“Hey honey, would you like to go to Cannibal Island? Oh no, don’t worry, it’s just a name.”

"What he meant is Cannibal Island is actually a peninsula"

The cave of hopelessness!

Why do they call it the cave of hopelessness?

Oh dear not my lad, for it was named after its discoverer, Reginald Hopelessness. The first man to be eaten by the tunneling horror!

Wow. "These people have killed or attempted to kill everyone who came to their island. But maybe if I tell them about Jesus they'll be friendly!"

How many monkeys would you have to kill to become king of monkey beach?

[–] imgonnatrythis@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do they even let you kill them?

A lot of beaches have rules. I've found many are even particular about wearing clothes while sunbathing.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

When I'm monkey king I'll make the rules

[–] electrogamerman@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, yes, i like to sun bath my clothes.

Going to a monkey beach after a monkey attack on that beach? To me that sounds crazy. You may also say its a little looney. Quite daft. A silly decision. And dare I say it? Bananas?

There was a series of movies about someone similar, but with dinosaurs.

Jurassic Park, et. al

Image Transcription:

A world news article by Associate Producer Savannah Meacham titled Aussie family regrets visiting a beach notorious for monkey attacks after being attacked by monkeys at a famous monkey attack beach in Thailand. Below the title is a paused video with two photos side by side, the left one shows a person bent over with a long-tailed macaque running at them, while the photo on the right shows a woman with her hand over her mouth, looking shocked.

All I could think after reading the article is a bout the lipsync song "Stop It Now". I had to ask ChatGPT for a version for this, here is the beginning:

Rockin', rockin', on the shore so fine, To the beach in Thailand, we'd align, But those monkeys came, causing a bind, I said, "Monkeys, hey! Leave us behind!"

Everyone warned us, "Don't head there, beware," "Monkeys gonna come, with a wild glare," And they did, and they did, and they tore through the air, No escape from those monkeys, just despair.

Nothing to do, but shout as they pounced on me, Tried to flee, fell down, laughter from kids did we see, Then, hmm, got hit in the neck with a coconut spree, Mm-hm, hm-hm, how'd it happen? Baffling to me.

Gotta dash, dash, dash (leap) I'll be your backpack while you hurry, Dash, dash, dash, leap, and stop! Let me go free. [...]

Shoking who would have thought that on a monkey attack beach you could be actually attacked by some monkeys ... 🐒

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I have been to one monkey sanctuary in Thailand, exactly once. As the locals told me: it is fun for about an hour and you have no desire to ever do it again.

Those monkeys are mean.

It's always fun visiting places with a lot of monkeys. Uluwatu temple in Bali is another famous place for this. The monkeys there aren't vicious though, but they might rob you blind: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/jan/14/balis-thieving-monkeys-seek-bigger-ransoms-for-high-value-swag-study

They stole my wife's Polaroid camera out of her handbag. :(
