Do you feel safer around sharks or bears?

[thepopeofatheism]

Pandas are not bears >.<

They totally are
(types "Are pandas bears" into google)

Yep they totally are, apperently some people think they are raccoons. Though personally they look more like a bear to me, you know, with them being fucking bear shaped and all

Hmm, I should be more up on my science. Apparently it's only a recent discovery that has finally gotten scientists to decide conclusively that pandas are bears.

My mistake.

Most shark attacks are accidental association of a human. They think its a seal. Bears just want to straight up kill the shit out of you. My vote is for sharks

 

[The Singularity]

Whys this not a poll? I would feel safer around sharks. Sharks are really only going to kill you if your wounded and probably going to die anyway. As opposed to bears who are also normally ok except if your wounded, injured, carrying food, or come within 100 yards of their young. All I remember from a fishing trip to Canada was a story of one guy getting chased by a bear which then tracked him for 5 days before killing and eating him...(five days of him basicly running as much as he could)

One to the land and one to the sea, lest the world be engulfed in a neverending fire, a bear-shark-ocalypse, if you will.

If I'm on land, I totally feel safer around a shark.

If I'm in the water, well... bears can swim, too.

 

[IxionIndustries]

Bears.

Because I have studied Russian Bear Taming in the north for three long years. I can take a grizzly and turn it into a teddy.

 

[Rednog]

Sharks, I mean there in the water, I'm nice and dry.

It's nice to think that, except when somebody pulls out a shark gun and then you're completely screwed...

[Shurikens and Lightning]

I live in Florida, bears.

 

[Levitas1234]

Bears because i'm a mother fucking canadian! i know how to handle those grizzly bastards.

 

[idiotsavant]

I definitely feel safer around bears. Both should be docile as long as you don't do anything to aggravate them, but I feel less safe with sharks because I would be in their element. A land is a bears element, but I feel like I have a better chance outrunning a bear than out-swimming a shark.

 

[Discrodia]

Sharks. Unless you're bleeding, sharks are quite disinterested in humans as we aren't very tasty (not enough fat, ironically) and almost all attacks are misidentifications or provoked.

Bears, on the other hand, are large, aggressive, and kill far more people than sharks, in addition to being mammals that need very large amounts of food to keep going.

Qualifying statement for opinion: As a result of working at an aquarium, I know a crapton about sharks. You are about 50 times more likely to be killed by a falling airplane part than killed by a shark.

Seriously WHAT THE FUCK

This isnt at you, but at the science community. No fucking wonder we haven't cured cancer, been to mars or stopped this global warming crap they are too busy be baffled by whether a fucking bear shaped creature is a bear or a raccoon. What hope do we mere mortals have if the collective greatest minds we have to offer are unsure about a god damned bear being a god damned bear! Jesus christ I can't believe we trusted these people with the large hydron collider what the fuck kind of drugs did these people supply us with to make us think that was a good idea.

"So what could this machine do?"
"It could destory the universe"
"Go for it, as an unrelated question what does this look like to you"
"Well, i'm thinking the bear looks more like a badger, raccoon... maybe a shark?"

I wouldn't trust these people to tie their own damned shoes yet we have them fucking around with the creation of the universe. Fuck it. Just fuck it, at least this makes sense of why their are so many problems now that I know our best and brightest came from a crack den.

Anyway, rant over. I apologise but I felt it was nessessary to get that off my chest.

 

[happyvampyre]

Probably bears, because I adore bears and if it mauled me, at least I would die cuddling a cute, fuzzy creature. I also like sharks, but they can bite with 800 lbs of pressure per square inch, which means say good-bye to your limbs. And then they go into a frenzy, which would not be fun...

 

[CrysisMcGee]

Depends on my location, on land I'd prefer to be around sharks and in water around a bear.

This explains how to set up a fight between the two.​

Great. You just wasted 8 minutes of my life. I almost turned it off because that announcer was annoying.

Yeah I can't stand him, he's alright when not doing his shitty landlord act though, should make a note to skip past his bit.

 

[FoolKiller]

Safer around the shark. I could just get out of the water. No such simple strategy for the bear.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

Bears. Because winnie the pooh has always been my idol.

 

[AvsJoe]

Well, I have been near a full-grown bear before and trust me, I did NOT feel safe. He (at least I think it was a he) and I were about 35 - 40 feet away from each other and while he was aware of my presence he was more preoccupied with the dumpster he was foraging in. I, however, was fully focused on the bear and calmly but quickly got my ass away from him.

But thinking about it, I'd be a lot more comfortable around a bear than a shark. Humans are slow as hell in the water and I'm slower than average so I would rather face off against a land beast than a sea beast.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Bears, I am not a great swimmer, and in the water, you have no defense, at least on land I can move well and can grab something on the run.

 

[GameOverGoblin]

I'd feel safer around bears. If a shark was attacking me in the water I would be fucked cuz I'm a horrible swimmer. At least if a bear attacks me then I have more of a chance of escaping.
