Context: Some 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

Some woman

Not "some woman" — quite a few women. Lots of women.

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 (1 children)

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

[–] lud@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago

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

[–] Ragnarok314159@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 months ago

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

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

Changes their answers considerably

Why do you feel the need to make this racist

[–] Mammothmothman@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago

Don't feed the troll.

beardown

did... did you make this account just to insert racist bullshit into the bear meme?

[–] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 2 points 6 months ago

Even more surprising is that it's a reference to a show that makes fun of racism and racist people all the time. 'Bear down for finals'
