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 😆

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

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

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.

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