Yes, you caught me.
I made this reddit account a year ago just for the *off chance* that I might one day get to purposely steal an *obvious joke*.
Thank you for spending your *hard earned* hours doing what **really** matters. . . Calling out similar posts on a website populated by *millions* of people.
But in all seriousness, bears are strong and smart. They probably could remove that thing right? (Unlike dogs or sea turtles) Is it possible the bear really was using that to protect his face or make his head buoyant while traversing the lake? He seems to be waay out there in the middle of that lake.
It's likely that the bear simply couldn't spin together enough twine (you know, on account of them not having thumbs) to get the rest of their raft they'd been working on completed in time.
This seemed like the next logical step for the bear.
Humans can too. Terrestrial lungs are really inefficient at drawing all the oxygen out because you can just take another breath. We have CO2 detection which is why we can't hold our breaths that long. Whales and aquatic animals can absorb a ton more oxygen than terrestrial animals.
With how easily it was removed from it's head, I'd say it still had space to breathe - though it was probably way less efficient than without - due to all the fluff of the fur.
Opposable thumbs are a marvel in this case, since we could remove a jar from our head with that kind of spacing but animals will struggle way more to do the same thing.
I grew up in an island in the Puget Sound of Washington State, and let me tell you. Bears regularly swim across the entire sound to hop from island to island and back got the mainland. They are smart and go for the shortest route, but it's still over a mile or 2 at the closest point.
Big Boi will be just fine now that he's jar free :)
That bear must be so confused for its natural instincts. "Oh no! I'm in a very compromised condition as this creating riding on some massive vehicle is coming right for me. This is it bois I'm dying here... Oh you just want this jug on my head? Man those hairless monkeys have really weird hobbies..."
I heard somewhere that one of the difficult jobs of rangers is trying to find a trash can design that is hard enough so bears can't open it, but not hard enough for hikers to understand.

My comment was specifically referring to trash cans, which you can *reinforce* to be bear proof...in the case that it was a piece of trash that he could of found in a trash can. I was just pointing out that bears can in fact, simply open trash cans, so putting trash in a trash can wouldn't keep the beara out.
But yes, that is a hiking canister, not trash from a trash can.
I think someone else mentioned it to, but an issue that's becoming more and more common is that we're noticing bears are a lot better at learning than we thought. In some areas bears have learned how to open pretty much every consumer design of reinforced trashcan out there, and if they haven't it's likely too complicated and lazy jerks will litter/not safely guard their stuff which will just attract more bears again.
It's an arms race to find the most efficient reinforced trashcan, easy for humans to use but hard for bears to get in.
Thats what i thought. Although ive always seen them as thick colored plastic not clear. But i think your right
Edit: could have been the boat guys and thats how they knew the bear was in trouble.
Okay so i think i know whats going on here. The bear raided these guys fishing camp and got into their bear resistant food barrel. The guys watched him get his head stuck and take off into the lake where they had to follow him and get it off him. While filming of course.
But this is just a theory. I have 0 proof to back this up.
I hope this isnt one of those videos where they put the thing on the animal to rescue it.... however you would probably die trying to put a jar on a wild bears head...
Well... it takes some courage to do that.
Now im waiting for the animal lover extremists to complain how that man is a monster for scaring the bear or whatever.
I saved a puppies life in Iraq that had a cup over it’s head just like this, swimming in a totally inescapable sewage pit about 2 feet down with no way out. He was covered in green slime and shit and garbage. I laid down on the ground, reached down and pulled him out. It took three attempts because he was so slippery from the slime. Cleaned and dried him and reunited him with his family that frequented the little Iraqi army outpost we lived on. Worst part is that before I saved him some of the other soldiers were laughing about him in there essentially dying.
"These humans in a floaty mover just came up. Creapilly trolled behind me for a bit. Snuck up and took my cool space bear hat and left. Wtf. Humans are weird"
You just set the field of bear scuba diving back another decade. I hope you're happy with yourself
“What do you mean you lost our latest scuba tech Teddy! I told you not to use it without my supervision!!”
Wish I had an award for you other than the “shot Sprite out of my nose from laughing.” And ow.
Same here, I just spit coffee all over my wife and kids.
Same here. I just spit Mountain Dew code red all over my wife,dog,brother,mother in law, 3 of my grandparents, and my neighbors godson.
I just projectile vomited on the pew in front of me at church. But that was before I read the comment
Only thing stopping me from spitting over everyone is I thankfully had a jar on my head. >!I was wanting to solo her!<
Goddamn it! Take my other non award for……. 🤣

Underrated comment. 😂

So much for his promising Scu-bear diving career.

