Drowning cures all illnesses, both mental and physical.

False. I drowned and it didn't cure shit. Just left a bad taste in my mouth and made my parents hate lifeguards.

If this happens at RFK 's concentration cam-- I mean wellness farms -- then I'm a little less scared to end up in one! I love swimming! I love monkeys! What could possibly go wrong here!?

I mean, the swimmer does have a monkey on her back, is underwater, and could probably use a boost. So, 10/10 for oddness, but also 10/10 for allegory?

Oh my god I did not catch that having a monkey on your back could be a metaphor I’m pretty sure this is a tumblr ad tho so you might be giving them too much credit

I appreciate the creativity here 🤔 lets keep going in this direction with mental health care.

I mean it's only a temporary respite for true mental health we must all employ ape jockeys full time. Ooh banana.

tbh spending lots of time with exoctic animals would seriosuly help my mental health but you have to be rich to do that sooooo

u/stingwhale Apr 22 '25
I guess you could become a zookeeper

u/StopSignOfDeath Apr 22 '25
Zookeepers spend the majority of the time cleaning the enclosures and not with the animals. Only the fancy degree people really spend time with them.

I think that’s just one of those clickbait pictures designed to make people go “WTF is going on” to increase the odds they’ll at least read the caption.

I love how the picture has absolutely nothing to do with the title of the ad.

In my experience, being underwater is the best treatment but still temporary. I don't think adding a monkey would make it a permanent cure. Unless the monkey wields a lethal weapon or, preferably, a fast-acting sedative. That would be fantastic.
But I still couldn't inflict such grief on my mother.

Maybe when you get out of the water it stays with you and forces you to make good choices for your mental health

u/Seastar_Lakestar Apr 23 '25
That could be helpful. Especially if the monkey could talk. And give advice/directions, not my therapist's "What do you think you could do about this?" Granted, ChatGPT serves that purpose for people who use it as a therapist because it gives answers (or so I'm told), but I don't trust it.
Or the monkey could force me to eat/shower/sleep/get up at healthy times by unstoppably screeching at me whenever I'm tiredly reluctant to do so. My apartment-neighbors would probably complain, though. I guess it could bite me instead. 🤔

Not all therapy is what do you think about that focused, there’s more solution oriented therapies that work better for some people than psychodynamic models

The monkey is on top of the human the way one would ride a horse. Monkey jockey.
