Acorn Weevils (which I didn't know existed unit 1 min ago) are cool.



According to this random short they seem kinda pointless though. They just repeat a cycle of being born, growing up then borrowing into an acorn to lay eggs. They must serve some other purpose. Maybe there's another short about that I'll come across after scrolling through 20,000 other random shorts.

What's the point of a bear box when hiking? I mean I know it's so the bears don't get drawn to your tent because of the smell of the food but aren't humans food for bears? And we stink. So if you are already stinking up the tent attracting bears what's the harm in also having a granola bar in the tent with you?

Our older daughter was an avid hiker. She had a bear box waiting at a camp along the John Muir trail. It was part of a 220 mile hike. There was a lot more than a granola bar inside.

Bears are just animals. They look for food. They're not maniacal cannibals. Humans are not part of their diet. They are powerful animals who are capable of killing humans when their family is threatened.

Makes sense, I guess they'd go for the easy meal first and then fuck you up if they deemed it worth the effort. Best to keep the easy snacks in a different area.

Unless the bear has been spoiled (getting into human trash etc) the bear is actually naturally scared of humans. If you see one you should make as much noise as possible to avoid startling the bear at close range where he/she will be forced to fight/defend him/herself. Always best to be upwind of them too so they can smell you first and avoid you. Of course, it the bear is spoiled, say a prayer and hope for forgiveness in your next life.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK this chick.

Now in the grand scheme of things this isn't really animal abuse but still, leave the animals alone. Her sentence should be coliseum style. Force her into the tiger's pen for like 2 hours. Just her and the tiger and let's see what happens.

Also, just leave the poor tiger alone. As if his life isn't bad enough being in a pen, IT'S A PEN IN NEW JERSEY! Poor thing would have probably been better off with poachers.

Applies to tigers too....

You have to prove
That you're not scared
Enter the cage
Take the dare
Screaming death
In the beast's lair
You couldn't read the signs
Don't feed the bears

Don't go in there
You best beware
Don't feed the bears

Stupid fool
You should have known
That's some place
You shouldn't go
Polar giant on you
Blood starts to flow
They belong not in a cage
But in the fucking snow

Don't go in there
You best beware
And please don't feed the fucking bears!
