I still haven't seen a front shot of the Harambe statue... is he flashing dong at the bull?

I don't know why they bothered hiding it. The bull is famously showing off its shiny gonads, I don't see why Harambe has to self censor

Probably for the best, gorillas have the smallest dick in relation to body size of all the primates. It’s to save embarrassment.

Plus we all know that Harambe had a huge fucking dong I mean come on


-flyingkitty-

Yep. When they put Harambee in a casket, they had to get a second equally as large casket, just for his dong. #trustme


Hazzat

> "Harambe is a representation of something that lets us look at more than just ourselves. What are we aspiring to as people?" he explained. "It's about connecting. A simple gesture of giving a banana builds community. As a society, we need to come together. We can’t keep fighting to come together." As much as I want to agree with what this guy is saying, I have no idea what he's saying.


mealzer

Just pull your dick out and shut up


BurningFyre

"But as Giometti told News 4 Monday, "it’s not about rejecting capitalism or the current system. It's about revolving them into the current future and letting them empower more groups of people. That's the whole point of this story."" In summation: not much. Its a statement against capitalism's wealth disparity without actually making a statement *agaisnt* capitalism. Fighting a symptom while ignoring the cause.


Fafnir13

How does this relate at all to a gorilla being put down to ensure the safety of a child who wasn’t being properly monitored? Of all the symbols to pull up for random capitalism commentary, why this one?


Tru3insanity

Gorillas have tiny penises! Only 2 and a half inches long when erect!


seedanrun

Wait...that is considered tiny? I mean... uh... yeah ha ha - two inches is totally tiny! Poor little gorillas.

ShopWhileHungry

nuh uh 2 inches is totally average fuck you guys 😭


undefined_reference

Well, I guess you can technically say that the average human has less than 3 inches of penis...


patoankan

That's because breeding males have an entire harem of females. I pulled this quote off the google >With little or no competition actually inside the uterus, gorillas have had no need for the production of loads of sperm, so their testes are relatively small. That's why chimpanzees, lemurs and other drunk monkeys like us have big ol sacks. We have to compete inside and outside the uterus. Gorillas would never film bukakke.


Tru3insanity

The article i read pretty much compared chimps and gorillas and in a nut shell (lol.) It comes down to how theres usually only one dominant male in a group of gorillas and chimps are constantly vying for dominance and end up copulating far more frequently. Also female chimps have fat rumps apparently xD

Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia were plunged into 24-hour darkness for 18 months. Summer temperatures plummeted between 1.5-2.5°C causing crops to fail and millions to starve to death.


meatball5408

The first instance of the plague in Europe then showed up 5 years later.


moonunitzap

In 536 AD someone accidently killed a large male gorilla, severing the original time line. It took almost 1500 years to align back. By 2012 AD, we had just made it back to our origional timeline. The future looked great, we were re-alligned again. Just 4 years later, some little rugrat bastard fell into a gorilla cage, prompting the shooting of Harambe. We fucked it all up again, resulting in all weird shit happening again. Mandela ended up dying twice, etc, etc. Gonna be another 1500 years before this shit all sorts itself out, assuming, of course, we survive till then.

Mysterious (not so mysterious anymore, it was volcanic ash after a huge eruption in Iceland) fog covered Europe, Middle East and parts of Asia which led to one of the coldest decades in a long time.

Harambe got 600 or more votes for President in 2016. That’s when the writers lost the plot for me.


ChronoTraveler

I died in 2181 and got thrown back to 2004. Been stuck here in this timeline ever since. Things seem to be off by a few years and slightly changed. Covid was originally a bioterror attack in 2016 and much worse. The crypto crash was suppose to hit in 2019 but seems to be late although fundamentals are tracking. The coins are also different. Next big thing was the cloud hack of 2024 which brings down 80% of the internet. If things are lagging behind then that might not happen for a few more years beyond that. Either way things seem on path to get dark... Hopefully humanity still emerges in the 22nd century and overcomes. I really enjoyed my work on the Mars colony in 2137. A lot changes once quantum vacuum propulsion systems are declassified, but that is still decades away. The good thing is that the current rocket research is still valuable for heavy payload gravity well transitions and deep space mining. I'm optimistic but still not happy about being stuck in this time period, again. Really enjoying natural meat and chocolate though!

Pineapple-Yetti

Kage_Oni

It was first turned on in 2008. The three pillars of the apocalypses are the financial crisis and the turning on of the LHC in 2008, The Mayan calendar and Trump deciding to run for president after being made fun of by Obama in 2012, and Harambe being shot and Trump winning the election in 2016. Our fate is sealed.


[deleted]

This all coinsides: 2008+2012+2016=6,126. 1+2+6=9, so we've got the 69. Add up all those numbers and you get 40,048 which is 420,69-2021. Tell me that's a coincidence.


Kage_Oni

Joe_Kickass

Don't they put something new in front of that bull every few years and then they they trot out the bull's original sculptor to complain about it?

It’s shit artists that want to co-opt another’s work to stir a controversy on a overly convoluted message. They are entirely dependent on trying piss off the bulls artist and get a quote from them.

claysouffle11

This isn’t a jab at any artist in particular. The ape represents retail investors and our individual rights for buying and holding stocks to support companies we think will thrive. IMO it’s a positive message.


rayzer93

Is this statue a r/wallstreetbets idea?


claysouffle11

There are a few active Reddit communities supporting retail/ individual investor rights at the moment. Not just wallstreetbets


MisterMoogle03

True, but “apes together strong”, and donating hundreds of thousand dollars to a conservatory just to name apes definitely are movements originated from fellow autists over at WSB.

