For all our technological advancements, humanity remains hilariously vulnerable to nature’s antics. Case in point: Sri Lanka just experienced a nationwide blackout, and the culprit wasn’t a cyberattack or a catastrophic system failure—it was a monkey. One particularly mischievous primate apparently took it upon itself to test the structural integrity of a power grid, and, well… the grid lost. If ever there was proof that we need to upgrade our infrastructure, it’s the fact that one rogue monkey can plunge an entire country into darkness.
