It would never happen because as soon as they take a little too much, they'd be kicked out of the troop. Like with everything else, overpopulation is a big part of the problem here. A human troop kicking you out doesn't have huge consequences like it did when we lived in groups of 150 or so.
In reality, the starving monkeys would kill the shit out of that monkey and take all his bananas to share with everyone else.
Based and monkey-pilled.
We shouldn't have invented weapons ☹️
Anything can be a weapon if you have enough imagination... including bananas.
Don't worry! If only the other monkeys allow that one monkey to own and monopolise all the banana trees, eventually some of the bananas will come trickling down to them... in the form of ~~ape~~ monkey piss.
//Edit: terminological correction
monkeys are not apes
Thank you for the insight, good Sir or Madam! I will not stick my head in the sand like an ostrich, but will henceforth use imagery that is in line with our modern understanding of biology.
They're both primates, most monkeys have a tail, while most apes do not.
Thank you for clarifying! Now I'm no longer blind as a bat to this fact.
Trickle down something I dunno I wasn't paying attention
Bananas rapidly devalue the longer they are held, cash stored in a bank or pretty much anywhere else increases in value
No, cash doesn't. That's the one benefit of inflation. It causes cash to lose its value over time. It encourages people to invest. But the wealthy don't horde cash, they horde ownership and I'm sure that's basically what you meant.
That's what I said, bananas hoarded aren't being invested
cash stored in a bank or pretty much anywhere else increases in value
You quite literally said cash being hoarded increases in value.
I literally said cash stored in a bank or pretty much anywhere else increases in value
Do you store your cash in a jar under your bed? That's pretty much the only place it doesn't accrue interest
A bank will give you a laughably low interest that will not keep up with inflation. Rich people are not doing that. It's okay to just say, thanks for the correction, and then move on with your life. You don't have to get defensive for no reason.
You sound pretty defensive, borderline bananas even
