I straight up blocked the entire lemmy.world instance over this hypothetical. Too many people actually tried comparing this to discrimination against POC and Jewish folk.
Honestly? No love lost, I just see less shitty memes and bad takes now.
Not necessarily. Bears only attack humans if they feel threatened or see no alternative. In most cases the bear would prefer to avoid any confrontation with a human. They’re mostly peaceful.
Can confirm, bears can definitely adapt to being around humans and be used to their presence. Lived in a tourist town that had a massive amount of black bears and I’ve literally been close enough to pet one after going around a corner, we startled eachother for sure, sat and stared for a second, and then calmly backed away and went our merry way. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a bear attack there, and it’s literally where the story of cocaine bear came from and is filled with incredibly dumb tourists.
I still think the bear question is completely loaded
I would ALWAYS choose the bear. Everyone I know would ALWAYS choose the bear. If the random man was a person they were close to, most people would STILL choose the bear because bears are rad as hell