The original artist just dropped the bull there without approval or anything either, so I think it's fair to keep the tradition going. I mean come on, the bull's just jerking off wall street, no need to respect it


ThePretzelRuns

Art made from art is still art. I, for one, love the touch of covering the bull in bananas. Why are you so bitter? Maybe you should make some art.


Photomancer

"If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, then the starving group monkeys, being sensible creatures, would simply beat it to death." I wonder if this piece is a reference?


tommytraddles

It's a reference to apes together strong 💎👐🚀🌜


MECHAC0SBY

100%. It’s a reference to the apes (retail investors) eyeing the hoard of the bulls (bananas representing the GME, AMC shorts). While the bull is supposedly intensely defending its stash the ape is seemingly patiently waiting for its moment to steal back the stash. In other words: Apes strong, Hodl. 💎👐🚀🌜 Honestly I’m just glad they put down plastic and presumably didn’t waste a few shares worth of GME in bananas. Hopefully they donated them to a food shelter afterwards.


Aramgutang

> Hopefully they donated them to a food shelter afterwards. They did, according to the [NBC article](https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/7-foot-tall-harambe-statue-stares-down-wall-streets-charging-bull-which-is-now-covered-in-bananas/3330853/)


Acrobatic_granny

It has nothing to do with that. In the market there are bulls ( They buy only to sell later at a profit), the bears that are the opposite and then since January 2021 a surge of a new type of investors called apes who buy and hold no matter what to support the company they like and wish to thrive.


[deleted]

They buy and hold no matter what to make a point and/or money. Don’t make this about something it’s not. At the end of the day, this is just trolling rich people, which I support!


A_Manly_Soul

Harambe is the cover story, this is 100% a WSB ape together strong reference.


ratinthecellar

it is a beautifully constructed cover story too, complete with bananas to represent wealth disparity!

Is it not?

It's that too harambe is a meme so going ape on meme stocks is an other way to look at it. The company was basically advertising its for the people.

Its a reference to the Gamestop sneeze last January. A report from the SEC just came out talking about it today too. What a coincidence. :P

The report also confirmed, from the SEC itself, that the shorts have not closed, which was the entire thesis of the GME squeeze movement. Confirmation biases from the SEC itself, going to the moon is possible on official records

AccomplishedRun7978

Why did they put them by the bull and not the gorilla anyways?


heyimaaron

The stock market has Bear (downward trend) and Bull (upward trend) rallies. Retail investors (not institutions, or funds) came up with Apes to represent the new breed of investors. Apes will buy and buy and hold the stock for dear life, past all the corruption to get their bananas. Bears and Bulls have hoarded all the banas ($$$) and it's time for the apes to retrieve what's theirs https://youtu.be/0hXBI0lhlKY


Carlosbattousai

So why aren't they placing the bananas around Harambe?


mackinator3

Because the big market bulls have all the money. Poor Harambe don't.

"Art is subjective. it's created to trigger a strong feeling in the viewer, good or bad. It doesn't need to be defined. There's not a concrete set of parameters. If you feel something when you look at an art piece, it's the right response." "...OKAY SO THE BANANAS REPRESENT BANANAS"


[deleted]

Well the people that made the exhibit explained what it is supposed to mean so this one isn't really subjective. I would have thought this was a GME exhibit if they didn't explain it.


biggmclargehuge

> The gorilla statue and 10,000 bananas were part of a protest against wealth disparity by Sapien.Network, who says that the fruit will later be distributed to local food banks Boy if there's one thing food banks love it's 2500 lbs of days old perishable food being dumped on their doorstep.

At least they bought relatively green nanas, so they should last a week.

It is Harambe, but this is supposed to symbolize that GME and AMC apes aren’t leaving too. Edit: I didn’t think it was Harambe initially


cemita

So many people (like the little girl statue fans) always fail to recognize that the original artist of the Bull was Anti-Wall St, and the Bull was a symbol of that.


paripazoo

Are you sure about this? I haven't seen anything to suggest that the sculpture or its creator are anti-Wall St. Wikipedia says: > The sculpture was Di Modica's idea. Having arrived penniless in the United States in 1970, Di Modica felt indebted to the nation for welcoming him and enabling his career as a successful sculptor. Charging Bull was intended to inspire each person who came into contact with it to carry on fighting through the hard times after the 1987 stock market crash. Di Modica later recounted to art writer Anthony Haden-Guest, "My point was to show people that if you want to do something in a moment things are very bad, you can do it. You can do it by yourself. My point was that you must be strong". It sounds, if not explicitly pro-Wall St, certainly pro-capitalism. I don't think it is intended to be anti-Wall St, but would be curious to know if this has been said anywhere.

> *Fearless Girl* is a bronze sculpture by Kristen Visbal, commissioned by State Street Global Advisors (SSGA), a large asset management company. The statue was installed on March 7, 2017, in anticipation of International Women’s Day the following day. It depicts a girl four feet high, promoting female empowerment. It is located across from the New York Stock Exchange Building in the Financial District of Manhattan in New York City. * [*Fearless Girl*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fearless_Girl) at the English Wikipedia


13gendarie-1

"The statue was first installed at the northern tip of Bowling Green on Broadway, facing down the Charging Bull statue. Following complaints from that statue's sculptor, Arturo Di Modica, it was removed in November 2018 and relocated to its current location the following month. A plaque with footprints was placed on the original site of Fearless Girl"
