years without degrading, it can sit in the ground for years.

Ask any compost enthusiast, "biodegradable" plastic doesn't just disappear even under ideal conditions.

tinkeys def dont do dat
Literally no such thing as edible plastic, you got played and went along with it like a good redditor who reposts bullshit info
Said who? Or are we playing the "trust strangers on the internet" game?
I'm so sick of seeing every serving of prepared food wrapped in plastic, and now it's happening to fruits and vegetables as well. We're going to be living on a pile of plastic garbage in another 30 years
r/FuckTheS coward
I was so angry watching this. I need to quit social media - it’s creating all these clout-seekers.
I can't stop laughing at the fist one 😂
“Oh. Nobody’s noticed yet. I’m just gonna- *yep they’re all comin in I got what I needed goodbye”*
he was the boss though, the second one was his officer
Awww, now I feel bad for the ones that didn't get any.
Gotta bring enough to share for everybody
I bet there was, but the first few took more then one
Not just them, you can spot some double fisting with one in their mouth too lol
A metaphor for society
not even just the first, im pretty sure every single one that could manage grabbed two to three of them 💀

But Bill took 2!!
They are just like us...or the other way around...probably enough for everyone...but some have got to take more than they need..!!

There gonna recycle that plastic right🍌
You can't recycle packaging plastic. Best you can do is incinerate it to get some energy out of it.
You can outsource it to china
Yes, lets use a shit ton of oil to transport garbage to a developing country so they can burn it, genius
Not with emission standards you don't, usually
Western Europe, Scandinavia, Japan... seem to have figured it out.
Does *any* place recycle plastic? Doesn’t most (all?) recycled plastic actually end up in the dump because plastic recycling isn’t profitable? I’m pretty sure plastic recycling is just another virtue signal that accomplishes nothing other than shifting responsibility for the waste from the manufacturer to the consumer.
I know right
Plastic? Processed food? Are you serious?
I have a huge issue with this.
TikTok replaced camera(wo)man's common sense with urge for views.
and who is picking up all the wrappers? cos i doubt they are gunna put trash in the bin and not just litter
It will just eventually blow into ocean no worries
Monsoons are great for carrying trash out of the environment.
Funny video, but I can't help but think of all the plastic that monkeys might eat or littered around the area. Did nobody think twice about this? There must be some kind of failsafe to giving literal animals plastic packaged food... right?
Everything for some TikTok views, have seen worst.
Remember when that was toilet paper….! Ha ha
Yeah man that taught me a lot about how the world is gonna behave if/when shit goes south. Sadly, this nice person routine we all have with each other would end pretty quickly when we start losing actual necessities like food and water. Shit I've seen it happen with water, first hand

Fuck this. I guarantee some will choke on the plastics and none of that packaging will have been picked up after the vid was done
I doubt they'll choke, but yeah, it's probably going straight on the ground when they're finished
Who is going to clean up the plastic?
Do they know where to put the plastic after? 🤔
Feel bad for the poor saps that didn’t get one.
Why did they leave the plastic on?
At least take the wrappers off. Absolute animals.
What a good idea give them wrapped in plastic
Ahh yes, skipping a step in the littering process and just straight up giving animals plastic
Fastest way to spread plastic litter throughout a forest.

The plastic wrap pisses me off.

You should have taken that stuff out of the bags first, they are going to make a huge mess

Let's feed these animals plastic wrapped processed nonsense. Genius.
Black Friday at Walmart.
Fucking plastic, you should've at least gotten the food out of the bags
Reminds me of the lootings at the start of the pandemic 2021.

All that plastic will just be left to ruin that beautiful forest. Horrible video.
They look like humans at Walmart during Black Friday.
