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.
Fashion always come in and out of style in a cycle, so that makes sense.
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.
Butt fashion belongs on those golden plates on Voyager (https://tess.lemmy.ca/post/lemmy.ca/54718422).

I won't tell you i have a TikTok channel but there will be signs.

I love you for directly linking the scientific article

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.