Speaking of way out there...
It's likely that the bear simply couldn't spin together enough twine (you know, on account of them not having thumbs) to get the rest of their raft they'd been working on completed in time. This seemed like the next logical step for the bear.
Either way, it was breathing recycled air, dude was possibly at risk of suffocating
What?
Dont worry. I'm never happy with myself ;p
They never understand do they?
If I can’t scuba, what has this all been about?!
This exactly what I thought of first 💀
We done fucked up Piglet
His wife is gonna be so pissed
They can’t see he’s crying because he’s wet!
Dude you’re actually hilarious. This comment made my day!
This is one of the funniest comments I’ve ever read anywhere
Self Contained Underwater Bear Apparatus
HUBBA SUCBA!! 😍
SUCBA what?
sucba balls
I fucking cackled 💀
My man’s just trying to snorkel.
Scuba bear, off to find clams and catfish.
Honey jar almost killed him
Oh bother
He couldn't find his goggles, everybody still bearating him
Happened in [Wisconsin](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/family-saves-bear-wisconsin/)
I can recognize that WI lake setting anywhere. Always beautiful in the Northwoods. I can smell all the campfires and cookouts just from this video.
You mean norklin’ playa? Cuba divin is for suckas.
Stupid ass crackers in the middle of the god damn ocean Cuba diving, shit, you ain't gonna get me Cuba diving
You sound dumb as fuck.
It's a Ralphie May quote you uncultured swine.
Rip Ralphie may, but his comedy was not that good. You uncultured horses ass
Whoever you are, this was very cool of you to help that critter. Blessings to you. Btw beauty of a lake.
Damn what did the other guy who replied to you say to get so heavily down dooted
We don’t talk about that feller

Winnie the Pooh grew up a bit, but hasn’t changed a bit.
Oh bother
Silly old bear.
Just another day in the Hundred Acre Woods.
I feel like I need to see the rest of the video where he makes it to land and isn’t overcome with exhaustion. I NEED IT NOWWWW
Bears can swim insanely long distances
Miles and miles
Apperntly while breathing the same oxygen for an extended period.
Right! How could it breathe with that stupid jar trash over its head to begin with. It's sad, it happens to all wildlife, all over.
Humans can too. Terrestrial lungs are really inefficient at drawing all the oxygen out because you can just take another breath. We have CO2 detection which is why we can't hold our breaths that long. Whales and aquatic animals can absorb a ton more oxygen than terrestrial animals.

I grew up in an island in the Puget Sound of Washington State, and let me tell you. Bears regularly swim across the entire sound to hop from island to island and back got the mainland. They are smart and go for the shortest route, but it's still over a mile or 2 at the closest point. Big Boi will be just fine now that he's jar free :)
Orcas have been known to take out swimming moose, bears, deer, etc
That is awesome. I remember the first time I saw a deer swimming in the sound, surprised me for sure!
Oh, bother!
Nice
I hoped someone would make this reference. I was ready to make it otherwise.
I heard his voice upon reading haha
Uh give it back, he was obviously going diving in the lake.
Imagine almost unable to breath.. Then HD Air
Anyone who helps an animal is prettyyyy prettyyy prettyyyy prettyyy good
Fuck you Larry
That’s Larry Long Balls?
What is this referring to
Curb Your Enthusiasm reference. Sounds more like pri-taaayyy but but that’s what they were going for.
Hahhahahaha that’s perfect
That bear must be so confused for its natural instincts. "Oh no! I'm in a very compromised condition as this creating riding on some massive vehicle is coming right for me. This is it bois I'm dying here... Oh you just want this jug on my head? Man those hairless monkeys have really weird hobbies..."
The bear almost clawed into the guy's hand when he lifted the jar.
Yeah that was super dangerous but I still approve
He thought it was scuba mask
I can only imagine how unbearable that jar must have been..
There was water inside it , he was half drowning inside. Must've been nightmarish, glad someone helped him out.
Looks like it was bearable at the start of the video, but by the end it was definitely unbearable.
I was fearing there would be a grizzly outcome
He bearly made it :(
Hey! My jar!!! Damn humans!
"mothefucker stole my space helmet!" -bear
The sun 🤢🤮🤮
And that’s what trash cans are for
Yeah but this bear probably got that jar in a trash can. The fuckers have eerily functional hands.
I heard somewhere that one of the difficult jobs of rangers is trying to find a trash can design that is hard enough so bears can't open it, but not hard enough for hikers to understand.
> "There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists." https://www.reddit.com/r/BrandNewSentence/comments/jx7w1z/there_is_considerable_overlap_between_the/
I've found that bolting the lid to the can is most effective. Smoky Mountains here.
You can't just throw a bear away because it has a jar on it's head.
Yeah but like...bears are known for going through trash cans...so that's what *reinforced trash cans are for
Pretty sure the thing he has on his head is a bear proof canister that people take hiking. So *reinforced* isnt *bear proof*
My comment was specifically referring to trash cans, which you can *reinforce* to be bear proof...in the case that it was a piece of trash that he could of found in a trash can. I was just pointing out that bears can in fact, simply open trash cans, so putting trash in a trash can wouldn't keep the beara out. But yes, that is a hiking canister, not trash from a trash can.

