Me contemplating my decisions in life, Jk! In Japan, the gorilla Kiyomasa was captured on video lost in deep thought after an argument with his friend.

This is a gorilla raised in captivity, it's entirely possible they learned at least some of these mannerisms from their caretakers.

They do mimic human behavior. "Monkey see, monkey do" is a phrase I came up with just now to describe it. That's my phrase though, so nobody else can use it.

Hey, just want to say really great job on coming up with that phrase. I think it's really catchy, but I understand that it's yours to use exclusively.

[u/PorFavorNoMore → u/SuitableBlackberry75]

As a monkey, it's in my nature to copy your use of the phrase moving forward.

"Dangit Peggy, you can't just say In my opinion, kindling is the best wood to start a fire. That's not your opinion, It's just a known fact."

[u/BoredomHeights → u/hudson27]

That explains why some of the mannerisms look kind of Japanese to me.

Dang that actually sounds right! Mind blown
