Alt text - two panel comic. First panel, some kind of baboon is in a gas station using an ATM. Second panel, the baboon is smiling and throwing up double gnarly hand gestures at seeing its account balance is 4 raspberries.

      There were experiments a few years ago that attempted to see if some primates could learn the concept of money. A coin could be used in exchange for a piece of fruit. Some primates were able to understand that the coin represented fruit.

      Those primates discovered prostitution soon after.

    I’d like to think that 1 raspberry is the equivalent to 5 or 10 bananas. With 1 banana being worth about $10 US, baboon is doing just fine.

    I only have three raspberries, but they’re functioning as servers instead of providing profit for bankers who are bribing me off with a measly interesst rate.
