Five bucks says all the first messages from men are asking if the woman chose the bear, and if they answer yes calling them some slur.

I’ll take that bet.

How would you like to pay me?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'll send you some rolled coins.

In penny’s please. I’ll let you pay for shipping. :)

Sadly I'm Canadian and we no longer manufacture pennies. Nickels ok?

I don't get it: a bear just makes more sense. Despite their intimidating appearance most are gentle creatures. Their fur and mass can provide warmth, and if you're injured they can easily carry you out of the woods.

If you pick "random man" you might get a twink and I feel like they're more of a liability in a survival situation.

If it's a black bear, fine. But fuck grizzlies, those are mean motherfuckers and you do NOT want to be caught around one.

Oh, they're talking about bear bears -- the animal.

... I feel like the original scenario didn't make that clear.
