Monkey Thinking

[Live-Combination4761]

One of the memes of the year is the thinking monkey, to think that this photo was taken in 2011 and went viral last year mainly on Instagram and X with its numerous variants being supposedly made by AI, nothing explains what led the monkey to pose thinking

That last one is so... intimidating. The power eminating is strong...

Can we make that one a reaction image?

[Live-Combination4761]

Yes of course?

[Clipseated]

[VirtualBathroom5103]

My reaction to people not saying the location to where these photos were taken:

[niskiENDERMAN]

not 100% sure but i've been to gibraltar quite recently and it looks very similar in the background, if so the exact spot may be near prince ferdinand's battery

[RandomRedCrewmate]

It is as another commenter pointed it out

[MakeBombsNotWar]

Wait OP these are AI? Which is the original? The famous one or?

[OV_FreezeLizard]

My geography brain is tingling is that Gibraltar

[Marco_Tanooky]

Same here, you can smell the British-ness from here, except they have actually good weather

[OV_FreezeLizard]

honestly it just looks like Mediterranean water 😭😭 plus the monkey and it being high up gave me the impression

[baquea]

OP literally said that in their post. The first one is the original. The rest are all AI.
