Ha. Nice. What is interesting about that scenario is the human would be loading up on protein (probably meat based diet) and working hard to gain that, and the gorillas sit around eating a vegetarian diet and have massive muscle mass just because.
gorillas sit around eating a vegetarian diet and have massive muscle mass just because they metabolize different kinds of protein MUCH more effectively than humans do and also are much more physically active than the average human
Fixed it for you.
This would, of course, change if said gorilla had to sit at a desk for 40 hours a week.
I mean… The zoo gorillas were looking pretty jacked the last time I saw them.
Definitely a little but probably not as much as you’d think.
Humans produce a protein that forcibly limits our muscle growth and its impact is kinda crazy. Gorillas produce a bit of it too, but it’s a drastically lower amount. It’s called myostatin if I remember right, there is a dog that sometimes has a mutation where they barely produce it too and the differences between a regular one and a mutated one is pretty extreme. Look into ‘Bully Whippets’ if you want some interesting reads.
I’ve seen photos of super muscular cattle, it’s crazy to the point that cows have difficulty birthing calves.
If this web search leads me to some fetish site I’m gonna get mad at you. Or a bit horny, depends on the kink I guess.
TIL 😄
i dunno. a silverback gorilla would have much the same reaction as i would to PC LOAD LETTER
Fair
Brb gonna go throw a gorilla into some nuclear waste and get it to bite me.
aw dude why waste all that nuclear waste on a gorilla when you could have a mandrill bite you
cool faces and inflatable asses. why would you pass that up.
Because mandrillman is already my tinder profile name.
it seems more like we’ve found a (dear gods gag me but it’s the right word) synergy we could exploit
But what if the gorillas stopped sitting around and actually worked to build muscle mass? We’ve never actually seen a gorilla that was trying to get as big and as strong as he could.
I don’t know about the physical activity. Gorillas are known for not moving around much. But they lack the muscle size regulation that we have.
Well That was my point, we work at it they don’t. And most of bro dude protein intake is wasted
I was gonna object that it’s a vegan diet, because they’re presumably not gonna do eggs or milk, but apparently not strictly vegetarian either:
Mountain gorillas spend about a quarter of their day eating, mainly plants. Around 85% of their diet is made up of leaves, shoots and stems, but gorillas can also eat larvae, snails, ants, and even roots, barks and rotting wood (a good source of sodium/salt).
There is basically nothing that isn’t a. opportunistic carnivore. Eating meat is just way more efficient (in terms of nutrition and calorie density) than eating plants.
I was raised vegetarian and still am but i learned how to hunt and clean game just in case
Bro vegan athletes win in the olympics, in strong man, in sprints, in marathons, all over the place. They have to work hard for it, sure, but there’s nothing special about meat protein.

This hurts me. The term is ‘yoked’ as in strong as an ox that can bear a yoke, not ‘yolked’ as in somehow related to egg slime. Hugging gorillas is very wholesome though.
Yolked because of all the albumin
Also being able to open that one pickle jar without the neighbor kid laughing at me.
Hold it upside down and strike it with the underside of your fist. It lets air in like the knife method while looking badass.
I will never be able to open that one pickle jar without the Xelayan kid laughing at me.
Knive in jar lid side, wiggle until it bubbles.
Bottle opener. Or spoon, even. Just barely lift the edge of the lid to let in a little air.
*yoked
I was looking for an egg joke. It’s as egg as the nose on plain’s face.
I always thought from hearing it that it meant they ate a lot of raw eggs, since that is sometimes associated with bodybuilding. I guess it means you look like an animal that would normally be yoked together to pull a plough or some such
Nope, just a homophone. Though several companies cash in on body building pseudoscience with that.
No it’s like how you yoke an ox or draft horse.
I’m very sad that they didn’t put together “large barge”
well it looks like we’ve got to recut it
Because they want other guys to find them attractive.
If you don’t train: “I love you, brother but you’re hug game is weak.”
That won’t work. That guy is going to get his arms ripped off.
What a fucking idiot.
There are no known cases of Gorillas attacking humans.
Dicks out for Harambe!
But humans attacking gorillas and getting their organs ripped out are a different story.
He’s got a hug!
So yolked! I bet he drives a souped-up car!
Or that he beats his wife with a whisk.
too far? too far.
Yolked? Maybe that’s part of the joke, but you can’t trust anyone to use words right in a professional setting like webcomics.

Seems to be the right word?
Maybe one is a malapropism of the other? https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Yoked

Are they fighting or hugging
Hugging, look at those smiles!
Return to Monke.
Jane Goodall wasn’t jacked.
EDIT: Actually, I should’ve used Dian Fossey as my example since Goodall studied chimpanzees. Fossey wasn’t jacked either, though.
Dudes rock
