Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Possibly if you look at the ice-breaker as the symbolism of the impact man has on nature, it's cold unforgiving metal plowing through everything like a catholic priest at a boy's choir practice.

Then the polar bear, one of nature's mightiest creations, can only look up in helplessness against the beast passing by.

Poignant, by definition, generally means "sad," or at least "strongly affecting (one's emotions)," so you are technically correct--the best kind of correct.

However, a lot of people use the word a little more generically, meaning something more akin to "poetic." Also, some people don't put a lot of thought into pictures that are really cool.

I'm giving OP the benefit of the doubt on this one.

[–]JimJalinsky 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Actually, it's not that people use the word inappropriately. Poignant has several uses, not all of which connote sadness. I'd say OP's use of the word was appropriate given def. 3 below

poignant [poin-yuhnt, poi-nuhnt]   adjective 1.keenly distressing to the feelings: poignant regret. 2.keen or strong in mental appeal: a subject of poignant interest. 3.affecting or moving the emotions: a poignant scene. 4.pungent to the smell: poignant cooking odors.

Lots of inertia with a ship that big, throwing her into full reverse wouldn't be enough to save that polar bear.

[–]sanph 23 points24 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

A polar bear likely would not go near a moving ship. The ship was probably stopped for quite a while, which made the bear feel comfortable enough to approach it and inspect it for possible food. And since icebreaker operators are not monsters (despite many arctic activists' insistence to the contrary), they waited until it left before moving again.

[–]joegekko 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

And seeing as how the ship in the picture is the National Geographic Explorer, it's a pretty good chance the bear was relatively safe.

lots of ice though as well. Besides, 12 mph isn't that fast, the bear would be pushed aside and quiet confused. I don't think it is moving anyway.

Then you'll be happy to know that the ship was stopped since polar bears aren't stupid enough to approach a moving ship that closely. He was just inspecting it out of curiosity/seeing if he could find a way to climb up to munch on humans for lunch.

Icebreakers are very slow. 12 MPH at the fastest. Polar bears can run 25+ MPH

Of course, it wants to rip open the throats of everyone inside that ship.

And the ship was saved, having been pushed free of the beach by the mighty polar bear, his generosity given thanks by way of one hundred pounds of raw, salted bacon.

This reminds me of the St. Lawrence in the winter; there are thousands of seals on the ice. When the ship goes by, they all move and hop into the water. However, some wait until the very last second before the wriggle out of harms way. Seals can move surprisingly fast on the ice.

Sorry to be the 'um actually' guy here, but this picture is far from poignant, as it simply captured a marine mammal meeting a marine vessel.

Its such a shame to see that bear's habitat destroyed so some corporate fat cat can line his pockets.
