Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This is his second time going too, according to the story. He left a soda and a coconut. I'm tryin ta understand the mentality behind this... Its the second trip that's got me flummoxed, i can't just write it off as drive we all share to do what's not allowed? Why is this cat fixated on this island?
leaving them a coconut is like going up to a random white person and leaving a jar of mayo on their doorstep
strange choice
In early attempts to contact them that went successfully they met in shallow waters and appeared to enjoy the gift of coconuts.
Im not defending the guy but its not out of nowhere. This would have been a generation or two back for the sentinelese as well though, so no telling if the same acceptance would be met today
I'm not saying it's not strange, but so long as it's not tampered with I'd appreciate the gesture.
Unless one or more of them dies from the diseases that are on it that the broader world is immune to.
Also, considering they historically have attacked all intruders to the island, they would probably just hurl it into the sea.
You're reading far too deep into a comment that I'd appreciate someone leaving a jar of mayonnaise on my doorstep.
Guessing white savior complex
Welp,under capitalism people will do a lot of dumb shit to accumulate paper.
