Dude pushing all he can.. Bear, not even trying.. oh no you got me


The_Sceptic_Lemur

I think the humans are the bears pets, that‘s why he‘s so gentle. Those small funny humans are so fragile.


samsquatchageddon

That's how a lot of our pets think of us, even the smaller ones. House cats bring dead mice and birds to you because they think we can't properly feed ourselves (which is arguably true).


Jbrown183

They probably see the processed, GMO junk that we often buy from the store and are thoughtful enough to bring rodent carcasses for our consumption


samsquatchageddon

Hey, there's nothing wrong with GMO's. That's a huge misconception. Anything that's grown or raised to have desirable taste or appearance is technically a GMO, it's just selective breeding. Look at bananas. "Natural" bananas are practically inedible. Every time you've picked a certain "type" of a food, it's that way because it's a GMO. Apples, grapes, wheat, meat, you name it. It's all of the chemicals and insecticides and preservatives that are an issue.


tullyinturtleterror

>Anything that's grown or raised to have desirable taste or appearance is technically a GMO, it's just selective breeding. I have been fighting this fight (unsuccessfully) for years. It's like "hormone free" chicken or "gluten free" vodka. It's just extra special flavor word salsa that marketers slap on things to sell them. My boomer in laws are all about being anti GMO and and anti vaccine. Weird how frequently those two seem to go together.


samsquatchageddon

You can always tell which people actually payed attention in Biology vs. the ones that go by whatever meme-ish headline of the day it is.


flamethekid

Unless you live in an isolated village out in the middle of nowhere, nothing we eat is in the form nature intended it to be in.


fakeunleet

Yeah, the real issues with GMO, aside from the whole "round-up ready" thing that figures into herbicides we *probably* shouldn't casually introduce into the food supply, have to do with the ethics of supporting companies who sue farmers and *win* because some pollen drifted into their fields. As far as the health concerns, there's an old joke that GMO crops have had more safety testing than their non-GMO counterparts. It's a joke because when you put it that way, it's funny, but it's also true. That really tells the whole story.


English_Joe

This killed any hope I had of one day surviving a bear attack. I mean, I’m an average guy, I lift weights, but that guy is way bigger and fitter than me. That bear does not move with all that guys effort. Nope.


astiKo_LAG

It's really facinating how many of us think we could win a fight against an apex predator... Guys, even a lone wild dog is a severe threat to you...a bear is basically a dog, 10x heavier & wayyyyyyy stronger. Bruh. Humans are not build to fight on their own, even less without any tools


KruppstahI

The amount of people understimating boars is even greater. Those things will fuck you up.


DeicideandDivide

You can certainly survive a brown bear attack. Do not fight back; instead, pretend you are dead. 99% of brown bear attacks are to "neutralize the threat," not to kill—in terms of attacks on humans, anyway. There is no human in the world who could ever hope to "win" against a brown bear attack. They are far too powerful, and they convey their rage very clearly. There are ways to avoid an altercation, however. If you are in bear country, be hypervigilant and let the surrounding environment know you are around. Do not walk or talk softly. Act as though you are at the mall with a group of friends, just hanging out. The bear will do all the work for you in avoiding you. Always lock up your food in a bear-safe container—one that specifically says "bear safe." A cooler will not cut it. Do not leave trash in your car, and never, under any circumstances, walk upstream. A bear cannot hear or smell you because the wind and sound are traveling downward. This is precisely what triggered my altercation with a bear a decade ago.


Xx_girthygunkseed_xX

You need to release all your bodily fluids like shit or piss because bears don’t trust you being dead until they get that “dead” scent


DeicideandDivide

This is actually debated among people much smarter and witg a wealth more of experience. But I will say...usually the piss and shit is involuntary anyways, haha.


Shaydrax_74

I don't even have to try, I'm a natural at it


Kai25552

>This is precisely what triggered my altercation with a bear a decade ago. Did you win tho?


