Tap for contextSome woman on the internet said she would feel safer spending a night in the woods with a random bear rather than with a random man

I’m a man and even I would pick a bear

Really? What people do you usually hang around with?

Bears are incredibly strong and dangerous and will kill you just for fun.

I would honestly prefer a random man to a fucking moose.

Man is more unpredictable than bear. I know A bear can kill me, but I have no idea what a random man has in mind for me.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

Sure. I guess it depends on what odds you are comfortable with. I prefer the very small odds of something worse than death or anything happing at all with Man than the high odds of death with a bear.

Where are you getting these odds from? For how many people live in bear regions, go camping/hunting/biking etc, there have not been that many bear attacks. Source

From this scenario I'm obviously assuming you have to be close to the bear for the entire day.

It's not like the bear/man is at the other side of the forest.

And as to where I got my odds from? Well out of my ass. There are no statistics on this extremely specific scenario.

This has a strong "at least they're honest about wanting to kill me!" energy lol.

Or maybe the whole thing is a joke. I honestly can't tell

[-] Darkenfolk@dormi.zone 2 points 6 months ago

The random man probably hasn't anything in mind for you, just minding his own business.

Bear: Couldn’t tell you what he’s up to even if it wanted to

Men: Can actually listen and talk their intentions.

Why is a man less predictable in this case? You all just claim things without the slightest bit of argument behind it… so please tell my why that would be the case.

Thanks.

The scale is shark > bear > man > moose. Don’t fuck with moose.

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 months ago

Large prey animals in general. I see a hippo im running

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 1 points 6 months ago

Won't help, those fuckers go 30 mph. Usain bolt only managed 23 dot something for comparison

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

I mean... on sight doesn't mean they're already chasing, the point is to avoid that

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 6 months ago

Don't make eye contact, don't attract attention, get the almighty fuck out.

Because a nice bear is going to ask for consent, and might snuggle you and…wait. What kind of bear are we talking about?
