Hello folks who wonder whether the “limited‑time offer” promoted by fast‑food chains lasts longer than most relationships,

Ok, let me quiz you on your observational skills.

What distinguishes a person who talks loudly to themselves in the middle of the street...


... and this person doing the same.


The first individual is labeled “SCHIZOPHRENIC” since that person never wears earbuds. 


The second individual represents how you should behave when you own an Apple AirPod: 
never leave the house without them, and announce the plot of your conversation like it’s a public service announcement.


Sometimes when we do not have enough context we try to fill in gaps with assumptions, which can lead to incorrect conclusions.

That is why most people worry about a Bonnet Macaque's health the first time they notice a tumor-like growth near its throat.


Little do people know that bonnet macaques live in social groups with clear dominance hierarchies.


The most dominant, aggressive macaques always grab first pick of the food tourists bring for their Instagram reels. Lower-ranking macaques, when they find food, don’t eat it openly (which would attract the dominant individuals). Instead, they stuff it into their cheek pouches, which can bulge down the sides of the neck when full. 

Once they reach a safer spot away from prying, more aggressive macaques, they take the food out of their pouches and eat it piece by piece.


A baby macaque leaps toward its mother and is instantly wrapped in her embrace. That scene reminded me of how a physical connection is something so ingrained in their culture.


Before long, they’ll trade the protective embrace for the glow of a screen, making moments like this a quaint memory.


Since Google keeps pestering me to add search overviews in my blog posts, here is me trying it out with the critters I mention in my post.
