I could bullshit that the smoking chimp is a comment on human nature or whatever, but the truth is: someone sent me this pic, pointing out that he holds his cig the same way that I do when I’m drinking in a photo. And that was right when I was looking for online avatars, since I didn’t want to use devils any more (too “edgy teenager”).
More than a decade later, here I am, still with smoking chimp avatars.

easy to crosstrack yiur profiles though, espexually wutg the same metadata
It is, but I only use it for online identities that I don’t mind associating. Plus the username is a bigger concern in this regard.
Also, often I use other smoking chimp pics, although this one started it out for me.
