As a Bear I have to say I don't think people understand how psychologically damaging this is to my species. We see dead and we just cannot tell if they are really dead or faking it. It really starts to wear on the mind and we often fall into depressed hibernations or binge drinking.

I grew my first bear at age 15, spent the whole summer feeding it huckleberries and salmon. Eventually it left home to take a job in a circus, saddest day of my life.

Reposts are part of Reddit. Downvote and move on. I didn't see it 2 days ago because I'm not on Reddit all the time.

Kinda would've been hard to write a bear crying in the title.

I fully expect an ASCII crying bear in response to my comment.

[–]FellerFeller 4 points5 points ago

Next time do it the other way 'round. Link directly to the image on the artist's website so they can get the web traffic, and provide an imgur mirror in the comments in case we crash their server or something else goes wrong.

[–]spencer102 13 points14 points ago

Except, scumbag redditor: Only clicks imgur links, complains when someone rehosts on imgur.

[–]Rainfly_X 2 points3 points ago

This is why if I could snap my fingers and add exactly one feature to reddit, it would be an "imgur preview" field for posts. Consistent preview system that can take the bandwidth, but the link itself takes you to the actual content.

I'd rather people continue doing what they're doing. Imgur plays well with RES, and if I'm interested I can come into the comments to find the source.

He also gets instant Comment Karma for this. It's a win win on both sides.

[–]GuaranteedDownVote 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You're supposed to link to the website and leave an imgur mirror in the comments. That way the people who created it get the ad revenue and we still get a mirror in case the site goes down.

You're supposed to do it this way because the creators need ad revenue. Linking to imgur first takes money from them, but gets far more karma, which is why people do it.

From the sidebar:

Rehosted webcomics will be removed. Please submit a link to the original comic's site and preferably an imgur link in the comments.

[–]iConfessor[S] 1 point2 points ago

Now that I know, I will be doing that from now on. Thank you for your informative post. I don't really submit much and I've always seen this as the way everyone else does it so that's why I did it.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

Unfortunately people are selfish. I'd rather look at images without having to detour to a secondary site and the poster would rather get the increased views and upvotes from people like me. As long as he posts the source in the comments, everyone gets at least a little of what they came here for.

[–]hb_alien 2 points3 points ago

If you're interested? I think the point is that if he found the comic entertaining enough to post on reddit, he might as well give them those page views instead of linking to imgur.

Wow I'm totally blown away you got so downvoted. Linking to the original content has been really emphasized in the past, but I guess giving the original artists the web traffic they deserve isn't important anymore?

[–]aryst0krat 1 point2 points ago

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

They emphasize it very heavily in /r/comics still, but in /r/funny this is pretty standard.

[–]bill_nydus 1 point2 points ago

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

Because Reddit traffic on a popular post can kill the bandwidth to most sites real fast.

It's better to link to it in the post. At least he linked to it at all, unlike some people.

[–]rotarytiger 1 point2 points ago

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

I don't know why this is being downvoted. This same comic was posted a while ago, and this is just a repost of an artist's comic that someone took and posted to their own imgur account. Pretty lame.

It's called link-jacking and you shouldn't do it.

For anyone who might take this seriously, bears are sometimes known to eat dead animals. Please don't play dead when encountering a bear.

[–]Boutros-Boutros 30 points31 points ago

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

Brown bear you should play dead. Black bear, do not play dead, beat the shit out of the bear. Polar bear it really doesn't matter, you gonna die.

I heard with polar bear you should take off one article of clothing at a time and drop it behind you because polar bears are really curious and would stop to exam each dropped item.

[–]silent_p 13 points14 points ago

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

Yep. And walk away steadily. Don't run. And try not to die of hypothermia.

Also, if you encounter a wild dog in the arctic, you should put your forearm out in front of your throat and face, and try to force the dog to bite that first. Then you bring your other arm down on its neck, and try to break its spine.

The more you know!

My dad once routed a bear by using his snowshoes as "appendages" to make himself look bigger, and running into a screaming charge towards it.

Grizzly and kodiak are types of brown bears.

grizzly: Ursus arctos horribilis

kodiak: Ursus arctos middendorffi

Well, you just don't run away from bears. I heard about people who survived by playing dead.

I also heard about people who went into fetal position, and the bear ate the back of his neck.

One time on this cartoon show, a guy was running away from a bear when someone yelled at him to play dead. When he did, the bear buried the man and then said a little prayer for him.

This reminds of this one time I went camping back in '04 (haha sounds weird saying it like that). Anyway the craziest part was when a bear walked by and me and my buds were just thinking "OHhhh shittt" but it just kept going.

Anyway me and the bear are married now and are expected a couple of cubs on the way.
