    6-7 is different.

    Everything else was a reference to something. It meant something, it had implications. You could play around with it

    6-7 is meaningless. It's not even a subversion of a meme... It's just a noise

    Beauty is pain. Fashion favors the bold.

    1976, chimps crack open the spring runway season with rustic grass earings, embracing eco-design.

    1978, Vultures, unlikely contenders in the birdsphere, shock the fashion world by plunging themselves headfirst, literally, into colour.

    Then, after four long years of (shocker) decorator crabs dominating the covers, the orcas, just when we thought the monochrome mammals had nothing new to offer, seize our fall lineup with dead salmon helmets. A statement on the cold war? On Vietnam? The rapidly decaying environment? The orcas refused to comment.

    Chimps, forgotten but not forgetting, know they need to step up if they're going to make waves again. Beauty is pain. Fashion favors the bold.

    Orcas did something similar, but instead of sticking grass up their ass, they balanced salmon on their heads. They also started this again quite recently after decades.

    The human equivalent of furries with faux tail anal plugs.

    In fact, the researchers suspect the chimps learned the behaviour from people — the ear part, that is.

    Uh huh. Only the ear part.

    Some chimp, “I bet you can’t stick grass up your bunghole.” Some other chimp, “oh yeah, hold my banana, watch this.” Doubtless.

    Jane Goodall was still alive when this article came out. It's nice to know she probably read about that, if not saw this live, before her demise.

    Also there is this band that often plays with roses in their butts (sry, can't find a better link than old.reddit/let_3_had_roses_hanging/). So we def have the same mechanic, not just the same sense for fashion.

    I've also read that scarves can mean something to street dogs (positive or negative), and speculation that them fancy rings we gift birbs to tag them might affect them socially too in some cases.
