Ten years ago, this world lost one of its greatest heroes: Harambe, the gorilla. Friend to many and beloved by all, the loss of Harambe left a gaping hole that changed the course of history.
Here are just 10 of the unforeseen consequences of Harambe's death:
Russia invaded Ukraine: Torn apart by Harambe's tragic death, Putin tried to find solace in rebuilding the Soviet Empire. Sad.
The COVID-19 Pandemic: In the wake of Harambe's death, notable gorilla-lover Anthony Fauci vowed to take out his revenge on humanity.
The Rise of Skywalker was made: Producers had actually previously planned on a Harambe biopic before his untimely demise. The change was devastating.
Prince Harry became a pariah in Royal circles: Harry only left England to attend Harambe's funeral, where he met Meghan Markle. The rest is history.
Oil prices tripled: The former Ayatollah was a huge Harambe fan, only turning on America after his death.
New security measures were installed for the gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo: Believe it or not, Harambe's death was responsible for this, too.
Melting of the polar ice caps: The hot tears shed for Harambe literally melted Antarctica.
Re-forming of the polar ice caps: To match our dead, frozen hearts.
Taco Bell launched the Nacho Fries: Will there be no end to the suffering unleashed on us by Harambe's death?
America descended into fascism: Just months after Harambe was killed, Donald Trump was elected president. There's no way that's a coincidence.
Our world has clearly never been the same. We miss you, Harambe.
