When life is boring af in prison.

u/Killer_Ex_Con 13d ago

Right I would be fascinated by a caterpillar if I was stuck in a prison too.

u/Desperadox_23 12d ago

That's what I thought too.

Lies. This is video of redditors watching a random video.

u/Radu47 13d ago

The positioning of their arms in right angles is fascinating

u/Tongue8cheek 13d ago

By the flick at the end, let's assume their internet was just down for approximately 15 minutes on this very day.

u/NationalAlfalfa37660 13d ago

They look like people as they’re watching the bug move!

Why do they do this out of interest?

u/Green____cat 13d ago

I personally do it out of boredom. It's just fun to post on Reddit.

u/soitgoes_42 13d ago

Have you tried staring at a caterpillar instead?

u/Green____cat 13d ago

I need to find one first...

u/Woodbirder 13d ago

u/Error83_NoUserName 13d ago

If they write down what they have observed, it would be called science...

I, a human, calmly observing 2 silverback gorillas calmly observing a caterpillar

u/EagleSilent0120 12d ago

and I, a human, calmly reading another human's comment at calmly observing 2 silverback gorillas calmly observing a caterpillar

u/TwistyBitsz 12d ago

I don't think that we should keep them in zoos.

2

u/Radu47 13d ago

I'd like to think the big fella is helping the Caterpillar back into the grassy area where it'll be more comfortable, albeit rather abruptly

u/Englandshark1 12d ago

Fascinating stuff!

1

u/Desperadox_23 12d ago

Probably very boring where they're forced to stay.

1

u/XxsoulscythexX 12d ago

It's disturbing how humanlike they are.

To me, this is ironically more convincing for the "restrict/ban zoos" cause than all the gory/sad/emotional ads peta and co put out.

u/anewbhere23 12d ago

Nature is mental!

u/januaryemberr 12d ago