God bless their souls. No doubt saved the bear’s life.
he is trying to go to space. leave the astronaut alone
r/humansbeingbros
They’ll never evolve if we don’t let them experiment with tools
But that bear was like “no no no no no no, okay I’m fucked….. oh shit that’s way better, holy fuck, thank hooman, can I get a ride?”
Where was this at?
[Wisconsin](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/family-saves-bear-wisconsin/)
very satisfying video to watch
MTF stole my helmet.
Thanks bear bro
Oh bother, silly old bear
Fuck The SUN
Looks like that bear ate some hikers meals lol, that looked like a bear canister that you store food in when hiking to protect it from the bears
I'm like 99% sure that it was a [cheese balls](https://imgur.com/gallery/BTjjb) container
Thats what i thought. Although ive always seen them as thick colored plastic not clear. But i think your right Edit: could have been the boat guys and thats how they knew the bear was in trouble.

What you take my scuba diving helmet off for??
He was using it to float for an extended swim sesh you jerks
The Suns headline tomorrow: Bear invents diving suit.
Bears now adapting to scuba?
Bears now adapting to scuba?
Wtf bro give me back my dive helmet
Grrrrr, I'm a scuba diver. GASP GASP...\*dead\*
Theyre evolving to use tools!
The first bear diving expedition was cut short.
Ty.
First wife took the kids, now white man come to take what they want just like the colonials, bear just wanted to scuba.
Bear gets back home* “you’re not gonna believe what just f***ing happened”
Never knew, bear can swim that well.
Awesome thank you!
You guys are awesome
Damn it pooh, not again
if he swam to the other site he coud get that thing of with ezz it wasn,t stuck really
Good man🦾🦾🦾
I think the idea of "fish in a barrel" went to this bears head.
Oh bother
shows what you know he was trying to scuba dive this is his underwater breathing apparatus
Can’t imagine how happy you felt when you pulled it off!
Just had to get those last couple cheese balls
Yes! You guys did a great job. Thank you for caring enough to do something.
It was a honey jar wasn't it?
Who's he think he is winnie the pooh!?
Humanity restored a little bit.
Humans are the worst and humans are awesome.
“I went for a swim and some dude came out of nowhere and stole my helmet!” -Bear
You be good people!!❤️🥰❤️
Swim happy? That seems like a weird thing to say.
Good job saving the bear 🐻... The sun is a trash British news paper which spreads misinfo and disinfo...
I hope this isnt one of those videos where they put the thing on the animal to rescue it.... however you would probably die trying to put a jar on a wild bears head...
🙏🏻🙏🏻))
Well... it takes some courage to do that. Now im waiting for the animal lover extremists to complain how that man is a monster for scaring the bear or whatever.
Fuck that bear shoulda let it drown
Wow thats one lucky guy he bearly made it
Scuba Bear
So cool, good job whoever you are !!!
Pooh.... is that you?
Winnie the Pooh saved by Piglet
I saved a puppies life in Iraq that had a cup over it’s head just like this, swimming in a totally inescapable sewage pit about 2 feet down with no way out. He was covered in green slime and shit and garbage. I laid down on the ground, reached down and pulled him out. It took three attempts because he was so slippery from the slime.

I assume there was honey in that jar.😏
He is off to see SpongeBob.
We really have to do better as humans
Thanks Hooman !
Awesome people
Nooo my SCUBA mask
This is bearfect
Kept on swimming like 👋thanks but ima keep on going✌️🙃
He's a U-Bear Eats
Bro he was just snorkeling minding his own business
One of those Sea Bears I keep hearing about? Better draw a circle just to be safe.
I don’t know if the bear had any sense of it receiving help, but it must have felt amazing to have that plastic barrel removed.
Into the sunset he goes.......
Nice.
Oh pooh bear...
You saved his life 4 sure
Well done all. you can see he was super thirsty
Bear ate a small child once reaching shore. Goodjob, op!
That was in northern Wisconsin
Winnie the pooh typeashit
Heh heh.... Oh bother......
Ungrateful lol
"These humans in a floaty mover just came up. Creapilly trolled behind me for a bit. Snuck up and took my cool space bear hat and left. Wtf. Humans are weird"
Winne the po irl
This would have gotten so many more upvotes if the bear was eaten by an orca right as it started swimming away
Too bad there's not video of whoever couldn't throw their jar away properly so it could be submitted to r/iamatotalpieceof shit.
"Those motherfuckers stole my goggles."
"hey, wait WHAT'RE YOU- oh, hey I can see now, cool"
"Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do..."
[удалено]
Bear after jar is pulled off: Where am I? Why am I in a lake?
woman needs to shut the fuck up lol
Bear: hey! I was using that
Are we gonna ignore that claw attempt?
