Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

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.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • 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.

The bear didn't put the arm in its mouth, Petersen rammed his arm down the bear's throat in an effort to rip its heart out. After realizing he couldn't reach the heart he decided it would be merciful to render the bear unconscious in the quickest manner possible, which simply happened to be biting its jugular vein.

[–]Slideways 2 points3 points ago

Beat me to it. It's the only logical conclusion.

[–]evilzergling 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well yes but it only seems logical that the farther you ram your arm down the throat the more closed the mouth is going to get hence the teeth digging into your bicep area or shoulder. I have no idea how he didn't lose his arm.

Well, I know that dog's can't bite down if you grab and pull on their tongue, because of how their jaw muscles work. Maybe there's something similar like that for bears?

It may not have been able to apply pressure with the whole arm in there. Breaking it or taking it out of the socket while trashing around sounds more probably.

[–]NewHorizons1 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He probably wedged his forearm in the back of it's mouth. It would not have been able to bite as hard, since it would not have had the additional leverage afforded by the length of its jaws. However, it probably still crushed his arm pretty badly.

[–]skybluskyblue 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Having had to wrestle dogs for a living, I have often thought about this technique as an option [in an extreme circumstances of course].

What if the dog kills the veterinarian then attacks me, what would I do? I would use my hand to cut off the dog's air supply until it is unconscious. Of course I would not "finish it off" but I would be sure the animal was fully blue before I'd pull my hand out. Why would i be brave enough with a large jaw around my arm? Because I have had to sit quietly while an animal digs its claws or teeth into my arm as the veterinarian finishes injecting the IV anesthetic and/or because after an animal has hurt me I have had to resist the urge to "hit back" so many times that teeth and claws no longer made me have automatic responses. I can think verses panic in situations with dogs and cats at least.

[–]sodappop 0 points1 point ago

I had my leg chewed up by a large German Shepard. I couldn't imagine if it was a bear. I ripped the dog off my leg, and he proceeded to bite my arm... ripped him off that and he bit into my other arm... repeat until he was finally dragged off. Was a very hard ordeal, and I ended up needing surgery, and 3 months on crutches.

Got a wicked "happy face smile" scar from it, though.

[–]skybluskyblue 1 point2 points ago

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

A sudden and sustained attack is different from the bites I received. Yeah, I doubt I would do much better in that situation.

The right and left common carotid arteries supply blood to the head and not the jugular vein which carry blood away from from the head. An occluded jugular wouldn't necessarily cause you/or the bear to pass out.

Another interesting bear story.

Jedediah Smith was a fur trader and trapper in the Rockies during the 1820s and 30s. On his first expedition he was attacked by a bear, and managed to fight it off. Unfortunately, half his face had been torn off. He sewed it back on himself.

I can't understand how a man could bite a grizzly bear's jugular. Bears have hugely thick necks with tons of fur, fat, and muscle. How are our mouths even big enough to get there?

It seems much more likely that stuffing his arm down the bear's throat choked the bear. I know that this is a very successful way to fight off a big dog. Even so, a Grizzly throat must have a huge diameter.
