Black bears are pretty timid, unless their babies are threatened. They might choose to forego a fight, but that’s a load bearing (heh) “might” to put on a hormonal bear

Different black bear, but probably. Japanese black bears are sturdier and constantly angry. They are Tasmanian devils in the shape of bears

Edit: I link to the black bear you were thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_black_bear

It’s pretty good, one of only a handful of shows that I can tolerate rewatching. The humor in unrepentant assholes constantly getting their comeuppance is pretty timeless.

Edit: lemmy, that wasn’t a username, and frankly, I don’t even know how you came to the conclusion that it was!

Curse your birth elsewhere, buddy. Take your genital loving ass over to the inguinal photo communities while me and the boys continue to peruse hands and earlobes to our hearts’ content.

after seeing several comments, and wondering whether everyone gets the reference, I’ve decided to just link the reference

See, I had a 6 cd rack for burning but I never learned why it was called burning. Every time I asked in irc, they said something to the effect of “head to the doctor, you should get that looked at.” Any kind lemming care to elucidate me?

Edit: finally I can rest in peace (and go to the doctor)

It’s a cartoon so fantastical elements are always going to appear. I’ve never witnessed a cat plotting how to distract a mouse’s big, tough country cousin just long enough to eat him, either

To paraphrase an enlightening post from an unenlightened place, many older cartoons were drawn or directed by people with real experiences to share. Their goal was to give their memories new texture upon a screen. Adventures and heartbreak and love and motion and landscapes pulled from within themselves. Because of the sheer amount of accrued media, some modern cartoons come not from experiences but from producing animations in the style of modern animations.

Like AI collapse, if you feed cartoons to cartoonists indefinitely, you end up with animation that looks like a cartoon rather than a cartoon that looks like something. It’s funny to notice purely imaginary visual tropes becoming standard

Is this a WW2 joke in the form of a cake gender reveal? That’s a lot of layers

It’s a borrowed African word. Borrowed in the 1800s. Borrowed by Americans. Borrowed. But it eventually shifted at some point in the last century to the definition most people are familiar with, though I can’t figure out how or why.

Another name for a peanut. Not sure how it became a soft pejorative, but I’m a fan

Objective truth, ungoober’d

Just between you and me, I’ve been known to peruse them as well.

I agree with you, but you have to put forward a point that doesn’t stand atop misunderstanding a citation, or else I’ll name you another foodstuff

The paper from 1942 was meant to establish long standing scientific curiosity about the topic, you.

There are plenty of articles about the phenomenon, but this one covers the interpersonal portions pretty well

Alright, so you’re looking at a hot man or woman. You recognize that their characteristics are attractive. Maybe you like big titties, maybe you like developed delts, maybe you like a nice set of hands. Most anyone who sees these will say something to the effect of “oh yeah, those are fine body parts. I have no issue viewing them.”

Genitalia, on the other hand, are not one of the most attractive parts on a person. Just look at the sort of pelvic accessory you’re not interested in (bi people, I’m sorry) and you’ll pretty quickly realize that they’re just no fun to look at. When you get closer and you’re hit with acidic or ammonia-esque scents, it only gets worse.

In order to get around the minor issue of procreation avoidance, a portion of your brain chimes in and says “well actually, it’s not so bad. Give it a chance.” Consider the difference between your perceptions before and after puberty, if you’d care to understand on a human level. (Ace people, I’m sorry) Or check out more articles if you’d like to study this a bit further.

This is only barely relevant, but it’s always funny to me that we had to develop completely separate processing systems to account for the fact that genitals look weird. Their appearances are so strange that you’d rather avoid them, if not for the portion of your brain that deadens your disgust. The meat hole and the yam-mushroom. Not nature’s finest works.

Huh, so he’s attempting to create a caste of conspicuously president-aligned workers. That seems like an interesting and not-at-all dangerous idea