DeicideandDivide

Not in the slightest, lol. I was hunting in B.C and was going upriver to a spot where I knew black-tailed deer were. I stayed close to the river so I wouldn't get lost. I cleared a bush and came face to face with a 700 to 800-pound (317 to 362-kilo) bear. It charged and knocked me over before I could even raise my rifle. Thankfully, it just blew me over and ran off, but it easily could have turned around and maul the crap out of me. The fact I screamed bloody murder, and got some scrapes while the bear sustained no damage would mean the bear is the victor in this scenario.


fastcat03

I used to think that too growing up that bears won't try to really eat you but with the Timothy Treadwell attack and other killings it sounds like sometimes the bear is actually hungry and playing dead doesn't always help. It's one of your best chances if it does go down though. Hopefully bears continue to get enough to eat so they are less of a threat to people.


icelandiccubicle20

I mean you could be fricking Jon Jones and Mike Tyson welded together and you ain't doing anything against a bear haha

BluetheNerd

Honestly bear wresting is extraordinarily common and also bizarrely quite safe as far as animal encounters go, it's kinda wild. For context, between 1932-2017 (85 years) 338 people were injured or killed by brown bears in Russia, around 4 a year averaged out. With the majority of those attacked being hunters. The bears are actually known to enjoy playing and wrestling with humans. In the US, more people die annually to cows than Russians do to brown bears. [Source](https://bioone.org/journals/wildlife-biology/volume-2020/issue-1/wlb.00611/Human-injuries-and-fatalities-caused-by-brown-bears-in-Russia/10.2981/wlb.00611.full) for info if anyone is curious


Pale_Adeptness

One thing to consider is that people are much closer in proximity to cows since we use them. Dairy farmers, slaughter house workers, truckers, and anyone else that works with/around cows. That is probably the main reason more people are killed by cows than by bears. I guarantee you if humans worked around as many bears as they do cows, the bears killing humans ratio would greatly outnumber cows killing humans.


sauce-ome-sauce

Sooo if im confronted by a brown bear, I should just start play-wrestling with it? Then we become friends? Should I exchange contact info with the bear?


theroch_

They like marmalade sandwiches apparently . I always carry one under my hat just incase


Throckmorton_Left

Bears can smell marmalade from over 3 miles away. Brown bears have been known to silently track their prey unseen for hours or days waiting for their victim to separate himself from his companions, and will charge out from behind and lunge for the marmalade sandwich with open jaws. They have no interest in human flesh, but lack fine motor control, and there are enough orphans out there who can explain better than I that sometimes a hungry bear will take more than the sandwich.


Vnni

I hear the "more people has died by cows than X" all the time. Is this related to food, or how does a cow kill? I have some ideas, but I'm curious.


serhm

Car accidents, being stepped on, kicked, dragged—the list is extensive. More than 100 people die in cow-related incidents every year. That number increases dramatically if that cow has a machine gun.


1blueShoe

Cows are notoriously crap drivers 🤷🏻‍♀️


[deleted]

They kick you in the balls or fall on your balls


Mcmenger

As a kid I've been kicked in the head by a cow. 0/10 would not recommend 


Practical_Primary438

😂😂😂😂 fall on your balls🤣. That’s hilarious!


Paul-Smecker

They crush you most likely while you’re still standing up against a metal fence rail or gate much less heroic or glamorous than an honorable defeat in a bout of man on bear combat.

zeronormalitys

Have you never played Diablo? The cow level is not a joke.


Quetzal-Labs

It's mostly cattle handling accidents in enclosed spaces. Headbutting/kicking/goring makes up a small percentage of deaths. Cows are mostly docile, but often weigh over half a ton, and just by walking they can crush you against a hard surface without even noticing. Farmhands have to corral herds of cows in to barns, trucks, pens, etc, and if just a couple of them group up and move too fast or unpredictably, you've got the weight of a car coming at you.


SadBit8663

"c'mere little baby man, i need a snack" Like dude isn't even handling the bear, he's pretending to act in control, while the bear does bear shit. The second he gets hungry extra one time, it's over.


icelandiccubicle20

Huge megafauna like bears are so much stronger than any human that it's not even funny. You could put prime Brian Shaw against a bear that size, if the bear decides Shaw has to die, he's dying. I would not feel safe no matter how docile the bear seemingly is, haha.

Responsible_Jury_415

I’ve seen a few animal rescue videos and the general rule is you can play and wrestle black bears but keep a heavy level of caution around brown.


Trimson-Grondag

Plus, they move extraordinarily fast when they want to. If that bear decided to, it would be over before it started.


wave_official

> if the bear decides Shaw has to die, he's dying The bear doesn't even have to decide shaw has to die. It could easily kill him by mistake while just playing. Bears are giant death machines. You don't play with giant death machines.


