A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Fun fact: Grizzlies and Polar Bears are the same species according to the Biological Species Concept.
Meaning they interbreed in the wild (somewhat rare), and produce viable offspring that can have babies as well.
We’re actually noticing this happening more and more with climate change. As Grizzly populations move further and further north, they’re encountering polar bears more often and are more likely to mate.
The number of confirmed hybrids has since risen to eight, all of them descending from the same female polar bear
She has a type.
There are tons and tons and tons of species that can do this. It’s not clear to me what the prevailing species concept is nowadays, if we’re even still following one.
Biologists wouldn't say they're the same species, because biologists are aware of interspecies hybrids and the species problem.
I bet they gives good hugs :3
Only once
It will keep you warm and cozy for the rest of your life!
Tall snow doggos
Another reference, this time in 3D:
Me, 6'4" 235lb, that's a full grown and a cub 1:1 statue
That cub will fuck me up
It would.
Off on a tangent, but relevant, I recently watched a video from a big cat trainer, and he stated that lion and tiger cubs are absolutely lethal at the age of 6 months. They can literally play with you to death.
They mentioned that in Tiger King and I just chuckled thinking that was the source of your reference.
I need a gummy bear for scale.
Zoom in on my shirt, the ring around my neck is about the height and width of a gummy bear, or at least close enough to work as an average
Do not – and I really cannot stress this enough – give any of those bears cocaine
instructions unclear, bears are now on pcp
A gallon of pcp?
Didn't even know they made it in liquid form
Science 🤷♂️
Everything's liquid form eventually
I dissolved it in Absinthe, seemed like a good idea at the time...
Thanks for reminding me about this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tFUvmZWf4hI
Not even a little, bitty Pick-a-Nick key bump?
Be good if the other bears were standing up straight too
Still rather a bear than a man though, amirite?
In the woods. You don’t see polar bears in the woods.
Motorcycle helmets are purposefully not-hard. Odd comparison.
is the fear of this bear why we're so intent in melting the icecaps?
*first floor windows don’t go nuts guys no way that lad is reaching all the way to the second floor
Calling something a "second storey" just sounds weird, although at least because they spelt it "story" we know they mean in the US sense.
Also, one of the few animals that will hunt humans for food
Can’t blame them. They’re running out of options.
"I can take 'im. I got my AR-15. Hold my beer..."
"I don't know about this, Tommy..."
Don't puss out on me kn...."
Crunch. Snap. Scream.
Bear is black, fight back.
Bear is brown, turn around.
Bear is white, say good night.
Also.
Some black bears are brown.
Some brown bears are black.
Good luck everyone.
Polar bears have black skin. Polar bears are black bears.
Your survival time would depend on how far apart you and the bear are, how's fast you can run, and how angry or hungry the bear is.
