My dad is a hunter that refuses to kill bears because when skinned they look eerily similar to human beings...

[–]Gekokujo 57 points58 points ago

I have seen a couple of skinned bears in my day and can confirm they look much more human than they do ursine when they have no hair/skin. Besides the skull (which is canine in appearance) the rest of the body when skinned AND HUNG UP looks eerily human. If you were to stand the corpse up on its hind legs it would look like someone skinned a werewolf. I think I was 9 the first time I saw one and I remember it at 36 like it was yesterday.

[–]rasputine 81 points82 points ago

Interesting. I wonder if the stories of werewolves come from people finding a bald bear in ye olden times.

[–]Conquerd 53 points54 points ago

No, they come from people finding werewolves. D'uh.

George Sr. had used his considerable means to stage intricate scenarios, involving a one-time employee named Yao Guai.

[–]Sirspen 22 points23 points ago

I was thinking more balverine, but Yao Guai is closer.

[–]TD350 6 points7 points ago

the balverine design was best in the original fable, actually, everything was best in the original fable...

[–]LoughLife 4 points5 points ago

Too bad fable sequels blow chunks.

not as many fallout players on reddit as I thought, had to go down 20 comments before this reference

[–]grammer_polize 43 points44 points ago

[–]The_Doctor_00 17 points18 points ago

I went down none...

[–]G182 26 points27 points ago

The difference an hour makes

[–]Dildo_Ball_Baggins 23 points24 points ago

In an hour I can consume 7 bowls of cereal.

[–]KallistiEngel 10 points11 points ago

Nobody can eat 7 bowls!

[–]Dildo_Ball_Baggins 23 points24 points ago

I went on a ridiculous training camp starting on a Friday night and ending Sunday afternoon. It was run by an ex-SAS soldier who trains and helps select future SAS candidates, and runs these camps for groups. The idea was to promote team bonding in "extreme" circumstances. We were given a ration pack and had one change of clothes. It was basically a bunch of physical and mental challenges whilst getting from point A to point B. The kicker was the sleep deprivation tactic. It was only Friday and Saturday night but they ensured that we never got more than an hour of straight sleep, waking us up at random times and intervals. Couple this with the physical demands during the day and it didn't take long to feel exhausted.

I got home Sunday night, slept like a stoned Koala and woke up absolutely starving. I enjoy my cereal, so the combination of being able to sit and pour/eat easily and my ravenous state resulted in 7 delicious bowls of cereal in an hour.

[–]KallistiEngel 11 points12 points ago

Ah, I was making a movie reference. Cool Hand Luke, when Luke says he can eat 50 eggs in an hour and Dragline responds with "Nobody can eat 50 eggs".

It's a good 1960s movie, you should check it out if you're into that sorta thing.

I performed this poem at a Shoe Carnival when I was 5. It was glorious.

[–]Snakks 22 points23 points ago

What is this amazing thing called "shoe carnival" i must know.

[–]bru_tech 13 points14 points ago

It's a shoe store with all their shoes on the wall rather than having someone go to the back. Also known as shoe show, shoe station, payless, etc

[–]wagglyteff 16 points17 points ago

That was not very exciting.

[–]didntVoteObama 7 points8 points ago

He didn't mention that there are gimmicky little games around the store to try to win... yea still not exciting at all.

[–]TomSelleckPI 9 points10 points ago

My dad was such a cheapskate when I was growing up, he would argue with the cashier that the spin-o-wheel thing was "rigged" or that he should get another spin...

Years of therapy will never fix the shame and embarrassment...

[–]-eDgAR- 352 points353 points ago

That bear wasn't shaved it was diseased and it wasn't the only one either. This post is not really funny, that's why it's mostly been posted to /r/WTF in the past.

[–]iBuzzKill 46 points47 points ago

Okay this makes more sense. I was just about to ask who the brave soul was that got stuck with the job of shaving a god damned bear.

[–]KoreanTerran 68 points69 points ago

It's why we really need /r/reddit.com back.

There's /r/redditdotcom, but it's at a pretty low sub count so the attention whores looking for views and shit wouldn't go there.

[–]Kyle_Crafty 13 points14 points ago

I've been seeing a lot of comments saying basically what you've said. Could you explain the superiority?

[–]KoreanTerran 59 points60 points ago

It was a blanket subreddit where you could post anything that you wanted.

Right now, a lot of the default subreddits have guidelines and rules that submitters should follow, but a lot of posters don't even bother reading it and end up posting random pictures they just want the world of reddit to see.

So they don't care about which subreddit they're in and they just post for the larger audience.

[–]rarededilerore 12 points13 points ago

But why is it closed now?

[–]happycrabeatsthefish 38 points39 points ago

It was seen as too powerful so the admins gathered the Dragonballs and wished for it to be closed forever.

[–]-eDgAR- 5 points6 points ago

I couldn't agree with you more.

[–]Johnnyash 2 points3 points ago

I was gonna ask how they managed to keep it still long enough to shave it...but science

[–]whatsthematter 63 points64 points ago

Still not as scary as hairless chimps.

[–]Things_and_things 164 points165 points ago

That thing is using his balls as a chair...

[–]Snakks 55 points56 points ago

I think we have found our new leader...

[–]Qzy 30 points31 points ago

The guy without balls in the AMA can't be in the club though.

[–]kasparovnutter 99 points100 points ago

Who cares if he's hairless, that chimp's ripped.

[–]NoDayzOff 19 points20 points ago

P 90 X!!

[–]redground83 28 points29 points ago

Damn, that's crazy how freaking strong they get just going about their everyday business. Imagine how much you would have to work out to get your arms and shoulders looking like those of that chimp.

[–]notenoughweights 37 points38 points ago

Oh you mean climbing trees all day with constant food intake? I bet if you ate all day and spent all day climbing trees and walking/running around youd be a beast!

[–]AuxiliaryTimeCop 10 points11 points ago

Literally.

[–]MincedOaths 1 point2 points ago

And also about as good in doing math.

[–]seraglio 62 points63 points ago

Do you even chimp?

[–]herruhlen 16 points17 points ago

Looks like a ripped Patrick Stewart with a goatee to me.

[–]MincedOaths 1 point2 points ago

The balls give it away.

[–]BlakeBallard 12 points13 points ago

I love this picture because the chimp looks strikingly similar to my late grandfather.

[–]pinkythug 13 points14 points ago

That chimp definitely lifts

[–]blackmist 5 points6 points ago

Is that at Twycross. I'm sure I saw one there that has alopecia.

That day I learned that while chimps look cute and cuddly, they are ripped to shit and could quite easily snap your arms without breaking a sweat. Their keepers are alive because the chimps allow it.

[–]LoughLife 7 points8 points ago

I beg to differ. Not scary so much as humbling. Fuck man that thing looks humanoid

[–]Master_Drow 10 points11 points ago

Should I point out that it is humanoid?

[–]KittenBaller 24 points25 points ago

Don't let Stephen Colbert see this.

[–]packos130 9 points10 points ago

Your talent never ceases to amaze me. I've never seen a penis with teeth, ears, and a tongue before, and I must say, it's very intimidating.

But why doesn't it have an eye? I mean, it should have at least one eye...

[–]LovesScience 6 points7 points ago

HAHAHA I take it back, this is beautiful. Thanks.

Twas the bear really bare.

Or just not enough hair.

I feel like this is how you get a mythical creature started.

Shave a bear, release it near a farm of some kind after letting it get really hungry. Next thing you know monster hunters is searching the backwoods of your grandma's house looking for this monster that ate some goats.