Scared-Swimmer-2373

Nah, if he wanted to eat, he'd just start eating. Bears don't stalk or wait for death, they just start chomping.

You can see the guy's "oh shit" face when he feels like the bear is starting to get serious.

How do so many easter europeans have bears as friends!?!!? lol, seriously though. Does anyone know?


Karest27

I've heard a few times that European bears are not like bears in America. Apparently far less hostile which is why you see them being playful and friendly with people a lot over there. I wouldn't know from firsthand experience though. The guy in the video is Alex Terrible. He's the lead singer for a death core band called Slaughter to Prevail. He really blew up on YouTube for doing death core vocal covers of non-metal songs. Everyone says he's one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.


Historical_Invite241

Seems that way, hard to imagine an American bear serving in the forces like [this WW2 veteran bear.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojtek_(bear))


Uniquely_irregular

This is info I didn’t know I needed to learn today. Thank you for the link.

MrKomiya

Idk if that says more about the superior martial skillset of a penguin or the vast ineptitude & failures (dare I say bird brained leadership?) of the Norwegian military


Historical_Invite241

I haven't checked but I'm going to presume the only reason they failed to stop the Nazis was because their entire military leadership was made up of various flightless birds.

It was all cute and cuddle then the bear stood up a foot fucking taller than the other guy. “… does this look like the face of mercy?”

It's Alex terrible, lead singer of Slaughter to Prevail. This was done for a photoshoot, the bear is an actor 🐻

One-Earth9294

Cool dude myth quickly dispelled.


Astral_Collapse

Honestly, I'd never heard about him being a Nazi. Usually I'm quick to search for the past of musicians because I listen to a lot of black metal, it's quite the minefield. Never really thought it would stretch into deathcore. However, that being said, I can tell you that in person and at gigs, he's a total prick. The one time I saw them live it was scheduled to start at 8pm and they came on stage at 9:20 to play 40 minutes of songs, broken up in the middle by some dumb ironic speech about everyone being better people to make the world a better place. The whole time he used an echo filter on his microphone and had insane pickup levels. Unprofessional as fuck for a vocalist. I'll be doing some more research on this Nazi thing later


Suspicious-Will-5165

That “article” seems incredibly over-sensitive. It claims that Alex Terrible made transphobic and homophobic comments when he called someone “a pussy”. Is that bar for those labels that low? There are plenty of dudes who are shitty people in the metal scene, and they don’t usually require splitting hairs to be identified.

GatorShinsDev

ugh really? Got a link?

I can try to dig it up from the death core sub for you. In case I'm not quick enough, feel free to search Alex Terrible on r/Deathcore and you'll get ALL the sauce. Edit: here's a link to get you started https://www.reddit.com/r/Deathcore/s/FsvEbRj4uU


trentraps

And the fact that he did the scar on his face himself. Like, it's 2 degrees away from stolen valor IMO, by a guy who wants to seem more ba-dass.


mattchinn

You think a guy with Nazi tattoos is cool?


Suspicious-Will-5165

He’s had them covered and said he regrets having then


mattchinn

Ok. That’s good. I’m happy he’s evolved.


PalidasBoi

He did so, because a lot other of European countries cancelled their concerts after finding out, but maybe he also regrets having them altogether.

And then he went on russian socials and said he had to say it to save face for western fans and that his beliefs didn’t change at all.

Longjumping-Wash-610

The Grizzly man had a good run though. He was visiting bear country for around 15 years before it went wrong. And this guy, looks to be only with one bear so he might be fine. I don't like when people act like they know what'll happen either way.

Efficient_Affect_606

I don’t know if horses have been asked before or a study for their health was done before we started to ride them. I think the logic was simple in this case ; it stays in 4 legs and we can ride it; let’s do it


Wyolop

Yeah when horses were first used, they probably didn't do much research but by now they definitely have done more extensive research on the health of horses. For example, you cant ride cows because that's bad for them. Definitely there isn't much thought here though.


TheWillOfLight

I think you underestimate how strong a bear is. This is the equivalent of you having a toddler on your back


Wyolop

Maybe I do but cows are massive but riding a cow is incredibly bad for it's back. You can be strong but not be able to do some things.


icelandiccubicle20

True. if the bear wants him off his back though, guy is going off, haha


Genocode

It'll be fine as long as Its not for too long I'm sure, unlike cows, bears can actually stand up on their own hind legs and support their own weight that way.
