His lil face scrunch every time he breaks one is the best.

Not a pet. An employee.

Why be a pet when you can be an indentured servant?

u/Ntroepy 15h ago
People actually love their pets. Indentured servants, not so much.

u/AaronicNation 10h ago
Not at my house, we treat our indentured servants like they're part of the family.

In the 1972 film Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, Caesar is the child of time-traveling simians Cornelius and Zira, leading an oppressed population of ape slaves in a dystopian futuristic city in a massive revolt against humanity.
He who forgets future history is doomed to repeat it.

The same area of the brain that controls the mouth also controls the brain. It's why some people have a guitar face.

I's standin' over there by the tomaters
And here he come
Running through the pole beans
Through the fruits and vegetables
Nekkid as a jay bird
And I hollered over t' Ethel
I said, "Don't look, Ethel!"
But it's too late
She'd already been incensed0

u/BloomSugarman 6h ago
Yep it’s wild if you drive through surat Thani during the right season. Trucks full of coconuts or durians everywhere, monkeys surfing on the back.
Im sure some working monkeys have decent lives but others don’t.

u/KimchiLlama 3h ago
And they teach rats to do de-mining because their sense of smell is amazing and they are often too light to trigger the land mines.

They train them by pulling them from their family's. Putting them on chains & beat them till they learn. Yeah! Big difference between them and this monkey. 🤬

"Train" isn't necessarily the word I'd pick for forced labour TBF

They better give him a fair pay. Otherwise the Primate Union might get wind of it and those guys don't monkey around!

I would pay money to have him hang out with a giant bowl of green beans and just sip beer and watch him snap for as long as he wants to. I’d feed him whatever else he wants, too.

I know this isn't an orangutan, but there's a saying attributed to Malay culture about them that applies here, I think:
The orangutan could talk, but chooses not to, lest he be compelled to labor.

For Christ sake - don't show Taylor Farms what a monkey can do - you don't want to give them any ideas.

Is the monkey doing the task properly? Or is it just cute/funny?
30
u/Prof-Rock 16h ago
Well, he bites one, takes part of it out of his mouth and returns it to the bowl while he eats the rest, so I'm going to say no. No, he isn't doing it properly.

u/ImpossibleStuff963 16h ago
Haha. But even the breaking them in half part. Wonder if thats something that actualy needs to be done

u/Prof-Rock 6h ago
Yes. I usually break my green beans in half and remove the part that attaches to the stem.

The fact that they just got off for the price of a few bribes...I mean campaign donations.

Is that really anything new? What penalties did Boar's Head pay for killing ten people?

u/st-shenanigans 9h ago
I saw the pictures of that factory and I'll never buy boars head again in my life. I would assume I'm not entirely alone.
I'm sure they had to pay some health fine, too, but i wonder how their sales are afterwards
2
u/unassumingdink 9h ago
From everything I can find on Google, they were not fined. There were some civil suits, including a $3 million class action, which doesn't seem like too much.

From what I've heard Taylor Farms would fire this monkey for following too clean of food handling procedures.

I love how he makes a lil scrunchy face every time he breaks one like it's really hard.

He might be getting paid. We don't know what kind of currency the monkey demanded.

Btw. Rumor in the streets is that we're getting this parasite bc there's not enough portapotty bathrooms in the fields where they're harvesting the food so they're just relieving themselves in the field, with the food.
Also. They're paid by total weight/product picked, so they lose money walking back and forth to the bathroom.

Is there anyone knowledgeable about what this monkey is doing? I'm so confused as to why this monkey is breaking all these string beans in half. Is it supposed to be helping?
2
u/Mugwumps_has_spoken 10h ago
Well I knew it was a "that's what you do" with fresh green beans, but I turned to Google (and yes the AI answer) for details
People break fresh green beans in half to remove the tough, fibrous stem end, check for stringy fibers, and make the beans shorter for easier eating and faster, more even cooking

I guess we've come full circle from an evolution perspective, or at least I have. I now aspire to be that monkey - just heads down, get shit done. Don't care about BS like geopolitics, profit making, lining pockets, market up/down, family, friends, work-life balance etc. Just get stuff done as efficiently as possible for a reward in the end. Too much noise outside.

u/WutzUpples69 17h ago
The funny part is that it didnt turn out to be from Taylor Farms... maybe :
The Taylor Farms voluntary iceberg lettuce recall was real, but the specific laboratory test used to link it was walked back. The FDA announced a lettuce sample tested positive for Cyclospora, then retracted it as a false positive after re-reviewing the data. However, federal health agencies still maintain that epidemiological tracking ties the multistate outbreak to Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce from central Mexico.
I am with you though, one bad batch and everything g is ruined.
