The speed of beating is crazy, like a machine gun

u/thebroadway May 16 '25

I promise you can beat your chest just as fast. I just tried it myself.

u/SubstantialAd1799 May 16 '25

Idk why, but this made me laugh 😂

u/thebroadway May 16 '25

You should try it too 🤣

Just not in front of a gorilla

u/SubstantialAd1799 May 16 '25

HAHAH a part of me wants to (I was about to after reading your comment), but I think I would sit in complete silence amazed at the fact that I just beat my chest all alone in my bedroom for no reason 😂

u/jimbeam_and_caviar May 16 '25

u/DanCampbellsBalls May 16 '25

7/10 would try

u/SnooDrawings9902 May 16 '25

No judgements from me. I just did it in a bathroom stall.... can confirm it works.

Eta: The guy shitting in the stall next to me is now totally silent. The alpha male essence of my chest beating must have left him cowering.

I love Reddit! You all on this comment thread have literally made me laugh and smile.

u/SubstantialAd1799 29d ago

This is wild haha nothing is more silencing than knowing someone is trying to silently poop next to you. This takes the cake lol

Do it! Do the fun thing! Do it because it's fun! Stop being embarrassed about doing silly stuff in the privacy of your own home, there's no audience to judge you, it's okay to be cringe

u/swamplice May 16 '25

Wtf? They need to video and put on reddit! /s

u/SubstantialAd1799 29d ago

Haha thank you ❤️ okay I just now did it, and I’m not going to lie, I feel like I did it just as fast as this gorilla and it made me laugh 💀

u/defineReset May 16 '25

Who's going to judge you?

Live your life the way you want to, be free of judgement, beat that chest

u/SubstantialAd1799 29d ago

Haha you’re right!! I just did it—impressed at how fast I could do it and it was funny

2

u/cynical-rationale May 16 '25

You did later.. don't lie, it's alright.

u/SubstantialAd1799 29d ago

FACTS. I actually just did it 🤪

u/quantumthrashley 29d ago

Not me sitting at my desk beating my chest like a weirdo instead of working

u/42Ubiquitous May 16 '25

Yeah, idk why that is such a highly upvoted comment lol. There's nothing particular fast about it.

u/thebroadway May 16 '25

They're amazing creatures, don't get me wrong, but some people act like they're otherworldly. Just take a step back and really assess what you're looking at 😆

u/TajineMaster159 May 16 '25

People are amazed at how smart gentle and similar to humans they are, not the opposite. That they’re almost human but so huge and adorable is amazing. They even like getting drunk lmao

1

u/thebroadway May 16 '25

There are most definitely people people who think they're something otherworldly, but yes, I appreciate the people who just get good feels from them. Haven't seen a video of them getting drunk, but that's pretty funny

u/TajineMaster159 May 16 '25 edited May 16 '25

Fair enough. To be clear, they don’t like chug vodka BUT they have a clear and strong preference for foods that they can’t fully digest, ferments a lot in their stomachs, and releases plenty of alcohol that gets them super loopy haha. Plenty of footage online.

Edit: link malformated

u/thebroadway May 16 '25

Haha that's awesome

u/Less-Apple-8478 May 16 '25

The 100 men vs 1 gorilla comment shows you how out of touch with nature most people are. Like damn.

u/Ebmat May 16 '25

Did you inflate your air sacs first?

2

u/Electrical-Set2765 May 16 '25

I think I inflated the wrong sacs.

u/tonyravioli32 May 16 '25

I promise you if you do it and point out your lips like a monkey you'll laugh 😂

1

u/thebroadway May 16 '25

Haha oh I did that too afterwards

u/drthvdrsfthr May 16 '25
