Always nice to hear what the cousins are up to these days
First they use tools, now wheatgrass enemas.
What's next ? more gas burning cars on the road?
a colon scrubber.
Grass in the butt!
For those saying Figure or it didn't happen, from the paper
That's one chimp's kink, not a trend.
Also, I did not expect to write that sentence.
"Meanwhile, in the other group, a male named Juma was identified as the possible innovator of the daring new grass-in-butt variation, which spread to most of his group mates within a week, according to the study."
So apparently it wasn't just his kink. Most of them had a twig up their ass, lol
A couple others tried, but it's Juma's thing
Seems like grass-in-rectum is not a hit
It is with Juma
Weird science
… which is the style at the time…”
Not any weirder than attaching plastic hairs to your eyelids.
Your brown-eye lid 😜
Shockingly similar to Homo sapiens.
Only a matter of time.
Oh shit. There goes the planet!
We're legally banning chemtrails up in hurrr
chimps providing proof that tails and ear fluff is desireable, therefor kemonomimi is endgame looks
Ears and tails become couture, confirmed!
So you're saying we're basically chimps.
Juma, you wouldn't get it darling it's called fashion
why is it always butt stuff with chimps?
It's cash, ass or grass. Two out of three ain't bad.
I said what what!
“Hey, did you see Coco? She had a whole fistful of grass in her ass. It was so hot!”

Like Voyager II leaving the solar system, humans passed Idiocracy and kept going. At current velocity, is it possible this is a papyrus tabloid headline from 25 years in the future?
Can't deny my love for grass either!👍💋😋
A bit late to be an earphone cargo cult
They might've learned that from me ... Sorry guys.
This looks so rad. Anyone knows where I can buy a nice ear glass?
